EMPLOY 706,000 TEACHERS
There were 23,500,000 persons attend
ing schools of some kind In the United
States In 1916, according to estimates
of Uncle Sam. “This means,” declares
the annual report of the commissioner
of education, “that approximately 24
per cent of the inhabitants of the
United States are attending school, as
compared with 19 per cent in Great
Britain, 17 per cent in France, 20 per
cent in Germany, and a little over 4 per
cent In Russia.” The bureau points
out, however, that the result is much
less favorable to the United States if
daily attendance, rather than enroll
ment, is taken as the basis for compari
son, since some of the other nations
have better attendance and a longer
school term than the United States.
The number of pupils In public kin
dergarten and elementary schools rose
from 10,900,000 in 1910 to 17,935,000 in
1914, an increase of more than a mil
lion in four years. In the same period
the number of public high school stu-
dents increased from 915,000 to 1,219,-
000; and for 1915 the corresponding
figure was 1,329,000. As the result of
this increase of 110,000 in public high
school students the total number of
students in the 14,000 high schools of
all kinds increased to 1,500,000. Of the
11,074 public high schools reported,
8,440 had full four-year courses. Ap
proximately 93 per cent of all public
high school students are in four-year
high schools.
Teachers Number 706,000.
And Overdue Notes.
The train was late, even later than
is usual on a Boston & Maine leased
line, and as they crawled through one
station a weary traveler was heard to
exclaim:
“What a villianous station this is!
They try to irritate one on purpose.
Look at those girls in the refreshment
room! Why do they dress them all in
black?”
“Don’t you know?" said a fellow
passenger, in a most solemn tone of
voice, and with a look of awe on his
face.
“No,” replied the curious and fret
ful traveler.
“Why,” said the other, "because
they are in mourning for the late
trains.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
The alleged young woman was out
rowing with a possible suitor and had
taken her little sister, who was ex

Suggestions to Childless
Women.
Among the virtues of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the
ability to correct sterility in the
cases of many women. This fact is
well established as evidenced by the
following letter and hundreds of others
we have published in these colums.

Gasoline Field Kitchen.
Among the useful and Interesting de
vices of which the origin is directly
traceable to the war, says a contem
porary, the automobile field kitchen is
one that is made necessary by the
swiftness with which armies in the
field are transported and by the
promptness with which these armies
must be supplied with food. In this
field kitchen the army cook raises the
canopy on the rear end. Behold! A
kitchen of the most compact, yet of
the most complete kind, is revealed.
Four high-pressure burners furnish
the heat; cleverly concealed pumps
force water from the 50-gallon tank in
front of the car to the enameled sink
In the kitchen; and a variety of uten
sils, such as jugs, plates, meat-chop
pers and fish-slicers are provided for
the rapid and clean preparation of food.
Like most modern kitchens, too, this
one boasts of ventilators, both at the
sides and in the roof of the car. In-
deed, it would seem ns if the English
firm which invented this motor-kitchen
simply made a practical, miniature edi
tion of a most approved and modern
type of hotel kitchen.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat It, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains In the back or sick head-
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weath
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinons waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
