In response to communication from In
ternal Revenue Collector Jacob f. Houtz OF
the Omaha district, Commissioner Wilson
has ruled that grain tickets may be cashed
by regular employees OF the company issu-
ing the same without liability to the stamp
tax. The question was brought by the dep
utes Of Collector Houtz in North and South
Dakota, who advised him that the grain
companies in the DalSotas having head
quarters In Minnesota insist on issuing
grain tickets and having them cashed by
merchants and others TO whom they pay
nominal sum for their services, such
tickets being unstamped. The commissioner
holds that neither merchants nor bankers
can be considered as regular employees OF
grain companies. Collector Houtz Is di-
Iected to obtain from companies engaged
in the practice referred to a statement OF
the number of unstamped grain tickets
which they had cashed by merchants
other than regular employees and report
the same for assessment to the internal
revenue commissioner here.

FOR WELL PEOPLE.
An Easy Way TO Keen We'll

1t is easy to keep well If we would only
observe each day few simple rules Of
health
The all important thing Is to keep the
stomach right. and to do this 1t is not neces-
sary to diet or to follow set rule or bill Of
fare. Such pampering simply makes ca
PRECIOUS appetite and feeling that certain
favorite articles of food must be avoided
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject he says: II am 6S years
old and have never had a serious Illness
and at the same time my life has been
largely an indoor one, but early discovered
that the way to keep healthy was to keep
healthy stomach. not by eating bran crack
ers or dieting OF any Sort on the contrary
always eat what my appetite Graves but
for the last eight years | have made IL a
daily practice to take one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal, and | at
tribute my robust health for man of my
age to the regular daily use of Stuart's Tab
lets.
My physician first advised me to use them
because he said they were perfectly harm
less and were not a secret patent medicine,
but contained only the natural dlgestives,
peptones and diastase and after using them
few weeks have never ceased to thank
him for his advice.
| honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and aiing and pre-
serves health TO the well and strong"
Men and women past fifty years OF age
need a safe digestive after meals TO insure a
perfect digestion and to ward off disease,
and the safest, best known and most widely
used is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
They are found in every well regulated

Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.

Hoard of Control REPORTS Adversely
ON Jones County Insane Asylum
-Criticised by Ex-GoV.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec 9.-CSpecial Tele-
gram.)-George d. Mccain Of the warheld-
Pratt-Howell company has been appointed
receiver OF the T. a. Ingram stock at Mt
Ayr. lnjunctions have been issued re-
straining Ingram or the persons to whom he
turned over the stores at Shannon City and
AIendale from disposing OF the stock In
functions were also served on the persons
to whom real estate was decided Mccain
qualified receiver by filing a S25, 900 bond
with the clerk Of the United States circuit
court and United states marshals served
the injunctions at Mt. Ayr.
The creditors are making a hard fight to
have the property transfers set aside They
have applied to the United States district
court to have Ingram declared bankrupt
and trustee directed to take charge not
only of the property at Mr.. Ayr, but of that
which was transferred. Ingram filed a
waiver consonting to be adjudicated bank
rupt, provided the trustees to whom he first
turned over the stock be left in charge. The
creditors will not consent to the condition,
but are endeavorlng to have all the prop
erty placed in the hands of a bankruptcy
trustee.
II this is done creditors will receive about
so cents on the dollar, otherwise 1t will not
exceed 25 cents.
This seems to be one of the worst fail
ures OF the year in Iowa.
The State Board of Control today made
report on the asylum in Jones county,
located ten miles from Anamosa and visited
by Ex-Governor Larrabee. The same charges
of lack Of proper buildings and equipments,
inadequate care and other poor conditions
are set forth though perhaps not so strongly
as In ether such reports which have pre-
viously been made. Governor Larrabee says
there are no cases of abuse reported from
this institution. but the live stock Kept on
the county farm looks in much better con-
dition than the inmates of the institution.
One OF the worst features seems to be
pest house n short distance from the main
building. which the reports says has ac-
commodations not so good as those furnished
ordinary farmers pigs. Three men were
in this house when Governor Larrabee
visited 1t.
1t appears reasonable to conclude from de-
velopments today that the appointment OF
successor to Federal Judge Woolson will not
be made until after the holidays. The salary
is 81, 900 a year and the appointment is for
life, retirement on salary at the age OF 40
being a condition. 1t has been conceded
that Senator Gear will have something to
say concerning the appointment He is said
TO favor Judge Horace NJ. Towner of Adams
