COURT RULES ON POWER
TO ANNEX LAND BY FORCE
From a staff Correspondents

LINCOLN Nov. 15.-(Special Te!egram.)
The mere fact that any village or city
IN the state wishes to arnex land in an
other county is not a barrier to its being
forcibly taken into the limits of munich
pality, according, to decision just rend-
cred by the state supreme court
The case IN which the ruling was made
is that of Fred Utecht and others against
che town of Wakefield. The latter village
ia in Dixon county ard the land which it
sought to annex is just across the line
in Wayne county. The village in its
side of the case says that-the proximity
OF Wakefield gives the property OF Utecht
and others added value and also gives
them an opportunity to use all the public
utilities which that village has
Utecht fought the annexation on two
grounds--that village in one county
had no right to annex land in another
and that the lower court was not justified
IN holding that justice and equity de-
manded that the land be annexed

QUIT COFFEE AND TEA.
What the Great German Specialist says.

IL disappoints some people to be told
that coffee and tea cause disease. But
IL is best 10 look squarely at facts and
set the face towards health for that's
more fun than anything else anyhow.
Cincinnati man consulted Berlin
physician on nervous diseases and says:
-Four years ago | vas an habitual
coffee drlnker having used II for %
years and being naturally Of nervous
temperament / became almost nervous
wreck, greatly suffering from insomnia.
almost constantly constpated and weigh
ing only 1928 pounds,
Il consulted physicians and took medi-
cine all the time, but had no relief.
About three and half years ago / went
abroad and while In Berlin heard fire.
quently OF great physician, Prof. MSI-
del, an authority on nervous trouble, so
/ resolved TO consult him.
Prof Mendel surprised me very much
by asking at once II / was a coffee
drinker and on my telling him | used II
two or three times a day, he said, 1t Is
poison After carefully examining me he
told me there was nothing the matter
with me whatever, but what could be en-
tirely cured IN 30 days by letting coffee
and other stimulants alone and dieting.
II had hard time following his advice.
] did not know what TO do until ] came
home and told my wife who got some
Postum We tried II lllt at first did not
like II; then we went over the directions
on the package together and found we
had not boiled Il long enough
That was the beginning OF the end OF
my trouble, for tho Postum was delicious
after that and drank II regularly and II
helped from the start.
In a very short time / began TO feel
much better and In the last three years /
haven't been absent from business one
hour on account Of ill health, for my

decision Just handed down by the supreme
court In the case wnci elm Harry HaCkett,
an ll-year-old Omaha hoy, recovered dam
AGES from the Alarntu Dairy company
of that city.
Hackett and a boy friend were riding
bicycles along one Of the streets of the
states metropolis. The highway had been
narrowed by the erection Of fence
thereon, which had been built to protect
construction work then under way The
lads attempted to pass on of the. defend

panion negotiated the passage safely, but
the plaintiff was not so successful. As
he was even with the wagon the driver
turned his team Ia toward the fence with
the result that a collision occurred. The
lad was severely injured and later. sued
the company for damages. Judgment was
obtained I'm the lower court and this the
supreme tribunal affirms, with Judges
Barnes ana Fawcetc dissenting.
Ordinary Rules of ROad.
Set out in the opinion are the following
rules which the court declares should
ordinarily govern the road;
The rule as to the rights of persons
driving in the same direction in a public
road or street and seeking to pass each

Sarily block the way or crowd other
travellers to one side, and he must use
the highway i'm such a manner as not I'M
reasonably to deprive other travellers of
their equal rights to the use of the street
II is impossible TO lay down a hard and
1ast rule applicable to all situations which
may arise in the streets of a city and

the road has taken place the question
whether the defendant or his servants
