SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.

of this remedy, and when the cough.

60 to sleep perfectly free from cough
and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise Is putting 1t very
mildly. I had no Idea that 1t would
or could knock out the grip, SIM
ply because I had never tried 1t for
such purpose, but 1t did, and 1t
seemed with the second attack Of
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe. and

Garland pleaded guilty, but stated

He said he bought the formaldehyde

Karl's Clover Root Tea corrects the Stomach

Ill recently the only calls On the fund
were from the general fund which
borrows from it through the issuance
of state bonds bearing interest at the
rate of 31a per cent, and small
school districts which were willing
to pay per cent. interest on their
bonds. The state until the new
law passed could not buy any but
state bonds unless they drew at
least per cent. This accounts for
the accumulation in the permanent
school fund While the opportunities
to invest at the lower rate are more
plentiful than heretofore, it is not
anticipated that the fund can be loan
| ed in any where near its entirety
without the purchasing Of some such
large issues as that offered by Seattle
The financial condition of the city
has been thoroughly gone into, and

Young Benson attended the Dallas

with rock upon the bottom OF the
creek, inflicting a mere scalp wound.
He came home, but was afraid TO
tell his parents about the accident I'M
til, in a few days, his head began to
swell, and a doctor was called in. The
physician dressed the scalp wound at
the time, and did not think it was OF
a serious nature.
The swelling continued however
and the pain in proportion. until now

TO BUY SEATTLE BONDS,
Largest investment Ever Made Out
Of School Fund.

Olympia, Wash.-The preliminary
steps nave been taken toward pur-
CHASING out CT the permanent school
fund the largest issue OF bonds ever
offered to the state in one lump. The
Issue is the one recently voted by Sc
aItle in the sum Of $500. 900 for the
equipment OF municipal lighting
plant. The amount exceeds the entire
amount, now invested by the state
in county, municipal and school dis
trict bonds.
The action so far taken is that of
decision 20 make the city an offer
for the bonds. Representatives of Sc
attic have been before the board of
state land commissioners on several
occasions recently to present the
matter in all its phases. While the
board has control of the investment
of the permanent school fund the de
cision to invest so large an amount
was not arrived at without consulting
Governor Mcbride and State TreaSur
er Maynard.
The city Of Seattle in voting the is
SUE voted bonds at not exceeding 4
per cent. interest per annum. The
rate OF interest being so small it is
conceded that the state is practically
the only investor in a position to
make the purchase. The state since
the new law went into effect on June
II, is enabled to purchase bonds
bearing interest as low as ga per
cent.
There is now uninvested in the
permanent school fund nearly 500, 900
and the amount is increasing at the
rate of about $500 per month. I'm
