high school has doubled in the pas
. ten years nd the Increased total en

of the schools.
The increase from ten per cent of the total enrollment in the grade i schools twenty-five years ago to over ! 20 per cent of the enrollment at the
'.present time in the high school, neces
sitates the new junior high school. More pupils are entering the high school each year.

STORE NEWS
LEFT-OVER MEDICINES should not be taken again. They are prescribed for certain sets of symptoms, which may never occur but once. The safest thing to do with surplus medicine is to congratulate yourself on your recovery, and pour the remainder down the drain pipe. Why? Because medicines that are all right and harmless in proper dosage when freshly compounded may contain drugs most unstable in character. Certain ingredients may be "thrown out of
solution" if left too long, and there
fore contain enough poison to become dangerous. This, of course, does not apply to external aDDlica-
tions, or to antiseptic solutions, or; to any stable preparation although i even these are infinitely more efficacious when freshly made. Phone 1904.
