in RACE TO STAY.
No Drawing of Straws to Decide
MayOralty Contest.
Mr.. Green Says He Considers
Such Proposition Unfair.
LINES CLOSELY DRAWN
Three Candidates Before the
Republican Primary.
More Foolish Stories Used to
Injure Candidates.
LINES CLOSELY DRAWN

Councilman VIM. Green now is on
the track to stay. He is in the race
for mayor and will not be boosted off.
He thinks that he has gone as far as
possible and made as many overtures
as, called for towards getting the law
and order vote unified.
Mr.. Green said today: ST will not
think for a minute of being party to
any lot method of. selecting a candi-
date for mayor. I think it is foolish
to, decide by drawing straws. 1t is un-
fair. 1 am. now in the race to stay.
No one has approached me since Tues
day evenings meeting to get me to
confer with Mr.. Swendson.''
Any. expectations that may have
been entertained towards getting eth
er one Of the candidates out of the
race has faded away. Mr.. Swendson
remains obdurate and will not consent
to any other plan than that by the
method proposed Tuesday evening
drawing of straws-and Mr.. Green
lures to make. Both men believe that
they are in the. right. Both men can
be counted. therefore. as being in the
race to stay unless something unfore-
seen prevents.
S. A. Swendson, who gathered a
surprising amount of strength during
the past week. is losing ground since
Tuesday. Whether his strength will
continue to weaken is a matter of
speculation but it is noted that there
has been a reversal of form in the
support which was back of him.
Swendson has followers, followers who
will stay with him to the ditch and
this will have to be reckoned with.
However. Mr.. Green's friends claim
that there are more than five votes for
Green TO one for Swendson. Mr..
Green's firm position for law and or
der and his ability as business man
cannot be questioned. The stories
which are being circulated for the
purpose of hurting him are making
friends rather than enemies. One of
the latest and most absurd stories
which has been handed about is that
the clerks in Mr.. Green's store pur-
chased beer by the bucket full and
that 1t was passed from lip to lip in
the store during business hours.
Such stories bear a denial on the
face of them. Fred Q. Morns of Morns
& Myers, grocers, who was employed
by VIM. Green at the time that the
alleged occurrence is said to have
taken place, says: Having heard
that there was a report on the streets
and deliyeryn1Au some six or seven
years ago were in the habit~of bring
ing in and %trsnkfnges beer in Mr.
Green's store, I take this means of
stating the falsenesss of such a report
At the Tina mentioned and for eight or
nine years previous I was an ernpIoye
of Mr.. Green's, filling nearly every
position in the business during that
time. I take pleasure in saying that
at no time during that time did any

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near

Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But We get In hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind Of food

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-
hance Starch. as II can be applied
