SOME DEFICIENCIES RESUL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
, Lincoln. Jan. 20. (Special.) 'The
closest scrutiny of our expenditures
will show there have been no extrava
gances." declare Judge Kennedy and
cx-Governor Silas Holcomb, members
of the Board of Control. The board
had raised criticism in certain quar
ters in asking the legislature for $200,-
UW more appropriations than two
years ago for the maintenance of the
fifteen state institutions.
The board is also asking $46,000
for a deficiency appropriation, which
it declares is more than met by other
funds which will lapse into the treas
ury. The legislature divides the ap
propriation into funds, and each item
must he taken from that particular
fund. There is no lump sum to draw
from.
It is pointed out that the deficiency
four years ago was $100,000 and two
years ago $75,000. To offset the last
deficiency $89,400 in other .funds re
mained untouched.
In spite of the increased cost of
maintaining the 4.0C0 or so inmates,
which increased in number 10 per
cent in 1915 over 1913, on account of
war conditions, the two appropria
tions of those respective years were
about the same, $2,087,000, according
to the board's figures.
One itc,m in the deficiency list is
$625. salary for the first quarter of
C. O. Martz of Seward, consulting
engineer, employed to look after ef
ficiency in managing the lighting and
' heating plants of the institutions and
the wiring and plumbing and sewer
age. He is under a contract to save
twice his salary to the board in ef
ficiency systems.
The Board of Control, in all its in
stitutions, uses 36,000 tons of coal an
nually. It maintains electric plants at
the penitentiary to supply the capitol,
the prison, the orthopedic hospital,
the governor's mansion, the hospital
for the insane and the home for de
pendent children, and has similar
plants in Hastings, Omaha', Norfolk,
Grand Island and Beatrice.

Issue at Central City
Central City, Jan. 20. (Special.)
Sunday at. the movies is the para
mount issue confronting the people of
this municipality and many f pro
nounced ideas have taken a definite
stand in the tanks of the pros and
cons. At the present time there is
ito ordinance on the hooks prohibit
ing the operation of the movie thea
ters on Sunday. It is stated, how
ever, that there is a state law of the
"blue" variety under which these the
aters may be prohibited from running.
On thy other hand, it is asserted that
drug stores and other places of busi
ness fall within this classification and
consequently an effort to close the
theaters would mean the closing oi
all other places of business 'in con
flict with the-statutes. Although no
definite step has been taken at this
time, an effort may be made to pass
an ordinance prohibiting the Sunday
operation of the movie houses. It
is not known just how the council
stands on the proposition, although
two members to date have made put
lic their intention of voting against
an ordinance of a restraining charac-

of the family succumbs to bad weather or
any of the common ills. Because such ills
manifest themselves in congestion, which is but
another name for acute catarrh of the mucous
membranes, through which we breatne and through
which our food is absorbed, the. first step is to
remedy this catarrhal condition.
A medicine that will relieve contfhs. colds and tfrio: that
will restore impaired digestion, correct irregular appetite and drive out all
