Democratic Chickens
Coming Home to Roost
(From a sad correspondentl

LINCOLN. Jan. 25.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The proud boast with which
democrats pointed withp ride" at the
surplus in the state treasury has met a
bump. state Treasurer Hall is now fear
full that he will have to begin registering
warrants as the surplus in the treasury
has fallen to $4,000.
Forcing county treasurers to say
monthly into the state treasury has been
the means of keeping the treasury in
good condition, but now when in former
years, these treasurers usually have
made their annual reports which were
accompanied with large remittances,
none has ben forthcoming and the result
is tough on the treasury.
This and the fact that the democratic
state board of assessment took n
chance" for sweet politics sake, and cut
down the state levy one mill over the
protest OF the state treasurer. is respon-
sible for the loss in revenue of $4,000
this year, and has demonstrated that the
economical policy of the legislature is
not panning out and that there must
be sufficient revenue to run the state
or warrants will have to so to the dis
count.

YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
To STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is a tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The darling pains, lame muscles or
stiffened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil-food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
a powerful blood-purifier by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry of the acids which
cause the trouble.

ectly what you need. No Alcohol.

NEY-STAPLETON LINE
TO GET MORE SERVICE

KEARNEY, Neb., Jan. 25.-(Special Tel
eeram. 1.-The scheduled hearing OF the
Nebraska State Railway commission
booked for Kearney. January 26. is off.
This was the word received here today
after a request for indefinite postpone
ment coming from Edison Rich of the
Union Pacific law department.
Officials of the railroad were in COM
munication with the Omaha offices dur
ing this morning after an inspections of
conditions on the Kearney-Stapleton
branch. Changing service on this line
was the cause for.the hearing =.
IL had been proposed that an appafent
freight congestion be relieved by adding
another freight with passenger facilities
and the taking off of one motor each
day, This move could not be made with
out the sanction of the board, which they
would not grant without hearing.
It is thought hero that the inspection
by the officials indicated the need OF
additional freight service without taking
off the motor and that this will be the
result.
If any changes are made, according to
local railroad men, they will be made only
after the citizens affected come TO some
amicable settlement with the road.

lrrom sad Correspondentl


LINCOLN, Jan. 2.-(SpeciaL THE lat
est Improvement suggested to beautify
the appearance of the grand and ancient
edifice sometimes called the Nebraska
state house has been suggested by Labor
Commissioner Coffey who is of the opln-
ion that he can't, as a representative Of
the state. order fire escapes on buildings
unless the state itself carries out the law
and puts fire escapes on the state house.
He says he frequently faces the PROPOSE
ton when endeavoring to make people
live up TO the law and cover their build
ings with these beautiful ornaments.
Therefore he Is preparing to go before
the board at its next meeting and see II
the state won't comply with it's own law.
However, il is the general opinion that
the state house needs no fire escapes.
Should the inmates of the building be
shut off from escape by the usual chan
nels 1t would be practically easy for them

Many Cases of
Rheumatism Now
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and Eat
Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots OF water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally TO keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid. which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into the
blood 1t is the function Of the kidneys
to filter this acid from the blood and
cast IT out in the urine. Tho pores of
tho skin are also q means OF freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp and
chilly, cold weather the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric
acid which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system. eventually
settling in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness. soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad salts; put tablespoonful in a
glass OF water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This Is
said to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to normal action. thus
Kidding the blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice. combined with lithia and Is
used with excellent results by thousands
of folks who are subject to rheumatism
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent

IL is pretty we'll understood that Gov
eFnor Morehead does not want ~ run
for a third term. He understands that
he has everything to lose and nothing
to gain by such action. 1t is also pretty
well understood that the governor would
like to be a candidate for the United

Norris two years hence. and he does not
care to go against a fight which might
break his long record of political VIC
tories. believing that a defeat for the
third term would greatly harm his pres

the democratic nomination for the sena-

IT is suspected that the governor feels
great deal like many other prominent

chaotic condition in the democratic party,
the best thing TO do is to take to the
woods for a couple of years and let the
republicans go back to the offices.
