He had not seen Flemister since the

This being the status Of the
matter, it now becomes impera-
tive for the County Superintend-
ents and the Board of Trusts es
of the normal School At Greeley
to make immediate provisions
for holding a six weeks summer
normal school in order that all
prospective applicants for GER
tificates at tbs coming Aug. ex-
animation may be provided the
necessary six weeks normal
training.
Normal Institutes are now be
ing held in the various districts
as now constituted throughout
the Stats, and in accordance
with the provisions of the pres
snt law. In this connection it is
imperative that at least two
weeks school should be held, and
the expenses incident thereto
paid from the present normal
school fund, prior to Aug. 4th
next: and in those districts
where the fund will allow it, l
would suggest that as much
longer a term be held as this
limited time and the present
fund will warrant. "a
The new law provides tkat \
registration fee shall be collect
ed from each person attending
tho summer normal school; that
the executive committee shall
certify the names of such at
tendants to the county commits
sioners, and they, in turn, shall
appropriate two dollars for each
such person; and that these foes
together with those collected for
the examination of teachers, and
ali special appropriations for the
support of such school-in this
instance amounting to IS, 1000
shall constitute the Summer
Normal School Fund" to be used
in dsfraying the expense Of
such normal schools.

HONEST MEDICINE VERSUS

President Taft's recent message sug-
gesting an amendment to tho Pure Food
and Drug law in its relation to prepar-
ed Medicines does not refer to such
standard medicines as Foley's Honey
andrTar Compound and Foley Kidney
Pills both of which are true medicines
carefully compounded of ingredients
whose medicinal qualities are recognized
by the medical profession itself as the

they are intended to counteract. For
over three decades Feley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been a standard
remedy for coughs colds and objections
of the throat, chest and lungs fer chill
