At the recent special election the
people of this city emphatically ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the
commission form of municipal gov
eminent. In other words, the peo-
pie repudiated the present form of
government with it's political and
ward bosses. The people demanded
the abrogation of political lines with
all its accompanying nauseating at
tributes.
The overwhelming majority at the
election spoke in a very loud voice
for a clean, honest and efficient gov
eminent, a government run on bus
mess principles; a government which
should receive a dollars worth of
value for each dollar expended; a
government at which the people can
point with pride; government cap
able of running it's this years bust
ness on this years appropriation.
The people knew what they wanted
when they voted for the commission
form of government. But, Will they
get it? Unless the voters look well
to the men whom they are about to
place in nomination they will not
get 1t.
The men who would conduct the
business of the city as you under
stood IT at the time you voted for
the commission form should be men
without hangers-on in the shape Of
c,iques and rings. They should have
a good, clean moral record. They
should be men who have made
success of their own business. They
should be taxpayers of undoubted
honesty and capable OF giving every
man his just dues. They should be
capable of judging all questions from
the standpoint of best interest to all
the people
In announcing myself candidate
for mayor at the coming primaries
/ beg to say that the platform on
which I have stood in the past, on
which ! stand now and ON which l
shall stand in the future, whether
nominated OF not, is the golden rule.

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome in Cases

The influence of heredity cannot, OF
course, be successfully disputed, but
it can be minimized or entirely over,
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while | was a coffee
drinker | suffered from bilious attacks
of great severity, from which I used
to emerge as white as a ghost and
very weak. Our family physician
gave me various prescriptions for i'm
proving the digestion and stimulating
the liver, which l tried faithfully but
without perceptible result.
HE. was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid~liyers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
Il was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning TO think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. / fear
ed it would be a severe trial to give
it up, but when took Postum and had
it well made, it completely filed my
need for a hot beverage and | grew
very fond of il.
Il have used Postum for three
years, using no medicine. During all
that time | have had absolutely none
Of the bilious attacks that l used to
suffer from, and | have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.
THE change is surely very great,
and l am compelled to give Postum
the exclusive credit for it" Name

On the same date Ruth OdiIle Bur-
CESS, the charming little daughter of
Mrs. Burgess wrote:
Il am only little girl, but ! want
to tell what Partisan Sage has done
for me. l had a scalp disease that
looked like dandruff and when it
was combed up there would be a
bloody water under the dandruff.

of hair tonics, without results. until
she saw the advertisement of Pari-

cured me, but kept on using IT, Now
