A great scientist has said we can put

To do this the right kind Of food, of
course. is necessary. The body manu-
features po:sons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds Of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.

writes N. Y. lady, had been an in

called consumption of the stomach and

to die.
Il saw SO much about Grape-Nuts
that l persuaded Grandmother to try
1t. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than q few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. AS that did net distress
her and as she could retain IL, she took
q little more until she could take all OF
teaspoonfuls at meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble In the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one 50 old and We
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.

Of Natural History.

Fouryear-old Clyde was Q preco-
cious youngster-very laxative and .
close observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time. some tadpoles in a pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
"Oh. father. what are they?"
'Tadpoles. son." the father replied.
please, father. let's take them all
home with us, then come back and
find the mamma and papa. and we'll
have the whole family in our pond at
home"
The father explained how impossi-
BILE this would be, and as he walked on
. few steps a large ugly frog hoped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
Look, son. perhaps there is the papa"
Clyde was very thoughtful. He
looked at the frog. then at his father.
then at himself and exclaimed:
We'll, father, was there ever 20
much difference between me and
you?"

THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
IS TO UNSOLICITED FEES
Case Submitted to the Court Of Much
Interest to Judges and Former
County Judges.
The Vinsonhaler Case.

The vinsonhaler Case.
One case submitted to the full bench
of the supreme court and Commission
ers Dufiie, Calkins and Epperson Is
of a character to make county judges
and former county judges sit up and
take notice. 1t is one brought by
Douglas county against ex-County
Judge Duncan NJ. Vinsonhaler where:
in It Is sought to charge Mr.. Vinson-
haler with financia: responsibility for
about $4,000 worth of uncOliected
fees. Included in this claim is an item
for all marriages performed by the
county Judge, on the theory that 1t Is
his duty to perform such ceremony
and that whether or not he collected
any fee he is responsible for So for
each one in which he officiated.
The statute of limitations embraces
ten years for county judges and upon
the decision in this case rests the res
possibility of all county judges who
have held office within that period and
who have made their settlements
along the old lines of accounting for
all fees collected but not for mar
riages performed or fees collected.
AS to the marriage fees. it was con-
tended by attorneys for the defendant
that for thirty years or more 1t had
been customary to regard this as a
prerequisite of the Office and that it
rested with the Judge whether or not
he charged any fee. In fact many
judges. from friendship or other rea-
sons, have welded couples free of
charge. The contention was that the
pudge was not bound to marry a
couple or to collect a fee If he did;
that it was long-continued construc-
ton of a statute by officers whose
duty it was to construe that law. and
that by reason of this long continued
construction that construction now
has the force and effect of law.
Judge Vinsonhaler accounted for all
fees he received as an officer during
his six years as Judge, but in this case
the effort is being made to make him
the insurer of all fees ON the theory
that as the law provides that all fees
should be collected in advance. it was
his duty to have collected them, and
not having done so he is liable. !.

.|ND|CT NIGHT RIDERS
TENNESSEE TO UNRAvEl THE
RANKIN MURDER.
OFFICIALS POSSESS EVIDENCE
Expect to Convict Every Member Of
the Gang that Hanged Former
Army Officer.

Memphis.-What may happen this
week as result of the Investigation
of the night rider depredations in the
northwestern section of this state is
matter of conjecture. Monday, with
the converting of the circuit court for
Obion county in special session at
Union City formally. to investigate
the death of Quinten Rankin, who was
killed by night rider band in the
vicinity of Reelfoot lake Monday night
last, that section will be under com.
plete military domination. Five COM
panies of the Tennessee National
Guard will be at the disposal of Col.
Tatom. To aid the militia the adjoin-
ing counties have been drawn on for
posses of picked men.
In the Reelfoot lake district the lake
itself is the source of contention. 1t
was asserted by those living in the
vicinity that it was their right to ply
their vocation as fishermen in its wa
tiers without molestation, while the
owners of the land upon which the
lake is located took an opposite view.
In the courts the latter, the Western
Tennessee Land company, of which
Captain Rankin and Colonel r. z.
Taylor Of Trenton as the organizers,
are largely interested, were upheld.
Then followed night-rider warnings,
threatening death to those who op-
posed the wishes of the band. 1t was
upon the first visit in many months eo
the lake region that Captain Rankin
was killed. OF a number of men ar
rested, ten are being held, and it is
promised that when the grand jury is
convened sufficient evidence will be
furnished to secure the indictment of
every member of the night-riders or
ganizatfon. The sessions of the court
will be under military protection.
Governors of several states of the
south have approved of suggestion of
Governor Patterson, that conference
of the executives be held and plans de-
vfsed whereby they can act in concert
in an effort to destroy the night-rider
organizations.
