Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons In meats, fish, frIiss,
: vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miserics.
A sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and neu-

Prince Charles Sacrifices Crown
for His Sweetheart.
Tells Father "Thrones Are So
Unstable Nowadays"

Amsterdam. Sept. 26.--In answer to
pleas that he desert his bride of hum
BILE birth, Crown Prince Charles of
Rumania has replied that thrones are
so unstable nowadays that he pre-
ferred the certainty of his having the
wife he wanted to the chance of los
ing the succession.
The escapade of the crown prince jim
going to Odessa and marrying CeciIfe
Lambring. the daughter of major in
the Run1anian army, reopens the
question. of the Rumanian dynastic
succession. When King Ferdinand
heard of the marriage he ordered that
the crown prince be given seventy-five
DAYS solitary confinement for absent
ing himself without leave from his
garrison.
King Ferdinand also sent an ennis
sary to Bender, Bessarabia. where the
young couple are spending their
honeymoon, with instructions to try to
undo the nupt.al but to no avail.~TThe
bride refused to part with her wedding
ring and the crown prince declined to
leave her.
Crown Prince Charles has not yet
voluntarily renowned his rights of
succession and the king is reported to
be very angry. The Rumanian consti-
tuition does not contain clause bar
ring a morganatically married crown
prince from succession to the throne.
The present case has a piquant feat
ure in that it recalls that King Ferdi-
nand in his youth had love affair
with Helene Vacaresco, his mothers
lady of honor. Premier Catargiu
threatened to resign if the king did
not veto the proposed union and it
came to nothing. Should Crown Prince
Charles renounce his rights of success

fifteen years old and physically weak.

SCOTT HOLDS PLACE
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
in CoffeyvilEc School Case.

In the custer case brought to de-
termine who is superintendent of city
schools of Coffeyville, the supreme
court today decided that Thomas F.
Scott had never been removed from
office by any action of the board of
education and still had the right to
hold the office.
The board OF education tried to act
on the authority of bylaw adopted
in 1913 to the effect that the term OF
office of the superintendent shall
continue during the pleasure of the
board" The court finds that this by
269 of the laws of 1911, section 4.
which provides that the tenure of
office of the superintendent be, fixed
for a term of one or two years as
the board may choose" and that on
account of such conflict that the by
law is void.
The court holds further that the
superintendent is a public officer and
also an employee of the board. and may
be removed for incompetence, negli-
gence or immortality, after notice and
q fair hearing, but that the board
never made any charge except that he
was out of harmony with the board,
and this not being one of the statu-
tory grounds and there having been
no notice given nor a fair hearing had,
the action of the board in declaring
the office vacant was void. =
The court ruled further that the
election of William Sinclair, with
whom the board attempted to fill
SCOTS place as superintendent, was
without authority and void, for the
reason that there was no vacancy to
fill
