NOT ASKING COUNTY PENSIONS
New Law Provides for UnfOrtunates
But None Has Applied.

If there are any blind or crippled
persons i'm Dickinson county who
are unable to provide for themselves
and who have been residents Of the
state Of Kansas for fifteen years,
they are entitled, under law enact
ed at the last session OF the legis-
lature, to pensions up to the sum
Of $50 per month. Apparently, how
ever, there are no such persons for
no applications have been made to
the board Of county commissioners
who are made members Of the coun-
ty pensioning board.
The new law also provides assist
ance for persons who have lost both
eyes, both hands, both feet or one
hand and one foot. To secure a PEN
sion the applicant must have been a
resident Of the county in which be
applies before the enactment Of the
law. No amount, however, in excess
Of s25 per month may be granted to
any unfortunate without a vote Of
the people. Pensions up to $25 may
be granted by the commissioners
County pensions are intended to take
the place of the aid now regularly
rendered to unfortunates. The law
does not make mandatory the grant
ing Of pensions and 1t is a matter
wholly within the power and dis
erection Of the county commission
ers.
In number Of counties through
out the state applications for pen
sions have been made. In Wyan,
dotte county. the commissioners have
refused to consider the matter Of
pensions as long as the county 4

Several applications are pending In
Hutchinson and Reno counties.

cRUMBINE SAYS No,
Solomon Merchant sim Ahead ON
Fly Paper Crusade.

Solomon, July 22.--J. o. Neil is
still selling fly paper. He stands
pat on his right to do SO. The Tri-
bune says: DR.. s. J. Crumbine Of
the state board of health says he has
not taken the matter up with the
board of pharmacy as the board is
not in his control, but he says: If !
was going to make any rule on the
subject / would rule that all the
stores in the state would be required
to handle fly poison, rather than that
the sale Of the commodity should be
limited to the registered pharma!
cists."
1t Is such rulings as this one OF
the state board of pharmacy that
tend to make the whole effort OF
pure food and drug regulation ridicu-
lous in the eyes Of the public, and
tend toward a revolt against such
laws which may result in the repeal
Of laws which are proper and regu-
lations which should be enforced.
J, Mr.. Neil has not yet been arrested
for violating orders Of Inspector
Hoffman. He is standing pat and
will resist the enforcement Of the
law, as construed by the state board
Of pharmacy. If he Is forced to
fight the matter through the courts
he will have the support of the whole
sale houses with which he does busi-
ness and also the State Retail Mer-
chants association.
