III WANTS TIE TAX
State Auditor Calls For Tive Per
Cent of Money Paid On Sd
loon Licenses

The county auditors Of the state ard
the village recorders OF the village s
have been called on by State AuIitC r
IversOn to remit at once to the state
treasury the per cent. tax on saloon
licenses. 1t will be remembered that
the last legislature passed law
providing that per cent. of every
saloon license paid into the village,
city or county treasury must be sent
the state treasurer to be used to start
a hospital for inebriates. It was
figured that the state ought not to sup
ply the money to build such an in
stitution and the tax on saloon licenses
was hit upon as an ingenious way out
OF the difficulty. The tax will net the
state for the hospital fund about
500, 900 per year and in two or three
years the fund will be big enough to
pay for the hospital and provide an
annual income sufficient for all its
needs. This city will contribute an
nuaily from 1925 to $3.50. In many
places the local officials have over
looked this tax and have not sent in
the necessary $40 or $40 per license,
hence the state auditors letter.

Simple Wash Cures Eczema

Itching, Burning Skin Disease Rout-
cd Without Use of Injurious Drugs
Great inventors often have been prais-
ed for surrendering the secrets of their
discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world
IN the case of DR.. Decatur d. Dennis.
the eminent skin specialist Of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office practic,
dlscoved that pure vegetable OH Of
wlntergreen, property mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
barber s itch, salt rheum. and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
yintergreen alone was found ineffec-
tive. 1t required other mild iDgre-
dients such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded d. d. u. Frescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
once-the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an attempt to doctor the blood, where
as modern science has determined
that eczema is first and all the time
skin disease.
Ii you want to know more about the
merits OF d. ID. ID. Prescription, call at
our store. We vouch for this remedy.

Eariv Cigarette Smokers.

Who first introduced cigarettes into
this country? They were first used in
the streets here by the late Laurence
Oliphant, says The Reader. and, curl
ously enough, the introduction of this
method of smoking to the English peo-
pie came as a result of the Crimean
war;
Our officers in Russia, among other
hardships, could not procure tobacco
or cigars, and learned the use of the
cigarette from their French, Italian
and Turkish allies, and also from their
stay in Malta and Gibraltar.
Introduced into London military and
other clubs, the new custom made
very slow progress. But its use stead
lily spread from 1870 to 1880. when the
fashion was set by the golden youth of
those days

Bad Breath From Indigestion Cannot
be Overcome With perfumes.

Nine.tenths of the offensive breath is
a result of stomach trouble. II cannot

any other palliative measures.
If you have bad breath; if there is
heart burn, flatulence and gulpings OF
undiegsted food; if the stomach bnrns
or smarts; il there is sleeplessness,
nervousness, headaches or any other
symptoms of Indigestion, use Mi-o-na
stomach tablets and get we'll.
A little 50-cent box of Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets lasts for a couple OF week 8
and will ward off dozen mild attacks
OF indigestion, while its continued use
will give an absolute and complete

tablets that they refund the money

the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as identifying
marks to indicate the ownership of the
volume.

The earliest mention of the book

book plates and designer of great

Fate Of His Castle,

At meeting of the Irish league an
amusing story was told of Lord Shook,
whose beautiful residence overlooks
the Killarney lakes. His lordship's regi-
ment was ordered to India, but before
he left he gave local contractor Or
ders to build a wall around a certain
ruined castle on his estate which was
being picked to pieces by excursion
ists
Many years after he returned with
the feeling that whatever had hap
pened his ruin would at least be safe.
He was shocked to find the wall en-
closing a vacant space where the cas-
tie, the idol of his eye, had reposed
when he last visited the spot
Where is the castle?" he demanded
of the man intrusted with the con-
tract.
What" replied that worthy, do ye
name that tumbledown shanty? Sure,
I pulled it down and built the wall
wild the bricks"

Strange Coincidence in Deaths.

A strangely pathetic tragedy has
been revealed by the death of a man
IN the casual ward of the Tonbridge
workhouse. The man arrived there
in the prosecution of his search for
his wife, from whom he separated
many years ago, and he died through
breaking a blood vessel.
He told his story to the workhouse
master, who made inquiries and ascer-
tanned that on the same day woman
had died from precisely similar
cause in the same workhouse. 1t was
the missing wife. Both bodies are
buried in one grave to-day.

The search for bones of the an

desert of the Nile basin has resulted
In the exhuming of many bones, but
whether the find includes any definite
remains Of such an animal does not
yet appear. Many rows of teeth have
been found that belonged to some ami
mails that inhabited the region per-
haps 5000 years ago. Also in this
depressed desert were many skeletons
of ancient whales.

The function took place in the Odd

dear creatures suffered no inconven-
fence or discomfort. The men were
arrayed in the finest raiment
their wardrobes afforded and the ladies
affirmed with numerous compliment
tary adjectives that they looked "just
too sweet for anything. 1t would be
difficult matter to tell who was "the
belle of the ball", but it was whispered
about the following day that Ed Han
son and Leo Heifner ran neck and

fine affair, the ladies easily demons

function of that kind on a plane away

LANDING IN ENGLAND,
Going Through the Custom House Is a
Simple Matter There

mere is no country where the mat
ter OF landing from American nassen-
ger ships is so easy and so expeditions
ly done as England, says the Travel
Magazine. OF course. it is free trade
country, the freest in the whole: world.
There are duties levied on tobacco
and spirits, but travellers are allowed
half-pound of tobacco, in any shape.
and a half-pint of spirits. which also
means the same as perfume. Sugar is
dutlable, whether in grain. sweets or
in jam, but small quantity is freely
passed.
In all cases, however. these goods
must be the actual property of the
passenger, and be for his use and con-
trail. Cocoa, coffee and tea are also
dutlable, as are reprints of English
books. Outside of these things, as
named, passengers can bring in any
thing. motors, cycles. horses. but not
dogs, for which 2ni''al a not 20 exceed
six months quarantine awaits. Keep
dogs on the Anne: u side.
The customs officials are life ap-
pointees-under civi! service-and will
be found most obligine and helpful. In
fact, they are a model to the customs
world. Tell the truth at all times to
these officials and you will be all right.
They are marvelOusly keen on spotting

Birds Queer PLIGHT,

A fluttering in the f1ue leading from
the kitchen stove attracted the atten-
ton of Mrs. J. Edward Sims the other
morning.
When Mr.. Sims came in he was
asked to Investigate, and much to his
surprise found in the stove pipe, only
a few feet from the gas flame, a red
headed woodpecker. How the bird
got into that predicament cannot be
explained, but he must have entered
at the chimney top and worked his
way downward. Perhaps he was lazy
and was looking for a hole to build
his nest in without drilling one into
the wood. His bright coat of red,
white and black was subdued to a
sooty brown, and in outward appear
ances he resembled the chimney
sweep, and he was gasping for fresh
air when released.
Why He Got Degrees.
Woodrow Wilson. president of
Princeton, was deploring the promis-
cuous giving of honorary degrees.
"Our universities have learned of
late," he said, ito distribute honorary
degrees judiciously But in the past
He smiled.
We'll, in the past met an uncouth
person at dinner, and, being told by
an acquaintance that he had three
degrees, l asked why it was.
Well, said my friend, the third
was given him because he had two,
the second because he had one, and
the first because he had none"

For West Virginia, know, until

laps the worst examples of labor
injunctions; more particularly feo'

people, through the ballot box, have
to great degree checked the evil in
the state courts.
West Virginia was the state in

complained that John Mitchell and
other officers of the United Mine

workmen to leave it because it re-
