EIGHT ARE ENTERED E The Reward Is Not Exlraya-gant-But $100 a Month Looks Pretty Good A A STANMnO FAMILY REMEDY For over forty years it has been used as A TONIC AND STOMACH REM EDY. Teruna aids the ap petite and gives new life to digestion. Alrendy eight candidntes have filed for the office of constable in Salem, and it is understood tlmt several others are feeling the, call of duty and also the desire to wear a star and have the iu thority of the state back of liim vdiin he steps up to a man, taps him on the shn.lder and says, "Come." bar.som AVoolery, who give.-, his resi dence as 3-14 South Twenty fifth street, was the first candidate to file. He was formerly on the police force and at one time ran for chief. He feels hi- coi'ld do the office justice a'ld is running on the slogan. "A careful. fearless ami im partial enforcement of law" J. W. Roberts, or i-rSf) South Liberty street, was the second to file on the re publican ticket. Mr. Roberta has done some running before as he was a candi date for the legislature four years r.gri This time he is Tunning on the slogan. "Prompt and careful attention will b given all the work of the office '' I.ou C. Brotherton, the third to f;le for the office of constable on the repub lican ticket, lives at 214 SH!e street and 8t present is encaged ns bus driver for the Hotel Marion. Accorlin.' to his slogan filed, he believes in ficient and honorable administration,"' and this is his first .ce. Percy M. Varney. of .122 North Hie' street, is well known to the community as the speed cop. His sloenn is. "'" forccment of laws as I find them," and he feels he could do it, as he hs h-"" considerable practice running down speeders on his motorcycle. John W. Holman, living at H44 Xmtl Front street, would like to be elect'"" constable on the republican ticket and has filed with the slogan, "Justice and courteous treatment to all." He has had considerable experience in military affairs, having been associated with th National Guard for the past 11 years. Lee V. Acheson, living at 1221 Saginaw street, is n contractor and is making his firM jump into the political arena. Mr. Acheson is running for the office of constable in Salem without a slogan, although the law permits him to sav what he would do in 12 words, pro vided of course, he got the office. W. D. Miles, whose residence is in the Hubbard building, will come before the voters May 19 for constable of the Salem district. He has made the race I before and therefore knows that life in .politics is mighty uncertain. His slog an is, "Strict attention to duties ivt nil times. I C. H. Pratt, living at 12rfl Fifth I street, is another candidate who knows what it is to sit up lafe awaiting the ; returns. But he is willing to try it again, has filed as constable on the re ! publican ticket, and is willing to take I his chances without A slogan. I The office of constable is paid by j fees, and they may run all the way from I $00 month to $100 when business is I good and a lot of people need to be ar rested and brought into the courts. It I used to be better, but as in all communi ! ties, when the saloons closed, the fees I of the constable fell off to an alarming j extent. But the candidate for constable hns i one satisfaction. He can have a pint j form on which to stand and make hi' ! appeal to the voters, provided his plat , form contains not more than 100 words, i The slogan is sort o't a vest pocket of j fair, as the law permits the enndidati only 12 words, and the average person knows it is pretty hard to tell just what one believes about a Job in a dozen j moasley words. They are up against it j almost as bad as the famous Finnegan, who was allowed fly six w i rd.i io I which to report a wreck and the el. nr i ing of tho track on his sectiou. After j writing two pages telling of the mil I road wreck and tho clearing of 1 h i track for traffic, he boiled it dow n to ! tho famous dispatch, "Off ng.iin, on I again, gone again. Finnogan." Eczema Is Conquered Greasy snlves and ointments should not be applied if good clear skin is wanted. From any druggist for 25o or $1.00 for extra large size, get a bottle of zemo. When applied as directed, it effectively removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns, wounds and chafing. It penetrates, cleanses and soothes. Zemo is dependable and inexpensive. Try it. ns we believe nothing yon have ever used is as effective and satisfying. 'Zemo, Cleveland. State Engineer Lewis Advises Dismisal of Chief Deputy Cantine State Kngineev John II. Lewis nt a meting of the state highway commis sion yesterday afternoon advised the dismissil of chief Deputy K. I. Can- tine on the grounds ' harmony, et liciency and economy", Mr. Lewis stated that he was preparing to read just his department and in the interests of economy he was compelled to let out such high priced men as Cantine who was drawing $1000 a year. This ends the long controversy that has riged through numerous board meetings' and filially went to the su preme court where it was held that Lewis was the virtual and actual head of the state highway department mid should have absolute supervision. At the last session of the legisl iture the departments of stale highway engineer anil the state engineer were consolidat ed under the head of the state engin eer. The state highway commission headed by Governor Withveombe and Slate Treasurer Kav held that thev could appoint 1 chief deputy to take the place of tho engineer ot the high way department and they proceeded to appoint Cantine. Lewis resigned from the scrap and then a tinn of contract ors carried it -to the courts where it was decided, that the will of tho law makers should be upheld and that the legislators evidently intended to do a little consolidating. Lewis took over the highway super vision some time ago and Engineers Holmes and Saddler were allowed to resign. Cantine was the last to go since, ns the head of the department, he had some information that was ot use to Lewis in the department. Now th it Lewis hns niost of the Inst year's road worK m liuud Cuntino has been tired. In his report to the commission II r. Lcjwis snid: V "Owing to the small amount of mon ey available for rond work during 1 ! 1 1 . as compared with previous years, it ap pears necessary in the interest of econ omy and efficiency that some readjust ment in the present organization be made. , "The vast amount of field and office work in connection with the settlement of outstanding contracts for work here tofore performed, makes it very desir able, if not essential, flint the field inei in subordinate positions, who ure f- miliar with all the details of this work from the very beginning, and whose ser vices will be of value to tho public in the settlement of these claims, be re tained so long as work can be pro vided. "To accomplish this, some saving in overhead expenses must be made. Since assuming charge of road work undo the recent supreme court decision, i has appeared unnecessary, under pres ent conditions, to have two administia tive officials. "K. I. Confine, chief deputy state engineer, has accordingly been assigned to work in Coos county. This work has now been finished. There appears to be no other assignments for him of ad vantage to the state. I would there fore recommend that the further serv ices of-the chief deputy 'state engineer E TRY WEST'S HONOR. Cost of Guards Far Exceeds Amount Paid for Labor Performed by Convicts Governor Withycombe is in favor of the "honor system" for the convicts of the state pen who work on the roads, and made a motion at yesterday after noon's meeting of the board of control to red iice the cost of guards. No one suggested that this system had been tried out by a well known former gov ernor, Osw ild West, for which West was roundly scored by all rabid Repub licans who were not convicts. It is expected, however, that if the system works under the present administration (hat it will be called the "Withycombe Honor System" and uuder that name will lose the alleged objectionable fea tures that characterized the West hon or system. The nutter was taken un der advisement. Hie necessity of the honor system was shown when it was explained that out ot an item of expense for convict labor end guard hire in the flax plant that T0(i of the cost was for guards and $400 was tor convict labor. In tho interests of the flax industry Gov ernor Withycombe lsked that some system be instituted to get more money for the eonviet labor. Warden M into also brought up the matter of providing the guards with a uniform. State Treasurer Kay asked what was the advantage of equipping the guards with uniforms and Warden Minto slid that "it would be easier to distinguish the convicts from the guards if the guards wore uniforms." The salary of Prison Clerk Frank Dnvey was raised from $1-!) per month to $i-10 per mouth. All of the stale institutions showed an increase in the cost of maintainance and it was shown the most of them would bo out of money several months befom the year wis' out. This was explained by the fact that there had been a great increase in the nuber of inmates in most of the institutions. be dispensed with. "Even though this step were not es sential ns a matter of economy, it would still be. necessary from the standpoint of harmony in the organization, wit the resulting increase in efficiency which will come through favorable ac tion on this Tecnmineiiffcition " DISSOLUTION of Partners hip Money Raising Sale Now is tlie time to purchase your - EASTER Supplies.

J When Health Breaks the cause is often found to be improper habits of living principally wrong eating. Many foods, especially .white flour products, lack certain necessary mineral elements, phosphate of potach, etc. These valuable energizing elements are abundantly supplied by the field grains, but thrown out in the milling process to make the flour white. The delicious, pure, easily digestible food, Grape-Nuts made of whole wheat and malted barley, supplies all the rich nutriment of the grains including their vital mineral elements most necessary for both mental nd physical health.
