The following afternoon he made his
way to the little cottage which Mar

her hair by the hedge. She thanked
him rather distantly for the return of
her property, and then began to talk of

She looked at him for a moment and
then said: "WeH, it is a woman's
privilege to change her mind" Then
she hastily changed the conversation
to other matters that concerned the
world which they had left behind.
The days slipped by, and the sum

both vaguely felt that parting would

was to be shown for the first time.
While the polite chorus of Obs and

out in the conservatory where Edgar

exhibited, there was another scene for

The Greatest Boon To Suf-
fering Women.

Lack of strength nervousness and
sexual weakness that are the bane of
so many women's lives are almost in
variably corrected by the use of
Planters Benedicta.
Mrs. Mary Walden, of Sanford,
Fla. n a letter dated April 5, 1919,
tells how this wonderful medicine
brought back her health an1 strength
after doctors and several other medi-
cines had failed to BE of help.
Mrs. Walden states that she had
suffered for years with irregularities
and pains. After telling of her long
search for something that would bring
her relief, Mrs. Walden says: 81 fin
ally got hold of bottle of Planters
Benedicta and it did me more good
than all the doctors medicine I have
ever taken"
Hundreds and hundreds of other
women who suffered in like manner
have written of the wonderful way in
which they have had their oId-time
strength and vigor brought back by
Planters Benedicta-the purely vege-
able medicine.

$23O,OOO FOR SCHOOLS
DECLARED TOO SMALL
$5oo,ooo Needed, Says CARRIER
Pointing Out That Realty
Taxes Support Education

John r. CARRIER. superintendent of
schools. in commenting upon the award
of $3.50 900 for school repairs made by
the property committee of the Board
Of Education today said, eve ought to
have more than double that amount. :"
"I recommended that S500,O00 be
given for the much needed repairs.
However. we'll have to do the most
we can with the small amount we've
got. We can Mt least keep the schools
sanitary and improve some of the imme =
diate needs of the buildings.
Under the newly revised law we
arc allowed seven mills for 1920 and eight
mills beginning with 1921. IL the eight
had been allowed for 1920. we might
have been able to obtain $500, 900.
Later on, we'll have to borrow some
money-we have that privilege for ten e
tative improvements-to tide us over.
Unfortunately, real estate is made
to bear virtually the entire expense OF
our schools. I have been urging that
the state share the burden to greater
degree. And this year we were awarded
hy the state about SO 900, 900 more than
in previous years, $1s,000,o00 for two
years for improvements and $4,000,
600 for two years to devote toward
teachers salaries.

has already been inaugurated at City
Hall and IL is expected that at today's

bills will be considered. Most Of the
councilmen are too busy counting their
chances of re election under any charter
changes that may be passed at Harris
burg to give much throught to ward or

John Fl. Bailey is head, will take up
the question of cost Of the various &C -
tivities being planned for the celebra
ton Of Independence Day this year.
School officials have been invited to at e
tend the session to lend their aid in
planning for parade of high school
students. This parade, with demon

pected to be the feature of the morning
before the usual exercises at Inde =
