Australia Needs Teachers
Australia has a shortage of ‘edchers,
and many schools have been forced to
close. In Victoria/more than 3U0 are
needed, and 30 county schools are hav-
ing enforced vacations. To cope with
the situation the department of edu-
cation is employing 100 married wom-
en, mostly former instructors. The
teachers’ union explains that low sal-
aries, many receiving less than $15 a
week, and unreasonable retrictions,
have caused many teachers to resign.
Officials are considering salary in-
creases.

<sided game which ended 10 tc► 1.
The winners ..scored enough, runs
in the first inning to win''the game,
"but did they did not stop at one
•big inning. Four runs in «}e- fourth-
and six in the third gave the Shop
Sers their ten runs. The four runs
in the first inning resulted from
a walk to Envin, a sacrifice by
Lightholder, an error by Akins, and
singles by Myers, Maxwell, i----
Winston. • , . ,
Conally went three innings om-
the mound for the losers, and after
being bflmped for four runs in the
first he let the enemy down score-
less in The second inning. He looked
as if he had hit his stride in the
second, but went out in the fourth
under a barrage of base hits. After
Conally had walked Myers, and
Blakely and Maxwell got cn by er-
rors to fill the bases, Winston came
thru with his second hit of the game
which scored three runners. The
hit was a double to right field.
Zablosky singled, scoring Winston,
and Hurn singled, scoring Zablos-
ky. Hurn scored on an infield out.
Conally’s teammates gave him
poor support, making five errors
while he was in the box, although
Swafford ranged all around the
keystone sack making many nice
plays. He. accepted seven chances.
Blakely held the M. B. A. well

-riCCASICNALLY I am toon-
’ V/ bled with spells of consti-
pation,” says Mrs. John L. Pence,
Broadway, Va. *T always use
Thedford’s BladfrDraught when I
feel a spell of this kind coining
on, for it saves mo a bad head-
ache. My color gets sallow at
times. I get rgal yellow.
*T have found Black-Draught to
be the finest kind of a remedy
for this. I take Black-Draught
and make a tea out of it, and take
it, along in small doses for sever-
' al days. I have never found any-
thing that served me so welL
“Since I have known about
' Black-Draught, I have not suffer-
ed nearly so much with head-
ache, caused from indigestion. If
I find my tonguo is coated, and
I wake up with a bad* taste in
my mouth, I know I have been
eating indiscreetly, and I imme-
diately resort to Black-Draught
to straighten me out.”
