COMMON SENSE STILL ALIVE
Reason viii Play Part in County Officers
Salary Case, Says Power.
SLABAueH IS NOT THE ONLY LAWYER
Sheriff Has Legal Advice which As
sures Him Intent of Legislature
VIII Count for as Much
as Freak Action.

While II is understood that the county
attorney has filed with the chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners an
opinion favorable TO the idea that the last
legislature cut the salaries of the sheriff,
treasurer and clerk of Douglas county, the
opinion has not set been before the board
officially.
1t is regarded certainty that IL any
action is taken the commissioners will
make the first move. The law, which is al
legged to have the effect of chopping 1000
off the county clerk and sheriff, has been
in effect since April 1. All the time since
then these officers have been drawing SAL
AIRY at the old rate and will continue to do
unless a court order prevents.
Sheriff Power presented his notion of the
matter by saying:
There are other attorneys besides the
county attorney. Hin opinion goes for what
II is worth. but the courts will be given a
chance to construe the statute in question
In the light of common sense and legisla-
tive intent"
Sheriff Power also expressed himself as
differing with the generally accepted no
ton that the Board Of County Commission
ers in its move to cut the cost of feeding
the prisoners at the county Jail acted
legally. He gave the impression that he has
legal advice on the question which satisfies
him that the rate cannot be cut below what
81 IL at present unless the statute govern
sng the rate is amended.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
"A Nee VACATION
Don't Do 1t BY Starving II Either
Let a Substitute DO The Work.

The old adage, "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" applies just as
we'll to the stomach. one of the most inn
portant organs of the human system. as it
does to the man himself.
If your stomach is worn out and rebels
against being taxed beyond it's limit, the
only sensible thing you can do is to give it
a rest. Employ substitute for a short
time and see II It will not more than re-
pay you in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a willing
and most efficient substitute. They them
selves digest every bit OF food in the stom-
ach in just the same way that the stomach
itself would were 1t well. They contain all
the essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the stom-
ach contain and actually act Just the same
and do just the same work as the natural
fluids would do were the stomach we'll and
sound. They. therefore, relieve the stom-
ach. just as one workman relieves an
other, and permit 1t to rest and recuperate
and regain its normal health ard strength
This vacation idea was suggested by
the letter OF a prominent lawyer In Chi
cago. Read what he says: 1T was en-
gagged in the most momentous undertaken
OF my life III bringing about the coalition
OF certain great interests that meant much
TO me as we'll my clients. 1t was not
the work of days, but of months; / was
working night and day almost. when at a
very critical time my stomach went COM
pletely back on me. The undue mental
strain brought il about and hurried up
what would have happened later on
What ate had 10 literally force down,

II had not taken a quarter OF that box
before l found that they would do all the

Of Sores-Three Doctors Could
Not Cure-ChiId Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS FOR 75c.

Mrs. George ]. Steese, Of 701 Coburn
St, Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfiguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, after
physicians, and all else had failed: II
feel il my duty to parents of other poor
suffering babies to tell you what Cuti-
cura has done for my little daughter.
She broke out all over her body with .
humor, and we used everything recon-
mended, but without results. called
in three doctors, they all claimed they
could help her, but she continued to
grow worse. Her body was a mass of
sores, and her little face was being
eaten away; her ears looked as II they
would drop off. Neighbors advised me
toget Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
before l had used half of the cake OF
soap and box of ointmen. the sores had
all healed, and my little ones face and
body were as clear as a newborn babes.
j would not be without it again il it
cost five dollars, instead of scventy-fivs
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever.
