ID HOLD ELECTION
 FUR BOND ISSUE
S175,000 for Schools and
 Other Improvements Asked
MEETING FO8 MISSIONS
R. E. Lee Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Will Meet Next Monday. City Council Meets Thursday.
 Personal and General.

Ensley, May -(special)-An election will be held Thursday on a bond issue of S175OO0 for public Improvements. s100, GOO of the amount will be expended for public schools. The need of grammar school ia the Fourth ward is apparent from the crowded condition of the Bush school, while the necessity of high school has never been questioned.
 No town in the state has more need of d high school which combines tech nical training with academic studies While there Is at present a temporary business depression it Is no reason why the school system should not be i1g- proved and enlarged. The nature of He industrial conditions of Ensley make such a school imperative as thereby many of the children of the working men can get a practical training in the mechanical arts that would otherwise be denied them. There has been practically no outspoken opposition to the bond issue and the general belief is that it will car ry Some of the largest property holders in the city are heartily in favor of it as 1t means more schools, completion of the sewerage system, more fire protec tion and improvements in the city Jail. These are matters that concern not only the present but the future welfare of Ensey and the impression is that it would be folly to. oppose measure that means so much for the future welfare of the city. Indicatio point to large majority for the bond issue.
 The location of the polling places will be as follows
 First Ward-Pow's store, Avenue F and Seventeenth street.
 Second Ward-C A. Perkins real es- tate office, Avenue F and Nineteenth street.

STRENGTH,

Are Impossible Without Rich, Red
Blood-A Detroit Woman
Expresses an Opinion.

The tonic treatment with DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for run down condi-
tions of the health is based on sound
medical principles and on common
sense. More and more men and
women are beginning to realize that
pure, red blood means health and that
the efficiency of any tissue or organ
is entirely dependent upon the quality
of the blood.
There are thousands of people, who
are without ambition or strength to do
their days work and who are always
tired out, have but little appetite and
a poor digestion, cannot get refresh
ing nights sleep and are subject to
headaches, backaches and nervousness
because their blood is impure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills give quick
relief and permanently cure such men
and women because they purify and
build up the blood to its normal strength
As the blood becomes pure and red 1t
strengthens the muscles, tones up the
nerves makes the stomach capable of
digcsting the food and repairs the
wastes caused by growth and work.

AS she was nearly twenty-four hours
late she made but short stay and the
many Australians, who were en- route

The Alfred liner took on coal, which
was carried from the traveller bunkers
to the Bishop wharf, where it was
transferred to the stoke holes nv means
of cranes forward, while the small
freight aft was being deposited on the
wharf
The Aorangi left the dock in a blaze
of glory produced by the presence of
several hundred Elks who were at the
wharf to bid farewell to Post Grand
Ruler Harry Murray, who goes as dele
gate to Los Angeles. The man who
has the onus of carrying the aloha Of
the Hawaiian Elks ali down the coast
from Vancouver to Los Angeles was
properly laden with leis, and his smile
could be distinguished looming over the
port rail when the good steamer was
well on her way out Of the barber.
