CORN REMEDY Is
LADEN WITH GERMS
Woman's Foot Badly Swollen
After Using It; Police Be-
lieve Omaha Center
of Plot.

"There is no question in my mind
an organized effort is being made to
spread germs into the homes Of
Omaha" remarked Acting Captain Of
Detectives John Dunn, after seeing
the effect of a bottle of corn remedy
used by Sadie Smith.
The entire police force Of Omaha
is on the lookout for what is believed
to be an organized plot to distribute
deadly disease bacilli over the entire
United States. From reports coming
in it is believed that the perpetrators
of the organization have their head
quarters in this city.
Not only is court plaster being sold
in the homes by itinerant peddlers,
but reports are now coming In that
corn remedies are being distributed
in the homes. City physicians have
sample Of the corn remedy sold
which they are analyzing.
Sadie Smith, who is employed in
the O'Brien Quick Lunch at ZIG South
Thirteenth street, called on police
surgeons yesterday to have them ex-
anime her foot, upon which she had
used corn remedy sold her. The foot
was swollen until it was impossible
for her to wear shoe. They are
unable to tell as yet the nature Of the
disease. .
She describes the man who sold
her the medicine as a man about as
years old and five feet six inches tall,
weighing 170 pounds. He was dark
completed wearing dark suit and
straw hat. He was wearing goggles
at the time.
Police officials are doing all in their
power to locate the place from which
these men operate and desire that any
person solicited to buy remedies of
this nature, inform them at once in
order that thew NAV investigate.

In Rapides parish and a few
other parishes of the State Dip
ping vats have been dynamited,
which will do no good, and these
vats will be replaced and cat
tie will be dipped to free them of
the tick. Persons who are guilty
of this should be found out by all
means and severely punished.
Tick fever cattle is a great detri-
ment to their health and growth,
and has been proven that the pa
rishes that are free of the tick cat
tie bring a much higher price on
the market. There should be no
leniency given to person who defy
the law in such q manner. - The

-One-6fth of the sweet potato
crop of the southern states-10,-
100000 bushels of the average
crop of 5O,OO0,OOO-is lost annual
ly by decay. Careless handling at
harvest time and improper storage
cause almost the entire loss. To
save these 100000 bushels to
the food supply this year and also
take care of the probable increase
in production is the object of ef-
forts specialists of the United
States department of agriculture
are making to induce growers in
the south to prepare ll-ordered
storage houses as soon as possible
for the coming harvest.

Declines To Act In
Martin Bond Case.
New Orleans Daily States.

Baton Rouge, La, June 90
Governor Pleasant has declined to
take any steps attacking the bond
OF Wade o. Martin, sheriff of St.
Martin parish.
1t seems that after Mr.. Martins
defeat as Democratic candidate
for Congress against Whit Martin,
the Progressive, the police jury of
St. Martin made an attack on the
bond Mr.. Martin had given as
sh erif.
District Attorney Emile Vuille-
mont claimed the bond was not
solvent, and 30 advised the police
jury. The matter was put up to
the governor last night by L. M.
Fournet, president of the police
jury OF st. Martin, and District
Attorney Vuillemont, and the
Governor declined to take action
testing the bond. The governor is
the only one who can take this
action.

Under the Constitution as it
now stands the people of every
State have full power to regulate
the manufacture and sale of all
alcoholic liquors. They can Ii
cense it, they can restrict it,
they may prohibit it as they
please. That is how it should be.
That is how it must be if the
fundamental principles of the
Government of the United
States are not to be overthrow
and the Federal authority made
the dictator of the personal hab-
its of every man, woman and
child in the United States.
Nationwide Prohibition could
never be enacted by the votes
of the American people them
selves. It's only chance lies in the
acquiescence of thirty-six State
Legislatures which actually rep
resent a minority of the popula-
ton of the country. In the adop-
ton of a constitutional amend
ment, Nevada, with a popula-
ton of 1913 1000, counts as much
as New York, with a population
of 10000, 900, and Wyoming,
with a population of $4,000,
counts for as much as Pennsyl-
vania, with $500, 900.
The evils of drink, the iniqui-
ties of the saloon, have nothing
to do with this question. We
are dealing with a fundamental
issue of government, and no gov
eminent that the world has hith-
eric known has been strong
enough even in time of war to
impose its absolute will upon the
people subject to it in respect
to what they shall eat and what
they shall drink and their ordi-
nary manner of life. Nor can it
be done in the United States
by the fiat of thirty-six State
Legislatures acting under the
whip of a Prohibition.-The
