NOTES AN D COMMENT 5 In the last few years Great Britain Britain has seen . and endiured many grave strike», but a .teachers' strike in the whole county is an unpleasant unpleasant novelty even there" and now. Herefordshire has been the scene of this conflict. The teachers closed closed seventy schools in one day by "walking out" and easily, enlisted the support of their pupils, who were doubtless glad to suspend their studies and indulge in mild disorders ; processions, noise, mischief, mischief, excitement were not an welcome "relief."

Food Poison and Disease. There is more or less disagreement disagreement among physicians concerning the significance of uric acid in the system ; many deny that there is anÿ such: thing as the "uric-acid diathesis." But whether uric acid is the agent that produces disease, or is itself a product of some other more subtle poison, matters little to the patient. He suffers from 4 cause it has done so much, for me.

They placed placed pickets on duty ; they saw to it that headmasters did not take their posts; they resorted to coercion. What's society coming to ? respectable respectable men and women are asking each other. Perhaps the real answer answer is that society is too slowly coming to common sense ways of avoiding strife or ending it. Strikes of public servants are particularly objectionable, but in France and elsewhere ways of preventing them have been found. Legislation and 3er machinery are necessary, but, above all, common sense and justice on both sides. -- «Ï* connected with RODERICK M. MITCHELL Baritone Teacher of Situlnz Pupil of Mr. Russell G.

With the recent laying down _ of the battleships Royal Sovereign and Royal Oak at Portsmouth and Devonport, a new departure was made By the British Admiralty. These two ships, with three others to be land down at private yards this year, will be considerably smaller and slower than their immediate immediate predecessors, and they will also be coal burners, carrying oil only as auxiliary fuel. This means any battleships now under construction construction and operation, but it is believed that the Admiralty in making making .the decision was guided more by the opinion that battleships have grown beyond the most practicable size than they were by economy. It is believed that the new ships will have a displacement of about 26,000 tons, thus being smaller than any battleships under under construction, construction, except those in France, which are about the same size.
