Cost Of Discovering America.

A Chicago antiquary has discover
ed that Columbus received salary Of
1920. He estimates that the whole
cost of the expedition that found
America was about $1,000. John
Knox received salary of 1920. and a
leading lawyer in the time of Edward
Nv. was content with a fee which
amounted to one dollar in our money.
A sumptuous Christmas dinner could
be bought then for II cents. A dol
lar went a long way in those days,
but the salaries of professional men
and the wages of laborers seem abb
surdly meager when compared with
the best-paid ability and skill in these
modern days. The good old times,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, would
present no attractions to those who
imagine there was a time when labor
was much Better rewarded than it is
to-day. Despite the monopolies and
the trusts, moderate fortune can
be acquired now more readily than ii
could in former times. In 1920 a
man who had $4,000 was accounted
rich, and such men were very scarce

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure
Most Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
its victims. Worst Of all, the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, Of 80 Union
Street. Auburn, Me-, says: For
years suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. 1t
was particularly intense over my right
| eye. I tried medicines but got no re-
lief. I mad no appetite and when
the headache passed away felt as IL
had been sick for month. My
blood was thin and was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
II read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them. I first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced to gain in weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and ! have never
felt so well as do now"

by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Company, Schenectady, ". Y.

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery II Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In
Manufactured by Cuticura.

II wish to inform you that you,
wonderful Cuticura has put stop to
twelve years of misery I passed with
my son. AS an infant I noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger I put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, inf1amed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When think of his suffering,
it nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. I had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could I sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
full Cuticura and decided to give it
trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth it's weight in gold, and when
I had used the first box of Ointment
there was great Improvement, and
by the time I had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

The Public and the Director.

More important than statutory re-
is the reform of reason and moral SEN
timent We must come to consider
unpaid officers who give their time to
public affairs as persons making a
charitable contribution to the well
fare of the community. The corpo-
rate members and the directors of an
insurance company, like the corpo-
rate members and directors of saw
ings bank, must consider themselves,
and must be considered by others, to
be engaged in a work of public char
ity. A savings bank, indeed, is sup
posed to be a receptacle for the saw
ings of the poor, though the SUPPOSE
ton is not always true; while life
insurance company is receptacle for
the savings of some well-to-do or
even rich. Charitable or public serv-
ice, however, declares Francis c..
Lowell in Atlantic, may be rendered,
even where some beneficiaries are
as.c>to pay for the services. Where
the well being of the community, or
of many of it's members, requires
great service rendered alike to rich
and poor, those fitted to render it
may be asked to give their labor with
out pay, if, for any reason, that is
more convenient. This is the rule
with colleges and libraries, art mu-
seums and hospitals.

The United States have at last dis

Patrick Charges Corruption.

Charges of corruption against the
brewers and the Nebraska retail liquor
dealers association were made public
~ Tuesday afternoon by Senator Pat
rick, fusionist, of Sarpy. He said it
was understood that two years ago
members of the legislature were cred
tied by from $4,000 to $4,000 for their
votes against the county option bill
and similar bills and that within the
past two weeks a fund of $4,000 had
been raised in Omaha to defeat the
Gibson bill, to prevent brewers from
having an interest in saloon licenses
and similar bills. Senator Patrick has
himself introduced one bill that pro-
vides that signers of a petition for a
saloon shall be equally liable for dam
ages with the saloonkeeper and his
bondsmen. The charge was made by
Patrick in an impassioned speech.

Visits of Committees.


Randall of Madison, chairman of the
committee on public lands and build
ings, headed the delegation represent
ing the visiting committees visited the
state institutions at Grand Island,
Kearney and Hastings. The commit
tee found that the soldiers home at
Grand Island asked for $4,000
building for ward purposes and at
Kearney the state normal asks for
building costing 100000. There are
1000 inmates of the Hastings asylum
for the insane and that institution is
not asking for any new buildings, but
it is asking for an increase to $4OO,OOO
for maintenance. At the soldiers
home at Grand Island there are 366
men and 1853 women, making total
of 519. Commandant Askwith of the
soldiers home at Grand Island reports
that there are on file eighteen appli-
cations and that there is no room for
the old soldiers who desire admittance.
He is of the opinion that for the next
ten years the state must prepare to
keep as many members of the home as
it now has. This is contrary to the
general belief that the number of sol
diers at state and national homes will
soon diminish. He finds that men
who it was thought would never be
compelled to ask for admittance have
been compelled to apply for place
in soldiers homes.

DECIDE ON STATEWIDE PRIMARY BILL
After Full Discussion of All Phases
COMMITTEES, by Vote of 10 to q,
Adopt Motion OF Senator Ale
rich of Butler County.
Statewide Primary Bill.

| Statewide Primary Bill.
BY a vote of ten to four the joint
committee on direct primary,at a meet
| ing held on Monday evening, February
4th, decided to draft bill state wide
in effect for submission to the legis-
lature.
1t was only after a general discus
sion of the primary bills now before
the legislature, together with methods
for nominations employed in various
states, that the committee reached a
decision.
Some of the members of the COM
mittee voted for the drafting of a state
wide bill who, in their discussion, APP
peared to have doubt as to the result
of such a law. But in the end, the
committee seemed of the opinion of
Senator Aldrich, who said the state
wide primary law was good way to
nominate men for Office who have ''ab-
solute individualism, independence of
| thought and action, who are of IN
| doubted integrity of character, who
know what the people want, and will
stand for it,"
During the first part of the COM
mittees deliberations the discussion
took wide range, the members giving
| every evidence of sincere desire to
give to the public bill which would
he satisfactory, and would be able to
| accomplish what it is intended it shall
| accomplish.
After every phase which could enter
into the question had been discussed,
| after all arguments for and against
statewide bill had been made, Sen
ator Aldrich moved that bill, state
wide in effect be drafted. The result
was as follows:
For statewide primary-Farley of
| Hamilton, Dodge of Douglas, Brown Of
Lancaster, Anderson of Madison, Phil
lips of Holt, Wilson Of Pawnee. Hol-
brook of Dodge, Patrick of Sarphy,
Thomas of Douglas, Aldrich of Butler.
| For limited primary-McMullen of
Gage, Mackey of Custer, Marlatt of
| Kearney, Luce of Harlan.
Dodge of Douglas moved that sub
| committee of five be named to draft
| the bill, and it carried. -
Chairman McMullen of the joint
committee on a primary bill Tuesday
named as the subcommittee to draft
the bill the following: Senator Aldrich
of Butler and Patrick of Sarpy; Rep
1 resentatives E. P. Brown of Lancaster,
Dodge of Douglas and Mackey of Gus
| ter Senator Patrick and Represent
alive Mackey are fusionists. OF the
number on the subcommittee, one,
Representative Mackey, voted against
statewide primary. All the others
appeared to favor the idea.
