"Dear Sirs: I wa3 so crippled with
neuritis all down left side of my
head and arm and both knees so swol
len that I could hardly get up and
down. At times my feet pained so
badly I thought my toes would break
off. I tried everything. The doctor
told me I would bo no better while
I lived here but I stopped in a drug
store in Brooklyn, N. Y., one day last
November and the man in charge told
me to take Kruschen for 3 weeks
steady and I would get relief which
I did. Never felt better and along
with it, have lost weight. I weighed
210 then. Now I weigh 154 and
while I'm 50 yrs. old I feel 30. I took
it for one thing got two so I now
have 6 others here taking it." Mrs.
A. V. Carr, Ft. Tilden, N. Y.
"It's the little daily dose that does
it" so take a half teaspoonful of
Kruschen in a glass of hot water
every morning before breakfast. Get
Kruschen at F. G. Fricke & Co., or
any live druggist in the world a jar

Mercerville
People Express
School Views
Give Their Side of Question of Main
taining Mercerville School
Coming Year.
We, the patrons of Mercerville
school, wish to advise the public that
we are sending our children to the
Central building under protest.
The board of education' has order
ed the Mercerville school closed, so
it says, for the purpose of economiz
ing which it decided and voted to do
after the termination of the past
school term, and the board discovered
the tax money, which is used to main
tain our schools,, failed to make its
appearance. However,, they issued
contracts to teachers and made plans
to close ur school before the close of
the past term of school.
Before the President of the United
States constituted and put into effect
the National Recovery Act, every
citizen was aware of our present de
pression and acted accordingly and,
even though conditions are being ad
justed for the better, there should
have been steps taken to economize
before the close of our- past school
year, by not eliminating teachers, if
that was considered necessary, but
by eliminating courses of study,
which would be a fairer way of serv
ing our children than depriving them
of a school. In explanation of what
we mean by eliminating courses of
study, we make the following ex
ample: Discontinue kindergarten
work for the present year. Every
true mother would be willing to keep
her child at home until the, age of
six years, if she knew he could take
up first grade work when he entered
school. .3r-
Tho children of Plattsmouth are
just as capable of carrying the first
grade"" work when, they enter school
as our rural children are capable of
doing.
Much has been said about the chil
dren being able to be served in a
more proficient manner by crowding
them into the Central building. This,
we do not feel is true. Our rural
eighth grade graduates are not lack
ing in education due to shorter per
iods of study and more grades. They
pass the required .examinations., in
order to complete', the , eighth grade
and be eligible for entry into high
school. t
We have been told that we are to
blame for the closing of Mercerville
school because we-' have asked for a
reduction in our taxes. We want the
public to know the district served by
Mercerville school, has paid its taxes
amoutning to more than $2,100.00
and this amount is sufficient to main
tain a school since, a good school can
be maintained for ,11,300.00.
- We ask you, isJt fair and just,
that we be deprived of a school and
give the non-property taxpayers the
cream of our schools and we be made
to suffer? The burden of maintain
ing schools rests upon the poor man
for it is he who makes every effort
to pay his taxes and there should be
some kind of tax made upon every
citizen to be used to help maintain
schools, so that every man will have
to support our schools and not the
property owner alone, but until that
time comes the only just way out is
to economize as before stated and not
by closing schools.
It is on record that the Mercer
ville school has served the City of
Plattsmouth for the past fifty-two
(52) years and if there has been a
need of a school for that period of
time, there is still a need. Mercer
ville is serving a rural district with
out city privileges and therefore,
citizens, we feel that we deserve to
be set outside the city limits into a
rural district and bo permitted to
maintain our own school.
In closing, may we say that we
sent our children to the Mercerville
school the past week with the hope
that the board of education would
reconsider its stand and we want the
public to know we did it in a clean
and above-board manner and not be
hind .closed doors, and with the
thought of being law-abiding citi
zens. We invite you to drive to the
homes of the different patrons of the
Mercerville school and walk i dis
tance to ar.d from the Central build
ing and ask you to judge our action.
