Mr.. Barre Appeals
to State Board.

Mr.. w. W. Barre and others have
appealed from the decision of the
County Board Of Education in the
matter of selecting size for the new
ten thousand dollar school building,
the county board having decided. in
favor Of the school trustees, and the
question will now come up before the
State board. The appeal sets out in
part:
THAT said local trustees, in the
matter of selecting said location, was
contrary to law; due regard not hav-
ing been paid to the site already pro-
cured and owned by the Sal | school
district for school building. And
upon the further ground that said pro-
posed site selected for the new schoo'
building is neither in the centre Il
the territory of said district nor con-
venient to majority of the citizens
living IN said school district, as the
law directs shall be the case -
1t is not known when the question
will be heard by the State be ard, no
date having been fixed as yet.

Drive Away Germs with Gold Dust

The modern surgeon carefully cleanses
hands and instruments before. and after
every operation; he realizes the danger
both to himself and his patient of any
clinging germs.
Germs thrive and multiply wherever
they can find lodging place in grease
and dirt, and where things are scrupu-
lousy clean they find it hard to live.
The easiest and surest way to keep
things clean lies in the use of Gold Dust
washing powder. Gold Dust goes deep
after dirt and routs out every germ
and hidden inpurity. 1t is the sanitary
cleanser.
