THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
of Seventy-Five Cents.

my little boy, when only an infant
Of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
l called one of our best doctors TO
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. l had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. | used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost 75c, and l
would have gladly paid 800 if l could
not have got it cheaper feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

searle on Insuranee Matters.

81 approved the plan and ] didn't
approve it," declared State Auditor
Searle when questioned in regard to
the rumor that he approved without
the knowledge OF Insurance Deputy
Pierce a plan to change the Bankers
Reserve Life, mutual insurance COM
pany OF Omaha, into stock company.
This department cannot pass upon
such a plan until after 1t is completed
and put up to us That will be done
at the annual meeting, January To-"
When asked if a majority Of the
stockholders can change mutual
company to a stock company, or II un-
animous consent was necessary, Mr..
Searle stated that the statutes would
be obeyed, and that that question
should be asked Of the attorney gen
eral.
The policyhoders OF the Bankers Re.
serve are bitterly opposing the scheme
and declare that it is a plan of the
officers to get entire control of the
company by securing a majority OF the
stock. The company has 100000, Sup
posedly for the protection of the
policyholders, on deposit with the
state. This will have to be pulled

There Is some compensation in not
being king II man can be n captain
of industry or a retired diamond mine
owner There Is too much ceremony
about the job OF king to suit the av-
erage mortal. Does royalty never get
a chance to relax? The king not only
must be every inch king, but he
must be king every minute. Some
body whom he has never met but who
must have had a grim sense Of humor,
has prescribed etiquette for him which
he must follow every waking minute.
We fancy there is some formula which
he must snore by also. Even when he
travels incognito he has to send ahead
description Of his clothes and the
way he spells his name to the chiefs
of police OF the cities in which he ex-
poets to stop. No wonder the king of
Spain took off his coat and threw it
away when out hunting. The only
wonder is that he did not throw a
brick at the person who reproved him
for 1t.

Net Weiuht RuIinq Stands.

Until q court order changes condi-
lions Nebraska food products put up
in package form must be branded with
net weight and measure of contents.
An opinion was given by Attorney
General w. r. Thompson to Governor
Sheldon, embodying this view and 1t
will be followed by the food commits
sioner. 1t will make no change in his
position, for his Interpretation of the
law is upheld In every respect by the
legal department of the state. Cow
ernor Sheldon asked the attorney
general the meaning of the pure food
law with respect to branding pack
ages. In his letter the governor men,
toned the belief of the executive de-
partment and asked If this was cor
rect. TIE attorney general says it is,
and in lenthy opinion, details his
reasons. He says the Interpretation
is in line with the holdings of the
court. And while it is more strict
than the federal pure food law, the
state legislature evidently regarded
the national law too lax and made the
provisions purposely.

When You Put Latchkey In Your Door

When You Put Latchkey In Your Door.
When you put the latchkey in the
door Of your home, drop your business
or profession; drop all the things
which have vexed and worried and
nagged you during the day; drop
everything disagreeable. Just say to-
yourself, II will not allow these
shadows in my home. This Is shrine
too sacred for discord." Resolve that
peace, harmony, contentment shall
reign there. II you insist on worrying
during the daytime, do not drag your
worries home at night. Do not bring
the black flends which have destroyed
your peace In the office into your
home. Leave your cares and your
troubles behind when you enter its
doors. The habit which many married
people have of talking their troubles
over at night, and especially at the
dinner table, Is a most vicious one,
declares Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. The dinner bell should
be a signal for the happiest time of
the day. Every member of the family
should go to the table with smiles
each one should bring his best, bright
est and most cheerful things to It. No
one should be allowed to complain or
relate his unfortunate experiences
there. The assembling round the din
ner table should be an occasion for
fun and laughter-the enemies of in
digestion.

Express Company Wins First Round

The supreme court overruled the
motion of the state to strike that por-
ton of the answer of the Adams EX-
press company in a suit brought by
the state to enjoin the company from
violating the Sibley act. which al
leges that the Sibley act went into
effect August 5. AS the attorney gen.
eral filed suit prior to August 5, the
effect of this ruling of the court may
throw out the states suit as having
been prematurely filed. The date
when the law actually went into effect
Is still before the court and is vital
point in the case. If the court throws
out the states suit on the ground that
1t was filed prematurely the attorney
general can begin new action in the
state court or he can wait until the
federal court passes upon the matter,
the validity of the law being an issue
in a case now pending in the federal
court, filed by the express companies.
The case in which the motion was
overruled was remanded from the fed.
eral courts to the state court, where
it was originally filed. The Sibley act
reduces rates 25 per cent and has
never been forced.

the laying of cement walks Is a public
necessity and will in the end be of
benefit to everybody.
Some Coincident Questions.
The various questions which have
come up as a result of the action of
the council, especially those relating to
grade and alignment, and the manne in
which the difficulties of laying cross

caused much discussion. 1t Is stated
that in some cases there will be much
difficulty in making the buildings and
grounds correspond to the sidewalk
levels, unless the lots are filed in, a
procedure which would entail an en-
tirely prohibitive expense.
New Plan Suggested.
The necessity OF adjusting grades to
the blocks in question was spoken of,
and it was suggested that a "block

levels now demanded by the old ordi-

The necessity for official bench
