that under such circumstances the
law does not impair the obligations
of a contract" Quoting further
from our supreme court decision We
find this significant language: The
contract, here, could not be carried
out without a violation of the act
of June "a, 1915, after its prOhibi-
ton became effective, and the con-
stitutiOn does not protect such a
contract from impairment. There
must be a valid contract as a basis
for invoking the constitutional pro-
hibition and it does not afford
shelter to enable a party to execute
one which is Illegal"
The laws of this state expressly
provide that public officials shall
not indulge in the improvident or
extravagant use of public funds.
and If persisted in any taxpayer
may institute proceedings to com
pei such officer or officers 10 make
recompense The appeal of this
case to the United States supreme

Time TO Stop Litigation.

Rock Island, June Editor The
Argus: May | have sufficient space
in your columns to say few words
relative to the county Jail case?
Our state supreme court has
handed down three decisions in this
case. the last two being unanimous.
and seems to have disposed of it
forever by refusing to grant a re-
opening or rehearing Isn't it about
time our supervisors came to a real
ization that the taxpayers are get
ting tired of this useless and end
less litigation? 1t is now intimated
that the county board will be asked
&c sanction an appeal to the United
States supreme court. Upon what
grounds could such an appeal be
predicated? Only upon clear and
proven grounds that constitutional
rights have been infringed upon.
The only possible question of such
nature in this case would be the
so-called Lorenz contract, and the
question of the impairment Of its
obligations The supreme court
quite effectually disposed of that
contention in the following Ian
guage: The county had notice on
June %, 1915. that it would be un-
lawful after July l, 1915. TO build
Jail within 200 feet of any building
used for school purposes, and it
knew that the building could not
possibly be constructed in six days
before the act would take effect"
The court here cites the case of the
Diamond Glue company VS.. the
United States Glue company, tried
in the supreme court of the United
States, wherein said court holds

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, S it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing TO use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for II is pure
and entirely greaseess. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required II makes an sbund-
ance of rich, creamy Iather, cleanses
thoroughly and rinses out easily The
hair dries quickly, and evenly. and is
soft fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wsvy,
and easy TO handle> Besides, Il loosens
and takes out every particle of dust
