The letter states:
"The anti-nepotism law prohibits

management of the school 4n a dis-
trict to one board of trustees, and
Inasmuch as the law becomes ot
fectlve before the beginning of the

Mrtf. Scro^gins Is on the sick list.
There are days of diislnesa;
Spells of headaohe, sldeache, back-
ache;
Sometimes rhsumatic pains;
Often urinary disorders.
All tell you plainly the kldneya
are sick.
Dean's Kidney Pills cure all, kid-
ney ills.
Here Is proof in McKinney.
Mrs. Mary Falres, of C4 South
Chestnut street, McKlnney, Texas,
says: "For thirty-two years I was
an almost constant sufferer from
headache and backache. I tried
nearly every medicine known and
consulted doctors; without obtaining
relief. At times I suffered so much
that I thought I would die. The
pain across the back and kidneys
was so intense at times that I
could ttprdjy catch my breath. When
In bed, It was almost Impossible for
me to turn over and In the morning
when arising, could hardly move. I
also had dizzy spells. Black spots
darted before my eyes and there
was always more or less irregulari-
ty of the kidney secretions. Hearing
about Doan'a Kidney Pills at-Smith
Bros, drug store,'I' got a vox and
began using thepj, thinking they
might do me some good. I was not
disappointed for the first time in
years I . felt relief. I continued us-
ing this remedy with constantly in-
creasing benefit. Doan'a Kidney
Pills have done me more good than
all the doctors and medicine I pre-
viously 'tried and In making this
statement recommending them, I am
telling only half the story. I will
be glad to tell more about my case
to any suffering as I did."

Texas regards the announcement
that whisky can be made of sawdust
as Important, since there are some
106,000,000 tons of sawdust In the
State. We are. merely In doubt as
to which will be most profitable, to
convert the product Into whlBky or
into breakfast food.—Houston Post.
More profitable Into whisky, of
course. Nobody cares how much
breakfast food a man eats, for he re-
mains perfectly harmless. So there's
no temptation for him In the break-
fast food business.
