The Hume schools closed Friday
with appropriate exercises. Manv
visitors and patrons of the school

ed that this has been the most pros

of retaining the present teachers is
almost universal. Our school this
year demonstrates the wisdom of
paying good salaries to good teach
ers rather than throw away money
upon poor teachers, let some old
moss backs complain that teachers
are too well paid. Why don't the
fool killer come around this way.

How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let n siana iweniy-iour
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble,
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.

so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's

reverses and these, together with
family troubles, preyed on his mind,
and it is thought caused Ltm to om
mit the terrible act.
