LINCOLN A number of tho law
makers who helped to' onact tho rey

Interested In tho outcome of tho caso.
Several of them have called upon Gov
ernor Mickey and urgeS him Bhould
tho Huprome court decide ngnlnst tho
law, to call nn extra session of tho leg
islature for tho purpose of passing n
bill that would not bo unconstitu

this lino could bo flono at tho next
session of the legislature because a
Unitod States senator Is to bo elected
and tho mnttcr wllf tako up most of
the llmo of the nssombly. They who
want the extra session believe It will
bo tho only way to socuro revision of
tho old revenue law. Tho governor
Indicated that In alt probability ho
would call an extra session In that
event.

grcgatlng $9,000 were forwarded to the.
various state Institutions. Neglect of
taxpayers to pay their assessments Is
attributed as tho coubo of tho low re
ceipts. Believes Law Wll) Stand.
LINCOLN Governor Mickey is of
the opinion that tho supremo court
will not knock out tho new revenue
law In toto. "It Is my opinion," said
he, "that tnc law will stand, although
I expect that the courts will declare
Bovcral of tho sncM'Ms Invalid. Tho
taxation, of credits Is what is causing
nil tho trouble, and It is possible tho
legislature passed a fow sections that
may be defective."

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon tho
market eight years ago knows from
experience tho necessity of using Pos
tum in placo of coffee If one values
health and a steady brain.
Sho says: "At the tlmo Postum was
first put on tho market I was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told mo not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de
cided to tako his advice and try Pos
tum and got a sample and had It care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
the taste. So I continued Its use and
very soon Its beneficial effects con
vinced me of its value, for I got well
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for tho
Postum Is so delicious. It certainly
worked wondcra for him.
"Wo soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens tho nerves and the
stomach. To make a long Btory short
our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown In our
flno condition of health, and wo have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment In brain and nerve power."
Narao given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow tho use of Postum in
placo of coffee, sometimes In a very
marked manner.
