HIS SALARY IN COUBT,
Hotel Inspector Ryan May Have
Trouble Getting His Stipend.

''ote' inspector Ryan May Have
Trouble Getting His Stipend.
From Thursdays Daily.
Hotel Inspector j. A. Ryan has been
| i'll office little over three months and
| the best he has been able to get ont of
the job is $294.50. This much he has
collected in fees. His salary under the
law would be 1914.
Inspector Ryan, in his first quarterly
report, says he has visited 2S6 hotels.
ordered fire escapes in four and ropes in
rooms of III. The sanitary features of
the majority he finds to be good.
His expenses for the quarter which
the state must pay, amounts to $46S
1t is probable that Attorney General
+. /. Young will be asked to decide
whether Hotel Inspector J. A. Ryan is
entitled to the full amount of his sal
airy of $1,000 a year in the event that
the fees collected by him during the
year are less than that amount
Mr.. Ryan has been working little
over three months, during which he col
lected $2945O in fees. His salary for
this period under the law would be 1914,
and he says that he has paid in expenses
1868. Thus he claims that the state
owes him $4l75O, the difference between
the fees collected and his salary plus
che expenses.
There is some doubt. however. whetii-
er the hotel inspector is entitled to any
more than the fees he collects The law
provides that he shall retain the fees
collected, unless they amount to more
than his salary and expenses at the rate
of s. day. If the fees are more than
this, he must turn the balance into the
state treasury. The law says nothing
about what shall happen if the fees col
lected are less than his salary and ex-
penses. Moreover the law carries 10
appropriation to pay the difference be-
tween the fees and the salary.

ed out, where it would seem that the
father certainly should be making
enough money to keep his family
without taking any of his children out
of school to make money. Yet there
are quite number of cases, so it was
| thought by some of the members, where
such action is justified. Many men de-
clare that it takes every dollar as fast

necessaries of life.

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can he too careful to Keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weak
ness, or debility. The system needs a
tonic, Graves it, and should not be
denied it and the best tonic of which
we have any knowledge is Hood s
Sarssparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people heal
thy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it he same distinction
as a preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. It's early use has illustrated
the wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hood for appetite, strength and
endurance.

CLARK CASES ARE SETTLED.
Judge Evans Decides in Favor of
First Attaching Creditors.

Judge Walter Evans, in Federal
Court, at Louisville Saturday, over
ruled the exceptions filed by W. c.
Norman, of Glendesne, Wilson &
Co., of Forosville and E. F. Lyons
q Co., of McQuady, to the answer OF
the First State Bank of IrvIntgon,
b. F. Beard q Co., of Hardinsburg,
and others, In the cases against G. M.
Clarke & Co., the poultry swindler
of which alleged company, at Irving
last December, are still remember
ed by the public. Judge Evans also
sustained the answer filed by the First
state Bank, B. F. Beard & Co., Pete
Sherrsn- Bros, & Co., and Joseph
Teaff, of Hsrdlnsburg. The attorneys
for these parties say that this is
decided victory for them.
This ruling of Judge Evans means
that the claims OF W. q. Moormsn
and others, who instituted bankruptcy
proceedings against c. Nj. Clarke &
Co., are thrown out of federal court,
and that the first attaching creditors,
who filed their suits in circuit court,
Will be paid the amounts due them
out of money which was realized by
sale of the stuff Clarke lett behind
him at Irvington.
