Beckmann Says Auditors
Job Is Most Useless One
(From a Staff Correspondent }


Lincoln, Dec. 12.-(Special. 1.-The
recommendation of State Auditor
Smith that the land commissioners
department should be consolidated
with the auditors department does
not meet with favor by Land Com
missioner Fred Beckman, who comes
back with recommendation that if
any department of the state needs
to be consolidated with other depart
ments, it is that of the state auditor.
Mr.. Beckman says that the insur-
ance department has been divorced
from the auditors Office and that suit
for divorce could equally be brought
to separate the department Of ex-
animation of county treasurers from
the auditors Office and give it to the
State Banking board. He would place
the secretary of the Board of Equali-
zation with the land commissioner, as
the duties of the Office have much to
do with land business, and this he
insists would leave nothing in the
auditors office but business of legal
nature and that should be taken over
by the legal department of the>state
in the attorney generals Office, where
there are three deputies, one of whom
could look after that work.

tions for clemency for applicants who

for second decree murder in Sioux

executive clemency Pickrell killed his
wife. Mrs. Pickrell, the evidence
showed, was associated with women
of unsavory reputation and with men
OF the same stamp and this so worked

killed her. He was p years old at
the time and has served about five
years. The judge before whom he was
tried and several others have asked
the governor to grant clemency.
-, Terry Liggett, who is serinv time
on statutory charge, has been
recommended for clemcncy. The
crime was committed in Thurston
county and both, the man and the girl
were anxious to get married, but the
father of the girl refused to allow
his daughter to marry the man and
a petition signed by 500 residents of
Thurston county, backed up by the
county attorney and the sheriff and
also by the judge of that district,
asks that clemency be granted. !
Carl Huston sent up from Platts-
mouth for stealing seine from the
owner, is recommended for clemency
backed by the request of the county
attorney of Cass county andother Of
iicials.
All three of these men have been

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE


Cstarrh is such an ipsidious disease and
has become SO prevalent during the past
few years that its treatment should be un-
derstood by all.
Science has fully proved that Cstarrh is
constitutional disease and therefore re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, in
halers. salves and nose douches seldom if
ever give lasting benefit and often drive
the disease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deaf
ness or head-noises, go to your druggist
and get one ounce of Parmint Double
Strength. Take this home and add to it
v pint Of hot water and ounces of granu-
lated sugar; stir until dissolved, take one
tablespoonful times day.
This will often bring quick relief from
the distressing head-noises, clogged nostrils
should open. breathing become easy. and
mucus stop dropping into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic action
which makes it especially effective in cases
where the blood has become thin and weak.
1t is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs
little. Every person who wishes to be free
from this destructive disease should give
this treatment trial.-Advertisement-

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before 1t is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form Of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount Of
indigestible material, which II not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
II you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate
in 1t, which is a harmless means Of
washing the waste material ard toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,

digestion Of the food you eat. It in
vigorates the liver regulates the bow

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is absolutely free from alcohol and
injurious drugs. It's ingredients print
ed on wrapper. You can be certain It
is a true blood-maker. tissue-buiIder,
and restorative nerve tonic and that
it will produce no evil after.effect.

ach.
Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake up with a
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are as
sured Of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrates
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses purifies and freshens the skin
on the outside, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the inside Or
gans. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more Inn
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood. while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty Of their complexion should just
try this for a week and notice results.
