There appeared recently in one OF
the organs Of the liquor trade an
eloquent editorial on "How to Con
troll the Sale of Liquor"
Were it not SO grave and pltlful
it would be 1aughable to note the
self deluSion of those who ate the
champions of error. Their serious
comments regarding honesty are, in
fact, fine illustrations of the humor-
Gus, albeit not made SO Intentional
1y, and rendered so only by the diff
ference of standpoint between the
whisky champion who speaks and
the temperance advocate who reads.
The paragraph in question begins
with a statement to the effect that
since the dawn of time the genera
tions of the human family have been
busy with the problem of how to
control the sale of liquor; the writer
cites the dispensary law, total pro-
hibition and high license saying
that they are all failures. He then
goes on to say: "The United States
government is aiding and abetting
frauds by receiving certain fees and
then blindfolding itself to the deg
radiation of goods and permitting
them to be branded by any name
that suits the wishes of those who
thrive and prosper through the
adoption of musical and high
sounding titles, thus christening
whistles that only exist in the
minds eye of the inventor of the
designation. The rhythmic sonor-
BUSINESS of the name adds much to
the price and nothing to the value.
Uncle Sam is practically the receiv-
er of stolen moneys under this sys-
TEN. Why does he not demand that
nothing that he has branded shall
be sold except branded SO as to ex-
press the TRUTH" Is there any
word in the English language made
TO mean so much and SO little as
that monosyllab1e TRUTH" The
friends of the 'mocker" are at war
among themselves because they de-
ceive each other and the trade about
the purity" and value" Of the de-
ceiver! They offer to drive every
fakir out of the business and assist
the government, for it seems to re-
quire aid, in purifying the trade. "
There is nothing the temperance
hosts would welcome more than a
move on the part of government to
demand that nothing he has han
died shall be sold except branded
so as to express the truth" What

4 Weak
Stomach

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
KodOl, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing Of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.

supposed to have left the city, as he has
not been seen or heard of since Monday
morning, when he failed to report for duty.

time to make any statement, 1t is said his
shortage amounts to over $500. Cannon Is
said to have lost the money. at the gambling
tables.
Monday morning, before leaving, ostensl-
bly, fo- his work, Cannon handed his wife
$50 and that is the last, she said yester-
day, she had seen or heard of him.. 1t Ia
said that Cannon learned that his books

loaned Cannon $50, secured a writ OF at
tachment and levied on a typewriter.

months, at the instigation Of the Council
Bluffs authorities. His arrest was made
on a charge of embezElement filed in the
court of Justice Bryant by George H. Still

to Chicago Monday and succeeded In locat-
ing him and causing his arrest. Word from
! Chief of Police O'Neill OF Chicago received

tached all the property he had here, which
proved to be far less than had been ex-
pected. Attachments were secured against

part Of which,, 1t is claimed, has been

commissioner decided to stand on their
rights II they have any, as the records
show that the survey of the park made by
the county surveyor included the portion
now claimed by the county as being part
Of the Huntington lot. Residents In the
vicinity Of Big Lake fled a complaint to
the effect that a person to whom a por-
tion of Big Lake park had been leased had
fenced in not only part Of the park, but
also a roadway which they had been in
the habit OF using for many years. The
complaint will be investigated.
