Cfc't Tut.v eO per rent of the calls upon the it.v physician Tor treatment come from "dope" fiends is Oie startling assertion of J rmitty Pljyslcian Swoboda. who lias been' Investigating the prevalence of tho use of drugs among the charity and criminal s classes. ' ; J '( "rYom'29 tl 25 per emit of the cases It) the .county liORpital are traceable to the use of cocaine, morphine or some other drug." lie declared, "and the proportion will iiold good at the city and county Jails. Most of our criminals are 'dope' ftdnds and ttiey commit their crimes while under the Influence of the drug. It is astounding tha waythe use of drugs Is Increasing. The sale of-tt-except under certain restrictions Is prohibited, both by state law and city ordinance, but It Is notorious that any 'dope' fiend ran get all he wants without any trouble. Something ought to be done to prevent the sule of the stuff." Dr. Swoboda has consulted with Deputy County Attorney Magncy'ln regard-to the State law'. The officers who have tried to enf orce., tjj urainanc-e.dwlare, U Is viy dlffiouHhwauae of the difficulty of secur-' Ing cvftfeui". that will stand the test' in the court.' Dr. - Bwoboda may call the attention of, tliQ fire and poUee- board to the emotions he, fh s exist in Umaliv "I lme Jnn . ulnlr fiiy times in the last ten days by charitably inclined people to treat a woman at Thirteenth and Capitol avenue, but there is nothing In the world the matter with her but 'dope.' Hhe has no trouble In getting all she wants. It is bring smuggled into both the city and rounty Jails and the prisoners seem to have all they want. I have never allowed any of It to go Into the county Jail on prescription since I have been county physician." Cleaning- Windows With Whisky. ' Johii S. Cox, president of the Tennessee senate, had an old negro servant who liked his drink Just as Well as the best Kentucky colonel In the lilun Grass State, One morn Ing. Just after the cold spell brukc, the darky said to Senator Cox. , Marse John, eaid he, III Jes up an lcan dose winders lis mornln'." "All right, Caesar' replied the senator. "1 so got ter hub a half tumbler of whisky, Marse John. D're ain't nutlln' like whisky, f of clean in' winders." I he nun tumbler was promptly given Caesar, who armed himself with some rags and carried the whisky to another room to begin work. A few minutes afterward, Senator Cox had occasion to enter his room. Caesar was busy polishing he win dows. . The tumbler, was on the table, but no whisky in It. '"Why. Cuesar, what's become of the whisky?" asked the senator. "I thought you useT it in this work." "So I does, Marse John; so I does," was the answer. "Ye see, sail, I drinks de whisky an' blows my bref agin the wln defst" Judge. .

They have Only thelr bruises and cuts for their psiriil. for their fair "flueen of Tove" awards ta neither Uie prise of victory. "They hare proved themselves ravages." said the girl. "I shall have nothing more to do with either." Tha rivals were arrested and taken before Recorder Cadmus, who, reaariMng their bruises and bumps, said: "You hate pun ished each other pretty well. Pt Ml. I fine each of you tin." Mayor "Jim" In person Friday led. the fortes of the council In cutting the amounts Mowed for running tho jeveral city de. partments which drsw their financial nourishment from the general fund. ' Tho amount set aside In the city comptroller's estimate for running tho mayor's office for 1908 was M.9C. In 17 it had been 14.687. Unhesitatingly tho mayor drew his lead pencil and changed tha figures. Cut it down," he aald, "to what U was last year." And they did It. When the council finished the adjusting prooess the total budget stood at J3D3,S0O. and S8.5M was unapportloned. Lost year I1M.611.W was apportioned for the same purposes. Last year S10.WO was apportioned to pay Judgments rendered against the city. This year 141,320 was put down for Jhls purpose. But City Attorney Burnam admitted that probably it would take In excess of this figure to -pay Ui Judgments. Thera Is the Bemls case, which is now In tho supreme court. This is a Judgment against tho city for $12,000. and costs and interest will amount to K.OOn additional. Bo the sum of $.O0O was put In the apportionment for paying Judgments. Dr. Connell Makes 'Em Talk. The Immense Increase asked by the health department caused conslderabla dls cusslon. This department was given xil.&ro last year in the apportionment. It spent in excess of $18,000, and then in December an extra bill for $1,100 was brought In to the council and allowed. The department asked for $39,509 for 1908. Dr. Connell ex plained that he wanted among other things to hire six new Inspectors, W have one inspector and one man to do disinfecting now." he said. But since the council passed the ash pit and the garbage can ordinance I need at least six additional inspectors to enforce these ex cellent laws. You can't make the people nut those things in unless you keep at them." Councilman (Dr.) Davis thought there would be little menace to the health of the people of the city through failure to construct ash pits. He further declared that mucli needless expense Is Incurred by the city through refusal of officers to allow victims .of Illness or accident to call their own physicians. "In tho schools pupils have been refused the privilege of being vaccinated by their own physicians, but have been lined up and vaccinated at the city's expense," he said. "And I have been refused permis sion myself to give first aid to the Injured which tho po"ce took up In soma accident. They had to be rushed to a hospital at the city's expense." MrGovern Wants to Be fthoirn. Councilman McGovern demanded a de tailed statement of tho expenditures of the health office, which Dr. Connell did not have and an item of $181 for groceries In December seemed particularly excessive to him. In the end the council allowed the. health department $16,900. The emergency hos pital was apportioned $2,000 instead of the $4,000 asked. The comptroller asked for $13.lTS and got $12,2. An item allowing $5,000 for cutting weeds was cut out and where weeds need to be cut in accordance with the recently passed ordinance tha funds will ' be drawn from tha general fund. When it came to $1,200 for superintendent of the market the mayor remarked that he thought the salary had been cut to $909. But It was not so. The council passed an ordinance a few weeks ago abolishing the office. The mayor vetoed it and said he preferred to reduce the salary to $900 Instead of abolishing It. The council sus tained his veto, but failed to reduce the salary. So the marketmaster who, several pointed out. "doesn't do anything," remains on the pay roll at $100 a month. Awsssti as They Stand. The amounts as finally apportioned were as follows: Funds set Estimates Department. aside. 17. for IV An Insldloas Dancer. - - - p of the worst features, of. kidney trouble Is that It is an Insidious disease and before the vlctlru realises his danger he may have a fata,l'; malady."

The muscles of this prodigy of physical development are. as hard as those of a strong man. They stand out on his little arms, Ugs and back In cords and knots. His mother began working his arms and legs up and down When he was a week old. When S weeks old the baby could grip his mamma's thumbs and hold him self suspended In the air. Now he can stand alone, let his body come to the floor by bending his knees, and straighten up again. He has not learned to balance himself yet, or his mamma thinks he could walk. He bathes in a large bathtub. He all but swims. He loves his bath and cries when taken out. He haa. two baths a day. One Is In water at .88 and the other at VS degrees. He sleeps out of doors with only a handkerchief over his head and light covering. He has done this when the thermometer registered 10 de grees above xero. This Is the coldest weather his short Ufa has known. His wonderful strength Is shown In his ability tn swing with one hand or two upon his father's cane held in his mother's hands. He can push his body from the floor to arm' length. le can crawl from one end of the house to the other. Hla father Is a .teacher of physical cul ture. He ha been a vegetarian for twenty years.

UNDECIDED AS TO RESIGNING Fnllnre to Amend City Charter Pro vldln for Da tie of City C om - roller Fatal Detect ( Legislative Art. Judge Redlck In the district court Satur day5 morning decided the law enacted by the last legislature creating the office of county . comptroller and providing for the merger of the city and county comptroller ships were Invalid, and he ' announced he would Issue an injunction' to prevent the county board from expending any money to establish the new office and from ap proving tho bond of Comptroller-elect Solomon. 'After the decision was announced Mr. Solomon declared he would appeal lo the supreme court In the hope of reversing the decision, but he could not say what action he would take In regard to resigning as county commissioner in order that he might make an offer to qualify for tho conip trollershlp. Judge Redlck held with Mr. Solomon' attorney on three of the four questions raised hi the case, but on the fourth, which was pivotal, he held the' law bad.' He held the law providing for the consolidation of the city comptroller's office with the county comptroller was unconstitutional becausS It amended certain section of. the city charter without specifically naming them a provided tn the constitution. He also held the consolidation feature was one of the principal Inducements to the passage of the law creating the office of county comptroller and hence that law, should fall with the other. Four Tolata of Attack. Four points were raised by the attorney, Breen & Irerdrnan, who attacked the va lidity of tho law. First It was contended rtie law was unconstitutional because It was class legislation; second, that the muln law amended sections of th statute without speciflcslly naming them: third, that the title was not broad enough, and, fourth, that chapter xxtvll, the law pro viding for the consolidation, was a cognate act; that It Is unconstitutional because It fll"d to amend the sections of the charter relating to the duties of the city comp troller and that chapter xxxvil was so In separably conneotril with the subject of chapter xxxvi. creating the office of rounty comptroller, that It formed sn Inducement for tho passage of chapter xxxvi, and If chapter xxxvll Is unconstitutional chapter xxxvl must fall with it. Judge Rrdlrk held there was nothing In the law creating the offlie of rounty comp troller that would Invalidate It. But he held It was in consideration of the fact that the county comptroller would perform the duties rf the city comptroller that the legislature . fixed tho salary at $X.Vy for services which the law required the city to pay J7.tX) a year for. Mrrsrr Matn Par pose. Continuing the court said: If we sre permitted, as held In many other Jurisdictions, and perhaps not defin itely denied In this, to consider matters of Common knowledge with relation to the lilstorv of the legislation under view. It cannot be disputed that the main object In the passage of the four chapters dls russed upon the hearing was to consolidate the offices of city and county comptroller, and I am Inclined to think that this Is a fair Inference from the nature of the enact ments themselves. Such objert Is defeated by the failure of the legislature to properly provide that the county comptroller shall be ex-cffflclo city comptroller and to per mit the one chapter to stand without the other would be to effectuate an Intention thst never existed In the minds of the leg islature. I am not unmindful of the gravity of the question involved In this case. They are not only Important as nuestlons of con stitutional Isw. but they sre Important as arrecung the rights or he people who have voted for the county comptroller, and rights of the comptroller elected and the persona selected by him to perform 'the duties of that office; but when the ques tiona have been given careful and con scientious consideration and the court is fully satisfied that the laws are unconsti tutional. Its duty Is plain. A temporary injunction win Do allowed. Judge Redlck called Judge Kennedy in to consult with him upon this point In the decision and Judge Kennedy agreed with him as to the conclusion announced. In prefacing his decision. Jti.lge Redlck Bald It was always the policy of the courts to hold laws constitutional except where their unconstitutionality rrovrn. rler1v CO-OPERATIVE HOME GETTING Fratnrea of the entl-naaal Report ind l.onn Association. v The semi-nnniinl report of the Nebraska Savings snd lsn sssoclatlon of Omsha presents showing of business growth for the last half of the year.
