was that they, the managers, advised
him not to enter. "You can come on,"
they said; "but it will be only money
wasted, as there are enough men en

feet wide and with a dozen or more

Knapp, secured from Judge Albright,
a prellmnary injunction forbidding the
issuing of the bonds, und a rule to show
cause why the district should not be
permanently restrained from increasing
the Indebtedness, ns proposed, said rule
la Ing returnable Jan. 4, ut 9 a. in.
Nov. 11 last, William Repp und John
Cook, president and secretary lvupect
lely, of the Old Forge school board, In
accordance with the legal requirements,
filed with the clerk of the courts a state
ment of the district's financial stand
ing. This statement showed that at the
close of the school year ending June
1, 1NU. the school district was not in
debted In nny sum whatever, but hud
a surplus; that Hie assessable property
of the district was $772,i:iO; that the
amount of dabt about to be Incurred
for the new high school building is
$15,000, the form of the obligation being
thirty bonds of the denomination of
$."00 ench, and that the unnunl tux to be
levied for the payment of the indebt
edness is eight per cent, of the debt.
In Its petition for the Injunction the
conipuny avers that the proposed bond

following section of the act of June
13, ltt4:
Section 1 Be It enacted etc,. That
whilst proceedings are pending In uny

shall not be lawful for the school direc
tors of the township or district proposed

assess, or collect uny tax whatever for tlie
purchase of ground or for school building

necessary to rebuild a school house, acci
dentally Injured or destroyed or to pay a
building debt previously incurred.
There are now before court proceed
ings for the division of Old Forge
township, by erecting the borough of
Pyne from portions of Old Forge and

pany argues, would bring Old Forge

and J. F. Snyder as sureties.

GET FLESH.
(let Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion and
tiood Digest loa. Not by Patent JTedlcine,
but In Nature's Own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get Increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength und vigor of mind and
body, und that Is through the stomach by
wholesome food well digested. Then Is
no reason or common sense in any other
method whatever. ,
People are thin, run down, nervou, pale
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep
sia, but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food or what they eat is not
cpilekly und properly digested us It should
be.
Dr. Huliandson says the reason is be
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, und deficient secre
tion of enstric juice,
Nature'sVemedy in such cases Is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. Tlvre
ore several good preparations which will
do this, but none so readily as Stuart's
Dyspepslu Tablets, which are designed es
pecially for all stomach troubles, and
which cure all digestive weakness oa the
common sense plan of furnishing the di
gestive principles which the stomach
lucks.
Stuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect !s to Increase the
appetite and Increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood, und strength of nerve un I
muscle Is the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's DysH-p.a Tablets is the saf
est tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
50 cents for full sized package or direct
by mall from Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
