catioual committee, | with other
members of the committee, intro.
duced and passed bill known as
the elementary school bill and this
bill was based on scolastic population
or number of children attending
school.
As member of the committee
knew that larger families were rear
ed in the country and thus the idea
to improve the country schools and
give them the money with which to
run their term longer was conceived;
we did this by levying a tax over
the whole state. knowing that the
cities had two thirds of the wealth.
Under this system each county
Of my district gets many thousand
more dollars from the state than
they actually pay in to the state
treasury. Under this system the
amount that is paid in by each
county and received in return from
the state are as follows: for the year
from July 1, 1921 to June 20, 1922.

 For I've always said.s to achieve real beauty we must have ever before us an ideal toward which to strive.
 Today. however, I'm going to talk for the benefit of the woman who is toe thin for real beauty, and who wants to gain because she realizes the charm ot lovely, rounded curves.
 If you're an abnormally thin person, ten to one ycu have always been one Of those very active personalities who are never quiet or restful.

Do You Need More Weight
 To Enhance Your Beauty?

having this Untiring energy, but you have it, don't forget to save yourself Remember that too constant top speed is dangerous
 Then, too don't worry. Simply refuse to, and you'll be surprised what luck yOu'u have making every would-be mountain mole-hill.
 Your food, of course, is very import ant. might make a general statement to the effect that you may eat freely all the luscious foods that are denied the woman who is reducing. And who of us hasn't read of the articles of food the plump sister shouldn't eat?' Who hasn't seen her bravely pass up chocolate cream or a helping of creaned potatoes?
 Starch and sugar are what you need in order to take flesh, and there are so many delicious foods that supply plenty of these clements. If you are thin you should have all the bread and butter you want. and all kinds of thick nutritious soup, while fat beef and nut ton are particularly good for you Po- tatoes of all kinds are also desira bls from candied sweets to French fried and Creamed-
 In the line of desserts you have all kinds of pie. cake and ice cream from which to choose. If you have never cared much for sweets. and have passed up just these things, that's undoubtedly Q reason for your thinness- They're reai- Iy delicious, and if you sample them a few times you're bound to like them. Then. too, don't forget to drink plenty of rich milk It's very good for you, and a good time to take it is before you go to bed at night A glass between meals is also helpful. and doesn't take away your appetite.
 When you take a warm bath at night here is an excellent preparation to rub into your skin afterward:
 Olive oil. gin

 Rub this oil well into your skin and dust your body lightly with powder afIerward if the smell of the lotion an- nOys you Otherwise omit the powder.

An additional session of the Board Of education may be necessary be- fore the New rear to complete the work on the budget for 1923-1924 Assistant Secretary John B. Wynkoop said today. The budget will be taken up at the boards meeting next Tues day and if it is no1 completed bS that time a special meeting may be held Friday.
 At the present time this Is thought possible because Of the great amount of work yet left to do on the budget The matter of resembling the S1,3OO,- 900 school bond issue will not be dis cussed by the board officially, though board mem bers may discuss il infor- nally.
