Demand New Infirmary -In
Merrick County
Central City, Neb., July 16. (Spe
cial.) The County Board of Super
visors are at this time confronted
with a public demand that definite
steps be taken to provide on the
county poor farm a home suitable
for the inmates and family of the
keeper. A resolution submitted by
the Child Conservation league of this
city placing the board on record as
favoring the erection of a suitable
dwelling with all conveniences has
been rejected. In the form of a com
promise, however, the county farm
committee has tendered a report that
in their judgment it would be to
the best interests of the county if
the present tenant system be aband
oned, and that of overseer adopted.
They all favor the idea of the county
stocking the farm as a means of
making it less of a financial burden.
While the report of the farm com
mittee is not as definite as the reso
lution tendered and rejected, it ap
pears the board thereby reserved the
privilege of assuming the initiative
in the matter of bettering conditions
at the county farm. - .

Census of Wool
Stockings Taken
By the English
(Correspondence ot The Associated Press.)
London. July 4. Since thee lose
of the last colonial wool auctions in
teresting developments have occurred
in the wool trade. The war trade de
partment suddenly decided on taking
a census ot the wool stocks in Oreat
Britain, and, without publishing the
results, announced that no sale or
dealings in English-grown wool were
to be allowed, consequently all r.n
glish and Scotch wool fairs were can
celled. As the dip is about due, traders
with contracts arranged were anxious,
but they had hardly expressed their
surprise and astonishment when the
government suddenly announced it
would buy the whole of the English,
Scotch and Irish output for the sea
son of 1916, at prices on the basis rul
ing before the war plus JO per cent.
This is considered by farmers to be in
sufficient to meet the advance in other
commodities and deputations are be
ing sent to the war office with a view
of getting better terms.
Just what the idea of the authorities
is in buying the whole of the clip it is
difficult to determine unless it be that
they have designs on the Australian
clip as well, or to fix the maximum
prices for future sales in London and
other centers.
A belief prevails that by holding up
the English clip (which for 1915 to
taled about 122,000,000 pounds) an in
creased demand will be experienced
for New Zealand crossbred wool and
prices at the sales in July will be
dearer unless the authorities decide
to fix prices in the meantime,
In the manufacturing centers comb
ing charges have again been raised
and while, top-makers are trying to
get an extension of old contract prices
the wool-combing employes have
come out on strike for more money,
thus adding to the existing difficulties
of the trade generally. The labor
situation is so acute that top-makers
have decided to insert a clause in fu
ture contracts "that sellers reserve the
power to add to contract price accord
ing to increased charges made in
combing."
As far as the London market is con
cerned little business is being done in
Australian wool in view of the uncer
tainties existing, but where inquiries
have been made for raw material sell
ers ask higher quotations than those
ruling at the beginning of this month.

Little Attention
Paid to Note on
Seizure of Mail
(Correipontl-i.ee of The Associated Pn.)
lulv 4. Surorisingly little
attention has been given in this coun
try to the American note on seizure
of the mails. When published in
lv brief and rather exag
gerated summaries were sent by the
British correspondents. The note was
published in tun only oy tne nmca un
June 19, several days after the Ameri
can papers wnicn prmicu u
rived in England. On Saturday the
foreign office issued the text as an
official paper for publication on Tues
day, June 27. .
Almost the only important editorial
reference to the note is made by the
Economist in its issue of today. It
points out that "owing to lack of inT
formation the public in this country
has failed to understand the constant
references by President Wilson and
by leading newspapers in the United
States to the question of 'Freedom of
the Seas.'"
After quoting a large part of the
nnl tn Krnnnmiat savat
"It will be seen that a good deal of
feeling has been evinced, and that
great care and discrimination are re
quired in order not only to meet the
suseptibilities of friendly neutrals,
but also to avoid the establishment of
precedents which, under different cir
cumstances, we should not tolerate
ourselves as neutrals in a future naval
war. Supposing, for example, there
were a war between Spain and
Sweden, and the belligerents claimed
the right to intercept mails between
London and Paris or London and
New York, and to open all private
letters, would that pass? The summing-up
of the note is very strong. It
declares that the rights of neutrals are
as sacred as the rights of belligerents,
and' must be as strictly observed, and
concludes: Only a radical change in
the nreient British and French policy,
restoring to the United States its full
rights as a neutral power, will satisfy
this government.' Fortunately we
have an arbitration treaty with the
United States, which Germany has
not.

Advice Often
Worth Heeding
particularly when that advice refers to habits
that directly affect one's health and comfort.
Thousands, annoyed by headaches, nervous
ness, biliousness, sleeplessness, etc. often due to
coffee drinking have heeded a friendly sugges
tion to quit the coffee and use
Instant Postum
This pure food-drink is made of wheat, roast
ed with a bit of wholesome molasses. It has a rich,
snappy flavor much like that of high-grade Java
coffee, yet it contains no caffeine the drug in cof-.
fee nor other harmful element.
Freedom from caffeine gives Nature right of
way to rebuild and revitalize the mental and phy
sical forces.
There are two forms of Postum : The original
Poitum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum, a
soluble form, is made in the cup by adding boiling
water ready instantly. Some prefer one, some
another; they are equally delicious and the cost
per cup is about the same.
With most coffee-drinkers the change to Pos
tum marks the start to better health and greater
comfort.
'There's a Reason"
Grocers everywhere sell Postum.
