would be many pleasant stopping
places for them yet on the matrimonial
journey, and all present wished that it
might be so.

BILL FOR AID TO RURAL
SCHOOLS IS DEFECTIVE.
MAKING IT INOPERATIVE
The bill passed by the last legis
lature for state aid for consolidated
rural schools teaching home econo
mics, agriculture, vocational and in
dustrial training is rendered ineffect
ive by a bit of legislative carelessness,
it has been discovered.
The measure, introduced by Repre
sentative Elmerlund, fails to provide
for the appropriation in the title, al
though the body of the bill provides
for the appropriation outof the gen
eral fund. The appropriation must be
in the title.
It was regarded as one of the most
important pieces of school legislation
passed during the session. It was
especially-designed for the eastern
part of the state, where the districts
are small and can be more readily
consolidated. It provided for state aid
according to the number of rooms in
the consolidated school. A district
supporting a school with one room
was to receive state aid of $100 a year
for equipment and $150 a year for
maintenance; one with two rooms,
$ir0 for equipment and 200 for
maintenance; one with three rooms,
$1250 for equipment and $300 for
maintenance.
It was estimated that between $49,
000 and $50,000 would be used in this
manner. Governor Morehead has
signed the bill and it will go on the
rtsrute books, despite thf fact that
the appropriation it provides for will
not be available.

nicely. Miss Fearl, who was very
sick last week, has passed the crisis

not been as bad as his sister was.

Lack of Food.
The most tragic lack of food is.
when the stomach either refuses to
accept anybr when, after accepting
some it has to vomit it out again. A
situation like this demands immediate
attention. We wish to recommend
the well known laxative tonic called
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine, which will expel from the body
everything not belonging there, like
waste-matter which poisons the blood
and creates many diseases. It will
also strengthen the digestive organs
and make them able to accept and di
gest enough nutritious food. In dis
eases aggravated by constipation, loss
cf anpetito and weakness, Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine will
give satisfaction. Price 1.00. At
drug stores. Jos. Triner, Manu
facturer, 1333-1339 S. Ashland Ave.,

Stiff neck or stiff back should be
rubbed with Triner's Liniment and
the pain will soon disappear. Very
good in rheumatism and neuralgia.

occasion. As is usual with the mem
bers of this organization, they came
with their fancy work and spent the
time in preparing the many dainty
articles. After several hours spent in
this manner the ladies were served
with a most tempting three-course
luncheon, and the hostess was assisted
in the serving by Mrs. J. C. Peterson
jr., and Miss Myrtle Peterson, in a
most charming manner. The guests
of the club for the afternoon were
Mrs. Clayton Rosencrans and Mrs. R.
M. Shlaes. This club has enjoyed
many very delightful meetings during
the past few months, but none more
o than the one held yesterday after
noon, and everyone present felt deep
ly indebted to their hostess for a most
delightful, time.
