BUSY MONTH FOR SCHOOL NURSE
Few Cases Of Contagious Diseases But
Many Minor Injuries.

'"Fy '''''N' ''J1f'~S'
The following is the report of the
School Nurse for the month Of Nov
ember:
Thursday, October 25, Dr. Bennett,
a dentist from New York, spoke to
several groups of school children on
the care of the teeth. He met the
Senior High school pupils in the as.
sembly half Of the first period and
spent the remainder OF the forenoon
in the School street building. The
third and fourth grades from the Cora
B. Whitney School were also present.
DR.. Bennett explained very clearly
the function OF the teeth, the proper
care and the results of neglect of the
teeth He possessed the ability of
making the children ask and answer
questions. He was greatly pleased
with the excellent attention and in
terest displayed by our boys and girls.
II may be interesting to note here
that Or. Bennett Is one of several den
lists employed by Colgate and Com
pany to explain to school children the
Importance of good teeth There has
ben very marked improvement
since his talk
There have been several cases of
tons tits, three OF chickenpox, and
one of scarlet fever.
Owing to the low water supply it
has been impossible 10 use the fans
for ventilation until very recently.
The outdoor recesses and open win
dows have in a measure kept these
diseases from spreading. Despite the
uncei tainty Of the weather, coughs
and colds are not prevalent among
the children, BY prompt ard persis
tent treatment IL has been necessary
to dism SIS even the cases Of tonsil
tits. Although the number OF child
rem operated for adenoids and tonsii-
tits seems very small, there is such

tion OF the children is most encourag

sible for her to return to school for
some time. One boy fell down stairs,
severely wrenching his back, but he
returned after days absence. Al

as the boy entirely reacted he was
taken home. There have been rs ca
ses Of the usual minor injuries.
In the domestic science room hot
cocoa is served daily to those pupils
who carry their dinners. The child

MOVABLE STEEL DAM
GUARDS CANAL GATE
Remarkable Engineering cortrivance
at Entrance to 500
Canal,

Detroit Mich, Nov ga movable
steel dam, pacing of which is de-
scribed by government officials in the
office of the United States Engineer
here as remarkable engineering
feat, is nearing completion in the
north canal at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
The most remarkable feature of the
work, the engineers say, is the swing
Ing OF the entire framework of the
dam, weighing approximately so tons,
into place at one time. This was ac-
complished by means Of stff leg
derrick on either side of the canal
The dam will have been installed
By December /, the engineers say
work OF placing the gates being under
wav at present.
The dam was desired to afford pro
lection to two locks in the 500 Canal
When the dam is completed it will
be possible to shut off the water
through the canal entirely it is point
ed out. II at any time any of the
gates in the locks become out of or.
ner II would be impossible to stop
the flow OF water, which might flow
through the canal at high rate OF
speed, imperiling shipping and car
wing away other locks. 1t Is to pre-
vent such an occurrance that the new
dam was authorized by the govern
ment.
The new dam is said by engineers
toNmark a new step in such construc'
ton. the entire Homework and gates
beiiAg built of steel.
The dam IS to be operated like a
draw bridge, being divided in the mid
die. 1t will be possible to close either
or both sides at time, keeping the
water from one or two locks, as de-
sired. The dam will be tested each
month.

AREN'T PLEADS FOR
CATTLE GROWERS

The following letter, written by
Congressman Arentz to the ways and
means committee of the House. is self
explanatory; and it shows how the
Congressman thinks and works:
Referring to the petition from
Western stockraisers which was
placed before the Committee on Ways
and Means. asking for a protective
tariff on hides: l am informed the
committee has decided adversely
thereto. hope there may yet be
chance for reconsideration
| have no desire to go into the
technicalities of the situation, but |
would make the moral urge upon the
further attention of the committee
that tariff on hides is not at this
time question of relative profits, nor
of income to the Government. 1t is
the matter of preventing the waste
of seven per cent of the value of pro-
duction in the stockraising industry.

gagged in stock-raising outnumber as

protective proposition" | say to
your committee that the stockraisers
of the West look with longing eyes on
this $75.000.00O business. when hides
are permitted to rot on the ground for
want OF a market.
Exports of hides from the United

SO per cent of the hides exported from
Rio de Janeiro. the principal shipping
point for South American countries.
With a considerable amount of the
great natural production of hides in
the West going to waste, this country
surpasses Great Britain in its pur-
chases of South American hides.
Letters coming to my office state
the fact that some ranchers of the
West no longer save hides at all. That
most useful portion of an animal has
become reject and a hindrance.
They do not put one moment of un-
necessary work on hide These men
can not and will not compete with
peon Indian cowpunchers of Brazil
and the Argentine. nor ever descend
to the standard of living which salts
fies those people. American spirit
and intelligence will never permit
them to do so.

where proceeds from the sale of six
hides. with all the labor Eat high
wages) which had been put on them,
brought the seller not enough to pay
the cost of small patch to the cover
of his automobile. Equally ridiculous
and unnumbered cases are banded
about in the public press of the West.
This condition continues because.
through free trade. greedy manufac-
turers have been able to ruin the nat
ural market of the stockman by first
buying the cheap products abroad, and
later by acquiring, establishing, and
charging, cattle-raising outfits of
their own in South America, operated
by peon labor, which they now sell
fishly. and without consideration of
their brethren, ask you not to destroy.
The only possible reason advanced
for thus selfishly ignoring the indi-
vidual rights of fellow American citi-
zens is that a tariff on hides would
make people of the United States pay
more for their shoes. This, | submit,

some time have been charged for shoe
leather "all the traffic will bear" The
few additional cents which were
gained by utilizing the cheap foreign
product have gone to swell bullying
fortunes, not to cheaper footwear for
the people.
Sooner or later the viewpoint Of the
aforesaid 20-to-1 majority of citizens
and voters in this Republic must be
considered. Stockmen of the West
believed a Republican administration
would, through a protective tariff,
save to them some reasonable value
in hides.
The man of the West sorrowfully
reports: "All know is that once l
could sell hides at a profit which is
deserved by the producer of a neces-
sity. Now I cannot sell them at all"

Exploration in Tibet Have Revealed
Existence of a More Massive

Among the greatest results achieved
by the Hedin explorations in Tibet
was the discovery of a continuous
mountain chain, 1000 miles long,
stretching east and west, and which,
taken as a whole, is the most massive
range OF the crust of the earth. Its
average height above sea level is
greater than that of the Himalayas,
and although its peaks are from 1900
to 5000 feet lower than Mount Ever
est, its passes average 5000 feet high
er than those of the Himalayas.
The eastern and western parts of
this range were known before, but the
central and highest part, in Bongba,
was unexplored previous to Doctor
Hedin's visit. He crossed ten passes

There are two kinds of skeleton

All the bones must be properly as
