QUITS THE WEED

Joseph E. Bell, Well Known Attorney, Must Get Order of Court if He Wants a "Chew" or

Be Held in Contempt.

There are a great many tobacco cures, but only one recorded where a man has quit the weed by order of the court, and that order a good stiff one, too, made and entered of record in the regular form.

This is the cause of Joseph E. Bell, a well known attorney, quitting and staying quit, however, according to a story in the Sunday Star of Indianapolis. It was all started in the way of a joke, but the result has been no joke to Mr. Carter. While Mr. Bell was engaged in a case before Judge Vinson Carter, of Superior Court Room IVo. 3, Marion county, he complained of being sick, and a friend told him it was the result of tobacco, and suggested that he quit. Mr. Bell said he would if he could, but that he had tried many times without success. The friend then suggested that they have the fact that he had quit entered of record by the court, and Mr. Bell stood for the joke.

They went up to the bench of Judge Carter and told him what they wanted*. Judge Carter took a blue pencil and opening the docket wrote the following entry: "Joseph Bell pledges solemnly that from this day forward he will neither smoke nor chew tobacco, except upon the order of this court." Mr. Bell emptied his pockets of the weed and, according to the story, has not touched tobacco in any form since. Incidentally, should Mr. Bell wish to resume the use of tobacco, either in the form of cigars or plug, fine-cut or scrap, he must file a motion in Superior Court Room 3, drawn in legal form, and present it to th.e jjudge, asking that the order "heretofore made in this court, in a certain cause No. entitled be modified," or 'set aside.'" Otherwise, if Mr. Bell should take a chew or puff a stogie, he would be held in contempt of court, and could be fined or sent to jail at the discretion of the court.

A near accident occurred Sunday evening when a driver backed an automobile out of the garage onto the T. H. I. & E. track, directly in front of the 8:11 p. m. limited car, which was approaching from the west. When the machine was on the track the engine "went dead," and it was only by the quick and sure action of the car brakes that a collision was prevented.

TRUSS WAS STUFFED WITH BURIAL MONET

Insane Man Had Used Great Cunning in Concealing His Money For Three Years at the Asylum.

Although he had been confined in the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane at Indianapolis for three years, Everett Hamilton, whose death occurred a few days ago, had succeeded in concealing money to the amount of $72.30 all that time, no doubt with the idea that it would pay for his burial expenses.

The patient had used great cunning in concealing the money. It had been sewed up in a truss he wore all the time, and its presence was not suspected until he gave it over to the supervisor a short time before his death.

Mr. Hamilton was 60 years old, and formerly lived at Morristown, and acquaintances there were making up money to pay the expenses of his funeral, when it was learned that he had provided for this by saving the amount named above.

Law is Held Invalid—Is \ot in the Power of Legislature to Assign Judge Bartholomew.

An Indianapolis special says: Judge Charles Remster, of the Circuit Court, has given a decision holding to be invalid the act of the recent General Assembly, by which Judge Pliny Bartholomew, of the Marion Superior Court, Room 5, was to spend part of his time as presiding judge over a newly established Superior Court in Shelby county. The court held it was not within the power of the Legislature to enact- such a law. The court sums his findings in three conclusions, as follows: "1. That by the provisions of the act a new court is created and established, comprising the counties of Shelby and Marion, by the name of the 'Marion Superior Court' in Marion county, and the 'Shelby Superior Court' in Shelby county. "2. That the 'Superior Court of Marion county' as now established by law, is left in perfect existence and unimpaired, and no law or part thereof is repealed. "3. That so much of the act of 1911 as provides for and designates that a judge of the Superior Court of Marion county should preside over such court created by such act is invalid, as not being within the power of the Legislature."

The case will be appealed to the Supreme court immediately and will be rushed through for a final decision.

WOMEN'S BEAUTY

Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Com plexion and Dull Eyes.

The color in your cheeks won't fade, the brightness in your eye won't vanish, if you keep your stomach in good condition.

Belching of gas heaviness, sour taste in mouth, dizziness, biliousness and nausea occur simply because the stomach is not properly digesting the food.

The blood needs nourishment to carry vigor, vim and vitality to every part of the body and when food fer-

ment is not supplied. MI-O-NA stomach tablets give instant relief to upset stomachs, but they do more they put strength into the stomach and build it up so that it can easily digest a hearty meal without giving its owner hours of misery. "I had stomach trouble for six years—for days at a time could eat nothing at all. After taking MI-O-NA treatment I am in perfect health and can eat anything."—E. M. Campbell, 1200 S. Prospect St., Sedalia, Mo.

MI-O-NA is sold by druggists everywhere and by V. L. Early at 50 cents a large box. It is guaranteed to cure indigestion or any stomach distress, or money back.

Growing Tobacco.

Tobacco is a profitable crop, provided the grower does not allow his land to become impoverished. While the majority of growers seldom make mistakes in its cultivation, yet when it comes to selling the crop they are not so careful as may be required. High prices will be obtained if the tobacco is assorted, separating the short from the long, the light from the dark, and the imperfect from "the good, as every grade varies from the other in its price. Tiie buyer of tobacco usually makes a close examination, and if the tobacco is well assorted inspection is facilitated, and the grower makes a reputation that will assist him in securing better prices in the future.—Globe Democrat.

THE JUNE COLUMBIAN.

A Magnificent Fiction Number With Up-to-Date Features That Make It the Most Timely and Entertaining of Magazines.

Harold MacGrath's great fiction story, "The Carpet From Bagdad," illustrated in colors by Andre Castigne, with drawings by Sarka, begins in the June Columbian. It is vivid in picturesque situations, in that delineation of human motives and emotions, through all of which runs, like a golden thread, a vein of delicious, delicate humor, for which Harold MacGrath is distinguished. "The Carpet From Bagdad" is the brightest, most delightful fiction of the current year. Its author stands foremost among American fictionwriters of the day the products of his brain and pen are in eager demand, and this is the latest and the best. "The Carpet From Bagdad" cost The Columbian many thousands of dollars, in fulfillment of the promise that Columbian readers should have the best in fiction, as in every other feature of twentieth century literature. "The Gamblers" reaches its acme of thrill in the June Columbian. The situations presented appeal to the sympathies and enthrall the conscience of the reader. Never has it been so strikingly shown that too great a price can be paid for success, financial or political. "The

Secret Name," "The Man and the Mask," "The Incorrigibles," "The Reckoning," are among the admirable short stories. Altogether, the June Columbian is unapproachably the greatest fiction number of 1911, that has yet seen the news counter.

The June Columbian is its own best commendation. d&w
