Hisdale Standards: Robert Gibbons, of
the Michigan Farmer, in recent address at
Lansing. riddled Mayor Pingree's preten-
sions as a reformer and economist. Mr..
Gibbons showed that In the past four years,
mainly under Pingree's administration, the
public debt of Detroit had increased over
one third, and is now over SO, 900, 600. while
the amount used for municipal purposes has
been increased rs per cent, by pushing up
valuations, at time when property of all
kinds was actually depreciating This
seems rather poor record for professional
economist and ref0rmer to plume himself
on. And Mr.. Gibbons is not a man who
asserts anything which he has not the
papers to prove.

That is the feeling among people who

celery compound. They never feel happier
than when they can persuade some man or
woman who is out of health to try Paine's
celery compound. Next to doing good to

Republicans will, il they are wise, take
nothing for granted this spring, but will
turn out and vote the ticket. Every repub-
licaD has a personal stake in party success.
None of them can afford to spare themselves
the slight exertion required to get to the
polls and deposit their ballots. 1t Is duty
they owe to themselves as much as to the
party and candidates. Parties are made up
Of individuals, and their success or their de-
feat hangs upon individual action. To be
apathetc is almost as bad as to be actively
hostile. Every man who believes in the re-
publican party should do his part towards
bringing success to its banners. Stand by
the flag and poll full vote.

the north side of the street, the team took
fright at the street car and while Hilborn
was trying to hold them back one rein
broke, which made the team turn in circle
narrowly escaping trees and telephone
poles. Hlburn jumped out and grasped
the Lridle of one of the horses and was
dragged around the circle until the horses
stopped. The ground was cut up rather
badly but fortunately no one was injured.

induced to take Palne's celery compound.
If women, burdened beyond their strength
with household cares, would only take
Paine's celery compound, when they fee
that dispirited, enervated condition com
ing on, they would escape the martyrdom OF
backache, headache, disordered liver and
heart trouble.
Instead of being thin, nervous and I'M
happy they would experience the joy of per-
feet health, sound digestion and quiet nerves.
Paine's celery compound is just the rene
dy needed by women who are in continual
illhealth and spirits, seemingly well one
day and almost sick abed the next. Their
trouble lies plainly in the want of good rich
blood, and plenty of it, and in the conse-
quent famished state of their nerves. Paine's
celery compound should be taken without
delay. 1t will restore the health and stop
every tendency toward debilitated condi-
ton.
