fares than the aggregate of inter-
mediate fares "where such fares ex-
ceed tlie aggregate of the Intermed-
iate fares by reason of miscalcula-
tion of errors" In the preparation of
the tariffs.
The commission also refused to
permit the St. Louis and San Fran-
cisco railroad company to charge

LOCATION OF SCHOOL.
L. C. Chapman Submits a Petition
to the School Board.
The following petition was pre-
sented to not over 75 citizens for
their approval; 69 out of t)he 76
signed and most of the ones who did
not sign say now they think the po-
sition Is well taken.
L. C. CHAPMAN.
To the Honorable Board of Trus-
tee*, Sherman, Texas:
Gentlemen:—We, the undersigned
citizens, tax payers and patrons \oT
the public schools of Sherman, with-
out appearing to dictate, but with all
due respect to your honorable body,
in view of the fact that rumors are
being circulated 4o the effect that
you, are seriously considering locat-
ing the new school building that is
to take the place of .the old Franklin
building west of Post Oak creek,
wish to suggest that w€ think this
would be unwise In the face of the
fact that 304 out of the 375 pupils
enrolled at t/his school this year live
on the east side of said creek and
north of Lamar street and west of
the H. & T. C. railroad track; and
it also shows that it cannot be suc-
cessfully maintained that tills build-
ing is for future growth, as we
have the children, as the rolls show,
to fill this new building as soon as
it is completed. It will cost tlie town
indirectly as much to buy the lot
west of the creek after adding, the
cost of sewerage and highways as
to buy a lot already conveniently
located and the Inconvenience to
such a large proportion of the pu-
pils and teachers being away from
street cars, paved streets and side-
walks, etc., to way nothing of the
general benefit of a (26,060.00
building being located in our midst
in view of other public grounds, etc.,
and would at the same time, we
think, lie agreeable to at least half
of the pupils coming from Fairview
and Gray's Hill. It is, and always
has been, anticipated that those who
live iti tlie outskirts should come to
town, bust it ought not to be neces-
sary for those in town to be obliged
to go out for conveniences.

Thres-Fourths are Women
Careful observers among the medi-
cal profession estimate that of those
who seek the services of a physician
three-fourths are women.
Many of ithe women are without
question in need of surgical treat-
ment, but perhaps the majority of
them will be greatly benefitted by
medical treatment only.
In the course of treating such ail-
ments, physicians have demonstrat-
ed beyond question the value of cer-
tain drugs in their treatment and,
following the formula uttetl by a phy-
sician espftcialiy successful in such
cases, .Rexall Vegetable Compound
has been placed upon tlie market.
Many women have learned by ex-
perience that their aliments were of
such a nature that they themselves
might administer satisfactory treat-
ment. While we do not recommend
such a procedure, but strongly ad-
vise that you consult with your phy-
sician, we cannot, speak too highly
of the value of Rexall Vegetable
(mmpound for use in such rases.
Please remember that Rexall
Vegetable Compound can be obtain-

TO OUR .CUSTOMERS:
With the return of JUNE we are reminded
of the responsibility that rests upon ns in the
matter of rendering you a competent and reliable
service. In this regard, experience has taught
us that without the co*operatlon of our customer*
we cannot hope to accomplish the best results.
We believe that when you thoroughly understand
our relations to the trade and the conditions un-
der which we are laboring you will appreciate the
sincerity of our request for your co-operation.
We want to assure vou of our appreciation
of your patronage, and in justice to you as wwfl
as ourselves, we ask that you not hesitate to
notify us of any discourtesy or inattention on the
part of our employees. The men employed by us
to deliver our product are under strict discipline,
and much depends upon their deportment ■ which
Is carefully recorded by a merit system.
You should hare FULL WEIGHT at all
times; this we insist upon. There is absolutely
no reason why you should not have what you pay
,for. and this company will positively not tolerate
unscrupulous practices on the part of lts« employ-
ees. (4ur wagon salesmen are given a reasonable
allowance to cover any loss tliat may be experienc-
ed by “nieltage,” which Is dene only to enable
them to give their customers FULL WEIGHT.
Kindly itcar in mind that our drivers art
busy, or shnnld lie, trying to make schedule time;
and to facilitate their work we lieg of you not to
delay them any longer than it is necessary while
serving you.
If the wagon should miss you, please don’t
wait until the late hours to notify the Office, for
MTe cannot promise deliveries after 10 o'clock in
the morning or after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
A great many |*eople, without, analyzing the
situation, think a phone call for Ice should be
met with reasonable promptness. If we slionltl
have twenty calls for ice, which we often do, in
widely separate parts of town,, It will l>e readily
seen that promptness is Impossible. Besides such
lack of method would disorganize onr salesmen
and multiply the confusion for us and our cus-
tomers. . in view of this, we aye compelled td
cover tlte town in a systematic way, ami It. would
be unreasonable to call off our drivers to make
special deUvcrles.
We do not. mean that we are going to be In-
different to your demands or Ignore your special
orders. We ace going to give bur liest. attention
to all this, but jour service will lie poor if you
fail to take your ice from the wagon on the regu-
lar trip. If you take Ice every day. your house
should never lie missed. If you take Ice Irregu-
larly you should post, the driver as to your wants.
If It is an afternoon delivery you desire. It is then
best to phone youn order t» the office.
