MUI.I1ALI., Boo City, Ian FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF Why It Is Supposed to Indicate Diges tive Disturbance Never Has Been Explained. Just why a furred tonguo Is sup posed to bo an Indication of a dis turbance of tbo digestive apparatus has never been explained. Tho Medi cal Record calls to mind "tho respected (and feared) spinster in our commu nity a good many years ago who had her own opinion about doctors. Urged to consult ono of their fraternity when a llttlo indisposed, she would ro pel tho suggestion with scorn. 'All they do,' sho would say, 'is to say, "Lot'B seo your tongue. Ilow'a your bowelB? Two dollars, please Tho editor says ho has known physi cians of tho old school who could dl agnoso a case by looking at tho tongue, Just as ho has known a physi cian who could "dlagnoso" a case of pneumonia in a child ho had novor seen boforo when ho got ten feet away from tho bed. And what la more, ho could tell which side it was on and even deslgnato tho lobo affected in Bomo cascfl." Of courso this Is sarcasm. Tho ed itor Is ridiculing tho furred tonguo as a symptom of trouble in tho digestive apparatus. Her Champion. Miss Gabble I think you wcro pres ent when she remarked that I had a big mouth. Miss Knto Yea, and I took occasion to set her right. Miss O. That was very nlco of you. Miss K. I told her your mouth wasn't really so big, it only seemed eo because- you kept It open bo con stantly. Hoston Transcript. Most of tho light rays from metallic filament electric lamps aro radiated at right angles from tho filaments. A Man's Worth depends upon his power to produce what the world recognizes as of value. And when you skirmish around you'll find that this power which i8 just power of mind and body depends to a remarkable degree on the food one eats. For highest accomplish ment one must have the best values in food food which builds well-balanced bodies and brains. Grape-Nuts FOOD has that kind of value. It contains all the nutriment of whole wheat and barley, in cluding the important mineral elements so often lacking in the usual dietary. Grape-Nuts comes ready to cat, is easy to digest, nourishing, economical, won derfully delicious a help in building men of worth.

Will Reduce Baggage Rates Tho Rock Island railroad has agreed to comply with tho request of tho state railway commission to re duco Its rates on excess baggage In Nebraska. Some of tho officials of the road denied, at first that It had in creased such rates. They alleged that tho charge had been 16 per cent of the passenger faro ever since 1007. This amounted, however, to a confes sion that an Increase had been auto matically mado when the federal court allowed tho company to increase lta passenger faro from 2 cents to 3 cents a mile. When tho 2-cent faro law went into effect in Nebraska the railroads were charging fixed rates ffor excess baggage. Then they changed to a percentage basis of tho passenger fare. The Rock Island since that time has been charging 16 per cent of tho passenger fare. This rate was not changed when tho federal court recently permitted the Rock Island to increase its passenger fare in Nebraska, and tho percentage basis of charging for excess baggage consequently caused nn Increase. How Dry Ballot Will Appear. After conferring with representa tives of tho Nebraska dry federation and receiving their approval, Attor ney General Reed has certified to tho secretary of state tho title and word ing for tho prohibitory constitutional amendment as it will appear on tho ballot next November. Tho law pro vides that initiated propositions shall be printed tit tho top of tho ballot, preceding party circles. Here Is the way tho proposition will show up on tho bnllot: "Proposed by initiative potition. Constitutional amendment prohibiting thomanufne turo, salo and keeping for sale or bar tor, malt, spirituous or vinous liquors." Attorney General Heed, tho stato railway commission nnd Attorney J A. C. Kennedy for tho railroad com pany have agreed on Frank II. Gnlnea of Omaha, as refereo to tako testimony and mnko findings to tho fcdornl court In the Missouri Pnclflc 3-cent faro in junction suit. Tho federal court Bomo tlmo ago issued a temporary injunc tion enabling tho rallrond company to colloct this rato from its patrons, nnd It is now doing so, except between competitive points, whoro It charges tho samo as other lines. Distribution of Harvest Hands, Tho stato department of labor is sending out blanks to wheat raisers and tlioso In a position to mnko a fairly accurato cstlmato of tho con dition of grain. Theso blanks aro sent to each county In tho state. Informa tion is requested as to condition of grain as compared with last year dur ing tho month of Juno, tho number of harvest field workers used last year, tho probable number of oxtra men needed this year, tho prevailing wngo last year and tho probablo wago this year. Treasurer Hall Defendant In Suit. Food Commissioner Harman, whoso department has chargo of tho Inspec tion of weights and measures all over tho stato oxcept In tho larger cities, believes that, as a general thing, tho measuring pumps by which oil firms sell gasollno to nutomobllo owners nnd users glvo purchaser tho full amount that ho pays for. Thcso pumps, says Harman, hnvo been under Inspection right along. Occasionally ono Is found thnt runs short meneuro, and In every such instance it is either corrected or condemned. University Alumni Elects Officers Frank II. Woodland, class of 1D01), of Omaha, was elected president of tho University of Nebraska alumni at Its recent swtdon hold in Lincoln. Ho succeeds N. '.. Snoll of Lincoln. Other ollleers elected were: Francis Gere, '98, Lincoln, vlco president. Leonard Flansburg, '04, Lincoln, treasurer. Annls Chnlkln, Lincoln, socretnry. Fred M.

Because the hog cholera serum law passed by the legislature of lfMfi tendi to create n monopoly and because It porvontH a farmer from treating his own hogs or a veterinarian from pur chasing soium with which to treat hogs of those who employ blni. tho not has boon declared unconstitutional and void In an opinion b tho supremo court of Nebraska, announced Satur day. Tills decision Is given In the test suit fiom Douglas county, whoie C. C. Hall was lined $.10 and costs because he sold serum without llrst obtaining a federal license from the department of ngrietilturo of n stale penult from tho llo stock sanitary board, and with out having given n bond for ?r.,000 as requited by the state law. Another count of the Infoimatlon alleged that the salo was unlawful because tho bottle contained no price mark. In construing the I'nlted States serum lam, tho opinion by Judge llnmcr bays It is apparent that government licenses aro required, not by poisons who may bo engaged merely In the salo of scrum, but by those manufac turing It. The Nebraska law, by limit ing the sale of serum to those holding government licenses, is construed to glvo the maniifactuiers a monopoly on the business, and for that reason Is declared to have the effect of fosterinp a monopoly. Expenses Were Less This Year In tho first flvo months of 1016, tbo state government nnd institutions of Nebrnska wcro administered for $217, 000 less than in tho s.imo period n year ago. The 1015 period included tho outgo for legislative salaries and expenses, but docs not account for all of the difference. The policy pursued by stnto ofllclals in holding down expenditures nnd giv ing tho people tho benclit In tho way of reduced stuto taxes Iiub cut down tho disbursements of tho state treas ury about $12,000 to 115,000 per month, in addition to the money saved by not having a session of the legislature this year. State Auditor Smith's statement for May shows that In that month this year tho warrants Issued by his oirice totaled $370,481, while in May a year ago the amount was $455,775, being a dlffercnco of $85,000 in favor of this year. For tho first five months of 1915 tho warrants issued came to a total of $2,286,013. In tho first five months of tho current year, tho outgo has been held down to $2,069,340.

Attorney General Reed has filed nn nnswer in the supremo court to an application of the Standard Oil com panv nnd other oil companies for a writ of mandamus to require the stato treasurer to permit tho uso of $12ri, 000 of fees In tho treasury for tho pay ment of oxpenscs of the oil Inspection department before newly collected fees aro used for such expenses. Tho nttornoy general, representing Stato Treasurer Hall resists tho application by alleging tho fees have not been ap propriated by tho legislature for such uso; that tho stato treasurer does not know what pnrt of tho $125,000 was derived from oil Inspection fees nnd what part from food, drug nnd dairy fcos; that tho food and oil commis sioner has sovcral thousand dollars of fees In his hands which will bo miffl dent to pay running expenses; that the companies hnvo no legal right to mnln tain this action.
