NINE MONTHS
Per Year of Public School in Lou.
lisa Provided for the Future.

The present Board Of Education
has the honor OF providing the first
nine months term OF public rchool
ever given to Louisa children.
At the last meeting of the board
II was decided that the term Of the
Louisa Graded School, which is to
begin about the first of next septem-
ber, shall continue for nine months.
This is made possible by the dis
trict being entirely out CT debt, az
last.
This is one Of the most important
and commendable steps ever taken
by a local educational body. In.
justice to the children of Louisa.
this should have been done manyi
years ago. The poorest child here
may now procure an excellent edu-
cation In the fewest number Of years
possible.
The exceptional advantages pro-
yided for local pupils under the ar
iangement with the Kentucky Nor
NAL College are greater than most of
our people realize. There is not
another town Of this size In the,
State that gives its children so
much good schooling free as will
Louisa from this time forward.
Let's record the names of this
Board Of Education right here, lest
we forget. Rev. H. B. Hewlett, Or
A. w. Bromley, w. N. Sullivan, b.

MONA
RELIEVES STOMACH MISERY AL
MOST IMMEDIATELY.

If the food you ate at your last
meal did not digest, but laid for a
long time like lead on your stom-
ach, then you have indigestion and
must act quickly.
OF course there are many other
symptoms of Indigestion, such as
belching up of sour food, heartburn,
dizziness, shortness of breath and
foul breath, and if you have any of
them, your stomach is out of order
and should be corrected.
Mona tablets have cured thous-
ands of cases of indigestion and
stomach trouble. If you have any
stomach distress, Mi-o-na will re-
lieve instantly.
But Mona unlike most social
ed dyspepsia remedies, does more
than relieve; it permanently cures
dyspepsia or any stomach trouble
by putting energy and strength into
the walls Of the stomach.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets
costs but SC cents at l.. M. Wood

cures. 1t is a producer of flesh
when the body is thin; it cleanses

Jobs for the Girls.

Missouri bachelor writes to Sena-
tor Tom Kinney to pass a bill re-
quiring all girls to learn cooking
and housekeeping, suggesting this
law in answer to Toms threat of
the last term to tax bachelors for
being bachelors. Not a bad idea,
this as to teaching bread-making
and Fredericksburg to the girls
not up on these arts. Practical
tests is right in sight now: Chase
the coOklesS girls right over to
Me5sina to keep" the made-to or
house just shipped by America to
the quake scene. But this might
also furnish more reasons why men
will remain bachelors. 1t might
deplete the State of all the mar
riageable lasseS. However, we
