problem OF procuring funds for the aool-

the Hillside school
g The board has considered the matter from
all standpoints and the question remains
how the money for the needed expenses
is to be procured Several theories have
suggested themselves TO the members OF
the board, but of them all. perhaps, new
issue OF bonds 10 the extent OF $4,000 would
solve the problem quickest The board, II
is understood, is loath to begin the ne"
year with a debt which has been accruing
for several years and which, unless X De
satisfied. will continue to be a milestone
around any economic policy OF running the
schools. That the issue OF bonds would
be the best way out of the difficulty is the
opinion of many who have studied the
question. but as yet the board has not
announced its decision and the bond propo-
sition is only tentative.
Corrfgan school. which is located In q

crowded. An additional building Is Inn
perative for the comfort and convenience
Of the school children. Hillside school,
while the building is completed, is far
from being ready for occupancy, because Of
the lack OF furniture and other finishinss
The Industrial institute upon which the
school authorities have built high hopes
is in need of financial support and the
kindergarten system must have further
means for proper growth and development.
If the board struggles along with only
the present resources OF the school district
the old debt must sun remain, and
with interest and other incidentals there
will be an accretion to the burden that
already exists. Altogether the board claims
that II is up against a good hard PROPOSE

REELECTION FOR NEARLY ALL

Columbus, o., Jan. 25.-When
official announcement was made in
to-day's convention of the United
Mine Workers Of the defeat of Pres
ident T. L. Lewis for reelection,
Lewis declared he would go back to
the manual labor of the mines, and
would not sell to mine owners the
knowledge and experience gained
through his long official connection
with the miners organization.
All the old officers, save Lewis,
were reelected. The newly elected
President is John P. White, of Osk-
aloosa, Iowa.
White was elected by a majority
of 26,743 votes. Lewis received 72,-
100 votes.
President Lewis, in the conven-
ton. said he hoped to be delegate
TO the next convention. He was ac-
corded rousing ovation when he
arose, and it was many minutes be-
fore the mall could be quieted. He
said:
81 appreciate your reception. 1t
has been my life aim to see all the
miners of the American continent
united in one body. and I hope may
sec a realization of my hopes, and |

because | have been defeated l will
not sell my knowledge Of the union
TO friends or representatives of the
class which we are fighting for hv-
ing wages and hours.
when l retire from official posi-
ton in the organization 1t will be
with the knowledge that the mine
workers are being paid the highest
rate of wages ever paid to them In
the history of the mining industry.
ut is a matter in which l take
personal pride of saying that the or
ganization has a larger membership
at present than at any time since IT
was organized 81 years ago.
Those who understand the dan
gers surrounding the occupation OF
the miner raaIiza that our fellow
workers are not receiving the wages
TO which they are entitled. The
mine workers should never be salts
fed until they have established a
higher standard Of wages and an
eight-hour day in every mine on the

A HOME TREATMENT FOR
LUNG TROUBLE.

1t is a recognized fact that fresh
air, plenty of nourishing food and a
correct constitutional treatment
have done more to cure lung trouble
and that weakened, rundown feel
ing, than all other forms Of treat
ment combined.
A constitutional treatment, to
meet all the necessary requirements,
must not only kill and remove all
the disease germs from the system,
but at the same time it must in
crease the appetite, aid in digestion
and assimilation of food, renovate
and build up the nervous system and
all parts of the body.
Germinal Remedy meets all these
requirements and is producing some
marvellous results.

form, blood disease; If you are

sores, coughs, pains in the chest; If
you have weak lungs and feel gen.
