the apportionment of the state school
tax does not meet with favor among the
taxpayers of this countv. While this
feature of tbe present statute is objec
tiionable, the citizens of this county do
not demand that action be tAken on thia

preferring that matters of general legisla-1

der the law as recently amended, the
state school tax is apportioned aiuonir
the several districts of each county on a

settled districts, and it is from this
inaitiie principal objection to the law
in its present form exists. Under the
law that has been repealed each district

breed and feed disease. It cures
scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils,
pimples and other eruptions that
mar and scar the skin. Pure blood
is essential to good health. The
weak, run-down, debilitated con

the blood of impurities, but it in
