The local merchants can meet mail order prices, and-have a cheaper and more convenient means of reaching the buying public by advertising in their home newspapers. TR K KKK KK KKK * STATE OFFICIALS TO * ae} PAY 'FOR CLIPPINGS * KK EHHF R KKK XK XK Those who supporfed J. -A. O. Preus in the primaries before June in. his desperate contest with Henry Rines in the belief that if he reached the office of auditor, there would be some auditing done, were gratified, although not surprised, when he came ‘out flat against certifying for payment accounts of newspaper clip- ping bureaus for clippings furnished state officers. It would appear that this practice of letting the state pay for this sort of thing has grown up as many other desirable practicas have grown up about the capitol. Hereafter, except as regards the gov- ernor, state officials must pay for their clippings out of their pockets. “When I was-insurance commis- sioner,” said the new .auditor, “I paid for newspaper clippings out of my own money, and I can see no rea- son why other state officials should not do the same.” The auditor explained that as the governor was not responsible to any- body except himself as to what is done with the contingent fund of $5,000 appropriated each session for his office by the legislature, that no doubt, if the executive wished to use any part of that fund for newspaper clippings he could do so, as the audi- tor’s office, under the law, has noth- ing to do with that fund.

Evefy one knows: that fishes of a1 most every ‘sort are, when fresh caught, “slippery and bard to bold. ‘This slipperiness is due to a sort of mucus exuded through the scales and is of the greatest importance to all slimy creatures. One of the important functions of the fish's:slimy coating is to protect it from the attacks of fun. gus, a fdrm of plant life found in all waters. If the fish i3 so injured that some spot becomes ancovered by the slime, a barely visible fungus will be. Hkely to lodge there,-and when it is once lodged the process of reproduc tion is very rapid -Ht soon extends over the gills and kills the fish. The primary cause of the slime ot the fsh is to reduce its friction when in motlon through the water and there by increase its rate of speed It also serves” as a cushion to the scales. which it protects from injury. ~ Against His Will.

The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itehing stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist. This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a never-ending soures of amazement to physicians. . ions 'or many .years bold-sulphur has oc- cupied a .secure-position in' the treat- ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying prop- erties and nothing has ever heen found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a perma- nent cure, yet in every instance, it immediately ‘subdues the’ itching irrita- tion and heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- tion again manifests itself. Any good druggist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be :applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold ereams. It isn’t unpleas- ant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Ec- zema is accompanied with torturous itch- ing. 4 Chronic Indigestion Permanently Cured. ““Six years ago,” :writes S.
