HOW TO CLEAR AWAY
THOSE UGLY PiMPLES

It is SO easy to get rid Of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and it
costs SO little, too, that anyone whose
face is disfigured by these pests is
foolish to keep ON with useless cos
metics, or complicated beauty treat
ments." See how simply it is done:
Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash OF with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash
OF cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medica-
ton soothes and cleanses the pores,
leaving the complexion clear and vel
vety. Sold by all druggists, Resinol

SCHOOL REPORT

Since the county treasurer's
books were balanced the last of
December, the taxes collected so
far from the general county
levy of a mills on the assessed
valuation of the county, and a.
mounting to $50, 443. 90 was APP
portioned this week by the
Custer county Superintendent of
Schools, the per capita being
SIS .62 over SIS. 60 per capita for
January of last year: The as
sessed valuation of the county is
higher this year than last year,
since the January apportionment
of the General School Fund last
year amounting to $69, 1876. 90.
The school census shows a de-
cided increase over last year.
This shows that the homestead
ers have not ceased to move into
Custer county, as the census for
September 1912 shows 4G19
children while the September
1913 census shows $3.50 children.
Of The $50, 443.OO apportioned,
$22S9. 16 is set aside for library
purposes.
In March the state apportion-
ment will be made. This ap-
portionment amounted to S4.O(
per capita for 1913. 1t is eXpec.
ted that it viii not be any lowe,
for 1914. A small sum accumu
lates in the county Treasury
from delinquent county take:
and this amount will be appor
toned in March at the time thu
state apportionment is made.
School District No. Is (Ekala
ka) is quoted as having q;
pupils, the total amount appor
to it being 81, ,264.26 Of whicl
$50 goes to the library fund.
