BONDS ARE INSUFFICIENT,
Not Enough Funds Provided to Build
Schools in Franklin County,


Special, to Times Republican,.
Hampton. Aug. 15.-Close observers
sof the school situation in Morgan
township. in this county, had feared
that the nine new school houses could
not be built for the amount of bonds
voted, $4,000, and that is just the sit
uation the board now faces.
When the bids were opened it was
found that $15,9S7 was the lowest and
best price rendered by H. o. Hanson,
OF Dows. and this was accepted. This
does not include the heating plants,
which are to cost $3.50 each and will
be Installed by Bows hardware firm.
This will increase the cost to s17,427,
or $3,427 more than the amount of
bonds. to say nothing Of furnishings
and incidentals. It is declared that
very little can be derived from the
sale OF the old buildings.
An analysis Of the situation in that
community. according to the best
sources. reveals that a very large ma
jority of the farms are occupied by
tenants, and that they seemed to care
little for the matter Of better schools
they are there this year-gone next.
Even the school board is said to be
hopelessly divided as to the situation.

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
BE MODERATE IN YOUR DIET AND
REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT. TAKE
OIL OF koRElN.


Lack Of fresh air it is said weakens
the oxygen carrying power Of the blood,
the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu-
lates and the action of many of the
vital organs are hindered thereby. The
heart action becomes weak, work is an
effort, and the beauty Of the figure is
destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and II nature is not assisted in
throwing it off serious case of obesity
may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too ctout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become joke and your health ruined
through carrying around a burden Of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air: breathe deeply,
and get from Mcbride & Will or any
druggist box Of oil Of korein cap
sules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is abso-
lutely harmless, Is pleasant to take,
helps the digestion and even a few
days treatment has been reported to
show noticeable reduction In weight.
