It will bo observed that the Increase bsked for Is tn nmount tlljrt over the appropria tion for the hiennlum ending April 1. 1W9. but I believe that a eturty of the facts will show thut tha Increase asked Is war ranted.

Thus, It. will be seen, this bureau is ex pected to cover work which. In other states, notably Missouri, Kansas. Iowa and Min nesota. Is performed bv two bureaus, labor end itgrtculture. In the states named the two bure.tus combined hae total appro priations thst are from eight to ten timet larger than the present appropriation for the Nebraska bureau, snd from four to six times larger than the appropriation eskd for the ensuing hiennlum. What Other States Do. The Missouri bureau of libor. having ab-eMut.-iy nothing to do with crop eatimatea and agricultural statistics, has a biennial a--rop-'ation of tM.ooo. The Kansas bureau of labor has a bien nial appropriation for salaries alone of $22. ym. and has nothing whatever to do with crop estimates and agricultural statistics. All expenses of the bureau, apart from sal arl". are paid from the executive supply fund. The Kansas buresu of agriculture has a biennial appropriation of about WO.000, with the printing of all reporta furnished f:nm the executive council fund. The Micsourl bureau of labor employs an avrrsr ff twenty people. The Ne braska biirrau is at present limited to two bv tessoi of Inadequate appropriation. The K;r kh bureau emplo five people.

I tried Post urn, not prepared, at first, as it ought to be, and I did not cars for it. Since getting it right I have found It wonderfully beneficial. "The benefits derived from Postum the past year have been gradual but sure. The effect on my stomach was Immediate. It waa the only thing except th white of egg that did not distress me.

M'VEA SAYS JHE NEEDS HELP PlamblRB- Inspector Feels He Is Made Scapegoat af the City Hall. Is there a conspiracy In the city hall to down Harry McVea, city plumbing Inspec tor? Mr. McVea Is loth to believe such to be the case and points to several occasions when h has helped his party, but th fact remains that the plumbing inspector has been slighted by his fellow democrats. The first slam at that official came when the council, in making up the appropria tions the first of the year, refused to allow the plumbing Inspector a raise sufficient to employ an assistant which Mr. McVea said was necessary. The plumbing Inspector's department was the only department which paid for Itself In 1906, th expenses in all the others being greater than the Income. The expenses of the plumbing Inspector. Including his sal ary, were less than half the Income. The second slam at McVea came in the recommendation in th proposed new char ter of a raise In salary of $300 a year, while the building Inspector Is raised $700. The boiler Inspector Is also raised $300 a year but he has an assistant and a typewriter. while Mr. McVea must chase over to an other office when he has a letter to write, "I don't ar why I should be made a scapegoat," said Mr. McVea. "No man can say that I have not attended to my official duties strictly, and as far as party affiliation go I have done all I could for my party."

FIVE MILLIONS WILL BE SPENT Promoters Assert Thla Amowat Will Bo Invested Now and Thirty Mlllloa Dollar la Fir Tears. B08TON. Msss., Jan. Plans for the construction of an Independent long dis tance telephone system from Boston to Omaha and Lincoln, Neb., calling for an expenditure of $5,000,000, will be perfected, it is said, during the conference of Inde pendent telephone company oftlcers, which will convene In this city on Saturday next. Financial arrangements have already been made, according to Information at hand, and the details of construction and opera tion only remain to be adjusted. The project has been under discussion since last May and la being engineered by Max Koehler, one of the most prominent Inde pendent telephone men In the country, and by H. C. Stlfel of 8t. Louis. Officers of Independent telephone companlea generally will be Identified with the movement. Within the next five years, it Is ssld that approximately J30,OOO,O0O will be Invested In the enterprise. A. P. Matthews, msnager of the Inde pendent Telephone company In Omaha said when told of the dispatch from Boston that he knew the plans for such a line had been under consideration for a long time, but did not know of their completion. "We have been too busy taking care of the change which haa been made In the ownership of our company to become familiar with the plans of those In the east who are Interested In the trunk line plans," he said. "I do not know of any of the officials or owners of the Omaha com pany who will attend the session In Bos ton. Those gentlemen who were here last week concerned In the changes at this point havs all left the city. I could not say whether they went to Boston or will be there." NEED OF REFORMED SALOON (Continued from First Page.) to be, permanent in the best possible man ner. " One License to BOO People. "Wa furthermore contend that no mora licenses ought to be issued until the pro portion Is not greater than one for each 500 of population, so that each of these licenses would possess a very great value. We also contend that the price paid by the saloon keeper each year for the privil ege of doing business should be reasonable. We then Insist that. In. consideration of ao valuable a license, the penalty for the violation of law should be mandatory, and that no discretion should be lodged with any Judge or licensing board. "It Is our Idea that for the. first con viction of the violation of the law on the part of a saloon keeper or of his employes In the conduct of hla bualness. his license would be suspended for a period of thirty day, and that for the second conviction his license should be absolutely cancelled, and that he ahould not again be licensed to retail liquor In th state."

The law requires that cigars weighing less than three pounds per thousand are sub ject to a lax of 54 cents per thousand, and those weighing over three pounds per thousand are taxabU at $3 per thousand. The selsures have been made of cigars weighing over three pounds per thousand, upon which the 64 cents tax had been paid only. All such cigars are liable to seizure. The fault Is attributed to the manufac turers of the cigars, who are liable to heavy fine for putting them on the market. Dealers handling these short weight cigars are also liabl to the loss of their cigars through selsure by the government and will be put to heavy expense.

OMAHA IS FORTUNATE Haa On of the Oreattat Spwlallsta In America, Dr. Mllen of Our City Ia Gaining a World-Wide Reputation. When w say there ar hut few great specialists in America, of whom Dr. Theodore Milen of our city la on, w do not wish to confer the Idea that they are the only good physicians In this country. . There are a great many fin and capable physicians all over the United States, of which Omaha is blessed with many. What we mean by the greatest specialists Is that they are recognised as authority on any and all forms of chronic diseases and men who confine their practice strictly to chronic and long-standing ail ments of the human body. Thero are a great many physicians who style themselves as specialists, who treat only some one organ, such aa the heart, lung or eye. But a really true specialist, such as Dr. Theodore Mllen, who has spent the best years of hla life preparing him self to be the master of all chronic dis eases. Is not to be classed with the ordi nary doctors who spend a few months In some one school or studies under some old fcmlly physician, using his old, musty books that teach him th old ideas that were used a hundred years ago Ideas that are long past recognition by the bright, up-to-date man who haa long thirsted for knowledge to learn how he himself and others might lle. The com mon mlatake of thia age of hurly-burly la for the young men with high ambition to tire of preliminary work and rush Into the vertex of actual buslnesa or profes sional work but half prepared. Choose your doctor wisely. Be sure he la a man who thoroughly understands chronic dis ease and your case especially.
