OFFICIALS
ARE SATISFIED
Admit Law Unfair in One
Respect.
ASSAULT ON SALARY Law
To be Made by Many Of
ficials Throughout Ohio.
Marion County will Not Join the
Movement Against the Act That
Killed Fee System.

The officials of Marion county are
not concerned in the movement for a
restoration of the old fee system.
They say that they are we'll satisfied
with the salary law ana tnat they
do not intend to take hand in any
fight against 1t.
1.-The only objection ] have to the
salary law is that 1t is unfair in one
respect" said a county official,
Thursday morning. THE salaries are
based on the population of the
counties. when they should be ap-
portioned according to the amount OF
business done. Marion county, for
instance, has much larger tax dup
|licate and the officials handle much
more business than in counties OF
much greater population. We should
be paid for the work that We do and
not for the number of people we
|serve." The agitation for restOra-
tion OF the fee system Is being car
ried on almost entirely by the Off
cials in the big counties. say Marion
county officials. In counties of this
size the officials receive almost as
much IL not more, under tie salary
law as they did under the fee system.
In many Of the larger counties, how
ever. 1t means a difference OF thous-
ands of dollars to the officials.
The Ohio State Journal Thursday
morning contained the following re-
garding reported movement in
favor Of the fee system being car
ried on by the county officials:
plans are being carefully laid by
attacks on county officials salary
law as soon as the general assembly
convenes in January. The main as
sault will be led by the smaller coun-

HERE'S A WAY TO
SAVE DOCTOR BILLS
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which
Parents May Profit.

II was an association Of gentlemen,
professionally physicians and chem
lists, all of whom were born in the
drug trade, so 10 speak, and who have
been connected with 1t all their lives,
who first gave to the world Castoria,
which as everyone knows is pleas
liant and effective remedy for the all
ments of infants and children. 1t has
been recognized as meri-
ttorious preparation, and it's reward
has been the greatest popularity ever
enjoyed by any remedy ever put upon
the market; attained. not flamboyant
advertising or apepals to ignorance or
vulgar prejudice, but by inherent
merit. All physicians recommend
It, and many, very many. prescribe
lit.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con-
,,sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria. -
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place
for itself in the household. II bore
the signature of Charles II. Fletcher
then. as 1t does today. The signature
IS its guarantee, which is accepted in
thousands OF homes where there are
children.
Much is printed nowadays about
big families. DR.. William ]. Nc
Cram, of Omaha. Neb., Is the father
Iof one of these much-read-about fam
lilies. Here Is what he says:
las the father of thirteen child
rem, certainly know something
about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience
have. in my years of practice, found
ICastoria a popular and efficient rem
edy in almost every home"
Charles II. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that Dr. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
iuse Castoria in their own families,
but they prescribe II for their
patients. First of all it Is a vege-
table preparation which assimilates
the food and regulates the stomach
and bowels. After eating comes sleep
ing, and Castoria looks out for that
too 1t allays feverishness and pre-
vents loss of sleep. and this absolute
ly without the use of opium, NOR
phine or other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant TO
discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal of Health, however, says:
|"Our duty is to expose danger and
record the means for advancing
health. The day for poisoning inno-
cent children through greed or ignor-
|ance ought to end. To our knowledge
|Catsoria is remedy which produces

CLERK HIRE
STATEMENTS
Have Been Filed With the
Commissioners.
CHANGES TO TAKE PLACE
In Matter of Enforcing the
New Salary Law.
After January I Officials Must Re.
ceive in Fees Enough Money t.
Pay His Own and Clerks Salary

"Wednesday the various officials OF
1.-THE count filed with the commission
lers, statements showing the amount
lof money which will be needed for
clerk hire in the different offices dur
ling the next year. The statements
are now on file and within a few days
1.-THE commissioners will take action.
January 1 there will be a marked
lchange in the manner of enforcing
the salary law. From then on, every
county official must receive in fees
Ienough money TO pay his salary and
the cost of clerk hire. II he does
not receive sufficient amount, his
salary, must fall that much short of
the prescribed amount.
The salary law really went into ef-
fleet at the beginning of this year, but
Isince then there has been a provision
whereby any shortage between the
receipts Of an office and the expense
of operation might be met by money
taken from the general county fund.
In only two offices. those of the sher-
If and clerk, have there been any
shortage, all the rest of the officials
taking in enough to more than pay
|expenses.
The year has been unusually dull
| In both the clerks and sheriff's Of
lfices and 1t Is thought that II condi-
tlons were normal, the receipts in
each of these offices would be more
than enough to pay expenses.
Following the first of the year,
County Clerk Klinefelter will take
steps to cut down expenses. The
office of deputy will be done away
with and the only assistant of the
clerk will be a stenographer, who
will also act as record clerk.

ties, while the big fellows remain,
temporarily, at least, In the back
ground.
As the county auditors, treasurers,
clerks, sherifTs and other officials
gather in their regular pro-leglslative
meetings within the next six weeks,
the county salary law will be almost
the sole topic of consideration.
There are several alleged complica-
tions. All will help in confusing the
people, and will be used In an effort
to create the feeling that the salary
law Is a failure. and might better be
repealed, until something Ym6fe satls-
factory can be devised.
Many county officials, particularly
In the large counties, are counting on

was anticipated by the officials OF

longer defeat salary law, devoted
their energies TO so framing the law
that dissatisfaction would follow in
the small counties.
Several meetings of county officers
dissertations have been held within
the past year. Those attending did
so at their own expense. They have
declared that their action was prompt

You have probably heard or read the
famous saying: Il had rather be the

perhaps, who first used it. Plutarch at.

is, as he tells 1t, that when Caesar
came to little town in passing the

jocuar way: Can there be here any

Everything in consequence will
ease up and real benefits will later

oSTEoPATHY
AND MASSAGE

Sam Jones aptly defines the differ
ence between them as, "That of play
ing a piano and currying horse"
Massage is a system of rubbing,
stroking and kneading the body for
the purpose of modifying nutrition"
"Osteopathy is a system of treating
all durable diseases by correcting the
cause thereof, which is found in dis
placement of bones, usually of spine,
ribs or pelvis, and in the contrasture
of muscles or ligaments. Massage is
learned by brief instruction on move
ments, and relies on the doctor and
medicine as of old. Osteopathy is
learned by strenuous study Of three
years of nine months each against
the three to four years of six months
each Of the medical schools), and
treats all diseases, as records show,
most successfully, without recourse to
drugs or drug doctors"
A significant fact: Medical doctors
wage bitter war against osteopaths,
while the masseur is made his con-
temporary and assistant.
