JOYCE DECIDES
HE WILL RESIGN
Former President of School
Board Will Give Up Place on
Friday Evening. /.

II is authOritatively stated that DR. r
F. Joyce will resign as a member of the
school board at an early date This is
the direct result of the agitation raised
in connection with the Cloyd case. which
has just been closed. 1t is most likely
that DR.. Joyce will tender his resiena-
uon at the board meeting next Friday
evening. He was elected from the Sec
ond ward about ten years ago and has
served since that time. At the death ,f
the late Thomas ID. Dee he was chosen
president of the board.
More than a month ago DR.. Joyce
changed his place of residence to the
Fourth ward, and at that time resigned
from the presidency. He still retained his
seat in the board, however, and continued
to act as the representative of the ward
from which he was elected. immediately
following the dismissal of d. f. Cloy d
as head of the Ogden high school, the
deposed principal fought the action on the
ground that DIR. Joyce's removal to an
other ward disqualified him from any
longer acting as a member of the board.
During the time that the Cloyd case was
pending. and until its final disposition
DR.. Joyce continued to serve on the
school board. although he did not par
ticipate in the two last meetings. when
the decision to diSplace Cloyd was
reached. The latter fact was commented
on quite extensively at the time, and IT
subsequently leaked out that the reason
was that he and Cloyd had engaged in
a controversy that equaled that between
Cloyd and Superintendent Allison yester-
day. with the exception that, they did not
resort TO blows.
DIR. Joyce has been the most active men,
Der of the board for some time and IL is
sent high standard of the Ogden schools
has been reached.

REVENUE. LAWS ON CLUBS
Department Ruling Is Important, but
Does Not Affect Salt Lake In
corporated Organizations.

The internal revenue department has
rendered a decision to the effect that any
club conducting a bar or buffet which is
organized under the laws of another state
from that in which the club is located
or which holds d charter from another
state. or which is not Incorporated at ALL
is liable for an additional license fee for
additional members enrolled after the Ii
cenSe or charter was granted.
This ruling will not effect the recog-
nzed clubs of Salt Lake, which are all
organized under the laws of Utah and
hold a charter from this state, but it will
mitigate against the clubs organized for
the purpose of evading the Sunday clos
ing laws and the fly-by-night so-called
clubs organized TO promote prize fights
or gambling.
The decision of the internal revenue de-
partment states that a special tax iiabil-
ity is incurred every time a change is
made in the membership by the addition
of new members. whether one or more.
but also states that d special tax is not
incurred for each of several new men,
bers taken in at the same time.

SKIN CLEARED
BY Simple Change in Food.

1t has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of in
digestion.
There's undoubtedly much truth in
the statement even to the cause of
many unsightly eruptions. which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
BY changing her food, a Kansas girl
was relieved of an eczema which was a
great annoyance to her. She writes:
For five months l was suffering
with an eruption on my face and hands
which our doctor called eczema and
which caused me a great deal of incon-
venience. The suffering was almost I'M
bearable.
THE medicine / took only gave me
temporary relief. One day l happened
to read somewhere that eczema was
caused by indigestion. Then | read
that many persons had been relieved
of indigestion by eating GrapeNuts.
II decided to try it. l liked the
taste of the food, and was particularly
pleased TO notice that my digestion was
improving and that the eruption was
disappearing as if by magic had at
last found, in this great food, some
thing that reached my trouble.
When l find victim of this afflic-
ton, / remember my own former suf-
fering, and advise a trial of Grape
Nuts food instead of medicines"
