THE ' SAN FRANCISCO CALL SUNDAY, MA RCH 6, 1904 ADVERTISEMENTS. ol J Iv . Miss Alice Bailey, of Atlanta, Ga, tells how she was permanently cured of inflammation of the ovaries, and escaped the surgeon’s knife, by the wuse of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. The universal indicationsof the approach of woman's great enemy, inflam- mation and disezse of the ovaries, are a dull throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tendermess and heat low down in the side, with occasional shooting pains. Om examination it may be found that the region of pain will show some swelli This is the first stage of inflammation of the ovaries. “DeAr Mgrs. vEEAM :—] wish to express my gratitude for the restored health and happiness Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound has brought into my life. “I had suffered for three years with terrible pains at the time of menstruation, and did not know what the trouble was until the doctor pronounced it inflammation of the ovaries, and proposed an operation. “I felt so weak and sick that I felt sure that I could not survive the ordeal, and so I told him that I would not ungergoit. The followin week I read an advertisement in the(fa r of your Vegetable Compoun: in such an emergency, and so I deci etfeto try it. Great was my joy to find that I actually improved after taking two bottles, so I kept, takin; it for ten weeks, and at theend of that time I was cured. I had gaine: eighteen pounds and was in excellent health, and am now. __* You surely deserve great success, and you have my very best wishes.”— Miss Avice BarLey, 50 North Bou]evard, Atlanta, Ga.

If it had not been for I think I would have died. tell you how I suffered. I could hardly walk, was unable to sleep or eat. Men. struation was irregular. At t I had to stay in m{ bed, and flowed so badly that they sent for a doctor, who said I had in- flammation of the ovaries, and must through an operation, as no medicine could help me, but I could not do that. “I received a little book of yours, and after reading it, I concluded to try Lydia E.

Long says such a con- | tributicn is fn accord with an ‘act of | the Legislature, which, however, by another act could raise the amount to $24 in each school year if it so desired. The opinion says: The Board of Education can legally devote | any porticn of a teacher's salary to the an-| nuity fund with the teacher's consent, but no grester amount than $12 per year can Le | withheld without the teacher's consent | You inquire “‘Can the board make such order by ratsing the salaries of teachers?” By | “such order’” I assume you mean an order | withholding a portion of a teacher's selary: for the benefit of the fund in excess of $13 in! cach school vear, “such order’ to accompany | a raise of the teacher's salary. Subdivision 2 of section 1 of chapter 11 of erticle VII of the charter empowers the Board of lducation “to employ such teach- ers and_persons as may be necessary to carry into effect its powers and duties; to fix, alter and approve their salaries and compensa- ton and to withhold for good and sufficlent e, the whole or any part of the wages, salary cr compensation of any pergon or per- | sons emnloyed as aforesaid.” BOARD SOLE JUDGE. | Under this grant of power, which is in 1o | r inconsistent with the general Stats the Board of Education is the sole judg: law, of the amount which shell be paid for the performance which a as the of the nt_may be increased or decreased voard may determine. The manner in s to be exercised fs de sions _of the sa k it necessary that the board shall, in April of each vear, furnish the Auditor with an estimate of the amount which services of a teacher. should be set apart from the common school yment of teachers’ salaries (sub saction 1) and the board is re- twveen the first and twenty-first days of each year,” to ‘‘adopt a schedule mlaries for the next ensuing fiscal year rs and all employes of the school | ent."” fon 4.) Mey of each yea therefore, the board may increase the salaries of teachers In such | may elect, but I know of no re tmposition of any conditions ch increase may be made to nd. Certainly no such increase can be crdered upon the condition that the reciplent should pay a part or the whole of the in- into a specfal fund, wheéther that fund ablished by law for the very worthy of providing: for the support of retired for a less worthy object.

The power granted by the charter “'to with- | hold for geod and sufficient cause the whole or any part of the wages, salary or compensation of any person or persons”’ employed by the board is not without its limitations, and, in my opinicn, oiferred for the ‘sole purpose of aiding in the imposition of penalties and | fines for insubordination, tardiness, etc., com- mitted by the tsacher. It has no reference to the retention of any part of the salary of a teacher who has dome his of her full duty promptly an f lly and in subordination to the rules and regulations of the department. Certainly it was not intended to place in the hands of the Board of Education the disposi- tion, without the teacher's consent, of any part of her salary for other than 'good and sufficient and the appropriation of the salary or haritable purpose, however w in the intent of the sectic howsver, any portion of | the salary is withheld “‘for good and sufficient | cas e.. caure relating to the discipline »f the department, one-half of the amount | withheld musi be paid into the annuity and retirement fund, in accordance with the pro- visions of section 10 of the amendatory act of 19C.

After arousing the few sleeping inmates they proceeded to throw the goods and chat- tels of Landlord Louis Rodar through the windows to the sidewalk. The news spread with great rapidity and that portion of Howard street was | thrown into excitement, A crowd soon: collected and the sidewalk philosophers dwelt upon the injustice of the munici- pal government. The first thing to come sailing | through the air from one of the third story windows was a bedstead that in the dim past was “a thing of beauty | and a joy forever.” Then followed a perfect rain of household effects from lace curtains to a kitchen table. Two | wagons were in waiting made several trips with the remains of a once happy home to the dumping xrounds at the foot of Sixth street. Scores of pillows and coverlets that once graced the show window of some house furnisher, but now reeking with flith, all found their way into the wait- ing wagons. Some wit in the crowd suggested to Dr. Hassler that he sta- tion a man at the door to keep the stuff from walking upstairs again. Dr. Hassler stated that the bulld- ing was unsafe, unsanitary and a breeding place for disease. The build- | ing and contents had been condemned by the Board of Health and during | the course of the coming week the structure would be torn down. The patrons of the place were of the lower class, with no regard for cleanliness. | The rooms rented for 10 cents a night. Louis Rodar, the proprietor, said that he had purchased the house three years ago for $150 and that it contained twen- ty-five rooms. ' Dr. Willlam Merritt is the owner of the building and lot. The structure is a three-story frame build- ing and was built in 1850. During the early days it was regarded as one of the fashionable lodging-houses of the city. e e FIGHT FOR POUNDKEEPER'S PLACE IS NOW IN COURTS Irwin Sues forfInjunction Restraining Supervisors m Approving Suc- s Demands,_ H. O. Irwin, the recently deposed | up his position without a struggle. Yesterday he filed a suit for an in- junction restraining the Board of Su- pervisors from approving the demands of the Society for the Prevention of | Cruelty to Animals, which now has charge of the pound, for the month of February. | He also asks that the court restrain | the Auditor from ‘auditing the demand and that the Treasurer be restrained from cashing them. He bases his suit !on the ground that the charter pro- vides that all demands for more than $200 shall be approved by the Mayor. He claims that for the purpose of evading this provision the society has segregated its demands and will pre- sent several small ones for approval instead of one large one. Irwin lost his position after a bitter fight. He is the Mayor's choice and the soclety is the choice of the Su- pervisors. When the fight for the place commenced the Mayor had the power to appoint, but the board took it out of his hands by passing an or- dinance vesting the appointive power in dtself. —_————————— The News Letter. ®onally conducted pairty!”"—Exchange. gramme, a city of -exquisite pictures. ¢ of each teacher subject to its O Gemanm Sforimon Kearny and Sutter Sts.

The two Chopin numbers included the “big’” polonaise in A flat major. In the sensational octave passage Mr. Bauer achieved a crescendo, after a flying pianissimo, that was simply overwhelming. Picture - making of { the finest, a glittering pageantry of sound, the interpretation left no ideal of the work unsatisfied. One was a little disappointed at the substitution of the Schumann toccata for the Bach D minor, but that was not Mr. Bauer's fault. A printer of eminently proper ideals - programmed the pianist for Bach. Mr. Bauer's close affinity for ognized in the toccato, however: also, verily, in the Novellett and “In der Nacht.” The elegant caprice of the 8aint-Saens Etude en forme de Valse was just as subtly felt, and the thir- teenth Hungarian rhapsody of Lizst, played with a display of virtuoesity, a tone that wonderfully never thinned, found the bottom in its most fiendish passages, closed the programme. Mr. Bauer, madly encored, left us with a little bit of Bach, D major prelude and fugue.
