II must be very careful not TO
get fooled said the rabbit gentle
man to himself, who was hopping
around with an old straw hat on
his head, his ears sticking out OF
holes in the top Over his pink
nose he wore a false face which
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy had made
for him out of an apple pie.

BURYING INDIGENTS

DECENT comment by Tom Hancock,
II editor of the Westmorland Mail, GEN.
tiers attention on the contract which I'M
perial county has for the burial of its
INDECENT dead
This contract, executed two years ago,
provides for payment of one cent by the
county for each burial made by the coun-
ty undertaken.
While it is highly desirable that the
utmost economy should be praised, even
as far back as two years ago, one may
rightly question if economy has not been
carried entirely too far in this particular
instance.
Respect for the dead is one of the
fundamental ideals of mankind Even
the most untutored savages accorded the
most profound respect for those who had
answered the final summons.
Among civilized people the custom has
been even stronger. We uncover in the
presence of the dead and show by other
outward signs our respect for them.
1t appears to border closely on the
blasphemous to make and carry out
contract that calls for any human being
to be buried for the price of one cent.
What if it is some poor devil, buffeted
about by the world, without kith or kin
or holding friends who can give him
decent burial?
The contract provides that the de-
ceased shall be buried in an individual
grave in a we'll established and well
cared for cemetery-be suitably clothed
for persons dying in such circumstances
and be placed in we'll made box.
1t may be that even under this con-
tract the proper respect is being shown
for the dead = but few citizens will
concede that it adds anything to Imper-
ial county's prestige to be known as
place where the unwanted dead are bur-
led for the smallest sum in our none
tary system.
Nor should it be surprising if abuses
creep in under the contract-in fact they
should be expected; anything cheap
breeds cheapness and certainly this par
ticular contract is cheap in the most eX-
IRENE degree. 1t reflects credit on none
concerned with it.

, Salaries in the office of the
treasurer and commissioner of
revenue of Arlington county we're
revised today by the county COM
misSioners in an effort to COM
pensate for salary cuts ordered
by the Virginia state Legislature.
Salaries of both officials,
Charles T. Jesse, treasurer and
Harry K. Green, commissioner,
wero raised to $1,000 per annum,
which when affected by the cut
would return to $500, the former

third of the salaries are paid
by the State.
Wages of clerks in both offices

The board of commissioners will
notify the State Fee Commission

Piles CoQuick
Without salves or Cutting

 | Thousands of sufferers from itch- ing, bleeding or protruding piles have learned that quick and perma- nent relief can only be accom- lplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor cutting remove the cause.
 Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak-the parts almost dead. To end Piles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the cir culation, heal and restore the af- fected parts.
 Dr. J. s. Leonhardt was the first to discover real internal Pile remedy. He caled his prescription HEM -ROID, and prescribed it for 1000 patients with the marvellous record of success in 960 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID tablets from their own druggist with a rigid money back guarantee. Dr. Leonhardt's HEM-ROID has an almost unbelievable record of success right in this city. So why waste time on external treatments or worry about an operation when Juneau Drug Go. invites every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROID with guarantee of money-back if it does not end their Piles, no matter how stubborn the case? adv.
