RELIGIO-SCHOOL
WAR AT'BRANDON
Thirtyfive High School Students Sus.
pended for Refusing to Attend
Chanel Exercises.

BRANDON. March 2-Thirty-fve boys
and girls, students in the Brandon high
school and constituting a majority of the
catholic students in the institution, were
suspended from the school yesterday by
Principal Z. II. Walker because they re-
fused to attend the morning chapel ex-
erclses in the gymnasium of the new school
building or furnish excuses from their
parents or guardians from this part of
the daily school routine This action is
the elimination of trouble in the school
which has finally resolved itself into a
sort of a religious war in this small com
munity and one which, if the affairs does
not come to some sort of an amicable
agreement, will lead into a factional pol
itical fight which will surely crop out al
the June district school meeting.
In the meantime there is every indica
ton that the matter of reading the Bible

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking an Out
let Through Skin Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and mpuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very duets which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain the
body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impuri-
ties which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
j is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clearing the skin of
| pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually makes pimplcs dis
appear; cleanses the blood and is ex-
cellent for the kidneys as well-Adv

ago, that the Brattleboro roads were
poorer than those of surrounding towns,
and said that if Brattleboro wanted
people to come here from other towns
this town should build some roads for
them to come on. He moved a 30-per
cent appropriation, which was voted
although w. L. Walker sought to
amend the motion by making the
amount % per cent.
If taxes are not paid by Oct. | this
year the town will charge interest at
the rate of one-half of one per cent a
month. This was voted under article
l3 on motion of Mr.. Durham, under a
legislative act. Only one person voted
against the motion
The next article was to see if the
town would vote to raise additional
money by special tax or otherwise for
repairing sidewalks, but in view of the
previous vote to raise extra money for
highway and sidewalk purposes it was
voted on motion of s. A. Richmond TO
pass over the article.
r. The principal discussion in the meet
| ing was ON article ID. to see if the town
would vote to pay the village and fire
districts No the actual expense oc-
cured in attending fires outside the
limits of the village and the fire dis
tricts. Several motions and amend
ments We're offered in which there was
a decided sentiment to the effect that
as expressed by Mr.. Austin, if the per
sons outside the village wanted the ben
! efts which village residents enjoy they
should knock at the door and ask to bt
admitted to the village. Mr.. Austir
said that such outside residents had the
remedy in their own hands and that al
they needed to do was to ask to have
the village limits extended Other
participating in the discussion were
Mr.. Gibson, Mr.. Richmond, f. d. Z
Stowe, George r. Wheeler, Mr. Holden
John T. Kaine, Mr. Shipman, Mr. Dun
ham. DR.. Thomas Rice and Elbridge
Knowlton. The result of the discus
sion was an affirmative vote on mo
ton by Mr. Richmond that the villag
commissioners, chief of the village fir
department, and the prudential commit
tee and chief of the West Brattlebor
fire district, No. 2. be constituted

of establishing fire district and to re

t. f. Cray, pastor of the Brandon Cath
Ole church, was in Rutland yesterday
where it is understood he consulted an
attorney with the idea Of obtaining an
injunction prohibiting Principal Walker
from suspending the Catholic students. 1t
is rumored in the town that this will be
made test case for all towns and cities

Principal Walker and Superintendent
NJ. A. Sturtevant are now backed up by
the school directors, while the prime
mover on the side of the Catholic children

has taken counsel with Bishop Rice
The school directors have decided that
it is perfectly proper to have the Bible
read as a part of the school exercises in

guardians of any children, Catholic or
Protestant, do not wish to have their
children participate i'll such exercises may
have them excused, either by written or
verbal notice to the school authorities.

having been prepared and printed by the

Montgomery December s.-(Special)- )- Evidence in the petition of the Alabama waterworks company of Albany-De- catur, was finished before the state public service commission today, and January 10, 1921, was fixed as the day for final hearing on the case which involves the establishment of 'Just and reasonable schedule of rates to be charged by the company for it's service.
 During the morning session the com mission heard NJ. R. Sharp, consulting en- gineer for the company, relative to the equipment of the plant and it's needs, and he was followed by Tinnie T1dwell of Albany and W. W. Callahan of Decatur, who suggested a continuance of the case in order to permit the cities to assemble further data to check the claims Of the company.
 In this connection President Sam Ken nedy offered the service of Engineer T. w Nicol to the cities, free of charge, to assist in this work, and offered the services of an expert accountant to make an audit of the conpany's books, coun- sel for the municipalities agreeing to this and the order for continuing the case for final hearing next month was then entered.
 The commission then called the peti- ton of the American Railway Express e mpany, seeking authority to discontinue express messenger service on Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic trains 2S and 24, between the city of Birmingham and Lineville. The express company was rep resented by E. F. Fell, general agent at Montgomery, and G. F.
