4 DOLLAR SAVED REPRESENTS
 TEN DOLLARS EARNED

The average man does not save to ex- ceed ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living ex- penses for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for bis garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlains Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy. It costs but few cents, and bottle of 1t in the house often saves doctors bill of several dollars. For sale by J. Heubner.

The different types of bucket dredges vary only in the methods adopted for saving the gold and stack ing the tailipgs. The simplest form is known as tbe sluice box dredge, on which the gold is caught in long sluics run fitted with ripples, into which the buckets tip their burden. The other type is called the screen dredge, which, as the Dsms suggests, is provided with a revolving screen or trommel, through which the material raised is washed onto tables running athwartships and discharsing astern of the 6redge in semi-cireular chute. The coarser material passes out of the screen into tail chute, also to be deposited astern either by passing over sluice yun or being conveyed in the trays of a tailings elevator.

SOME COUNTY OPTICIANS TOOK
AsllANcE ON PRosAsLE
LEGISLATION

Some Of the West Virginia news
papers are discussing what they
deem probable Legislation this win
ter as follows:
The prospective candidates for
county clerk and sheriff are liable to
get a rude shock If the rumors that
are now extaht about what the in
coming legislature proposes to DO to
She fee system are carried, out.
1t is said that the matter Of abol-
ighIng the fee system in the county
Offices will be brought up In the leg
islature and fought to finish and
that plans looking to that end have
been formulated by those who are
aware of the trend Of public senti-
mept. The plan proposed is to make
the county clerkship a salarled Office,
and have recorder Of deeds and n
county clerk. The sheriffs Office will
also be cut up If the plan is carried
out, and the Office of county treasurer
will be created, the treasurer
to collect all the taxes, while. the
sheriff shall attend to all the court
work, looking after the prisoners,
etc. II is believed that large saving
in EXPENSES can be made in this way
If such law is adopted there will
not be such mad fight all over the
State for the nominations Of the
county clerkship or for sheriffs as
there has been heretofore, nor will
there lie such an enormous outlay Of
money by the candidates to get the
nomination and secure an election.
Even ii this law is not passed the
county clerkship will not be worth,
by seyral thousand dollars year,
as much as 1t is now. The fees for
recording various papers have been
reduced, during the past year and in
addition, beginning with the next
term the clerks will have nothing to
do with making up the land books,
but that VIII be the duty OF the coun'
ty assessor.

NELL REPORT PUBLISHED

After some consideration of the wis
dom of publishing the Neill report and
yielding to the public clamor of all
sections of the country for a knowl-
edge of its contents, the President
sent a message to Congress transmit
ting it for the consideration of the
national legislature. The story as
told by the Neill report shows revolt
ing conditions in a number of the
packing houses and in many cases
upholds all of the stories told in the
Sinclair novel. The Nelll committee
did not consider affidavits of wit
nesses to any great extent in arriv-
ing at is conclusions, but paid more
attention rather to conditions as wit
messed by the three members of the
committee. The message of President
characterized the conditions found by
the investigators as ''revolting" and
urged immediate legislation "in the
interests of health and decency." He
not only recommends the passage Of
the so-called Beveridge amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill but
threatens to destroy the foreign busi-
ness Of the packers should congress
fail to provide for federal inspection
of meats at all stages of preparation.
In the event of such failure, the Presi-
dent says that he will De compelled
to order that inspection labels and
certificates on canned products shall
