1t was not planned for high school use,
and is not adapted TO modern high school
work. For present needs il is too small

IS no room for them. For botany. zooi-
oSy, photography. chemistry. physics and
a laboratory room is especially needed
There are no rooms for manual training

Sembly room as well as other rooms are
required and are missing from the pres
ent building
As to the cost of the new building. the
proposed bond issue of $4,000 to run TWEEN

CRIMINAL CODE BILL.
Senate Knocks Out Provision Re-
garding Mailing of Liquor.

Washington. Feb. 13.-The liquor ques-
ton was injected into the consideration OF
the criminal code bill in the senate today
when Senator Clay of Georgia attacked a
provision of the bill which. he declared
changed existing law to the extent of per
hitting the mailing of liquor into prohibit
ton states or counties. This was brought
about by the leaving the prohibition tot
that practice out of the law as revised
by the code.
Liquor houses" said Senator Clay ''are
relying upon this change to enhance their
business
Mr.. Clay wished to know whether the
commission to revise the code or the joint
committee OF congress for the same pur-
pose had left that provision out of the
code, and Mr.. Hepburn, in charge of the
bill said the committee had taken that
part of the code from the commission
without change.
On motion Of Senator Carter the old
law was substituted for the revised sec
tions with a penal clause added.

THE BLUES"
A Lady Finds Help From Simple
Food.

Civilization brings blessings and also
responsibilities.
The more highly organized we be-
come the more need there is for regu-
larity and natural simplicity in the

carefully obeyed, and the finer, more
highly developed brain and nervous
system not hampered by complicated,
unwholesome dietary.

from dyspepsia. I confess that an i'm
properly regulated diet was the chief
cause of my suffering. Finally, moth
ing that I ate seemed to agree with
my stomach, and life, at times, did not
seem worth living.

of everything and see life through dark
blue glass, so to speak. My head be-
came affected with a heavy creeping
sensation and I feared paralysis.

to fear that I might die suddenly Two

little less than miraculous. In a short
time the palpitation, bad feeling in
