county attorney gave rise 10 considera- ble discussion. Under the present sys- tenn the board of revenue and other county officials needing the services of an attorney employ them on fee basis. The sheriff alone of all the county off cials employs one by the year and the county pays his salary of sl0o a month.
 Mr. Gwin agreed with Mir Benuers, Mir Dickson and others that it might be better and more economical to provide for the election or appointment of county attorney, with adequate salary, and require of him that he give his full time. It is probable that the legislature will pass a bill creating the office of county attorney and requiring him to advise all county officials. including the sheriff. and to represent them in any litigation in which they may be in- volved.
 Mir. Arnolds suggestion that the county he divided into five districts, with one member of the board elected from each of the districts, did not meet with much yavor from Mir. Gwin or the other mem bes of the legislative committee.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Gwins state ment, the committee adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.

Splendid Way To
 Reduce Your Weighl

There is perhaps no other thing that so plainly shows the passing Of our youth as the horrible tendency to put on too much weight after we have reached the age of 25 or 30 years. How ever young our faces may appear, the saeging flabby figure and forty inch waist gives us away. .
 The cause of this over stoutness IS that our stomachs convert the food we eat into fat because there is not enough oxygen in the blood to produce pros per combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will be pleased to learn of a simple home method that is wonderfully efficient in reducing weight quickly and easily without starving diet. violent massage or stren,, uous exercise. Go to any drug store and get box of Phynola; take five grains after each meal and at bed time. This treatment will often give quick relief from overburdening fat. Phynola taken at meal time assists the stomach in giv- ing you the benefit of the food you eat. at the same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part of the body where there is excessive fat. By this method many have reduced their weight d pound a day and there is no fla bbiness left. Patton-Pope Qrug Go. can supply you with the genuine Phynola at a small eost--Adv.

 The club house is an Ideal location, but it lacks living quarters. so Willard and his retinue will have to select cottage as the training camp for Jess Willard, on the pay shore i'll which to eat and sleep.

Tate to Investigate the Status of Appointees of
 GOevrnor Henderson

Joseph R. Tate. circuit solicitor is making an investigation of the status of certain justices of the peace. notaries public and constables of Jefferson coun- ty at the instance of c. w. Austin, special examiner of public offices who asserts that several of these officials were exercising their duties without proper commissions.
 There seems to be a controversy in regard to the law governing the situa- tion where justices of the peace and consta bles were appointed to fill va cancies during the close of the Hender- son administration. The legal question has been raised whether or not the governor can appoint for the full term of an office when that term exceeds his own.
 MT. Tate says that all justices and consta bles who are found to be operat- ing without commissions will be re- quired to be recommissioned, and to file new bonds immediately, or steps will be taken to fill their vacancies.
