Professor Bronson argued that the

sympathy or understanding with the
problems Of the pastors under their su-
pervision. Incidentally Professor Bron-
son flayed one of the members OF the

have stated that the publicity and pop

to Unitarians had injured the Metho-
dist church.

LIKE FINDING MONEY.
Percy l.. Cole Offers Popular Medi-
cine at Half-Price.

Percy L. Cole, the popular drug
gist, is making an offer that is Just
like finding money for he is selling
a regular so cent bottle OF DR.. How
ards celebrated specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia at half
price. In addition to this large dis
count he agrees to return the money
to any purchaser whom the specific
does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to
buy fifty cent pieces for a quarter
but that is what this offer really
means for it is only recently through
the solicitation of Druggist Cole that
this medicine could be bought for
less than fifty cents. Mr.. Cole urged
the proprietors to allow him to sell
it at this reduced price for a little
while, agreeing to sell u certain
amount. The result has justified his
good judgment for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with head
ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, soul
| stomach, specks before the eyes, oi
any liver trouble, should take advan
tage of this opportunity, for DR.
Howard's specific will cure all these
troubles. But If by any chance i
| should not, Percy l.. Cole will return
| your money.

NEW USE FOR THE SCHOOLS
ran is Put Forward to Utilize Some
OF the Sixty Per Cent.
Waste Time.

Inc American school plant Is valued
at more than $1,000, 100000, and as
used for school purposes alone utilizes
but thirty-nine per cent. of the time
which could be given to the needs of
the community. This. according to the
National Magazine. represents a total
loss OF school plants to the country
OF more than 100000 900 every year.
An active movement is now taking
place to turn school property during
the summer months into ch!ldren's
Fairgrounds and places of amusement
ana TO make them the center Of recre.
alton. OF political and social life, the
same as in country places, where they
serve many purposes, oftentimes even
for church services.
Evening schools, free lectures. in.
door sports, folk dances, civic and ed.
ucatlonal meetings and gymnastic eX.
ercises are among the things men
toned for which school plants should
be utilized. 1t is proposed by Some
to have the schoolhouses opened
every day OF the week. Sundays In
cluded, so that the community may
get the greatest possible benefit from
them.
If this movement grows pupils Will
no longer find after vacation n musty
smelling deserted building, but rather
one which has been in use every day
in the year by those who love to give
the public every possible advantage OF
the buildings provided for public pur-
poses.
