The Capitol removal bill, whicl
comes dip as q special ord to-lnLr-
row afternoon. has, unlike two years
ago, made as much noise. or created
as much interest the state over. 1t is
under stood that the Humboldt dele
gat.on has been asking Tor compli-
mcntary vote from other delegations,
while they do not hope II pass the
amendment, yet they hope Tor cred
table showing The Humboldt boys
have this year toted fair and while
they set up their claim. have not made
others compromise themselves in the
issue. The people OF Humboldt can
feel satisfied that they have made 4

changing the Capitol from Carson
City to Winnemucca is one that
should be considered seriously and
not as joke as was the one two

TO say we will pass the amedment
although we know the people Will
vote it down, is virtually saying we
will now take twenty or thirty per
cent off the value OF all Carson prop
erty for the next two or tour years,
because we know the people will re-
store it some time in the future. w"
do not believe any member ot the
present Legislature will do this. bui

In Summer time when lighter foods
are most prevalent, it is particularly
necessary that you get the full bene-
tit of all the nOurishment your food
contains. 1t is a well-knOWn fact, too.
that people are more careless about
what they eat and drink during warm
weather than at any other time OF the
year Chilling draughts of icy cold
water are constantly retarding the
organs of digestion, which often cause
serious illness Sometimes it seems
that there must be a secret regard
ing the invariable good health of q
few in comparison to the many who
there is For over fifty years Duffy'S
