TAX ON GASOLINE TO RAISE FUNDS TO GRANT
 TEACHERS MORE PAY

MISSOULA, Mont, May (by As sociated Press).-A tax of one cent 8 gallon on gasoline sales for automo piles is suggested by Frank Haffie chairman of the board of trustees for the Missoula county high school as a means for raising funds with which to grant salary increases to teachers in the institution, several of whom have resigned, giving inadequate sal aries as the cause.
 "The people who drive automobiles can afford to pay this tax, and, alto gether, it appears to me to be an en. tirely just method of taxation, though, of course, the law to provide for this taxation would have to be passed by the legislature" said Mir. McHaffie. "A tax of this kind would relieve the present burdensome taxation on real estate"

No. CAROLINA NOT IN FAVOR
 0F SUFFRAGE

RALEIGH, N. C., May (by Asso- ciated ess).-Action of the Demo. cratic convention recently in adopting aaplatform plank for ratification of the woman suffrage amendment will be followed by a special session of the legislature about July 1.
 Louisiana is the only state to have a session before North Carolina but suffrage leaders say no matter what action is taken in Louisiana, it will have no effect on the fight for ratifica- tion in North Carolina.
 If Louisiana were to act favorably it would make the thirty-sixth state, but on account of some uncertainty over the ratification in the Ohio legis- Iature, because of @ referendum in- volved, suffrage advocates are anxious to have thirty-seven states ratify the amendment
 Opinion is divided here as to what action the North Carolina legislature will take. In view of the fact that both political organizations in the state have adopted platforms including blanks favoring suffrage, many party leaders believe the amendment will be ratified. Besides Governor Bickett, many Democratic party leaders in the state have come out for the amend ment, including Secretary Daniels, Senator Simmons and Congressman Hoey. The legislature is overwhelm- ingly Democratic.
 Opponents of suffrage believe the amendment will either be defeated in the legislature or by the voters of the state. They think the legislature will follow Senator Overman's idea and propose state constitutional amend ment giving women the vote, thus put ting the suffrage question up to the voters, who, they believe, will re. tecs ft.

AFTER EFFECTS OF.
INFLUENZA TO Be .'
FEARED AS MUCH As
THE DISEASE ITSELF
Iowa Man Tells How He Won Back
His Health and Strength

The toll of human life taken by
Spanish Influenza is enormous, but
not near as appalling as the trail of
suffering it leaves. In the wake of
the disease are strewn a mass of
human wreckage numbering thou
sands, men, women and children,
who will never know well day
after.
Influenza is catarrhal disease.
Due to the putrid poisons and the
foetid, Shiny waste matter with
which it leaves the system clogged,
Influenza is responsible for broken
constitutions and bodies racked and
ravished by almost every chronic
and fatal disease known to doctors.
Influenza is bad, but the results
may be infinitely worse, and it be-
hooves everyone during the period
of convalescence to select with care
the medicine upon which the future
health and life depends.
Mr.. C. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2, Bon
durant, Iowa, did like thousands of
others and placed his dependence on
remedy fifty years old, which he
knew was the most successful treat
meht for catarrhal diseases in the
world. This is what he writes:
"Influenza left me weak and for
two months / could gain no
strength. I bought six bottles of
PE-RU-NA and after taking short
time my weight went up to ITS
pounds, which is the most / ever
weighed. My usual cold weather
weight in the past has been about
155. You are perfectly welcome
to use this letter."
Mr.. Aliens trouble was catarrh
of the nose, throat and bronchial
tubes punctuated by attacks of
asthma. .r d..
1t is good practice to keep Pc
RU-NA in the house. For coughs,
colds, nasal catarrh, catarrh of the
stomach and bowels, it is wonder
fully reliable. 1t is tonic and laxa-
tive in effect.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any
where in either tablet or liquid form.
