GOVERNOR INSTRUCTS DEPUTT Tells Him to Pay Departmental Ex penses With Fees and Turn Bal ance Over to Treasurer. Lincoln.—Governor Morehead hat given Food Commissioner Harman permission to ignore the Gerdes law relative to turning over all fees col lected by his department. The gov ernor told Mr. Harman ho might re tain sufficient of the fees collected to run his department and turn over the balance to the treasurer. The govern or said he was sorry to be complied to sanction a deviation from the Gerdes law, but he did not believe it was best for the state to be left at the mercy of unscruplous dealers, who might hood Nebraska with inferior rood products. The governor profess es to have noticed already that viola tions of the pure food law were be coming more frequent because the treasurer had hampered its enforce ment. He points out that the depart ment lias done considerable even at that in keeping up the reputation ot the state for having the best system of pure food laws and the most rigid enforcement of any state in the union. With the authority given him by the governor, Commissioner Harman will put his inspectors back irno tiie field and will conduct his department as in the past He will employ eleven in spectors. although allowed sixteen, and will also reduce his office force. The supreme court will hear the fire commissioner’s mandamus suit against the state treasurer, involving the same points as the food commis sioner’s predicament, and an early decision may clear the situation.

The gov ernor decided to intercede for the young man r'ter representations made to him by Fred Volpp, Scribner banker and state senator, and a dele gation from Dodge county, including a brother and brother-in-law of the convicted man. Too Much Stagnant Water. Stagnant water, which prevails freely over the state now because of the extremely wet weather of the past six months, constitutes a real danger to the health of the state and should be eradicated if the people want to save huge doctors’ bills. That is the belief of Dr. J. D. Case, state health inspector, who reached this conclusion after several lengthy trips over the state. The inspector called upon local hoards of health to give Btric* pt*—»M«n to the conditions In their WHY HE WAS IN THE WAY Presence of Chaplain Prevented Driv ers Talking to Their Horses as They Wished. The weather had been very wet for weeks, and the roads, "Somewhere across the Channel,” w'ere in a very bad state. Consequently, it was not surprising that a wagon in a certain British sup ply column suddenly dived into a hole full of mud. and refused to budge. At the critical moment up came an army tfiaplain. who at once proffered his services. ■Men.” he said, "I see you’re in difli culties. Can 1 be of any help?” "Yes, sir,” answered a burly ser geant, bluntly, as he mopped his brow, “you can give us the greatest help by making yourself scarce.” "Making myself scarce!” gasped the chaplain. “Why, how—?" "Yes, sir," broke in the sergeant; "you see, we can't very well say to the horses what they'd understand, while you are about!” Good Times. Henry Foret, praising the good times, in New York, said: “The good times are spread the country over. There isn't a spot that hasn't got its share. “Anybody who can contemplate these times with optimism must have a disposition like the bookkeeper’s wife. "The bookkeeper said one day at dinner: “ 'Gee, I wish I could get up an ap petite for once!’ " ‘Oh, go on, John,’ said his wife. Impatiently. 'What do you want an appetite for? It would only give you more dyspepsia.’ ” Man. “The kaiser could have rid the world of flies, of mosquitoes, of consump tion—he could almost have rid the world of disease—at less than what this war is costing him." The speaker was Dr. Harvey W. Wi ley. He continued: "But men are like that. It is only big, grand, heroic things that attract men. "Alexander wept because he had no more worlds to conquer. But no man ever wept yet because there was no more coal to carry up or dishes to help his wife with.” Hereditary. The baby had finished his bottle of milk, and the proud mother thought it would be a good time to get him to say "mamma," “papa," and "by by.” The baby simply gurgled. "Isn't that perfectly wonderful?" said the mother. "Well," replied the baby's uncle, "It reminds me very much of the way his father talks when he has been busy with a bottle.” Cause for Anxiety. "Gadspur tells me that while on his vacation this summer he was tossed about on one of the great lakes in a disabled launch for forty-eight hours i before being rescued.” “That must have been a harrowing ; experience.” “Indeed it was. During all that time he didn't have the slightest idea of I what the stock market was doing.” It Is. "Time is money.” "Yep. but it’s mighty tough if time is all you’ve got to spend.” Lots of city farmers make a special- \ ty of sowing wild oats. If one doesn't believe that honesty I is the best policy one should try it. HELP YOUR DIGESTION— WHY NOT?
