SCHOOL ELE ECTI0NS COMING
Trustees to be Chosen April 20, and
Special Levies Fixed.

0I~SAsAA
Elections of trustees are to be
held in all the country school
districts Of the county next Mon
day, April 20, as provided by the
school law. Besides the election
of trustees. the fixing of the special
school tax levies are to be consid
cred in districts where special
taxes are deemed necessary.
On Wednesday, County Super
intendent r. G. Egbers informed
the TRIBUNE that the county COM
missioners had decided at their
meeting, April IA, to fix the gener-
al school levy at rate equivalent
to $I6. so per capita of school pop
ulation. Mr.. Egbers stated that
in addition to this the amount re-
ceived from the state will approx
mate 81. SO per capita, making a
total of $I9 for every child oi
school age in the county. This
information should be carefully
considered by the voters in all the
districts next Monday, as it is ol
value in determining whether a
special levy is needed in any dis
trict. II the. voters id any district
figure that sig for each child in
their district is sufficient to defray
the expenses Of the ensuing school
year no special levy need be inade
in such district. If, on the other
hand, the voters find that greater
sum than $Io per child is needed,
they may vote special levy, based
on the valuation Of the district,
sufficient to make up the d florence
between $I9 and the amount
needed.

The poll tax has probably caus d

mills and contractors deduct the tax
from the wages Of their employees who
had been In their service two weeks

Washington, d. C.-Tariff legisla-
tion and currency reform found their
way along the congressional track,
and chalked up punctually on time.
There has been unusual speed thus
far 10 the proposed repeal OF Panama
tolls. The house OF representatives
made its usual record In dlsposing Of
the administration measure. The
most Significant feature of the situa-
tion is the poll of the senate by q
Washington newspaper, resulting 10
the disclosure that more than q
majority of that body has openly de.
clared itself In favor Of the position
taken by the president. Therefore,
should the opposition convert the
dozen or more members In the
s.i0ubtful" class, the president can
still win his big fight with about
half q dozen votes to spare.
In the earlier days Of the Mckinley
administration Henry G. Payne Of
Wisconsin, acting chairman Of the
republican national committee, made
q vigorous fght against the excessive
representation OF the south in re-
publican national conventions. Payne
was effectually muzzled by party
leaders. Since the national conven-
tion 10 1912. this issue has been a
live one, and now Chairman Hilles
has asked the states to ratify the
action OF the national committee 10
reducing southern representation by
eighty-nine votes. 1t Is declared
that the new basis proposed for the
election Of delegates assures the
states having the greatest number Of
republican voters larger proportion
Of voting strength in the supreme
council OF the party, thus resulting
10 the election Of delegates who will
truly voice the sentiments Of the
majority. Mr.. Hilles has put the
problem squarely up to his party,
and 1t remains to be seen what will
be done. N

HOW TO AVOID
DOCTOR BILLS
(Health Notes.


Practically all sickness can be
traced to impurities in the blood which
accumulate during the winter months.
IL old and young alike would follow
the old-time policy of taking a good
blood-tonic each spring, there would
be much less fever and sickness and,
as a result, big saving of doctor
bills.
The best blood-purifying tonic
known can be made at home at little
expense, by dissolving in Il pint alco-
hol, II cup sugar and one ounce kar-
dene. then adding hot water to make
a quart. This makes enough for a
whole family and tablespoonful TAX

FRENCH BEAUTIES
ALL SLENDER

In Paris (the city OF the worlds
most beautiful women) the first thing
the tourist notes when studying the
beautiful native women is the absence
of plumpness or flesh. They are al
ways slender and graceful and so ac-
tive and attractive. Their nervous,
emotional temperament of course af-
fects somewhat their physique, but
most of them keep up a continual
fight against increase OF weight. One
OF the many good fat preventives and
cures is easily made at home by mix
ing ounces parnotis (all good drug
gists carry this) with X pints hot
water. When cool strain and take i
before meals until
weight is just where you want II. This
Is a safe, harmless method OF fat-re-
duction and does not depend on diet
ing or unusual exercising. The par
lotic treatment is gentle in action and
restores the symmetrical lines TO the
