the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,

What we need is the rich cod liver oil

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to clear away all pimples, black heads
and skin eruptions and that makes the

Any druggist can supply you with zemo,

PARENTS OPPOSE
SCHOOL Change
Johnson, Powell and Taylor
School Associations Are
Against Plan.
WILL PETITION CONGRESS
Fear Recommendation of Commis-
sioners Would Inject Poll
ties Infs Schools,

Two more parents organizations, the
Parent-Teachers' Association of the
Johnson Powell Schools. and the Mothers
Cub of the Taylor school, recorded their
oisapprovsl of the Recommendation OF
the Commissioners for a REORGANIZATION
Of the local school system last week. The
action Of these organizations are expect
ed to carry more weight in Congress,
since their membership represents those
who would be directly affected by the
proposed plan of the Commissioners.
At meeting of the Taylor School or
ganization Thursday night, this resolu-
ton was adopted Unanimously:
Resolved, That the Mothers Club
OF the Taylor School protests against
the proposed legislation for the pub
lie schools Of the District. which
takes from the representative citizens
of the District every yestige of par
ticipation In the schools in which their
children are educated.
THAT the Mothers Club approves
the present act. which places the ap-
pointment Of the Board Of Education
In the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia, thus removing the
schools from all political Influences.
. HASopiNSu luiAiSEt copy OF
this resolution be sent TO the North
east Washington Citizens Association
with the request that their influence
be used to prevent the proposed legis-
iation, and that copies also be sent to
the Congressional committees to
whom the legislation is referred"
The yohnson-Powell organization passed
the, following resolution:
Resolved. That the Parent-Teach~
ers Association of the Johnson-Powell
Schools Is opposed to the proposed
legislation submitted to Congress by
the Commissioners, recommending
radical changes IN the administration
of our public schools. The members
of this association and the citizens of
the District of Columbia in general
have looked with favor upon the pres
ent operation of our schools by a rep
resentative board of education COM
posed of bonafide citizens of this Dis
trict. board having full authority
and responsibility IN the management
of our schools. Any proposed legisla-
ton reducing the powers of the board
and placing the control OF our schools
with the Commissioners Is looked
upon with disfavor by this associa-
ton.
Resolved further. that copies OF
this resolution be sent to the four
newspapers OF the city and to those
committees of the House and of the
Senate that are concerned in this leg
islation."
