We believe that a rule has been es
tablished by the County School Com
lnissioners of the three counties of the
State not to change existing boundary
lines of the districts, unless it would
be for the better welfare of the schools,
and this will meet the general ap-
proyal of the people generally. Under
the old way of making changes by leg
islative enactment, there was a con-
slant shifting of district lines, which
was caused by a desire on the part of
some dissatisfied taxpayer who, for the
purpose Of lesseHing his obligation to
the schools, would have his property set
over into another district where the
rate was less. Under the present law
the changes have been few, and the
duties of the better class of taxpapers
are receiving more attention, and as
result the schools are benefited there
by. It is a mistake for changes to be
made every time there is a disagree
ment between taxables.

SENATOR FOREAKER,O of Ohio is urg-
.ng the passage OF bill which will
reduce the tariff on imports into the
Philippines and other insular possess
sions of the United States. In an in
terview Senator FOreaker is reported
as follows:
"Why should the Republican party be
afraid to discuss the tariff at any time? If
there is any policy of legislation with which
the Republican party is identified and iden-
titled, too, to:the satisfaction the American
people, if election returns can be taken as an
indication, it is the tariff.
Let them talk tariff ifthey want to. What
have we to be concerned about? We admit
that some schedules in the Dingley tariff act
framed in 1897 may not be altogether salts
factory for the conditions OF 1904; but we
shall use our own discretion as to the time
and method of changing them, and take the
responsibility before the country for prevent
ing the unsettling of Industrial and trade con-
ditiOns.
believe there ought to be free trade with
the Philippines as there is with Porto Rico,
believe the Senate will at least pass a bill
reducing the rate of tariff on the products OF
the Philippine Islands entering this cOun-
try" He adds his belief that such a bill will
be passed this winter.
The Republican party has no reason
to hesitate to take up the tariff as an
issue. 1t has won its greatest victories
under that penant and should not hesi-
tate in its discussion at any time, or to
make any revision that the party may
deem othe best interest of the country.

Quickly EIevates the constitutional
Condition of all Rundown and
Sick People.

In the winter season, when many peo-
pie, especially women and children, are
confined in close and stuffy apartments
which lack proper ventilating facilities,
the blood becomes watery, pale slug
glish, and impure; the nervous system
is impaired, the brain is tired, insomnia
begins its terrible work, and general
collapse of the whole system ensues.
Our object at this time is to suggest
the true means of succor and help for
pale. languid, nervous, irritable. and
weakened women and children. Thous-
ands of such nerveless and frail victims
will soon be cut down if help is delayed
and time lost.
Paine's Celery Compound is the life
line--the sure and tried anchor of hope
that all may lay hold of with a certain
| ty of new life and vigorous health.
Paine's Celery Compound is doing the
same Heaven blessed work today for
sufferers that it has 80 well done in the
past. 1t quickly furnishes that new,
pure and fresh blood which is the founda-
ton Of true health; it promotes CELL
gro With. builds up flesh, bone. and tissue,
and elevates the constitutional condition
of every sick person, and defends them
from germ and bacterial dangers. Try
Paine's Celery Compound, dear reader,
and your efforts will be fully and hap
PLY rewarded.
