WHAT DOCTOR FOR NEW HOSPITAL
Norfolk Institution in Political Way.
Alden Is Prominent.
The Lincoln Star says :
Which medical "school" will control
the Norfolk Insane asylum ? The
question is agitating the minds of the
members of the homeopathic and the
regular schools of medicine in the
state and Governor Mickey Is being
besieged with requests to examine
Into the merits of the two methods of
curing the Ills of man before ho ap
points a superintendent for the Nor
folk asylum. Tills Institution will be
completed and opened for the recep
tion of patients on May 1. Each school
of medicine- asks that the superinten
dent bo selected from its advocates
and the homeopaths have presented
the name of Dr. 0. A. Young , present
assistant to Dr. Oreeno of the Lin
coln asylum , for the position , while
the allopathic physicians are urging
the appointment either of Dr. J. S. Lit
tle of nioonillcld. or Dr. .1. M. Alden
of Pierce , who was a senator In the
last session of the legislature.
Changes in other state Institutions
and departments continue to bo a
matter of speculation among other
politclans , but the governor will make
but few , If any. No announcements
will bo made of any changes until af
ter the llrst of the year.

Old People Have Their Troubles.
The most common aliments to whlcls
people past middle age are subject are-
Indigestion and constipation. For
tunately there Is a remedy especially
siiitcd to these disorders nnd that af
fords prompt relief. It Is called Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver tablets.
The laxative effect of these tablets Is
so agreeable and so natural that you
do not realize that it has been pro
duced by a medicine. They also Im
prove the appetite and strengthen the
digestion. Write to the Chamberlain
Medicine Co. , Des Moines , Iowa , for
a free sample , and give them a trial ,
