Lincoln Man Finds
Control Has Clause
That He Overlooked
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb.. June 21.-Speolal.)-
Attcntlon of Secretary ltoyse of the
state banking board was again called
this morning to policies or contracts put
out by the Standard Homo company ot
Birmingham, Ala., contrary to the laws
of the state. J. O. Lndd of Albion re
cently canto before the boanl and an
nounced that ho had discovered that the
company had no right to do business In
Nebraska and volunteered to quit the
company as its agent.
This morning F. It. Crick of Lincoln
appeared at the office of Secretary
ltoyse and made complaint that ho had
signed a contract with the company
through a man by the name of Strlckey,
who represented to him that If he would
make a monthly payment of $6 for one
year, amounting to $72, the company
would loan him $1,000 with which to
build a house, and after he had paid
every month $4 for a period of eighty
months tho company would cancel the
mortgago on the house.
Crick paid tho $6 per month for twelve
months and made application to tho
company for tho loan of $1,000. He was
Informed by the company that ho would
havo to wait his turn, and called atten
tion to the contract, which reads: "When
eighty monthly payments of $6 each havo
been received by the company the ap
pllcant will be eligible to a loan." U
was represented to Crick by the agent
that he would get the loan Immediately
It was also represented to him that at
any tlmo he wished to withdraw front
the company his money would bo rp-
turned to him. As soon as he found out
he could not get tho loan he .made ap
plication to the company for a cancclla
tlon ot hls contract and return of his
money, but the company wanted $3G for
canceling tha contract.
In a letter from the company, which
Crick had with him, the company states
that it has not been admitted to No
braska, although at one tlmo It was pro
pared to do so, but found that It would
bring them so much extra work that It
decided not to apply for admission. It
claims that J. O. Ladd was not its agent,
but that possibly he might havo been
working In a personal capacity for one
of Its stato agents.
Secretary ltoyse of the banking board
saysth.e company mado application to
do business in tho state, but the boanl
refused It a license a sthe company Is
In the nature ot a tontine affair and ns
such cannot do business In tho state.
Mr. Roysa advised Crick to take tho
matter up with tho Postofflce depart
ment on a. charge ot using tho malls to
defraud the public.

That easily explains the cause of many a coffee drinker's disturbance of heart,

It's a good idea when the body begins to show disturbances, to quit coffee and use

This pure food-drink, sold by grocers everywhere, is warranted pure and absolute
ly free from tho coffee drug, caffeine. It feeds and nourishes where coffee destroys

Instant Postum is made of prime wheat and the juice of sugar-cane, roasted and
blended to produce, a flavour much resembling high-grade Java.
A level teaspoonful of Instant Postum in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves in
stantly, and makes it right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping
spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount that plcasqs your palato.and have ity served
that way in the future. ' " '
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require boi'iug, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. . '

noon and held a brief session of the
district court, at which time he handed
down a decision in the matter of Paul

of the city of Nebraska City, wherein
they foiled to Issue a call for a special
election, after the city clerk certified .that
the petition presented for the recall of
Mayor J. D. Houston, charging him
with being an extravagant city official
and naming Paul S. Topping, as the
candidate to make the race for mayor
In his stead. The petitioners asked for
a writ of mandamus compelling them to
issue tho call for a special election. Tho

properly presented to them and It was
found the petition conformed to the law
ail to number of signatures and the
charges were of a general nature.
