New York, July 26.-Price-fixing
commissions by the government are
the only remedy for profiteering in

of William Harmon Black. formerly

The country believes that nearly
everybody who can is profiteerine
Nearly every man is raising the price
of everything he sells. If nothing
is done to check this abnormal in
flation in prices, the stage finally
will be reached where there will be
a breaking point to relieve the ten

Suggesting the remedy Of price

Charitable Society
Advocates Farm for
Epileptic atients

The Nebraska division of the
Society for the Friendless voted at
a recent meeting to push a move
ment for the founding of a farm
colony for those afflicted with cpl
lepsy. This action was taken after
an investigation of the number of
epileptic patients at state institu-
tons, according to the Rev. J. A.
Leavitt, who was in Omaha Satur-
day.
The investigation showed that
there are 90 epileptic patients at
the Institute for Feeble Minded at
Beatrice, "a at the institute at
Lincoln, and S. at the Norfolk
asylum Dr.. w. S. Fast of the
asylum for insane at Ingleside de-
clared that there were between
500 and 700 persons suffering from
epilepsy in the state of Nebraska.
of these. approximately 100 are at
the Ingleside asylum, Dr. Fast says.
II would favor a colony for cpl
leptics," said DR.. Fast, "a sort of
community village where the men
could be employed at farm work
gardening, shoe making, brush and
broom making; and the women
could be kept busy at weaving, rug
making, fancy work, and dress max
ing. There are a few epileptics
that require constant care for whom
a hospital should be provided, as
we'll as for those who are suffering
from temporary dementia inciden,
to series of epileptic convlusions.'

cursing him.

three men who were playing cards
in the rear of the room. The men
were knocked from their chairs at
the table. They fell prostrate to the
fioor while the officers searched for
money they said was being used in
the game. No money was found
There was not the slightest evidence
of any character to indicate that the
game was other than entirely proper
and regular.
The officers spent 10 or IS min
utes cursing and abusing their vic
tins, who protested their innocence,
declaring they were only engaged in
a game of cards for simple pleasure.
Notwithstanding the absence of any
thing discriminating about the place
the men were loaded into the patrol
wagon and taken to Jail.

rushed through the front door anc
to the rear of the room. They at
tackled the three men playing card:

to the floor. They did not have

they were officers before they begar
their attack.
