In this chest you have an ex-

bruises, sprains, stiff neck, back

these ailments are symptoms,
not diseases, and are caused by

you doubt, ask those who use
Sloan's Liniment, or better still,
buy a % cent bottle and prove

One OF the most important changes
IN the statutes Of West Virginia made
by the recent legislature was that re.
latlng to insane people and their com.
mltment and care. This laws goes into
effect on May 20, and effects radical
changes in the old lunacy procedure,
removing the right Of commitment
from the hands of the magistrate and
placing it in the hands Of a county
'lilacy commission composed in each
county Of the president of the county
court, the prosecuting attorney and
the county clerk, before whom all
lunacy Investigations must be con:
Quoted. Heretofore lunacy commit
ments have been made by justices OF
the peace and it has been charged
that the practice has in many places
and many instances been grossly
abused so that senility was some
times represented as insanity ana
people were committed to hospitals
who had no claim upon the state fol

Dr. Guthrie, or Huntington, and DR..

was discussion of the changing of
the rue: and regulations of the sew
eral state hospitals to make them con.
form with the provisions Of the new
law which differs in several material
points, besides that on commitment.
from the one now in effect.
For instance, it has heretofore
been necessary for the board Of con-
troll to act officially before a patient
might be discharged from one of the
hospitals, This power is now vested
IN the medical staff Of the institution
in which tn persn affected is an in
mate.
Formerly, If patient escaped, a
warrant for his arrest could only be
issued by the president Of the state
hCar Of control. Now this power is
vested in the superintendent Of the
institution.
Two Of the provisions of the new
law are regarded as especially wise
and humane. The first is that. under
certain conditions patient may be
admitted to one of the hospitals up-
on his volition and without the neces-
sity of a lunacy inquest The second
IS that in proper cases patients may
be paroled without the formality of a
discharge. 1t is also provided that
patients may be released on bond
without application to the board OF
control as heretofore.
The new lunacy commission must
serve without pay. Warrants may be
issued by any member Of the commits
sion, but at least two Of the three
must sit in each Investigation.

MAN THRICE WE'D
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Little Rock, Aug. 25.-John Bean,
Little Rock street railway conduc
tor, shot himself near the heart with
suicidal intent Tuesday afternoon, at
his home near the union station. He
was removed to the city hospital,
where the physicians said there was a
fighting chance for him to recover.
Bean had been with the street car
company for several years, and was
at one time also on the police force.
He had been married three times. His
first wife is dead His second had
been in the state hospital, and they
were subsequently divorced, the court
giving her $40 a month alimony. AZ
the best, he could not make more than
S81 a month. About three weeks ago
he married a third time. His finan-
cial burden was too great for him,
and he sought relief in death.
In a statement made to Manager
Griffith of the street railway compa-
nv he asked that the insurance of ST.
900 which the company pays the de-
pendents of an employee who dies IN
the service, be paid to his twin boys

SEEK PARDON FOR
CONWAY CONVICT

Petitions are being circulated here
asking for the pardon of Thomas
Qualls, convicted in the Conway coun-
ty circuit court and sentenced to serve
10 years in the penitentiary for the
alleged murder of his wife, in 1911.
Qualls was paroled some months ago
and now seeks full pardon. He was
charged with having poisoned his
wife, causing her death. The petit
ton recites that the conviction was
a mistake and was due to the fact
that an incorrect report of an autop-
sy made upon the dead woman was
allowed to reach the jury. The au-
topcy, it is stated, showed only min
ute quantities of poison in the wom-
ans stomach, and two physicians aft
erwards stated that they had been
administering small doses of strych-
nine to her as a tonic.

NEW CHILD LABOR ACT
IS WORKING HARDSHIPS
COMMISSIONER FORCED TO DE-
NY PETITIONS FOR chill
DREN TO WORK.

Little Rock, Aug. 25.-It seems diff
fcult for the people to become thor
oughly familiar with the require
ments of the child labor law Not
day passes that the commissioner is
not asked to issue perits which are
specifically prohibited by the law.
Under no conditions is he permitted
to issue permit for a child under IA,
but scarcely day passes that he is
not requested to do so. And often his
refusal works a hardship on worthy
citizens, and denies employment to a
boy in acatio nvwho would be much
letter off employed than idle.
But the law says: mo child under
the age of Ia shall be employed or
permitted to work in any remunera-
tive occupation in this state, except
that during school vacation children
under IA years may be employed by
theeir parents or guardians in occu-
p&tions owned or controlled by them"
To issue such permit would subject
the commissioner to fine of So to
800, and similar penalties are pre-
scribed for any one who employs such
child.

DEBT OF COUNTY
SLIGHTLY LARGER

An increase of $2,481.45 in the
amount of floating scrip of Faulkner
county is shown in the annual finan-
cial statement by County Clerk J. A.
Lea, which is published in the weekly
edition of the Log Cabin Democrat
today. The total floating scrip at the
close of business June 80, 1915, was
s46,212.99, as compared with $43,-
731.54 when the scrip was reissued
May II, 1914.
The increase is due to unusually
heavy circuit court expenses, during
the past year, including the cost of
holding special term form the trial
of Lee Blount Another large item
in the allowances of the past year
was those made for the construction
of the Cadron bridge at Gleason.

DONALD R. AcKL1N HoNoRED

The youngest men ever appoint
ed on the State Board of Agricul-
ture. is Mr.. Donald r. Acklin, of
Perrysburg. He is but 30 years of
age but is one of the, best posted
men in his line of business i'll the
state of Ohio.
Horses are hobby of Mr.. Ack-
| lin. Also they are money-maker.
He raises hackneys and Pcrcher-
ons on his big farm, near Perrys-
burg. and sends his pure FLOODED
stock to many states. lie raises
pedigreed Jersey cattle and York
shire swine also, which he sells
only for breeding purposes and at
fancy prices.
But the horses are his favorites
and he has reputation of know
! ing more about horsehesh than
any young farmer i'll the state.
Much of this knowledge Acklin
got at Ohio State University S
College of Agriculture from which
he was graduated in 1908, He
made" the college horse judg
ing team which was awarded a
trophy by the French government
for accurate judging. Now he is
Judge much sought after by
horse shows throughout the
country.
