of the dispensary officials under
such grave charges is, in itseb,
sufficient warrant for action by the

grand jury. The law imposes upon
both the grand jury and the Solicitor
the duty to investigate matters of
such character. To let it slip without
attention would be but to add
to the disgrace that the affair has

It is quite evident that somebody
has failed in his duty in the Lake

the statement elsewhere published
in this issue it appears that the Attorney

In men whom MEN pronounce divine,

A city man recently visited his i

of metropolitan life, said: "We have \
certainly been having fun the last j
few days. Thursday we autoed to j
the country club and golfed until j
dark, then strolled back to town j
and danced until morning." The j
country cousin was not to be stump-1
ed in the least, he began telling of j
some of the pleasures of the simple j
life: "We have had pretty good!
times here, too, One day we bug- j
gied out to Uncle Ned's and went to j
the back lot, where we baseballed I
all that afternoon. In the evening,
we sneaked up into the attic and
pokered until morning." A sturdy

to be outdone and took up the conversation
at this point and said: "I
