TIE schools of this city are strained
to their utmost capacity and as the
town is rapidly growing next year
they will be more crowded than here
tofore. A separate high school build
ing is an institution that is growing
want and this fact is being recognized
by many. Some have spoken of en-
larging the north side school and con-
tlnuing the high and grammar schools
together. We protest against such a
plan. There should be a seperate
building for the high school contain
ing recitation rooms, laboratories and a
chapel. Mexico is large enough for
this and the entertainments given by
the students merit an auditorium.
The older boys who are now thrown
with the lads In the primary depart
ment may enjoy their recreation per-
iod without fear OF injuring any Of the
younger children. One influence the
younger grades receive from assOciat-
ing with the higher are in many in
stances very poor and tend to corrupt
the young mind. Many more reasons
could be advanced In favor Of separ-
alton II we could devote the space.
Our schools are recognized asthe best
In the State. Separate them and they
will be hard to equal nationally.

other articles Of immediate necessity,

neither bread nor milk could be bought

Mr.. Blair said: Here is the city

When the country wanted to prohibit

What has come to pass in thousands Of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, weakliug in comparison to modern
man, was able to conquer the huge mon-
sters of thousands Of years ago, such as
the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and fly have
never been conquered It Is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito and fly, so that they will
60 to join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies of man because they spread
coutagion. The mosquito often carries the
germ of malaria with his bite. The house.
fly spreads germs Of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, fnd place in our blood,
and then We suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption, or malaria.
DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says: uThere
would be no grip epidemics, the germs Of
consumption, or malaria would find no
place in the human economy, if the blood
were pure, If the lungs, heart and other
organs were fed on good blood. Poisons
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; to be safe it is best to take a gentle
laxative at least once a week. Such
vegetable laxative as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as
tissue-builder aud tonic for those weakened
BY coughs, colds. catanh, grip, nothing will
build one up quicker than DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Is a med
icine made entirely of roots and herbs,
without the use OF alcohol.

LOUISIANA, Mo-, Marca 0, 1865
Dear Sir: Your letter addressed to
the Secretary Carnegie Libraryn was
handed me few days ago by our
Librarian, and ! wish to apologize for
not answering 1t sooner and plead In
extenuation absence from the city.
Your congratulations gratefully ap-
preciated and glad to learn that Mex
leo Is interested In the matter OF a
library.
Any city as large as Mexico or
Louisiana that does not avaial them
selves Of present opportunities for
securing credltable libraries will sooner
or later regret, having let the chance
go by.
We will gladly assist you in any way
In our power.
If your citizens want library land
they should want it) you can get one
very easily.
II you will write to tIr. r. A.
Franks, president Of the Home Trust
Co., Hoboken, N. j., be will advise
you the quickest way to secure Mr.
Carnegies donation for library build
ing in your city, or If you prefer write
Mr.. Carnegie direct, hts address is No.
s West 5lst St New York. We wrote
Mr.. Carnegie direct but all our sub
correspondence was with Mr..
Franks, who is Mr.. Carnegies mana
ger In the business OF supplying money
to construct library buildings.
Securing Mr.. Carnegies $4,000 was
our easiest task, there was no red tape
or iron clad contracts or agreements
or unreasonable exactions, guarantees,
and conditions as the general public
seems to think.
He asks, and is right In so doing,
that resolutions be adopted by the
City Council promising to properly
the Public Library when
opened and has set 10 per cent of cost
Of building as proper annual amount
for maintenance of a public library.
II Mexico wants a $4,000 building
you can get the building by assuring
TO furnish proper site, and the city
to spend $1,000 ser year on
this library for all purposes, Librarians,
ianitor, books, magazines, newspapers,
painting light, heat, water and ex-
penses Of every description.
Start your agitation for a public
library and we will gladly give you the
benefit of our experience on every
phase of the subject, write US at any
time. Yours Truly,
