IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN
THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
A Review of Events of the Past Few Days
Ten Millions For Schools.

st. Paul, April 16.-The Minnesota
House of representatives has voted to
appropriate total of $9,736,S23 for
educational institutions and state aid
for schools for the ensuing two years.
The total does not include an appro-
priation of $1,074,000 already appro-
priated to make up the deficit in school
aid.
The bill, as passed, carries one of
the largest appropriations ever made
for educational purposes in the state
OF Minnesota. While all requests for
building at the state university and
most of the normal schools were cut,
there is so much aid for graded
schools included that the bill carries
the enormous total, heretofore unheard
Of
The House bill carries an appro-
priation of $5,590,693 as aid for high,
graded, semi-graded, consolidated, in
dustrial and rural schools. Charges
have been made that the school aid
has developed into pork barrel pro-
position. Many schools throughout
the state gets state aid even though
the local tax levy for schools amounts
to much less than mills.
An appropriation of $3,026,950 for
the State university is made in the
House measure. All requests for
buildings, with minor exceptions, were
disallowed.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
neves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
