An Antique
Prescription
A Remedy in Use
For Thousands Of
Years and vaIua-
bic as Ever

In this day and generation we are
too prone to seek the new remedies
and TO neglect the old, and in this we
often make mistakes.
Further back than man can trace
o,ve oil has been used as a remedy
ard food with most satisfactory re-
cult Perhaps one of the chief reasons
ubv il has fallen into disuse in these
times is owing to poor quality and
.duteration. But when the pure oil
ran be had, properly purified. it be-
zones a remedy as valuable to US as il.
was to the ancientS.
Today massage creams are fashion,
able beautifiers, but olive oil is better.
The old Greeks and Romans used per-
fumed olive oil baths, and it cannot be
denied that they fully understood the
value of physical beauty.
For the building up of flesh there Is
no food so valuable or so easily digest
ed as pure olive oil. A small quantity
taken after each meal will soon show
remarkable results.
But one Of its most valuable uses Is
as remedy for constipation, from
which so many suffer.
In dose of tablespoonful, or less
taken after meals. olive oil will soon
effect natural cure for this ill. Olive
oil is in no way disagreeable if pure.
refined olive oil is used 1t can easily
be taken floating on hot coffee or n
little lemon juice and no unpleasant
taste will result.
Among olive oil there is none that
has a better reputation for purity and
agreeabencss than VESCA. This is
an Italian oil that is refined in France
and Imported in sealed cans. 1t is sold
at BEANE'S CASH DRUG STORE IN
eight ounce, sixteen ounce ana thirty
two ounce bottles.
1t is already largely used here by
people OF discrimination, and is be-
coming more and more popular as it
becomes better known.

preme court will have an opportunity
to pass upon the new law.
/ Even under the former law, with
its considerably milder provisions, the
| subject of appointive preference was
brought to the attention of the SUI
preme court. In 1908 w. s. Bergund-
thai, who had just been elected mayor
of Topeka, appointed Porter Mitchell
as superintendent of the electric light
works. By this appointment he dis
placed H. X. Goodrich, who had held
| the position up to that time. Good
rich was an old soldier. He refused
to recognize the appointment of his
successor as legal, and and brought
quo warranto proceedings in the SUI
preme court to GUST Mitchell. The at
| torneys in the case agreed upon a
statement of facts, Mitchells attorney
depended upon being able to have the
law declared unconstitutional. He
failed in this attempt, and the supreme
court decided the case in favor of
Goodrich.
At about the same time that the
Goodrich case was tried similar
case CAME before the court from juno
ton City. This suit was over the APP
pointment of city attorney-an APP
pointive officer in cities of the second
class. In the Junction City suit,
however, there was no agreed state
ment of facts, and the court decided
for the defendant. In this decision it
was held substantially that, while the
soldier-preference law was constitu-
tional, the decision as to the relative
qualifications of different applicants
was left to the officer having the APP
pointing power, and that his judgment
was not subject to review by the
courts.
If the court interprets the present
law along lines of its two decisions on
the former law, mayor or other Of
ficer making an appointment can re-
ject the application of an old soldier,
provided he takes the responsibility Of
declaring the applicant incompetent
AS the new law does not make the
appointment dependent upon relative
qualifications, however, it is possible
that the court will make more posi-
tive ruling on 1t, and either declare
the law unconstitutional or insist upon
its being strictly enforced In the
latter case there will be decided
shaking up in the system of making
appointments in Kansas municipalities.
The opponents of the soldier pref
erence law claim that it is class legis-
lation, and that it practically takes
away the appointing power, They at
! tack the law on the ground that il
prevents a mayor or other responsible
officer from giving an efficient admin
istration of public affairs.
! In case the supreme court should de-
eide that the soldierpreference law
must be strictly enforced the effect
of the law will be much greater in
cities which adopt the new commits.
sion law than IL is In any city of Kan
sas under present conditions Under
the commission form OF government
which a number of the larger cities OF
the state are planning to adopt, the
appointve positions are more numer.
Gus and more important than they
are under the present system. They
include, besides the positions now
filled by appointment in cities OF the
FIRST class, the offices of city attorney,
city clerk, city treasurer city audi
tor. and Judge of the police court
