BOARD OF CONTROL
COMES IFOR SLAB
Hoffmeister Criticises It for
Letting Deficiency
" Mount Up. -
DOUGLAS . MEN , DEFEND
(From a Stmtf Correspondent.) '
Lincoln, Feb. 2. (Special.) Criti
cism of the Board of Control for al
lowing state institutions to run up
deficiencies and then asking .the leg-,
islature to appropriate more monev
featured the discussion over the bill
to, provide $47,000 for institutional de
ficits at the Orthopedic - hospital,
Girls' Industrial school, Women's In
dustrial home, Norfolk Insane asyi
lum and Home tor Dependent Chil
dren. ,, , .
Mr. Hoffmeister declared that the
board does not appear to have a good
businesssystem to work on. He
wanted to. know why its biennial re
port had not been placed in the hands
of the legislators, so they could form
an intelligent judgment of what the
needs ot the institutions are. , . .
Got All They Asked.
'.'We gave them all. they asked for
two years "ago," he said. "We appro
priated money for septic tanks and
all that sort of thing and now, upon
inquiry,' we- find that some of the
improvements which were provided
for have not yet been made, and still
they are in the hole. Is that good
business management? Of course, we
must pay the state's bills, but we are
entitled to know more about these
things than the board has told us."
Messrs. Reisner, Andersen (Boyd)
and Trnmble . also questioned the
board's management of affairs. Trum
ble asked why it was that some insti
tutions gpt through , all right on the
money allotted them, while others did
not ,,....'
Severa 1 members came to the
board's defense. Mr. Richmond as
serted that as the state is growing
and the population of its institutions
increasing the cost of . their mainte
nance naturally goes up.
! Civet Board Credit.
Mr. Craddock gave the board credit
for scaling down the estimates of in-
stirtution heads by $800,000. Mr. Reis.
chick, chairman of the finance conv
mittee, said some institutions have no
large tracts of land and do not raise
much produce, which compels them
to buy nearly everything in the way
of foodstuffs. . .
"We must expect deficiencies if.we
insist on itemized appropriations, de
clared, Mr. Ollis. " '
The $47,000 appropriation was 'ap
proved in committee of the whole, no
body voting against it: '
An $8,000 National Guard defi
cieney likewise had the O. K. stamp

Simple Laxative Remedy
Best for Constipation
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Gave Satisfaction Whe'n
Nothing Else Would
Nearly every one, at brie time or
another, suffers from constipation, or
inactive bowels, and one of the few
conclusions upon which the doctors
agree is that regularity of the bowels
is an essential to good health.
In the family medic e chest of
most well-ordered households will be
found one "or more of the various
remedies' recommended for the relief
of constipation. In the majority of
homes today the combination of sim
ple laxative herbs with pepsin known
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is rec
ognized as the standard laxative.
Druggists everywhere report a con
stantly increasing demand for this
splendid remedy which is sold for
fifty cents a bottle.
Mr. James Ash, 102 Green St., Cum
berland, Md., wrote to Dr.' Caldwell
that he found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the most effective remedy for
constipation he had ever used and
that he always keeps a bottle of it
on hand for use when necessary
. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
mild, laxative, and does not gripe or
strain, hut acts gently and brings
relief in an easy, natural manner. Its
freedom from opiates or - narcotic
drugs makes it the ideal family laxa
tive, v ' ' - ' .. 1 ..
To avoid imitations and ineffective
substitutes be sure you get Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin. See that a fac
simile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and
his portrait appear on the yellow car
ton in which the bottle is packed.
A trial bottle, free of charge, citr be
obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.
