The government charged her with
keeping books for the ring in its
disposal Of carload lots Of illicit

and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit
for dessert.
That's all you do. Fat seems to
melt away. The coarse lines of over
weight give wayAto the refined ones
of slenderneSs. You lose as much as
a pound day. You feel better than
for years. For in this treatment
you achieve two important results.
The Jad Salts clear your system of
toxins. *The diet takes off fat with
food that turns to energy instead
of weight.
If you're tired of being embar-
raised by fat, try this way. You'll
be glad that you did. You can get
Jad Salts at any drug store.
*Note particularly-the salts are
urged purely as a poison -banisnine
agent-not as a reducing. The
change in food does the work.-Ad.

CORONER FUND
I CLAIMS WORRY
COUNTY HEADS
They Don't Know Where to
Get Money TO Pay for
= VehIing AutopSies.


Why is County Coroner Fred w.
vehling spending his autopsy APP
preparation so fast?
This is the question raised to-
day by county commissioners and
County Auditor Harry Dunn, after
Vehling submitted claims for S1,050
TO pay autopsy bills from March
to the middle of May.
The conundrun, however, is slight
in comparison with a more prac-
tical problem that must be solved.
This is-where will autopsy funds
be obtained TO run the coroner's Of
fee the rest Of the year? Vehl-
ing already has spent $3.50
Asks Additional Funds
After exhausting his $1,000
autopsy budget, first appropriated
by the council, Vehling applied for
an additional Sl,725 Last week
the council pared this to $500,
which was to pay for autopsies
until the council meets again in
September.
When the 81 $50 in present claims
are paid from the 81, 500, the coroner
will have only $3.50 to care for his
summer business.
Claims for s1,050 we're allotted
rs follows; Doctors Emil G.. Winter,
$500; Roy A, Geider, $125; Earl M.
Rooms, $3.50 Henry R. Alburger,
-s225; Clarence N. Harris, SIPS, and
Oscar D. Ludwig $25.
Vehling has been told by the
council that he must cut his ex-
pense as much as possible. This
mtimatum was delivered when Fred
Barrett, attorney for Vehling, APP
peared before the body with a re-
quest for additional money.
Adopt New Policy
Barrett. at that time, declared
that, following an Investigation of
excessive expenditures in the coro-
ner's office. due to precedents fol-
lowed for twenty years, Vehling had
adopted policy that would save
the county $4,000 year.
This is being accomplished, Bar
rett declared, by firing an Office con-
stable, who was not allowed by law
and by reducing the pay Of an Of
flee clerk from SO to So day. This
Office clerk makes extra money by
doing outside" stenographic work,
1t is reported.e
At its last meeting the council,
supporting its stand that expenses
must be slashed, denied Vehling
S25 for postage and cut 1920 print
ing request to 500.
The investigation of irregular
practices in the coroner's office was
conducted by The Times, and
brought from Vehling promises to
change conditions and end graft
that was barred in the probe.

NEAR BANKRUPTCY

Ell PASO, Texas, July l. U.D -
An Ell Paso Herald Post Dispatch
from Chihuahua City. Mexico, today
said bankruptcy of the city was
forecast by political leaders there
when demands were made by mer-
chants and citizens that Governor
Andres Ortiz appoint city inspector
to investigate municipal debts.
The dispatch said it had been
learned that a threatened strike of
police, who had not been paid in
the last % days, was averted when
Governor Ortiz donated 1000 pesos
of his personal salary to be dis
tributed among them.
Threats of the electrical company
supplying the city with power to
cut their lines probably will be car
ried out, the dispatch added. The
city, it was said, owes the company
81 900 pesos.
Other city debts include 300 pesos
for hospital bread: $4,000 pesos bor-
rowed from the state to install a
water publication system, and sew
eral large sums for machinery and
supplies bought from local mer-
chants.

They made no attempt to interfere
with the guests and with the re-
moval of the bartenders the merri-
ment proceeded.
