The month Of June brings Joy
TO the homes and parent of more
American people and equally
more Joy and happiness to the
young boy Or girl who pass all
the quiz and final examination
and can say took the test and
passed. Ia most cases It has been
a struggle either on the part Of
parents or the student, and to tie
visitor it is ! great sight to see
such unity Of spirit, such unani-
NOUS enthusiasm, such high
minded christian young men and
women who are soon to enter lp-
on the great stage Of human
activities. II is indeed sublime
and inspiring; words are made
quate for one to really expfess the
real feeling until you can come

Why TRY THE CALVES
TON PLAN.

On next Thursday the voters Of
Des Moines will be asked to ex-
press their choice on doing away
with the present form Of city
government, viz; Chat of a rep
resentative republican, and inaug'
urate the commission plan similar
to the plan now il use in Calves.
ton, Texas; where a commission
of six men are elected and to.
manage and perform all duties
for the entire city.
While we favor some things in
the new plan, yet there are 50
many bad or untried features IN,
the new bill that we think It
might be a dangerous step 70 take
One main point is il lessens the
control Of the entire city affairs
into the hands of 4 few men, only.
three men can dictate the entire
course Of our city. Then it takes
away the representative part Of
the Republican form, and the six
commissioners could be selected
from one ward or one part Of the
city, hence the balance Of the
city would not have 4 man on the
commission. II you have read
history you knew that our fore
fathers fought, bled and died to
give us the right Of ! free govern
ment, equally distributed and rep
resented, and 70 lose Or give up
one Of those ancient land marks
of human rights is 4 last step to
Monarchalism, which may be
hard to regain. Then again the
civil service or merit feature of.
the new plan is IS much Of =
farce as our present police civil
service commission. We are not
al III defending the present bad
administration Of our city affairs
but We Do maintain that the fault
is not 8 much in our form Of
jgoyesnment = il Is, the class Of
men yeho operate the form. "A,

 Last Saturday Professor and Mrs. D. B.

There were well filled hampers representing the skill and in- dustry of the domestic science de- partment in the Lehi day school, and so the kitchen detail at McDowell took a grand holiday with the rest.

Charcoal Kills
 Bad Breath
Bad Odor of Indigestion, Smoking, Drinking or Eating Can Be
 Instantly Stopped.
Sample Package Mailed Free.

Other people notice your bad breath where you would not notice 1t at all. It is nauseating to other people to stand before them and while you are talking, give them a whiff or two of your bad breath. It usually comes from food fermenting on your stom- ach. Sometimes you have it in the morning-that awful, sour, bilious bad breath. You can stop that at once by swallowing one or two Stuart Charcoal LoZenges, the most powerful gas and odor absorbers ever prepared.
 Sometimes your meals will reveal themselves in your breath to those who talk with you. You've had on- ions." or You've been eating cab bage," and all of a sudden you belch in the face of your friend. Charcoal is a wonderful absorber of odors, as every one knows. That is why Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are so quick to stop all gases and odors of odorous foods. or gas from indigestion.
 Don't use breath perfumes. They never conceal the odor. and never ab- sorb the gas that causes the Odor. Besides, the very fact of using them reveals the reason for their use. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges in the first place stop for good all sour brash and belching of gas, and make your breath pure, fresh and sweet. just after you've eaten. Then no one will turn his face away from you when you breathe or talk; your breath will be pure and so much better Co you at your next meal. Just try it.
 Charcoal does other wonderful things, too. It carries away from your stomach and intestines, all the impurities there massed together and which causes the bad breath. Char coal is a purifier as well as an ab- sorber.
 Charcoal is now by far the best, most easy and mild laxative known. A whole boxful will do you no harm; in fact, the Aore you take the better. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made of pure willow charcoal and mixed with just a faint flavor of honey to make them palatable for you. but not too sweet You just chew them like candy They are absolutely harmless.
 Get a new, pure. sweet breath. freshen your stomach for your next meal, and keep the intestines in good working order. These two things are the secret of good health and long life. You can get all the charcoal Rec- essary to do these wonderful but sim pie things by getting Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges We want you to test these little wonder workers your self before you buy them. So send us your full name and address for a free sample of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. Then after you have tried the sample. and been convinced. go to your druggist and get a 25c box of them. You'll feel better all over, more comfortable. and cleaner inside.
 Send us your name and address to- day and we will at once send you by mail sample package, free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 200 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Mich.

OLYMPIC THEATtR TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Will Be Reopened Again by Emanuel Draehman Who Has Enlarged His
 Circuit to Include Bisbee.

With last nights performance the few days, it is announced. to be re- opened again soon under somewhat different management. Last nights entertainment closed with dance and the company which has been furnish ing the nightly performances will leave in a day or so as stock com pany, for a road trip under the man. agement of L. P. Anderson. who has been managing the theater.
 As heretofore announced, the pro- feet was backed by Emanuel Drach- man of Tucson, who has been success fully exploiting a playhouse at By sian park in that city. The Olympic has never been a money making prop osition under the present manage ment and Mir. Drachman decided to close 1t until he could perfect bet ter plan. He has now leased the Gros- setta opera house in Tucson and a Bisbee playhouse, which he will man. age in connection with the Olympic which he proposes to reopen in a few days.
 Mir. Drachman, it is expected. will be here shortly to look over the situa- ton and arrange for reopening. In the meantime all indebtedness has been paid or will be as soon as the bills are presented and the incident will work no hardship on anyone, ex- cept MT. Drachman himself. The pro- gram advertisers or any others with whom contracts have been made will lose nothing and it is expected that so far as the public is concerned there will be no effect except the closing of the house for a brief period.

the drawing room under a canopy of floral decorations and the bride was
 unattended. It was simple, quiet, but
 a beautiful wedding.
 The bride is well known in this city,
 having been intimately connected with church work and being of a sweet and pleasing disposition. she is favorite and beloved by those who have form ed her acquaintance. Mrs. Holland has been the head bookkeepsr for J. w. Doris for the past four years. in which position she was a most con- scientious faithful and efficient en- ploye. Young men have been tried in these responsible duties, but none have succeeded as well as Mrs. Hol- land, who is exceptionally capable in this line, which is a favorite occupa- tion.
 The groom is so well known over the territory as the manager for MT. Doris that little can be added that is new. He has been an AriZonian for l9 years, 15 years of this time being spent in his present position. This length of service with one firm is his best recommendation. In the execu- tion of the managerial duties in the extensive business. he has proved far seeing, and as having a comprehensive knowledge of correct business princi- pies, and more than that by his genteel and sociable manners has won not only himself, but his firm hundreds of friends. So it happens that the bride and groom have worked side by side, which business relationship has grown into something more sacred. In this instance they have been enabled to learn each others likes and dislikes and natures, through the severe test of daily contact, through business worries and pleasant times as well, so that in their decision they can look with full confidence to future of happy compan- ionship. The many friends of both the participating parties will extend most cordial and sincere we'll wishes.
