IT ALWA4o HELPS

An ailment like consump-
ton that has been months
and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in a week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, butnot over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any
stage Of the disease. We
guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else.

UTAH CALLS THE
AWARDS A FRAUD
Legislative Committee Scores
the Management of St.
Louis Fair
SAYS MERIT MEDALS WERE SOLO

Salt Lake, Utah, March 13. - The
special committee recently sent to St
Louis by the lower house Of the legis-
Iature Of Utah to investigate irregu-
larities in the accounts of Utah's COM
mission to the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position has presented a report that Is
severe in its criticism Of the manage
ment of the exposition. The report
says:
I'VE are unanimous in reporting that,
according to our knowledge and belief,
the so-called awards, consisting Of
medals, ribbons, etc, supposedly given
as marks of merit by the st. Louis
official award ribbon committee by au-
thority of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, to the so-called successful ex-
hibitors, are in our opinion an inn
mense and gigantic fraud"
The report charges that so-called
awards of merit are being issued "by
a straw Incorporation" for the sole
purpose of being 50 Id to be used in a
commercial way as advertising matter.
The committee reports the substance
of a conversation with an agent alleged
to be employed specially to sell these
awards on commission. The alleged
agent, the report says, exhibited one
award "of special merit" that he said
he had sold for $500, and stated to the
committee that a certain well-known
manufacturing concern had paid as
high as $4,000 for a so-called official
award to be used for advertising.
The committee further charges that
legitimate medals were being held back
by the exposition management to pro-
mote this traffic in awards.
In its investigation of the Utah COM
mission, the committee verified various
charges of irregularities, including for
geries of vouchers aggregating S21OO
The legislature will be asked to ap-
propriate $1,000 to cover the deficit in
the funds OF the state commission.

For four years Milton has been doing
business without charter and was
legally dead. The last charter granted
this town was in 1851 for twenty years.
That charter expired in 1901. without
the knowledge OF the present or past
town commissioners. Council has

transactions and no doubt, in the past
four years has "A number Of times
lperused closely the charter. yet he
failed 10 note the fact that II had ex-
pired. Some months ago one Of our
citizens had his lawyer to look over
the acts Of incorporation and he failed
to note that the time limit had expired.
Members OF present and past boards
have, or should have, read and re-read
the charter, and they noted not that
ii had expired. In the face OF this
there are citizens who viii swell out
their chests and say, IL knew it one

LAND FRAUDS in UTAH
Thousands Of Acres Of Coal Lands Ac-
uured Bv Questionable Methods.

CURED by Questionable Methoos.
Salt Lake City, Utah, March 13.-
Special agents of the federal govern
ment are reported to have engaged
for some time past in investigating
public land frauds in Utah. Hundreds
of thousands of acres Of valuable coal
lands have been acquired by corpora
tions by questionable methods. Vast
tracts of coal land are said to have
been filed on and patented as agricul-
tural and grazing lands under the law
which permits every adult citizen to
acquire 100 acres OF coal lands by pur-
chase. upon payment of $40 an acre
for such lands when situated more
than Is miles from any railway and
$40 an acre when situated within Is
miles of railway. Later these filings
have been allowed to lapse and the
same lands have been acquired as ag-
ricultural or grazing lands at S1.50 per
acre. More than 1000 of these coal
entries have been made in the Salt
Lake City land Office but not more
than one in so of the persons who
made the filings has completed the
purchase, the filings lapsing and title
being secured as agricultural or graz
ing land from tho state land Office
through state land selections.
