of an unsanitary nature and keeping
meat unfit for sale. He took a thirty
days' continuance.
Pool Has Money on Hand.
Labor Commissioner Charles Pool has
prepared the biennial report of that de

Pool took hold of the labor department
on February 1, 1913, there wm IK1.18 on
hand In the casli fund. At the end of the
blennium, April 1, the sum had been re
duced to 75 cents. There was In the
traveling expense fund the sum of
H04.66 on April 1, 1913, but there were
two deficiency claims, which the legis
lature allowed amounting to J807.60, leav
ing a deficiency when Mr. Pool took
charge of 1501.99. which was squared by
the appropriation voted by the legisla
ture on the two deficiency claims On
November 30 of this year there was on
hand a balance of .',135.35, and It Is
probable that when the blennium closes,
April 1 that there will -still be a surplus
fund of approximately 11,600.

Explanation Made
Of Proposed Change
In the School Laws
i
(From a Staff Correspondent.) I
LINCOLN. Dec. 14. (Special.) The !
state school law revision committee, j
which Is preparing Its report for sub
mission to the legislature, is having con
siderable trouble, according to William
Hlchle, Jr., a member of the committee,
hectuso of a false understanding which
appears to prevail regarding the county
unit system which the commission do
sires to recommend. The Idea seems to
prevail that the election of a county
school board of five members will work
against local school boards, but this
Mr. Ritchie denies. ;
In a short way the proposed change In
the law Is about as follows:
If a majority of the school voters jn '
all the rural districts vote tn favor, these
districts shall be voted into a county
school district for purpose of taxation,
general administration and supervision. 1
Not'ce at the rtart that the adoption or
rejection of this plan of rural school ad
ministration rests entirely with the peo
ple affected.
After the district Is so formed a county
district ' hoard of education composed of
five memliera Is elected by the school
voters at the annual school election. To
assure a proper representation the mem
bers must reside In five different parts
of the county. Tills board Is charged
with the duty of ma:ntninlng schools with
terms of equal length, and all equally
well equipped in every rural district of
the county. These schools are to be sup
ported by a tax levied evenly over the
entire county school district.
In addition to this board there la to- be
elected hy the people one director for each
local school district, who shall represent
that local district at meetings of the
county board, make a choice of tlie
teacher tor h!s locil school, cull the
county board's attention to the needs of
hl local district and act as aecnt of the
countv naril, n atte"('Hnc officer, cus
todian of the pldstrlct property,, etc.
This will put the rural schools of a
county under the "same form of govern
ment as Is used In city schools where the
board of education selects the superin
tendent of the schools and the teachers.
The people of these districts . will elect
the board and the board In turn selects
the county superintendent, taking the of;
flee entirely out of politics.
According to Mr. Richie this system, as
used in Salt Lake county, Utah, has saved
the county $2,ono In the purchase of books
and supplies and In other ways has made
a saving to the county.

In the cnRlne and he was thrown several

AN OLD TIMER
BTaa Had Xxperlsnoe.
A woman who has used I'oKtum since
It cametipon the market knows from ex
perience the wisdom of using Tostum In
place of tea or coffee If one values
health and a clear brain. She says:
"At the time Postum was first put on
the market I waa suffering from nervous
dyspepsia, and my physician had repeat
edly told me not to use . tea or coffee.
Finally I decided to take his advice and
try Postum. I got a package and had It
carefully prepared, finding It delicious to
the taste. So I continued Its use and
very soon Its beneficial effects convinced
me of . Its value, for I got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking coffee
all his life until It had affected his nerves
terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to
Postum. It waa easy to get him to make
the change, for Postum Is so delicious.
It certainly worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does not
exhilarate or depress and does not stim
ulate, but steadily and honestly strength
ens the nerves and the stomach.
"To make a long story short, our entlro '
family continued to use Postum with sat
isfying results as shown In our fine con
dition of health."
Better health follows the use of Pos
tum In place of tea and coffee, sometimes
In a very marked manner. "There's a
Reason."
