The Su- preme Court today reversed Gir- cult Judges Lea and Winfield, and held that the refusal ot State Auditor Avery F. Moore to hon. or warrants on the State Cepitol fund Tor the reason that there is 10 part of the fund subject to draft k justified in every point, and the writ o1 mandamus asked by State Capitol Gommissioner W 5. Alexander requiring the state auditor to isSae q warrant covering certain amounts due him E Tor services as commissioner is etnphdtieall5 denied.
 T he opinion wa> handed down by Chief Justice Hill. and i> a complete review ol the ease.
 The chief ground for the opu- lon favorable to the position ol tIe.>tats auditor k based upon the principle that the General Assembly las the anquestionabl, right to withhold any fund ut it~ oan discretion, as fn ease of war, for instance, and Il has, therefore, tlle right to dispense all funds by appropriation, tile one right being eorallary to tile other.

"Fightiug Before LADIES'"

The Hon. Thomas Sharkey, refereeing
a lightweight bout at the Englewood
carnival, rebuked a too energetic pugi-
list. "Remember," he said, severely,
''you are fighting before ladies"
The refining influence of women upon
all conflicts, from polo to politics, is
pleasant theory. A greater man than
Sharkey once disputed it. Telling how
the wife,of AN opponent had been ad-
mitted to a famous ring side, he said:
"Rehnln' influence of woman, huh I'd
got him good an licked when she sings
out Give 1t to him = an in less'n min
ute he'd spiked me in the shin"
Women watched the tiercest jousts oil
helmeted knights in the days Of chival-
ry, when broken necks were not uncom-
mon They witnessed the combats of
gladlators, as they still do the bull
fights In Spain and Mexico They joy
In the hot fights of the football field, a
more prolific source Of injury than the
prize ring. Women are the cause of
most private warfare as land is the
cause Of most national warfare.-New

Another KIND.

When Johnny Hobbs left his home
up among the New Hampshire hills to
visit his grandmother in Worcester,
Mass, he was cautioned by his mother
that he would find things in the city
strangely different from those at home.
Johnny arrived In the early after
noon, and long before tea time his
grandmothe-, who lived most simply,
told him to run out to the pantry and
get bowl of milk which she had left
there 'for hungry boy"
A moment later she followed him,
and, to her amazement, beheld her
bravely at work on bowl
Of spearmnt tea which she had forgot
fully put In the place where. she had
told him to find the milk.

| Agency In Spreading Disease Was
Discovered Many Years Ago.
At the time of the discovery of the

1t was not dreamed that far more than
the germ Of the truth had been reveal

York Sun. The truth was told In 1853

Venezuela, and little later In brief

In May, 1853, Louis Daniel Beauper-

Peppermint and Tobacco.

If you have boy who has begun

to cure Of the habit, feed him pepper

cure. DR. Jones writes ITO break the

Il dissolved tobacco will not blend kind
ly with the taste that remains. Social
ly the cure may seem worse than the
disease, but from a medical point of
view the sucking Of peppermints is far
less hurtful A common 'bullseye' will
prevent smoking for nearly an hour,
so the amount OF sweets used need not

Soapoids.

Do you wash? 1t is a well-knOwn
medical fact that scrubblng the face
and hands with chemical detergents is
absolutely rulnous to the delicate outer
fabric of the skin. You would not pour
a can of petrol on the side Of an aero
plane to make it go, would you? Why,
then, attempt to open the pores of the
cuticle and keep them working by the
external application Of saponaceous
tablets and other inferior frauds Of
the kind? Beware of these as you
would of poison.
Water is equally dangerous. Why is
It that you meet so many people ey-
cry day In the street with gray smut
stained faces and toll-begrlmed hands?
Simply because they abrade and de-
nature has provided their bodies, In
stead Of treating It nationally from
within. The only way TO be clean is
to swallow sOapoids, with their wonder
full internal operation on the fibers and
nerve tissues However dusty or grit
ty you may be, one does of soapoids
will set you right The pores win
spring open and shed off the unnatural
accretlon Of foreign substances as a
snake sloughs Its skin.
Think, too, of the time and money
you will save No more tedious ablu-
lions and ruinous water rates. You
can swallow your soapold as you walk
to the office and be as bright as new
pin.
Our final word is II you have been
washing, stop 1t II you have not, don't
begin. Spare your eplrdermis, and
swallow soapolds. Try natures way
and be clean.-Punch

KASPARILLA

THIS sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for a world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value
II II fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

ed throughout the world. 1t is pro

effect a saving of % per cent. After

steel or malleable iron, the whole pro
cess being automatic.
