You are a good newspaper man. but you should remain a news- Daper man. and not take too many flights into the realms of the law. You stat® that the Common Law holds all contracts with minors void. The comm >n law does not hold all contracts with minors void, but at most merely holds them voidable. LTntil avoided by proper authority they are as bind ing as any other contracts. Thanking you for the space given me. I am Very truly yours, W alter L. Tooze, Jr . City Attorney. The last “ shot- affords us con siderable amusement as it shows that Mr. Tooze is but human and could not resist the desire to give us a poke in the slats. However, if Brother Tooze will carefully read that part of the article deal ing with the common law he will probably see that we did not use the word “ ALL” at all, he lays so much stress on. To be sure, we understand, and took it for grant ed that everyone else did also, that some action must be taken to render any contract void. Laws are not selfacting. Action must be brought before some tribunal with power to pass on unlawful acts. It is unlawful to steal, to kill, to burn, yet some action must be brought before any results are obtained or punishment meted out. We would hardly expect such a quibble from an attorney, but of some pettifogger, or perchance a “ newspaper m an.” We desire to sav that in the above “ flight into the realm of law ," that we are speaking only as a newspaper man, and not as a dis ciple of Blackstone.

A New Sign of Surrontler I f a German soldier finds it necessary to surrender to a Frenchman, he neither waives a white flag nor gives up his sword. He sits down and takes off his boots. The Germans are much better shod than the French and a French soldier invariably forces an exchange of shoes if he is for tunate enough to capture a Ger man. The Germans have learned this and several bodies on finding it necessary to surrender have seated themselves and begun tak ing off their shoes at the approach of the French.

Yet the first cannon ever taken into the field were of that caliber. A crude mortar was fired at the | battle of Crecy, fought in 1346. The early eannon balls were chis- led from stone, and the projectile, which fits the ancient mortar, is made of solid granite. Two pow erful men could scarcely lift it. These ancient projecti'es remain ed in use for a surprisingly long, j j time, for it is recorded that in 1807 a British man-of-war engag ed against the Turks had her mainmast severed by a seven- hundred pound stone shot from a Turkish battery.

U r Constipation, if Neglected, Causes Serious Illness Constipation, if nrfilectfd, leads to almost innumerable complica tions affecting the g< lierai health Many cases of t yphoi d fever, appendicitis a n d other severe dis eases are trace able to prolonged clogging of the bowels. Regard- tli e effects o f constipation, C. E. Ayers, 6 Sabin S t . , Montpelier, Vt., says: ‘•I wan afflicted with constipation and blllouaneaa for years, amt at times became ao bad I would become unconscious. L have been found In that conditio- roany times. Physicians did not seem to he shle to do me any good. I would become weak and for days at a time could do no worn Not Ion# s *o I got a box of Vr Miles' laixatlve Tablets, and after using them found I had never tried anything that acted In sii'h a mild and effective manner. I believe I have at last found the remedy that suits my case.” Thousands of people are sufferers front habitual constipation and while possibly realizing anmething of the danger of this coi (ition, yet neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious ill ness often results. The advice of all physicians is, “keep your bowels clean,” and it’s good advice. Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 2 5 doses. If not found satisfactory, your money is returned. * MILES MEDICAL C 0„ E lk h a rt, Ind. No. 1 1 . 130 acre ranch, 6 0 ^ acres in cultivation, 25 in timl>erW balance slashed. 12 acres in hops.
