With the pasesgr uf tbe Reed bone dr> amend ■«*t by both branches of congress nnd the belief that i< a ill meet the approval •». the president the bone dry quest too ha# been taken entirely oat of tbe hands of the states and tbe bottom appears to have dropped oat at the eipeeled fight over the garstion among the Nebraska law makers The quest»on was up for consider ation Tuesday of last week but *a laid over in order to see what corn grew# was going to do about it. The bone dry advocates had been prepar ing for weeks for the expected scrap, and tney had become so well organ lied that they appeared o have with them about h-.lf of the house Some ■sen were willing to predict that a bone dry amendment would be adopt ed by a large majority. Ovi inspection Law Void The Nebraska oil inspection law. which for a quarter of a century has vie idea the state a revenue of from f74.dK* to $U4,»44 a year Las received a lurlott blow from the supreme court which has declared void that part of the law fixing a fee of 10 icats a barrel for inspection on the ground that it is a revenue measure and not a police measure, and vio lated the constitutional provision in regard to anifortmtv anil equality of taxation The slate of Nebraska, rep resented by Arthur Mullen as its spe cially employed attorney, loses and the Standard Oil and other companies represented by W !» McHugh and Amos Thomas win The findings of fact and conclusions of law reported to the supreme court by W' M Morn ing referee, are in the mam upheld Judge A. J Cornish, one of tbe new udges who came upon the supreme bench last month, prepared the opin ion of the court The decis on is con i anted in by the other six judges of the court The legislature, through the house took immediate steps to amend the inspei non law by redui ing the fee from 1* cents to 6 cents a bar rel. The court grants the writ of in junction asked for by the Standard «*t! and thirteen other oil companies. This writ prohibits the governor or other -»ate officer* from enforcing the fee port on of the law. The result of tbe d* stain is that Governor Keith Neville, food and oi! commissioner through his deputy Otto Murschel will i out mu- to nspect oi! as heretofore, hut will not collect a fee for such work.

In i committee of the whole S. F. 96. in traduced by Adams of Dawes, was recommended for third reading after : , opponents of the bill had failed to j muster enough votes to defeat it or j amend it. Fortner legislatures have ’ T< : --ed to pass similar bills. Governor 1 Neville was an interested listener in j the lobby during a portion of the dis cussion. - Practically without debate or dis cussion the committee of the whole approved St ite Treasurer G. E. Hall's 1-ill introduced by Rushee and Adams a bill designed to put state funds up at auction to the highest bidder in rate of interest, the auction to take place ever? two years. The latter j bill does not amend the banking law. but it does affect the guaranty por * <*n of the banking law to some ex tent because state funds in legal de positories are protected only by the j guaranty fund. Will Be Chairman of Board Eugene O. Mayfield, chosen to suc ceed Judge Howard Kennedy on the -fate board of control, will be chair man of the board when he takes of fice March 1, according to a statement cf board members, with whom he has conferred. Mr. Mayfield's four months' service on the board, to fill the unex ! pired portion of Judge Kennedy's term, leaves him as the member whose partial term expires first. Un d< r the law such a member is entitled to be chairman of the board. Judge Kennedy has occupied the position during the past year and a half. A Fidelity Bond Measure H. R. 167, by Cronin, has been fa- i j vorably acted upon. It requires fidel | ity companies when cancelling a bond ] to give to the person bonded their ! reasons therefor, provided for twenty ■ days’ notice of the intent to cancel and gives a hearing before the insur ance board if the bonded person de mands one. Mr. Cronin said that ar bitrary cancellation left a stain on a man's reputation. This provided a , method whereby, if he were honest. | he could protect his reputation. A saving to the state of from $2C, I 000 to $30,000 a year would be effect ; «*d by the I)afoe-Taylor bill in the house.Vreating a state printing com mission. according to J. F. Webster of j St. Paul, state printer. The bill pro video that the printing and stationery of ail state offices and all state insti , tutions be supplied on the competitive j contract and not in the open market. The bill provides for a state printing commissioner at $2,000 a year, and for a stenographer at $840. He must be what is known in the craft as a “practical printer." Tuition for State Wards. A claim for $210.75. for tuition of pupils who are from the state home for dependent children during 1915 and 1916, has been filed with the state legislature by L. S. Frisbie, superin tendent of the University Place schools. There were twenty-five chil dren on his list, who were charged ! tuition at the rate of 75 cents a week. The home for dependent children is ] under the supervision of the state | board of control. 767,552 11S.S32.000 67.00 FOOD SUPPLY IS LOW! LLOYD GEORGE TELLS OF CONDI- , TIONS IN ENGLAND. U-BOAT MENAGE ALARMING Must Take Drastic Action to Cope With Situation, Says Premier. Tonnage Problem Grave. London.—That Great Britain is faced with a serious situation due to a shortage of tonnage, was the admis sion made a few days ago in the I louse of Commons by David, Lloyd George, the British prime minister. It was a situation, he said, which called for most stringent measures by the government and in. order to meet it, the importation of all non-essentials was to be prohibited. On the ability of the government to solve tonnage shortage which was now affecting the ordinary needs of the nation and mili tary exigencies, said the premier, de pended the success of the entente al- : lied cause. "If we take drastic measures,” the I premier continued, "we can cope with the submarine menace, but if the na tion is not prepared to accept drastic measures for dealing with the menace disaster is before us..” "Importation of all luxuries must be batted, nonessential staples must 1 make way for the necessities of war,” ! he said. In the long list of articles prohibit- i ed importation are coffee, cocoa, tea, I taw fruits, except lemons and oranges; hides, leather, boots and shoes. A speeding up in agriculture and ship building is embraced in the premier's scheme, and a lessening in the output of beer is also provided for in it, in order to save for food the cereals used in brewing. A corresponding re striction is also placed upon spirits. There is alarm in some quarters over the new order of things, it being gen erally recognized that ordinary trade will be seriously affected. The restrictive plans will affect the dining table of every Britton. “If ; such a program is carried out,” the | premier said. “England can face the enemy’s worst. “Food stocks are low est in our recollection, due to bad harvests. For the nation’s life in creased production is necessary. “The year before the war 50,000,000 of tons of shipping entered British ports. "During the past year the total was 30,000,000. This was partly due to the allocation of tonnage to our allies. “A considerable portion of our tonnage has been sunk by submarines during the past thirty months. The ratio has increased, due to Germany’s special efforts to do her worst. "The govern ment hopes to deal effectively with the submarine question, but it does not follow that we should rest on this hope only.” Tornadoes Kill Thirteen. Atlanta. Ga.—Thirteen persons are known to have lost their lives and more than a hundred have been re ported injured in a series of tornadoes that swept portions of Alabama. Geor gia and Mississippi late last week. The most serious loss of life was in middle Alabama.

Much timber was blown down and many residences were damaged. Two ne groes were killed at ithonia. Ga.. when at least sixty small dwellings were demolished. Six children were injured in a storm at Georgetown. Miss. Small tornadoes also struck near Wetumpka. Ala., and Hurtes boro. Ala., causing minor property damage. American Lo*t With Troopship. Paris.—The French steamer Athos, carrying Sengalese troops and colo nial laborers, has been sunk in the Mediterranean sea, with the loss of a large number of lives, including Rev. Robert Allen Hoden, an American mis sionary. The torpedoing occurred, notwithstanding the fact that the Athos was escorted by French de stroyers. Subsees Make Good Record. Berlin.—Two German submarines that just returned from the barred zone waters sank 24 steamers, three sailing vessels and dine trawlers dur ing their voyage. McAdoo’s Daughter to Wed. Washington.—The engagement ol Secretary McAdoo’s daughter, Miss j Nona Hazlehurst McAdoo to Ferdi ! nand De Mohrenschildt. second secre tarv of the Russion embassy, was an nounced. Soldiers Killed During Quarrel. London.—Thirty-two Bavarian and Prussian soldiers were killed and 200 wounded as the result of a quarrel which resulted in a fight last week according to the Maatright, Holland i newspaper Les Nouveles. The trouble took place in Belgium. Missouri Pacific R. F» Sold. St. Louis, Mo.—The Missouri Pacific railway was sold here for $16,151,000 The property was bought by Robert H. Nielson and Duncan A.

Every mother realizes, after giving ner children “California Syrup oi Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with out griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad. stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit laxative, ’ and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bow els. and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem ber, a good "inside cleaning” should always be the first treatment given.

AfORTH WHILE AS INVESTMENT Here Is a House That Need Not Be Unduly Expensive, but Has Been Planned for the Extreme in Comfort of Occupants. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of hts wide experience as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries ! to William A. Radford. No. lfC7 Prairie avenue, Chicago. 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp fer reply. _ A home to some extent shows how progressive anil ambitious its owner t Is. If it is well designed and attrac tive the passer-by immediately eon ; eludes that the owner is a particular and ambitious man. If it simply con sits of four walls and a roof it would rather quietly he said that the owner is content with small things and does ; not possess the ambition with which to advance. To have n home well designed and attractive does not mean, as might I hastily he eoneluded. the most expen j sive home. Many features can be 1 Drought into a design which make it ' attractive and are no more expensive | house but today Is proving popular In most sections of the country. The porch ruus into a terrace through what would be termed n colon j nade in interior design. The terrace 1 in front of the living room serves all ' the purposes of the much-desired porch in front of the living room. In this way, however, there is no porch roof to obstruct the light coining through the windows into the living room. Entering the reception room from the porch, one window in front, two in the side apd a seat built in the corner by the stairway, give an inviting feel ing. This is further added to on en tering the living room. With n nice I_ Second-Floor Plan. beamed ceiling and large fireplace the ! attention of everyone Is immediately attracted. A colonnade connects the living and dining rooms. Bookcases are built in the colonnade, and both i | together add much to the artistic ap- j pearance of the room. In the living room there are three 1 ; large windows in n group in front and ! two on the side, while in the dining ! room there are three large windows on the side. This makes both rooms nice and light, which is very desirable, since i they are the two rooms occupied more than things put into the design which make it unattractive. The more attractive home is always In greater demand. Demand regulates value, to some extent regardless of the original cost. Your home is an invest ment, as well as a thing you have pride in. and at some later time you may desire to sell it. When this time comes the more attractive house you have built will show a greater value of your investment. A greater value is what you look for in other investments. Why not em body the idea in the home you are going to build? In addition, you will then have something of which you can be more proud. Attractiveness is free, so don't neglect it. Materials entering into the con struction. as well as workmanship, are First-Floor Plan. other things which should be given earnest thought before anything defi nite is decided on. They may add some to the cost, but this addition will be more than made up for by the addi tional life of the house. Suppose your house cost $4,000 and that by adding $100 to the cost of ma terial and workmanship you increase the life ten years. If the house lasted 50 years, each year would show a de preciation of $S0 in the $4,000. Ten years’ life in the house is, then, worth $S0O. So note that toy adding $100 to the original cost you can get the ten years of addition*! life, which is val ued at $S00. The house as illustrated here will oe found of interest as regards both its exterior appearance and the mate rials of which it is designed to be built Brick veneer is used for the outside ap to the sills of the second-floor win dows, and from there up to the box comice cement plaster is used. This tot only gives a longer life to the iiil_ -, X ' <*,_ I ------ — than any others in the house. The J beamed ceiling in the dining room j j shows good taste and it makes the j dining room similar to the living room. This is desirable because the two rooms are connected by the colonnade, i giving an open run-together appear ! anee. The stairway to the second floor is ; conveniently located in the back part i of the reception room, where also are j two closets for coats. People enter i ing front the side or rear often do so I because of the dirt they bring Into the house. The two closets and location i of the stairway with respect to the ; -side entrance allows such people to en 1 ter. hang up their coats and go direct ly upstairs without tracking their dirt through the house. Among things in the kitchen which would be appreciated by the house keeper are the two windows over the sink and a place where the kitchen ! table might be placed. The exception ; ally large pantry between the dining ; room aud kitchen would be appreelat ' ed also. It is nearly 14 feet long and about four feet wide. The refrigerator j is placed In the end of the pantry next | to the outside wall. A door Is con structed in this outer wall so that the refrigerator may be filled from the out side. This is convenient from many points of view. Going to the second floor it will be noted that the landing of the stairway is located in a bay of the house. This is, from an artistic point of view, al ways looked on with favor. The hail has been centrally located so that it is not only convenient to go from one room to the other on the sec ond floor, but further than this, a mini mum of space has been taken up and It is possible to have all of the other rooms larger. There are three bedrooms, a sleep ing porch and the bath off from this hall. Each of the bedrooms has nice large closets and from three to four windows, which allow plenty of light and make the rooms as cheerful as any of the others In the house. A double door connects the sleep ing porch with the back bedroom. It can be entered either by way of this bedroom or directly from the hall. This makes it convenient to the bath or makes it possible to use It as an individual sleeping room when neces sary.
