some of the children afflicted with smallpox

Other mils Are Con.
tracted by Hoard.
Referring to the statement published by
County Auditor 8mlth relative to the ex
pense of conducting and maintaining the
county Jail, Sheriff John Power makes tho
following statement:
When I took charge of the sheriff's office
and of the county Jail my predecessor, Mc
Donald, was receiving 45 cents ier day for
each prisoner confined in the county Jail.
That same rate per day has been continued
ever since. That 45 cents per day covers
the entire expense of feeding the prisoners.
pay all bills for every particle of food
furnished the prisoners and the county has
not been to any additional expense for feed
ing them since I have been sheriff. In addi
tion to that I have been compelled to fur
nish all cooking utensils, pay the salary
of the cook and all help in the kitchen, and
have also been compelled to furnish the
fuel used In the kitchen. All this at my
own expense. I have made a careful ex
amination, and have not found another In
stance In any city where the Jailer has been
compelled to pay for the fuel used in the
kitchen.
'The additional expense connected with
the Jail, such as repairs to the Jail, cloth
ing and medicine for the prisoners, is some
thing I have absolutely nothing to do with.
The repairs to the Jail and clothing for the
prisoners are all ordered by the county
board on the recommendation of the com
mittee on Jail. All medicines are ordered
by the county physician. When iothlng or
medicines are sent to the county Jail one
of my employes receives It and receipts
for It, but we have nothing to do with the
ordering of these supplies.

For Tenchera nn stndenta.
Many teachers and students are looking
for pleasant employment during the sum
mer months. They feel that It Is necessary
for them to have some practical business
experience to properly balance their train
ing and to keep them, so to speak, from
becoming lop-sided.
It Is practlcully Impossible for them to
obtain an office position for so short a
time. There are, however, unlimited oppor
tunities as salesmen or solicitors, and this
kind of work, If well selected, Is more
practical and usually more profitable.
In selecting this work there are certain
qualifications that must always be con
sidered. The proposition must be meritori
ous that is, the article must be actually
worth to the purchaser the price charged.
It should not be exclusively a luxury, but
should possess some element that makes It
a necessity, either In tho business or house
hold of the purchaser. The work should
be dignified and of a nature that will com
mand the respect of tho people, thus giving
the salesmun a prldo In the business he is
following.
Salesmanship or agency work with The
Twentieth Century Farmer of Omaha,
Neb., has all of these qualifications and Is
usually profitable. They give employment
each summer to a large number of teach
ers and students.

BEER.
This renowned brew has been made for over fifty years from the
choicest malting barley harvested in fertile Wisconsin and the rarest
hops that beautiful old Bohemia can grow. As you drink it down a
sense of complete satisfaction steals over you. "PEERLESS" is
remarkably wholesome and strengthening alive with health and
tonic properties. Hence the ablest physicians recommend it for
anaemics and convalescents because they know that it abounds with
healthful, invigorating qualities. "Its fragrant tang and Bparkle is
the life of the barley crop, and its amber glow and glory is the glint
of the golden hop." Bottled at the brewery. Sold everywhere.
Ask for It by name and Insist on getting It. Why not test it?
Go to the telephone, call up our agent and order a trial case delivered
to your home this very day.. Its name describes it, "a beer without
a peer." Try it and see.
