NOTES FROM KEIIH'S

Next weeks engagement of Cissy Lof-
tus at Keiths promises To be quite as
successful as her week az this house last
season judging from the advance de-
mand FOR seats. A great deal OF the pop
ular success of the clever little English
woman is TO be found I'm her personal
charm, though this statement IS no dis
arrangement To her finished art Few
feminine entertainers who have made re-
nned contributions To vaudeville have Dos
sessed the quality OF dainty "girlishness"
so marked IN her personality; and the
simplicity or her gowns and the easy nm
affected manner I'm which she announces
each imitation serve only To heighten this
effect and TO make her art itself the more
sincere and true.

IL Is A good while since any monologuist
has scored the hit at Keith's that Fred
Nible Is making this week. II Is not only
the brightness of his material that

of unloading IL that provokes such shouts
OF laughter as one does not commonly
hear.

recognized even without any introdtIc-

expect to get their pay at the expense

way. This explains why the vote OF
the Independent citizens of Akron Will
be cast for Mr.. Isbell next Monday,
for he has no promises or ravors TO
redeem at the expense of the people.
And what is more in his favor, he has
the open opposition of the time-servers

sites generally whose long pull at the
local treasury, through the indulgence
of u subsidized Board of City Commits

bankrupted and the expenditures o.

Last fall one Of the members of the

statement In the Cleveland Press that
II the citizens of Akron withhold their
consent to an issue of bonds for n new
City Hall, the Board will go to the
Legislature TO get permission to issue
the bonds without the consent of the
people, Citizens who are not opposed
to public improvements, but who are
opposed to placing large sums of mon
ey at the disposal Of the present Board

His election means the appointment of

not be afraid TO trust with the spend

Akron's citizens do not object to pub

to having the money for the same ex"

in which the Board made way with the

IN THE BOARDS BETTER DAYS.

How did City Commissioner Hugill,
Commissioner Baker and their fellow
officials keep the city from running
into debt in the days before the Proxy
system came into control?
Every morning they looked over the
city's balance sheet, noted how much
money remained on hand and gov
erned their expenses accordingly.
The present City commissioners
have paid no attention to the balance
sheets, Notwithstanding that the City
Clerk has supplied the same every
day.
Their zeal to promote the interests
of Judge Andersons political ma
chine has taken the place of balance
sheets and prudent management.
If this isn't so, why have the Com
misslOners created upward of forty
new offices to be filed by Judge An
derson's political creditors, when they
knew there was no money in the
treasury to pay them?
Why did they award contracts to
the highest instead of the lowest bid
ders? The fact that the favored con-
tractors are now using every influence
at their command to help the Machine
carry the election explains why.
Why have the Commissioners an
pointed high salarled inspectors TO
look after the cty's street improve
ments when the Commissioner law
intended that the members of the
Board should perform that work them
SeiNcS! bccause lDe more Ol1ceS that
were created, the more places were
found for Judge Andersons political
creditors at the peoples expense.
DO the people need further evidence
why very contractor, every job hunt.
er, every politician who has been fa.
rored in the past or who expects to be
rewarded in the future by reason of
Judge Anderson's control OF the city's
anairs are out working for the con
tinuati0n Of the Proxy system for two
years more?

when all other remedies fail. l can
heartily recommend Peruna as ca
tarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca-
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards cure of catarrh. If course OF
Puruna Is taken during the early spring
months the cure will be prompt and
permanent. There can be no failures il
Peruna is taken intelligently during the
favorable weather of spring.
AS sasystemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures cn-
tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh Of the head.
