BIG TAX LEVY
GOOD BUSINESS
Secretary Ryan of Lake Superior Tai
Association Does Not Object to
:. s....,..-r, .Hibhing,a -Aetion. T..

Secretary P. J. Ryan of the Lake
Superior Tax association, does not
consider the levy of $750,o00 taxes by
the village council of the village of
Hibbing excessive. While the figures
look large, Mr.. Ryan says an analy-
sis of the conditions and the purposes
for which the money is to be used will
dissipate any idea that it is unduly
large.
Mr.. Ryan was in Virginia yesterday
and discussing the levy said. "The
Lake Superior Tax association has no
protest to make over the tax levy of
$500 made by the village council
at Hibbing. An investigation will
prove that all things considered it is
not larger than the levy made last
year. When the present council took
office last spring something like $780,
900 of outstanding orders had been
accumu( lated. Last years levy did
not provide for the construction of a
sewer outlet and ditch made necessary
I by the fact that mine is to be OPEN
led on ground at present traversed by
a part of the village sewer system
"The greater part of the money levi
ed for next year is to be used in TAX
ing up outstanding orders that are
now bearing interest. It was there
fore good business. The Lake Super
ior Tax association is interested in
bringing good business methods to
the expenditure of public funds on
the range. Its intention is to cooper
ate with city and village councils and
with town boards and the future will
demonstrate that it is worthy of the
confidence of the people of the range
and will be a substantial aid to the
ends of economy and increased effici-
ency wherever it's interest is appar-
ent."

that City Stand Part Of Expense
of Physician.

The Independent School District o1
Virginia and the City of Virginia may
cooperate in the matter of hiring q
physician to devote part of his time
to the schools and the remainder tc
the city, doing away with several Of
the inspectorships now paid for by
the city and bringing to the schools
an efficient system of medical exami.
nation.
The matter was broached at the
last meeting Of the school board and
was presented for the consideration
Of the council Tuesday night. The
council appointed a committee to in
vestigate with the school board and
report at future meeting.
The need Of medical inspection at
the city schools has been more appar-
ent than ever since the opening Of
the present term, when a number Of
cases Of contagious disease have de-
veloped and when because Of the fact
that there is no inspection at the
schools there was needless exposure.
The tentative plan proposed and
which is finding much favor is to have
the school physician look after the
city's milk and food supplies inspec-
tion, cooperate with the health de-
partment and devote half his time to
the schools. It is held that all this
work could be done and that by the
city and school board combining a
salary could be paid which would be
sufficient to insure the services of a
first class man.
The matter will be settled within a
short time and if investigation proves
the plan will work satisfactorily there
is small question but that the board
and the city will cooperate.

How to Have tho Hest Cough
Syrup and Save -, b.
Making 1t At Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule, contain =
large quantity OF plain syrup. If you
take one pint Of graduated sugar, add
~ pint OF warm water and stir about
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 2k ounces Of
Pinex 100 cents worthy in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as you
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
keeps perfectly.
And you will find it the best cough
syrup you ever used-ven in whooping
cough. You can feel it take hold-usu-
oily stops the most severe cough In "a
hours. 1t is just laxative enough, has q
good tonic effect, and taste Is pleasant.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
1t is a splendid remedy, too, for
%whooping cough, Group, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
Pinex is the most valuable c~oncentra-
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepare
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used and priced in thousands Of homes
in the United States and Canada. The
plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty Of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will
get it for YOU. If not, send to Ths
