Welsh in bis jnnltor job nt the HnlloweU School, nnd if the ce-mplamts of the teachers there ngnlnsf him arc just the property com imltoo certainly will present the matter to the Board of Kdueation." That was the statement today ot Wil liam Itowen, member o the' property committee, in nnswer to renewed com plaints concerning Welsh. Miss Sarah A. Weidlcr, supervising principal at the IInllowcll School! recently resigned be cause ol alleged Insubordination nnd in sults of the janitor. Her resignation has not jet been accepted by the board and her place is unfilled. Ask Open Hearing Because n previous hearing grauted theiii by tin. property committee failed to gain Welsh's dismissal teachers from the IInllowcll School Inst night pre sented tlie case to the Women Teach ers' Association and the 800 members agreed tn back the light to the finish. Tlio association will present a petition to the Hoard of Kdueation within a few days csl.ing for an open hearing ou the matter. "It is a matter of principle,'' Miss Alice (.!. Fox, one ot the Hallow ell school teachers, who prescutedthe ques tion to the association, said today. "Welsh, in fits of uncontrollable rage, countermanded orders issued by the principal J be damned the principal in the presence of pupils; be shoved his list in her face and roared 'I'm a Bol shiwik: I'm a Bolshiwik,' He enforced unsanitary conditions for teachers and pupils by closing the coal air ventila tors and turning off the water in toilets. He smoked in the yard where he was supposed to see that no pupils smoked. He threatened to 'get' the principal. Should Stand Together "We put (lie matter before tlio properly committee once 11 ml Hint body decided that Welsh should apologize and remain. His apology was virtually another insult and his work and man ner's have not improved. We feel that the women teachers should stand to gether in this, because the IInllowcll is not the only school in which such con ditions exist," Tliouins Shallcross, chairman of the property committee, and members said tliey had heard nothing further con cerning the controversy since they de cided Welsh should be retained. "I had never seen the janitor before," said Itowen. "He said he had been in the service of tlie board for ten or twelve years and there had never be fore been any complaint against him. John I). Cnssell, superintendent of buildings, said the mini's character and service hnd been good. We believed that the fellow would apologize and hoped Mis Weidlcr would take a sensi ble view of the matter so things could be adjusted. If they present further petitions and filrthcr evidence tlie ques tion will of course be brought up again in committee, nnd if the committee thinks it sufficiently important it will gy to the board."

Sickness Cure or Sickness Prevention buritnr When Pasteur proved the relation of ecrms to in fectious disease, he marked a big advance in that development of medical science which reigns to day the Idea of Sickness Prevention. As a result, many plagues and epidemics that were the bane of former ages no longer terrify the world, and sciencq has now developed an effective agent against the condition which is the first cause of over 90 of all human disease constipation. That effective agent is Nujol. Nujol by relieving constipation pretenu tlie absorbtion of poisons which otherwise would he taken into tlie blood and so under-mine the whole system. Leading medical authorities agree that pills, salts, castor oil, etc., simplyy; and weaken tlie system. But Nujol is entirely different. Nujol prevents constipation by softening the food waste and encoiilaging the intestinal muscles to act naturally.
