At the close of Mrs. McFarland's pa

Mrs. Johnston thinks that the state

needs. Her first move as a member of
the school board was the establish

The Rate For the Teachers.

Western lines have not yet reached
any unanimous agreement upon rates
for the National Educational aSsocia-
TONS meeting at Los Angeles in July,
and the eastern roads have conse-

for the gathering. The trouble is over
the arbitraries to be added to the ordi-

circulars naming a rate of $3.50 extra

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of

vincing proof that the kidneys and
