Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with
pure vegetable oils, which exert a
cleansing, soothing and purifying &C
ton upon the lower bowels, remov-
ing the distractions Of poisonous fe-
cal matter and gases and prevent
ing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free
passage from the stomach, fermenta-
ton ceases and stomach troubles
quickly disappear
George H. Mayr, for twenty years
leading Chicago druggist. cured
himself and many of his friends Of
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles
of years standing by this treatment
and so successful was the remedy he
devised that it has since been placed
in the hands of druggists all over
the country who have sold thousands
of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the
effect of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of it's remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like new person.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
is now sold here by Bell & Robinson,
and druggists everywhere.

RADICAL CHANGE IN SCHOOL
LAW.
Rural Teachers Relieved OF Burden
of Attending Summer Institutes.

One of the most effective pieces Of
public school legislation in recent
years and which becomes operative
July 4th, is the law adopted by the
Thirty-fifth General Assembly chang
ing the date of the county normal in
StituteS.
This means that the rural school
teachers throughout the state will be
relieved of the burden of attending
county normal schools during their
summer vacations and pay not only
their tuition fees but the yearly reg
istration Of certificates.
Under the provision of the new
school law the county superintendent
shall hold annually at least one, but
not more than two county Institutes
during the school year. The wages of
the teachers must continue while
they are attending institute if certi-
ficate of attendance is properly GER
titled by the county superintendent.
To defray the expenses of the
county Institutes, in addition to the
$50 received from the state and one
half of the examination fees collect
ed in the county, $50 must be paid
by the board of supervisors from the
general county lullu NV PtIi L W lin
county teachers institute fund can
be used except to pay instructors.
The county superintendent, how
ever, are authorized to conduct sum-
mer schools when deemed advisable,
but the fees collected must be turn
ed over to the county institute fund
and the warrants for the purposes OF
paying instructors shall be drawn by
the county auditor.
The new school law, which be-
comes effective Saturday and which
provides for the adjustment of nine
ty-nine county institutes in the state
reads:
THE county superintendent shall
hold annually at least one, but not
more than two, county teachers in
stitutes at such times as the schools
of the county are generally in ses-
sion, and shall, with the concurrence
of the superintendent of public in
struction procure such assistance as
may be necessary to conduct the
same.
THE school board of every school
district except in city independent
school districts where twenty-five or
more teachers are regularly employ
ed shall adjourn the school or
schools of said district for not less
than two days in each school year in
order to allow the teachers to attend
county teachers Institutes held in
the county, without loss of salary.
The county superintendent shall is
sue certificate of attendance to
each teacher showing number of days
of attendance at said institute, and
any teacher falling to attend said
teachers institute two days shall
| forfeit his or her average daily sal
airy for each day of non-attendance,
except when excused by the county
superintendent for physical disabil-
ity to perform his or her duties in the
school room"

NEW EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
LAW.
Is Engaging the Attention Of All of
Those Who Employ Labor.
Very Few Exempt,

The new employers liability law,
which went into effect the first of
July is beginning to attract the at
tract the attention Of the small en-
ployer, as it has for sometime past
the attention of those concerns en-
nloying a large number of people.
Local agents for liability companies
have been busy for the past few
weeks explaining the features of the
law, and it would seem that about
the only people who employ help
who don't need to worry about the
house wife. Both farm help and do
nestle are understood to be exempt
from the provisions Of the new law.
A mistaken impressions seems to
have arisen that concerns employing
less than five people are exempt from
the provisions Of the new law, but it
seems that such is not the case, and
that practically all employers of la
Dor are expected to either take liabil-
ity insurance, or to have notified the
state industrial commissioner thirty
days in advance of the date upon
which the law becomes operative or
intention to carry the risk themselves
and to give a substantial evidence OF
their ability to do so. IL is required
of those concerns not taking liability
insurance that they also post pla-
card in their places of business to ac-
quaint employees of the fact that the
concern is carrying it's own risk. 1t is
understood that purely clerical help
is also exempt from the provisions of
the law, and while the law makes it
compulsory to counties and cities to
take out liability insurance for the
employees that the elective officers
are exempt from its provisions.

InSlee-Snith.

On Sunday, June 81, at the home
of the brides parents occurred the
wedding of one of the best loved OF
Lannon'S many estimable young peo-
ple-Miss Anna Earlita Smith, to Mr..
Evan E. Inslee of Seattle, Washing
ton. At a. m. F. M. Smith of indie
pendence, Mo-, called the large COM
pany of relatives and friends to or
der by a timely little talk on the in
stitution of marriage and the estab-
lshment of a new home. After Mr..
Smith. Victor Krucker, accompanied
by Mrs. Leslie Wight on the piano,
sang that tender love laden song,
IF You We're There" Ebert A..
Smith then offered beautiful and
touching prayer after which the faith
err of the bride, Heman C. Smith,
called forth the rain of congratula-
tons that followed.
A dainty and delicious two course
breakfast was served by bevy OF
pretty girls, cousins of the bride and
with possible eXceptions-brides-
to-be.
Next on the lawn, came the deadly
onslaught of the camera fiends who
snapped pictures of the entire crowd,
also numerous others of the newly
weds and Observation-Disclosures.
The bride is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C.. Smith, and is
a Lamont product Of whom her home
town is especially proud. She is a
high school graduate of the class of
'09 and has been an active worker in
both the day and Sunday school for a
number of years in the capacity of
teacher. The groom is the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Inslee, of
Seattle, Washington He is city sales
man for M. Sellars, an importing
house of the same place, and is an
energetic worker in the church SER
vice in the L. D. S. branch to which
he belongs.
The brides gown was of beautiful
soft white material with something
silken about it-perhaps it was the
slip. We noticed an Overdrape of
some other dotted material of like
texture with some tatting here and
thereto tell the truth, the writer
couldn't notice the dress in detail on
account of the shining eys above it.
There were lovely gifts and while
the display of these was not remark
able as to number or costliness yet
the bride may know each one was
prompted by genuine love for herself
in the heart of the giver. Such gifts
are priceless after all.
We must mention one young gen.
tlcman who came to the wedding to
vie with the bride in popularity. This
was little Bobby Badham who with
his dusky eyes and sweet baby ways
captured the affections Of all present
and who laughted and cooed mcrrily
into many tear-wet faces. He could
not know all were thinking Of his lit
tie motner who was also a happy
bride in the selfsame scenes just one
short year ago and who is now so
grievously missed among them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Inslee departed at
noon for Seattle, stopping at Kansas
City and independence, Mo-, Denver,
Colo, and other points of interest
enroute. They will be at home after
July 5 in the Deresren Apartments,
where the good wishes of a host of
friends and relatives precede them.
The out of town guests were: Mr..
and Mrs A. NJ. Smith and family of
Brush, Colo, Mr.. and Mrs. L. H.
Horner and family, of Leon, Iowa, F.
NJ and R. C. Smith and Roger Ken
nedy of Independence, Mo-, and o.
w. Harris, of Iowa City, Iowa.
