of the three youngsters and at the
further fact that a long sentence
in the Reform School awaits all of

BAN ON SEPTEMBER MORN"

Uncle Sam is getting rather par.
ticular what passes through the
mails. Picture Of women in decol-
lette costume are barred. Post
master Doughty of Elku backed by
high officials will not allow TO be
transmitted through the mails sny
copies of the now famous painting
September Morn" or any epro-
duction thereof, until the maiden
has at least a semblance of clothes
on her. Doughty thinks her cloth
ing is too scarce for public decpncy
therefore by official order he puts
a real artistic work of art out in
the cold. Other ~postofices are
doing the same thing.
The funny part of it is that
Doughty's ruling does not apply 20
the score of parodies and hurles.
ques many of which arc really a
little risque. For instance. there
is the picture Of the little negro

Matter Later On.
The eyes are meant to look both
in the same direction and thus to

help each other to walk or run.
When they do not do so there is a
squirt or u east in one OF both

Little babies squirt more or lcss

That is not a serious matter. al
though it often frightcns a young
and inexperienced mother. 1t is
generally caused by a slight dis.
turbancc of the digestion and pass

squint that appears later, when the
child is beginning to develop vision
by the constant use of the eye
muscles, must not be neglected. II
il is the unfortunate condition will
probably last through life
The eyes should work absolutely
in unison, just as two horses har.
messed to a cart ought TO pull to-
gcther. When they do not focus
on the same point nj the same time
the crooked eye soon abandons the
struggle and leaves the straight eye
to do all the work. That is unfair
to the good eve and fatal to the
other. for an eye that is not used
grows gradually blind from lack Of
exercise. Even if the squint is so
slight that the child makes an un-
conscious effort to force tho affect

JUDGE TABER RENDERS
IMPORTANT DECISION

Judge Taber has just handed
down an important decision, the
principle of which affects the whole
stats. Under the old Nevada
court practice act the court could
extend the time in motions for new
trials but under what is known as
the New Practice Act, the court is
stripped Of it power to extend
the time to make motions for new
trial, Judge Taber's decision is on
a Winnemuccn case involving the
new court practice act. The court
held that it is without power to
consider the motion for a new trial
on its merits and it must therefore
be denied.
The case on which Judge Taber
rendered his decision was that of
the Lovelock Mercantile Company
- the Chafey Mines Company.
The suit was tried at Winnemucca
with Judge Taber on the bench in
place Of Judge Quicker who was
one of the attorneys in the case.
The case went TO trial before a
and a verdict for the Lovelock
Mercantile Company was rendered
the sum of $4,000. The defend
ant then asked for an extension of
time allow I'd by law and the
'cquest was grantee but a subse-
Iuent motion for more time is de-
lied by Judge Taber basing his
decision on thC new Court Practice
act. Therefore the verdict for
$1,000 in favor Of the Lovelock
Mercantile Company. stands unless
Judge Tabcr's ruling Is up set by the
supreme Court of Nevada.
