Our Inadequate school Fund.

The State appropriations ITO the pub
lie schools has been cut down years
after year till it has reached point
that threatens to seriously cripple
their usefulness.
A deficient school fund leads to ia
short school year, consequently the
children forget during the vacation
much of what they learned during the
session. Hence little progress can be
made.
Again it leads ITO smaller salaries
and therefore to a less efficient body
of teachers.
Public sentiment should be prepared
Ito come ITO the relief of THE schools
and the work should be done as early
las possible. A business like way ot
doing this is to first decide just what
each and all the schools require and
then to ask for that sum. That is tc
say first ascertain by actual calcula-
tion just what is am adequate sum, and
then to call upon the Legislature tc
appropriate that sum.
Tt is not business to ask for amy
given increase without first calculalt-
ing Just what that sum would accom-
plish.
To set apart to each teacher in the
State three dollars for every ONE dol.
lar raised by taxation would be a steT

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
