THE PRIMARY SCHOOL MONEY.
State supt. Wright Tells why the May
Apportionment is 50 Small.

Iu answer to recent query con
corning the reason why the primary
school fund apportionment for May
was smaller than that of last Novem.
ber, state superintendent OF public
instruction L. L. Wright says:
During the year 1906 the regular
taxes paid by the railroads amount
ed to- about s3,OOO,OOO. The back
taxes due amounted TO about &c, ,000,-
600, and during the year 1906, $9,-
500, ,0n0 were apportioned.
"The law requires railroads and
other corporations to pay their taxes
to the auditor general between Feb
ruary and the middle OF May, and all
are paid usually on or before May /,
as after that time there is penalty
for non-payment.
"The auditor general is required
to determine the amount of primary
school interest on the first day OF
April, and OF course at that time the
great majority of these taxes have
not been paid in. 1t is for this rea-
son that the apportionment in May
is usually small while that in the
succeeding November is larger. +"
Although the apportionment just
made amounted to but one dollar
per capita per the number Of children
in the state of school age, the in
crease in collection OF railroad taxes
between now and November will
greatly increase the primary fund.
1t is expected that the next appor-
tionment, that of November, will
amount to three or four dollars per
capita.

No one is in better position to know

Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes: II used to drink
strong coffee myself, and suffered
greatly from headaches and indiges-
ton. While on visit to my brothers
I had a good chance to try Postum
Food Coffee, for they drank it alto
gether in place of ordinary coffee. In
two weeks after using Postum 1 found
I was much benefited and finally my
headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
Il observed a curious fact about
Postum when used among mothers. 1t
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry it up,
and where tea causes nervousness.
81 find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most
always serve 1t before it has been
boiled long enough. 1t should be boiled

1t was a monkey dinner.
A monkey dinner consists of hap
py mixture of society and monkey
with just trif1e more society than
monkey to give it the proper flavor.
The idea of the monkey dinner orig
mated in a fertile spot in the south
eastern part of Vanwigglevandooz s
brain, which up to then was supposed
to be extinct. The eruption of such
a gigantic idea from brain supposed
to be extinct, came as a great but
pleasant shock to society.
Originally it was Vanwigglevan-

proprietor by the name of Giuseppi,
who is summering at Newport, came
to the rescue with a real monkey by
the name of Claude
Claude had acted for many years
as a second-story man for Guiseppi,
and is one of the very best ice-cut-
ters in the whole monkey business
A full-dress suit is made for Claude,
and when he entered society you
could tell at once that he was not a
waiter.
Claude was placed at the head of
the table, and as he sat there smiling
at his friends it made one of the
sweetest pictures of family content
ment l have ever witnessed.
There were no set speeches.
Neutrality-suspicious. gave Claude a
glass of champagne, which the guest
of honor politely refused by splitting
it down the neck of Harry Pif1e-
mind, in such an artless monkey
way that the other guests roared with
delight.
With monkey signs Claude gave the
signal to rush the GROWER, which was
accomplished with a true spirit of
good fellowship by the butler.
