SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER FLAYS ‘CHURCH' BOOK Vonnegut Sees Effort to ‘Parochialize’ in Library Offer. Veiled inferences that, attempts were being made to “parochialize the public schools'’ were made by Theodore F. Vonnegut at the school board meeting Monday night during discussion of purchase of Master Library system sets for various buildings. Request that sets of books, or parts of sets, be purchased for thirty-four schools was made by Superintendent Charles F. Miller, who admitted about $2,000 already had been spent for the books in other schools. “It is an outrage for the schools to spend $197.50 per set for these books." Vonnegut said. “It has all the earmarks of a grab on the part of the publisher. On the basis of the average cost of such books, these sets would cost only SIOO with the agent getting a decent commission. "Most of the content is not copyrighted It can t be copyrighted for it is taken from the Bible. Much of the subject matter is highly contaroverslable. “I will not vote to parochialize the public schools for any sect whatsoever.’* No one mentioned any particular Church. When Mrs. Lillian V. Sedwick moved that Miller's recommendation be. approved, President Charles W. Kem said; “These books have caused considerable comment in various school district* much of it unfavorable, and if there is the slightest foundation for the. charges, I do not want to be connected in any way with their purchase.” Vonnegut charged school principles were led to approve the expensive sets of books by a letter of approval from the superintendent. A number of Parent-Teacher Asfcociations have purchased sets of the books. It was said. Kern also criticised the report of H- F. Osier, assistant buildings and grounds superintendent, showing demotion of several employes, and change of five old employes from monthly to an hourly basis. Kem inferred the latter w-ere placed on an hourly basis by Ogden so they could be discharged ■without reporting to the board. “The thing of removing old employes to make places for men who have been in employ of the school city less than ninety days is going to cause the morale of all employes to slump,’’ Kern said The board refused permission to the police and firemen's circus, to sell through public schools.

FREE FROM NEURITIS AND KIDNEY PAINS Suffered Six Years Before Finding Way to End Trouble Quickly. Neuritis is bad enough, but. George L. Petit, 515 E. Ash St.. Freeport, 111., had plenty of other troubles in addition. Today all his pains are gone. His letter states"l had severe kidney trouble for fix years. My back was so lame and sore I was in constant agony. I had frequent attacks of splitting head-aches, and was so constipated I had to take laxatives all the time. Finally, neuritis came on, with all its intense pain, especially in my left arm and between my shoulders, and I was in such misery I was ready to despair. One day I read where Viuna had relieved a case like mine. I am glad to say it did the same for me. First, it gave prompt relief from the sharp, stabbing pains of neuritis, and soon I was almost free from them. A little later, my kidneys righted themselves, the back-ache and headache disappeared, and I am feeling fine in every way. My constipation was relieved, and I am eating heartily, sleeping soundly, and gaining back my lost weight. The change has come so promptly that it seems almost too good to be true. I only wish I had known of Viuna years ago.” Viuna has worked wonders in thousands of desperate cases of kidney trouble, back-ache, stomach trouble and rheumatism. It may be the making of you.

SOUTH LOSES IN PATRONAGE Squabbles Cause Hoover to Turn Toward East. , Bu (ierippg-Howard >’ewepcpcr Alliance WASHINGTON. May 15.—The Hooverized south is about to lose a major federal appointment because of squabbles between southern delegations as to who shall be given the ! place. The fight revolves about the commissioner of internal revenue, an office made vacant by the resignation of David H. Blair. Kentucky, which has tried in vain to get a woman cabinet member, an appointment m the “baby” cabinet of assistant department heads, and to other important posts, has laid Robert H. Lucas, internal revenue collector at Louisville, was put forward as the applicant. When | dissension broke out in Kentucky Walter H. Newton, Hoover’s patronage secretary, became impatient. North Carolina started after the commissionership. Thomas Harkins, United States attorney at Asheville, applied for the post, and gained the support of ; the Hoover organization there. Now it is reliably reported that neither Lucas nor Hawkins will get the appointment and that it will go to the east.

Consequently in erecting their new $3,000 Bluff Service Station at the intersection they have set. back the building line.

May 15.—Accused of poisoning her husband, Mrs. Eva Brandon Rablen. 30-year-old “mailorder bride,” will go to trial here Friday for murder. Mrs. Rablen became acquainted with Carroll B. Rablen, 34-year-old war veteran, through a matrimonial agency. They corresponded over a period of several months and finally decided to get married, a year and a half ago. The state accuses Mrs. Rablen of giving her husband poison in a cup of coffee she served him at a dance two weeks ago. alleging she sought his death in order to collect his life insurance. The defense probably will declare Rablen committed suicide, arguing that he frequently had threatened to do so. suffering despondency because of a deafness which resulted from a wound during the World war. Tuesday, at Mrs. Rablen's preliminary hearing, only three witnesses were called by the state. Walter Ronten, drug store clerk, testified he sold poison to a “Mrs. Joe Williams,” and identified Mrs. Rablen as the woman who purchased the drug. Dr. Edward Bronley testified he found traces of poison in the cup from which Rablen drank shortly before his death. He also declared his cup was carried to Rablen by Mrs. Rablen at a dance. Mrs. Jessie Terzig. coroner, testified that poison was found in the lining of Rablen’s stomach. DRIVER SENT TO PRISON Sentenced to Sixty Days for Motoring While Drunk.
