SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST TREASURER OF HARRIS
COUNTY FAVOR OF COUSINS.
PLACE FOR SCHOOL MONEY
Words County Treasurer In School
Fund Law Must Be Construed
to Mean "County Depository

Austin, Tex.-In refusing the appli-
cation of James Charlton, county
treasurer of Harris county, to compel
tlficate showing the amount of money
apportloned to Harris county as its
share of the available school fund, the
Supreme Court Wednesday upheld the
validity of the county depository act
of the Thirty-first Legislature. In this
Superintendent Cousins denied the
right of the county treasurer te~the
certificate by reason of the fact that
the county depository act of the Thir-
ty-first legislature required 1t to be Is
sued to the county depository. The va
lidity of the section of the law that
I the county treasurer, as -useh- IN all n
provisions of law relating to school
| funds, shall hereafter be construed
to mean the county depository" is
upheld.
| Couny Treasurer Charlton's first
contention in this case was that this
provision is not within the title of the
code putting into effect the constitu-
tional amendment adopted at the last
| general election relative to schools,
for. as titles of such an act, its pro-
visions must be confined to those fea-
lures of the new provisions which are
changed from the old.
The Supreme Court overruled this
as an inadmissible objection, since
the amendment consists of an entire
provision, which provides for the rails
ing of funds for the support of the
public schools, an act for putting such
a provision in practical operation may
we'll contain provisions for the rails
ing, safe keeping and application of
funds. Second the court declared
that the title of the act does not stop
with the language relied on, but
states that the putting in force of the
act is to be accomplished by the
amendment of another act relating to
school districts and funds.
The next contention that the pro
vision is invalid because. in substitute
ing the depository for the treasurer
in the exercise of the powers and the
performance of duties in relation to
the school fund, 1t in effect consti-
tutes the depository an officer. which
can not be done consistently, mas
much as county depository may be,
and in this instance is. corporation
incompetent to hold office, was also
promptly overruled.

body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as If a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time.
knew dozen families that were SO
affected.
THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.

that coffee was the direct cause Of the
insomnia from which l suffered ter
ribly, as we'll as the extreme nervous
ness and acute dyspepsia which made
life a most painful thing for me.
II had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came
when l had to face the fact, and pro.
tect myself. therefore gave up coffee
abruptly and absolutely, and adopted
Postum as my hot drink at meals.
Il began to note improvement in my
condition very soon after l took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
ually, but surely, and it was matter of
only few weeks before l found my
self entirely relieved--the nervousness
passed away, my digestive apparatus
was restored to normal efficiency. and
began to sleep, restfully and peace
fully.
"These happy conditions have con-
tinued during all of the years, and
am safe in saying that owe them en-

The lanais leading to the entrance

of Hawaiian Holly barries combined
with palms and their own natural

were fragrant with scarlet carnations
we're used in profusnon with palms,

Charles Frohman and William

Final negotia tons for a new uptown the
atre that will be the permanent home OF
an organization combining the stock COM
pary and visiting sta" system will be COM
rleted to-day by Charles FrOhman, ac-
cording 70 a statement issued from his Of
fee yesterday. The playhouse will be
known as the New American Repertoire
Theatre. Its dictatorship viii be entirely
in the hands of William Gillette.
The theatre will be operated by Mr.. Gill
lette on the principle that there are stock
plays and star plays, the first inherently
demanding performance by a we'll balanced
company. the second requiring leadership
by some well known star. Most of the
:,lavs done at the Repertoire Theatre Will
he stock PLAYS performed with stars, but
for the performance of star plays the stock
company will be retained as the supporting
cast.
The project jointly entered into by
Charles Frohman and William Gillette, will
start very modestly. In size the theatre
will seat not more than a thousand per-
sons, exclusive of boxes. The understand
ing IS that the project viii have to prove
itself self-suDporting in its first Heason for
its future continuance. Between now and
the end of the present season Mr.. Gillette
will completely formulate the plan ne in
tends to pursue in operating the New Rep
ertclre Theatre. The building itself will be
ready for occupancy by the beginning CT
