LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.
Pills and salts give temporary re
lief from constipation only at the ex
pense of permanent Injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—a means as simple as Nature
itself.
7a perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action'of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Nature’s own
lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative
it cannot gripe. It is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water It is
harmless an<^ pleasant.
Nujol is prescribed by physicians;
used In leading hospitals. Get a bottle

Delegation Tells Nebraska
Legislature Widespread
Sentiment Against Pro
posed Amendments.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb! 9 (Special.)—
A delegation of business and profes
sional men from northeastern Ne
braska was here Thursday to use its
influence on the legislature in oppo
sition to any change in the present
road law. Wednesday they were
given a heading before the joint sen
ate and house committees on roads.
Ex-Senator E. C. Houston, of Te
kamah, was spokeman-in-chlef for
the delegation. Those of the satisfied
group who want the legislature to let
well enough alone and who said so
are Ex-Senator A. II, 'Miller, of
Washington county; Clark Ohlan,
Blair; J. W. Tyson, Herman; W. J.
Isgrig, Tekamah; A. B. Peden, Oak
land; E. C. Engham, Lyonjs; Ben Ev
ans, Decatur; Ex-Kepresentative H.
L. Webster, Tekamah; Rudolph Braz
da, West Point.
“The sentiment is general,” said
Ex-Senator Houston, "that there is
no present need for a change in the
road laws. The people are satisfied
with the arrangement both as to
conduct and maintenance.” This sen
timent was echoed by others of the
delegation.

Nebraska Legislature Refuses
to Reimburse Boyd County
for the Walter Sim
mons Trial.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6 (Special).—
The house this morning killed a bill
introduced by Representative Thatch
er to repay Boyd county for the $5,000
expenses incurred in the prosecution
of Walter H. Simmons for murder.
The county asked re-imbursement on
the ground that it was small and un
able to stand so great an expense.
The house advanced to third read
ing a bill that refers to a vote of the
entire people the question Of whether
a county agent shall be employed. The
present law makes it mandatory
where 300 farmers so petition.
The house passed a bill allowing
railroads to sell tickets at reduced
rates to mirlnters, theological stu
dents Ailing "vulplts and mission
workers.
Representatives from the cattle
country have introduced a series of
bills aimed at putting an end to the
present form of thievery going on In
that section.
“We are asking the legislature for
.Authority to deal with the cattle
t Vleves in a lawful manner,” says
Representajwe Broome, of Sheridan
co'inty. • “K the legislature does not
do this, the newspapers will have
some sensational stories to print.
There will be some dead bodies found
on the prairies some morning, and
they will be those of men who are
known to be the thieves, but upon
whom proof cannot be fastened.
"Cattle thievery is being carried
on in an up-to-date and scientific
manner. No longer do the rustlers
confine themselves to branding mav
ericks or killing a cow, hiding the hide
and then peddling the meat around.
They cut one or two cows out here
and one or two there and when they
get a carload drive them to the rall
rodd. There they are shipped to
markets where ther are no brand in
spectors. The business has grown so
much in the last two years that the
cattlemen will resort to violence If
the kind of laws they are askipg are
not passed.”
RESISTS PAYING
State Attempts to Collect for
Care of Insane Person—
Claim Is It Would Be
Double Taxation.
---
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6 (Special).—
Whether the state can collect from
tl)e estate of persons who are treated
In the hospitals for the insane fox
the cost of keeping them there is a
question raised in an appeal tiled in
supreme court by representatives of
Thomas Murphy, deceased, of Keith
county. The state has a bill of $1,000
for five years’ room, treatment and
board at the Hastings asylum. The
law gives the state the right to re
cover1, and the constitutionality of
this statute is assailed in the case.
The claim is that the Murphy pro
perty having contributed, by taxes
levied every year for the support of
the state institution, it is diouble tax
ation to require him or his estate to
pay for his keep at it.

der by performing an illegal operation.

Nebr&bka Legislators Devot
ing Time to Committee Work
—Anti-Picketing Amend
ment Into Discard.
Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. 8 (Special).—
The house and senate are both well
up with their business. Neither has
more than a bill or two on general
file and the greater part of the time
Is devoted to committee meetings. A
general disposition Is shown to
slaughter bills that are not of Impor
tance.
The house Wednesday passed a bill
providing for the election of officers
of an irrigation district by the di
rectors instead of the land owners, and
providing for a consolidation of these
officers. It also passed one that
allows the county attorney of Doug
las County to spend $2,600 a year in
detective service, as also one pro
viding for foreclosure of tax sale
certificates held By school districts,
drainage districts and other subdi
visions.
By a vote of four to three the labor
committee reported for indefinite
postponement a bill amending the
anti-picketing law; which was sub
jected to a referendum last fall and
adopted. The bill proposed to permit
strikers to talk with strike-breakers
and made it an offense only when
they started to using intimidating or
coercive language.
The senate has decided to go into
the investigating business itself, and
has appointed two committees to
look into the affairs of the state in
situations, one to delve into affairs
of the state university and another to
look Into normal school affairs. The
senate wants it understood, however,
that these are not "smelling” com
mittees, but named for the purpose
of ascertaining what facts are nec
essary for the senate finance com
mittee to know when it starts to look
ing over the appropriations bill when
it comes from the house.
The house university investigation
committee has been given until Feb
ruary 17 to report. It is expected to
make some harsh criticisms of meth
ods. The senate committee will not
duplicate this investigation.
The senate killed a bill Thursday
that would have made every county a
unit for telephone service and given
every subscriber free service within
its border on the ground that it would
raise rates. It passed a number of
bills, among them one providing that
small school districts bordering on
other states may make arrangements
to have their children given high
school training in the adjoining states.

But Governor Bryan Main
tains Tuberculosis Work Is
In Interest of the
Packers.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 7 (Special).—
Governor Bryan refuses to take the
back track on the matter of a bovine
tuberculosis appropriation, although
a petition was received from 100
members of the Madison County
Farm Bureau' urging that he favor
$300,000 for this purpose and to con
tinue the department of agriculture
and H. K. Smith, former expert in the
employ of the state, says that Bryan
doesn’t know what he is talking about
when he says that the packers and
the veterinarians are the principal
beneficiaries.
The governor says that the eradica
tion work does not eradicate, and he
goes after Mr. Smith in this wise:
"The whole scheme is one by which
the owners of registered herds get
their doctor bills paid by the public.
Mr. Smith told me recently, in a talk,
that he is receiving pay for spreading
this eradication propaganda. He
further told me he was in the pay
of the packers. His letters should
not be published by the press unless
nmfked advertising matter for the
packers.”
American Legion Members of
Nebraska Solidly Against
Any Tampering With
That Statute.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 5 (Special).—
The propsed repeal of the language
law, it is predicted will never get to
Governor Bryan because It will bo
knocked out in the legislature. It
proposes to leave nothing to the law
but that section relating to the Uis

The American Legion members are
solidly against tampering with the a t

out of order almost everything I nte

gas, heartburn and a distressing smoth

my back ached terribly, I lost weight j

a generally wretched condition. •

The letters O. It. following the name

his client on bis O. It.
Several days ago a lawyer walked
into the office of Edward Shubert,
captain of police, at headquarters and
made an eloquent plea for the release
on his own recognizance of a craps
shooter. Ilis plea fell on deaf ears.
“Say, look here, you’ve got the
wrong captain,” Shubert said. "There's
