There Were Over so Auditors Of
State.

Auditor Donahey found on taking Of
fee that state bureaus, boards, com
missions, departments and institutions
were collecting In the aggregate one
million five hundred thousand dollars
yearly that was not turned into the
state treasury, and every cent Of this
vast amount was being deposited in
favored banks and paid out on private
checks Of the heads of departments
and institutions. Each head of a de-
partment or institution audited his own
bills and issued his own check on
these funds held in his own name, and
to this extent was auditor of state,
for the regularly elected auditor of
state never approved a voucher or is
sued a warrant for one cent of this
one and one half million dollars of out
side receipts before it was spent.

AS heretofore stated, the present au-
ditor of state found departments and
institutions collecting and spending
one and one-half million dollars yearly
over which the state auditor had no
control, and Of which the state treas
urer never saw penny. In addition
he found that various departments
were collecting over three million dol

mining whether all collected was turn.
principle In the collection of public
revenues that the person or board that
assesses taxes should not collect the
same. Being dangerous departure
from good public policy, the auditor Of
state began making "A strenuous de
mand that these collections be made
by the treasurer of state, who. under
the constitution, is the states collector
of taxes. After a two years fight a
law drawn up by the auditor Of state
was enacted In 1915 requiring the
state treasurer to collect all fixed
taxes and revenues Of the state ex
cept small fees. Now, departments
certify all assessments to the auditor
Of state, who transmits them to the
treasurer for collection, thus taking
an absolute and safe check on the
whole transaction. Formerly the state
was safe from loss in instances where
the officials making the collections
were honest, but now IT is safe I'm any
event, for public revenues cannot now
be diverted without certain detection.

Why Should Ohio, With Millions

One Of the most astonishing exam

that the state, with millions in her

ey between sessions Of the general as,

TO DUST MCDOWELL,

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 14--Attorney-
General Ross Collins has filed quo
warranto proceedings in the Kinds
county Circuit Court, naming Mr.. Day.
id Mcdowell, State factory inspector,
as defendant
The purpose of the proceeding is to
determine whether MIR. Mcdowell, the
resept incumbent, or Mr.. A. B. Hobbs,
of Laurel, is entitled to this office.
Mr.. Hobbs was elected by the State
board of health when that body met
in Jackson to perfect organization.
Mr.. Mcdowell declined to surrender
the office, or turn over his books and
records to Mr.. Hobbs, claiming that
he was elected for a four-year term,
and that his term does not expire I'M
til May, 1918.
Mr.. Hobbs is endeavoring, however,
to perform the duties of the office and
has opened his headquarters at Lau-
rel.
1t is expected that Judge Potter
will give hearing to the case in va
cation, in order to bring about a set
-lement as speedily as possible, as the
natter will be carried to the supreme
court for final decision.

ON THE CARE OF
THE COMPLEXION

Eva Mae Francis, the pretty actress
who is now playing in Philadelphia,
has a wides0 knowledge of beauty
secrets.
Most women know that rough winds
are destructive to beauty, and, accord
ing to Miss Francis, they should wear
veil if they are to have good skins.
Every season of the year has it's
disadvantages to good compilations"
says Miss Francis, land the utmost
care must be observed to keep the
skin free from climatic influences.
1T behooves a woman with a good
complexion to take good care of it. A
good complexion will make an ordin-
arily homely woman look attractive, SO
why not take the best care of the skin?
1t is good rule to observe that when
in doubt wear a veil No woman's skin
ought to go wrong if she is careful in
observing this precaution.
There never lived perfectly heal
thy woman with a bad skin. The
woman who eats properly will always
have a proper skin.
"As a complexion factor, fresh air
must be mentioned; this does not
mean cold air, which should be heat
ed before it is taken into the living
room. Taking cold depends more upon
stale air and draughts than upon cold
air. and the worst colds are those |
caught when one is tired and goes out !
into the air feeling tagged.
''If one is affected with delicate
skin, one should treat it before going !
out. Take just a little cold cream, |
about the size of pea, and rub it |
well in, using the rotary motion and |
rubbing gently until the entire face
is covered. Dust lightly with a good :,
powder. Then, on going out into the
air, wear a thin veil"
