IS THE BOY coMFoRrABLEq

The scientific care of children has
for some time engaged the attention
of parents and all people of benevo-
lent mind. The boy may run wild
in the summer. but when fall begins
needs the utmost care. He should be
kept warm and dry. 1t may seem
wise for him to go barefoot in
the winter to tougher him, but. like
the horse fed on empty barrels, will
die before he gets used to it. Shoes
for the feet are very essential, but
the boy must be kept warm on cheat
and between the shoulders. A friend
of boys is now at 90 Sprague ave-
nue. and while he remains it will be
of advantage for parents to take their
boys from IL to 30 years old to see
him. Why? Because they can get
one of those warm overcoats made
of army cloth for only 81. Only a
few days left to get these coats at
this price. You will pay So else
where.

Public Schools.

Notice was read from the Spokane X
Eastern Trust company at the meeting
of the school board last night to the
effect that the company will no longer
cash school warrants that bear 5 per
cent interest, that they must draw
per cent interest. No action has been
taken on the notice, but it is believed
the terms set down by the trust COM
pany will have to be met.
f. C. Snodgrass, the new purchaser
of the Pine street chapel, now used
for school purposes, sent notice de-
manding an increased rental from SIG
to $50 per month The demand was
turned down on the ground that the
contract called for the SIC rent, and
that Mr. Snodgrass knew Of the exist
ence of the contract before he pur-
chased the property.
Three months extension from No
vember 10 was allowed the contractors
on the new Mckinley building.
A threat was received from the
American League of Independent
Workingmen that they would defeat
the bond issue unless school contracts
were awarded independent of the APP
plicant's utilization with unions. but
the effect of the threat was somewhat
nullifed because it was not received
in time to be considered until after
the election had been held.
