he had reached the decision to make
an active canvass for the nomination.
Mr. Slack will make the race on a
good government and prohibition plat

party in Indiana has too long borne
the stigma OF being known as the

Met. as Asked.

o. l.. Daily. proprietor of the Wavnc

Gently made by DIR. J. f. Weller that
there was not model dairy in Wayne
county.
Mr.. Daily says that the Wayne dairy
is a model one and that he thinks
there are several others in this county
just as good as his. Mr Daily is not
in accord with the plan proposed by
the local health authorities and physi-
clans for the inspection of milk sold
in this city. He states that he would
not favor inspection of dairies by fed
eral inspectors until he understood
government inspection better than he
does now. He opposes the plan of
compelling all dairymen TO deliver
their milk in bottles and he is also
opposed to the plan of superceeding
the milk tickets with coupon books.

and Dr.. Bramkamp recently inspected
my dairy and when they left DIR. Hoov-

that he was we'll pleased with every

his clothes were of excellent mate

a good tailor. But the clerk in the
hat shop was young, and he stood by
watching the customer pull over an
assortment of colored hatbands un-
til he struck one that caught his
fancy. 'I'll take this one," he said,
handing it to the clerk.
"That's the New York Yacht

as if that settled the question. The
customer looked at him sharply and
repeated his statement that he
would take the blue and red and
