To some people the assertion of physicians that a great p rogress was made since Dr. Lister in troduced absolute cleanliness in medicine ami surgery, may seem absurd. It seems that it could not be otherwise, but we found that many preparations are being offered to our public, made in unclean factories and from the poorest ingredients. They cer tainly cause more harm than good. One of the cleanest laboratories in the world is that where Triner's American llixir of Hitter Wine is manufactured. It should be used in every distress of the stomach and the bowels, because it will clean out these organs and also strengthen them. This will relieve constipation, pains and cramps, different in flammations, accumulation of pases, rheumatic and neuralgic pains, headache nnd bnckache, eruptions due to impure blood, many ailments of women, ner vousness and loss of energy.

DR Herman Groodor, Graduate Veterinary Surgeon (Formerly with U. S. Department Agriculture) Licensed by Nebraska State Board Calls Answered Promptly Telephone 378 White, Piatt uncut LUMBERMEN MAKE DENIAL Directors o! Nebraska Associa tion Issu3 Statement. DECLARE THEY ARE NOT GUILTY Board Orders Indicted Secretaries to Employ Counsel and Will Make Sep arate Defense Railroads Protest Against Valuations. Lincoln, July ?2. The directors of the Nebraska State Lumbermen s as sociation were in session at the Lin coln hotel. Alter adjournment th'j following statement was given on by the board: 'Indictmi'nts were recently rot n uM against ex-Secretary Bird Critthtield and his successor. E. E. Hall of the Nebraska association, by a federal grand jury ut Chicago, they being jhaiged in the indictment with gather ing and disseminating information, to the members of the Nebraska associa tion relative to the depredations of poachers and catalogue housea be tween tho dates of July, 1908, and July, 1911, which said acts are defined as being in restraint of trade and in violatipn ol the Sherman act. "While the indictments are directed at ex-Secrotary Critchfield and Secre tary Hall, personally, the board felt that the association must take cog nizance of the matter, knowing that the conduct of the affairs and business Is In no way violative of either state or federal laws, and that it is not the purpose of the association or any part of the duties of its secretary to gather or disseminate such Information as is charged, nnd that, its secretaries did not perform said acts. "Presumably, the grand Jury pro ceeded on the theory that the Nebras ka secretaries were members of a sec retaries' bureau of Information, as were the other secretaries indicted, said bureau being maintained for the purpose of informing the members of the various state associations of busi ness done directly with consumers by walp'TS and catalogue houses. Ex Secretary Critchfield was a member of this bureau in 1906, but the associa tion disapproved of this and the mem bership was discontinued, since which time the Nebraska association has had no connection with said bureau. "After being harassed by trust busters for several years, and after having made a successful defense In the state courts against attempts to have the association dissolved, the members feel that this latest attack upon them, through their secretaries, is unwarrnnted and unjust, and the board of directors has directed Messrs. Critchfield nnd Hall to employ coun sel to take the necessary steps to have the Indictments quashed so far as it relates to them. Being guilty of no act which can In any way be con strued or distorted as In violation of law, the Nebraska secretaries will not Join Issues with the other Indicted secretaries, but will make a separate defense." Roads Kick on Valuations. The state board of assessment was confronted with the railway tax com missioners who protested against the valuation placed on railroad property In South Omaha for taxation for city or terminal purposes, lax commis sioner Pollard of the Burlington al leged that railroad real estate on which road beds have been built is taxed two to five times more than real estate nearby. He pointed out examples and showed the board the Inw which says railroad real estate shall be assessed the same as adjacent real estate. Mr. Fitzgerald, who was employed by the city of South Omaha to place valuations on railroad and public ser vice corporation property, was present with an engineer to defend his values. There was such a difference of opin ion between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Pollard that the board decided to get further Information on values from the physical valuation department of the railway commission.
