NoN-PARTIsAN SCHOOLS

The leaders of the so-called Ameri-

the board of education ought to be q
partisan institution at the service of
the managers of american" party
politics. That proposition was made at
the last school election, but the voters
then, by their votes. declared against
ii, aud we hope public sentiment will
be even stronger this year in opposi-
ton to such ii plan The schools ought
TO be carefully guarded against the de-
signs of selfish scheniers.
we know Of no reason why the entire
board should not be kept AS it is, pro
vded those whose terms expire are
willing to accept denomination. The
hoard is composed of one professor, five
business men and four lawyers. AS to
politics five are classed as Democrats
and five as Republicans. But the chief
point is that 1t is efficient and has done
excellent service. The schools of tho
city are in as good shape as those OF
any city in the United States. There is
no good reason for Il change.
We hope the voters who are inter-
ested in q non-partisan board will turn
out to the ponpartisan conventions
ana then go and vote and bring others
out to vote. The very idea of captur-
ing the schools for partisan purposes
should be revolving to all falr-nlinded
citizens.

question, and growing more and more
so. whether this system is adequate
for even the present needs of that part

supposed to be dead and who was re-

urday evening, when he raped at the

puted to have been killed, and were
wondering why their relatives at Belle
Plaine had not notified them of the
fact, when the young man himself
called at the Hanchett home. The sur
prise was one that excited Mrs. Han
chett for several minutes, and she
could hardly believe her eyes.
1t seems now that the report had
its foundation in the fact that Gus
Hanchett himself wrote the letter
from Belle PLANE announcing that he

These are the results of indigestion:
The undigested food grows hard, and 1rr7tates
the stomach lining 1t causes indammation-per-
haps liberation. That is the source OF the pain
And that is why occasional indigestion often
leads to chronic dyspepsia.
Undigested food ferments and forms gas. That
dstends the stomach causing symptoms often
called heart trouble
Undigested food decays and breeds germs. The
germs create poisons and the food ducts OF the
bowels suck those posons into the blood. That
leads to blood mpurity, and all Its results Often

Then food that fails to digest is wasted. and
the body is robbed of its nourishment In these
ways scores of serious troubles are due solely to
indigestion.
The remedy is to relieve the stomach To let
Kodo for little time, do its work for 1t.
TOnics and stimulants only spur the stomach TO
