Present Liquor Law Constitutional.

Chief Judge John w. Rowell has hand
ed down an important decision in the
Caledonia county liquor case OF State VS..
Z. Constantine, for furnishing liquor con-
trary to law, which was before the SUI
preme court on demurrer.
Section 6S OF the liquor law provides
that person who sells intoxicating
liquors without a license shall be fined
not less than $500 or imprisoned not less
than three or more than II months. or
both, in the discretion of the court, The
respondent claimed that this section was
unconstitutional because it provided mo
maximum penalty and fixed the minimum
penalty so high that the court could not
use its discretion in the matter.
The court held that the matter of
fines being fixed according to the offense
was question that the legislature might
settle as well as court. Ii also held that
the minimum fine was not excessive. that
the failure to provide a maximum penalty
was unimportant, and that the law was
constitutional. Pro forma judgment was
adverse TO the respondent and cause was
remanded.

And Still Be Agreeable, Attractive and Popular
A Certain Cure in Reach Of All.
There is nothing that will put you TO the front
SO rapidly in the business social world as a
cheerful disposition and pleasant appearance
Other things being equal people will go out Of
their way to give the fellow a lift who always
wears a cheerful countenance. The man or NO
with cranky disposition and a sour face
will always meet with ind tferent if not chilly
reception. The commercial traveller, who is the
recognized business barometer appreciates better
than any one the value Of this rule and governs
his actions accordingly.
Dyspepsia destroys all the agreeable qualities
that enter into a man woman's makeup. 1t IS
almost a human impcssbity for any with a
severe case of dyspepsia to look pleasant. The
continuous, miserable east down feeling is bound
TO make itself shown in the appearance and con-
versation
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the sufferers
certain cure. They are recognized all over the
world. The cures they have Brought about and
the happiness they have caused and the suffering
they have relieved have made their name house
lold word in all the Eng.ish-speaking weld
The reason that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
a certain cure is that they are u natural cure
There is nothing to prevent them curing. They
contain the essential ingredients Of the digestive
fluids of the stomach and simply do the identical
work of the stomach, relieving that weakened
organ and permitting it to rest and recuperate
Could anything be more simple or natural? They
are bound to cure. They cannot help themselves
1t Is just like putting new stomach into a man
t. that were pessible-aEd letting the old one go
of on a vacation. Rest Is what it needs Nature
will do her own work Of restoration never fear.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all
druggists at 90 cts box. All druggists means
all druggists. They have become necessary
to the people that the druggist simply has 10 keep
them anyway. There other remedies that
he can make much money II he could
sell them but he can't. He will not take chances
on losing bis customers by not always having on
hand supply of STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets.

Superannuated Employees.

Cen. Ainsworth declared it is probable
that the civil service law has operated to
some extent. to increase the NUMBER Oh
superanruated employees in the civil es-
Enlistment, because prior to the enact
rent of that law the pressure for place
was so great and the changes were so fire.
uuent that, with some exceptions, the Old
er. and less valuable employees were crowd
ed out.
Unless there should be established a re-
tirement system, Gen. AinsWorth declared,
he saw no practicable way of dealing with
the problem of approximation in service
He doubted the success of a plan for an
assessment fund among the employees. 1t
would tend to protests and to friction, and
to demands for government contributions
Il do not mean to say, he continued,
that it would be impossible to devise
plan by which inefficient employees can be
eliminated from the public service. l could
easily outline such plan but 1t would be
so drastic that do not believe there is any
possibility of its being adopted, and / am
convinced that if it were adopted it would
soon be modified by subsequent orders into
condition of 'innocuous desuetude. In short,
/ do not believe that it is possible to secure
the adoption of any regulation which will
permanently prevent the retention of en-
ployes in the civil service beyond the period
of their usefulness. So long as the human
heart is open to appeals, and so long as Of
fetal action is liable to be swayed by politi-
cal or personal influences, cases of this
kind will surely continue to arise, no matter
whether the controlling decision witiSregard
to them is lodged with the civil service COM
mission or elsewhere
Waiting for Better Chances.
In closing Gen. Ainsworth said: Il be-
lieve that comparatively few of the young
men now entering the civil service do SO
with the definite intention of remaining
therein permanently, but that mos of them
accept their appointments with the more or
less clearly defined purpose of relinquishing
them as soon they shall have been adj
nlitted to the practice of a profession or
shall have secured satisfactory employment
in private business
Tie committee will have further hear
ing upon the civil service question next
Tuesday morning.
