AFTER SIX YEARS
Wichita Falls Testimony Remains
Unshaken
Time is the beat test of truth.
Here ts a Wichita alls story that
has stood the test of time. It is 1
story with a point which will come
straight home to many of us.
Mrs O. A Swope, 612 Burnett St
wichita Falls, asya: "For the ..Pas!
two years I suffered terribly at time*
fiom my kidneys. The kiduey 5eC;
retions were very unnatural and i
suffered constantiy from weaknen
cross my hack. Hearing about
Doan's Kidney Pilis being • good
for such troubles, I got a bux from
the Wichita Drug House. They quick.
I brought relief Ulin Mhowed that
they were a fine kidney medicine I
f< el mur h beter better now than !
lave for a long time." (Statement
given Tune 16, 1908).
A Later Statement.
On April 3, 1915 Mrs. Swore said:
I nave recommended Doan's Kidnev
Pills on several occasiops and I am
justified in doing ep. as they have
cured me of kidney complaint.
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy but get

gardiy in the expenditure of ahe

teachers from the income
-It will bh necssaryepextyear to
admit no child who- is under the
scholastic age of sevon years. It now
appears. Those who were six year*
i id on or before September first of
the school year hve heretofore been
received. This, is costing, us three
.. , or four teachers and an expenditure
sligt ly larzer of about two thousand dollars. We
the previous receive no money for these unders
er of school from the state, and while it is to be
r regretted that such is necessrx. thev
will in our opinion, have to stay out
0 of the schools next year.
-There are two ways out of the
difficulty. The school term can be
reduced or the taxable values must
be increased. It will not do to cut
the schools below nine months; be-
cause we want to progress and re-
main a school of the first class. On
our tax, rolls the city values are
used for property inside the city and
the county values outside the city.
We can next year prepare a budget
ant make an estimate of whut oT
expenses will be and raise the value
of the property to such an extent as
wiliggive sufficient money to meet
the requirements. No one-wants to
make the assessments higher than
the city and county, but there is
nothing else that can be done, ac-
■< ording- to the present, outlook
"The legislature, ought to submit to
the people of Texas an amendment
to the constitution allowing each dis-
trict to vote upon themselves such
tax as they may-require to run the
schools. The tax fate of fifty cents
in a growing city and eommunity
like ours is insufficient."
