RHEUMATIC FOLKS
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are

Many rheumatic attacks are due

the duty of the kidneys is to re-

Here is Tacoma testimony to
prove 1t.

of her office as chairman of such

denied to those present who de-
sired to express opinions adverse
to her personal ambitions the
right to be heard and caused the
meeting to hastily adjourn,
Now therefore, be it resolved
that we protest against the said
conduct above complained of;
That We deny that the said Mrs.
Emma Smith DeVoe is the choice
of the women of the State of

has obtained; That we join our

lers who. led by Paul Remington
Istumped the city from end to end
Every trick known to politicians
was practiced. Money flowed like
water. Election boards were free
ly bought ON both sides. On the
day of the primaries hordes OF
repeater" went from polling
place to polling place, where their
respective friends were in control,
and voted for their candidate
again and again. In Irishtown,
thanks to padded registry lists,
many an ancient citizen who had
long since passed to his reward
was strangely resurrected, brought
to the polls to cast a vote for
Stuart, and promptly marched
back to the graveyard.
The Sixth stood by Bob loyalty,
all the tough wards gave enor-
nous majorities for his candidate.
But, so far as the immediate con-
test was concerned, in vain. When
the returns were counted, Stuart
was defeated by less than two
thousand majority. "The people
are victorious!" screamed Mac
Pherson's newspaper. Bob had
met his first repulse.
When Bob heard the result, he
gave no sign of disappointment.
The only change in his demeanor
was tightening of the lines
about his mouth.
Il expected it. 1t came too
soon," he said calmly to Reming-
ton, and added with sudden snap
of his teeth, But it's Mcpherson S

DO Regular Business.
Neuburger has filed a bill in
Circuit Judge Honore's court for a
receiver for the rich incomes of
the tip trust. He says that Rous-
so is the high financfer in a field
which incluues New York, St.
Louis, Milwaukee and Chicago,
and has created a tip monopoly
in hotels and restaurants. Bell
boys, porters, walters and check
room girls are supplied free to
these places-and the tip trust
pays handsomely for the privilege
besides!
Neubunger unblushingly ack-
nowledges that he is still part
ner of Rousso so far as the Savoy
hotel and Congress cafe in Chi
cago are concerned; but he COM
plains that Rousso has unjustly
frozen him out of his share of the
big business at the new College
inn.

"All right" Bob answered.
Your pay goes on the same until

This saying expressed the general
opinion very closely.
Frightened by the wholesale
exodus from the Macpherson
ranks, those who had yielded to
the fear of losing their positions,

themselves, sent word to Bob that
they would come out for Stuart

former had offered to the others.
