.LESH DELIVERS
SCHOOL RULING
Legalizes Meetings of County
Superintendent at COun-
= ties Expense.

The State superintendent Of public In
struction may call meetings of county
superintendent, the expenses Of the SUI
perintendents to be paid by the counties
L. s. Lesh. attorney general, ruled to-
day. A bill authorizing the calling of
such meetings failed to pass the Legls-
latqre, but Mr.. Lesh ruled that add
tiOnal legislation is not necessary.
He called attention 10 his ruling to the
law which provides that county super
intendents shall be under the direction
of the State superintendent and to the
law which allows maximum Of $50 q
month and not more than $500 year for
travelling expenses for the surerintendents
In this connection he called attention to
the fact that the new law does not apply
specifically to expenses within the
county.
NJ. LeSh also ruled that it is neces-
sary for the State board Of education to
adopt a textbook on industrial arts
within a reasonable time. He said the
fact that no suitable book has been Of
fered may be just cause for delay. The
question of whether the board is re-
quired to adopt such book was up for
discussion at the last meeting

BETTER Than CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are tn result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense Of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids It is best not to
take calomeL Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy' and
heavy" They clear clouded brain
and ''perk up" the spirits l5c and 3oc.

Push Jail Plumbing
in Face of Criticism

The County commissioners today were
prepared to go forward with the plumb
ing improvements at the Marion County
Jail in face of criticism said to have
been made by the State board of ac-
counts. Some days ago the commission
ers awarded a contract for the installing
and repairs of Jail plumbing for approx
mately $4,000.
According to Commissioner Harry Tute-
wiler the members Of the State board Of
accounts are of the opinion that the
commissioners Illegally awarded the con-
tract as sufficient time was not given for
advertising the opening of bids.
Commissioner Tutewiler claims that the
commissioners are acting under a writ
ten okier from Judge James A. Collins
to cary out the recommendations of the
grand jury that the plumbing conditions
at the Jail be remedied. Mr.. Tutewiler
states that this order is ON file and the
commissioners are obeyfng Il.

was continuation of the one adjourned
last week at the request Of Mr.. Ashby
ID opened with Mr.. Ashby's cross-exami
nation of Mr.. Forrest and when the COM
mission adjourned at noon the crOssex-
animation had not been completed.
TESTIFIEs AS
TO COAL PRICES.
Mr. Ashby opened his cross -examina-
ton with questions as to how prices
given in the cempany's inventory were
arrived at. The questions led to the rev.
elation that there has been an enormous
shrinkage Of prices, but that this shrink
age has been counteracted to some extent
by increased freight rates
The questioning revealed the fact that
the company is paying only IS ton for
high volatile coal and 81 ton for Poca-
hontas. The freight rate, according to
the testimony, amounts to SO a ton. Mr..
Forrest testified that during the period
Of high prices the company paid as high
as S11 a ton for high volatile coal at the
mines. He expressed the opinion that
coal prices viii increase to some extent
within Il short time. He testified that
the company had charged off $207, 225 as
loss on the shrinkage of the value of coal
in the bins.
The question of the operation of the
company's own mine In West Virginia
also came up. 1t was stated that the
company Is paying the subsidiary COM
pany which operates the mine the cost
Of mining each ton plus 81. 1t was stated
that at this rate the company is obtain
ing coal for a price lower than it can
buy it on the market, although this mine
supplies a comparatively small proper
ton Of the coal used in the manufac-
ture of gas. Mr. Forrest stated that even
with the 81 margin the gas company is
making no profit from the subsidiary
company because Of the necessity for ad-
ditions and improvements which must be
continually made.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE

The evangelist paid tribute to General
Booth that wonderful old man who with
the aid OF a band of conscientious work

think you are too big to do that, you

Women Must Lay
Aside Smokes in
Wooden Capitol

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March "a.
Women employees in the various
State departments now housed in the
temporary capitol must lay aside
their cigarettes in accordance with
an order issued by the State board
of public works, barring all smOk
ing in the building.
According to State Treasurer John
c. Bond, who is also a member of
the board, the women and girl en-
ployes have been smoking while at
work as freely as men.
The building, which is constructed
entirely of wood, was erected fol-
lowing the destruction of the old cap
itol by fire in January.
The smoking order does not
affect the Legislature, which is hold
ing its sessions in the county court
house.

that no one can be saved unless they are

pulpit where he could shake the hands
Of the evangelist whom he could hear
