Reference TO the records of the health
department shows that during the first
six months OF 1893, l6S patients suffered
from the disease, while for the same

ture OF the increase Is shown by a com
parisOn OF the record Of cases reported
during the months OF March. April

months OF the present year. During
April OF 1905, twenty-four cases were re-
ported as against thirty-six this year.

The voters of this school district
will on Tuesday next have the chance
to pass on the plans of the Board OF
Education for a new school building
The opportunity brings with II
a responsibility which every voter
should conscentiously discharge.
The board is intimately acquainted
with the situation and its recon-
mendations should receive due con-
sideration. 1t is made up largely
Of, heavy tax payers, and it is safe
to assume it would not recommend
anything not deemed for the best
interest Of the schools. Our public
school system is our grestest
national pride. Through it the
child of wealth or poverty is equally
equipped for the battle of life. 1t
constitutes the surest guarantee OF
both individual and national well
fare. Every voter owes it to him
self and the district to turn out and
register his or her opinion, and let
it be on the right side, and the Ad-
vance believes that is in favor of
the Boards proposition.
