ELECTION DATE

Commission Expected to
Take Some Action Today
MR.. AGES STATEMENT
Excise Commissioner States He Thinks
1t Best to Hold Both
Elections on the
Same Date

The referendum election date on the
water contract is becoming more mud
died every day. The movement to
change the election date from August
20 to September has invoked consid-
cradle interest on the one hand and
apprehension on the other.
The latest feature is in the an
nouncement of Commissioner Walter C.
Agee of the excise commission to the
effect that the saloons may remain open
until o'clock p. m. the day preceding
the election. This reduced the financial
losses the saloon men would sustain and
throws a considerable damper upon
their argument against August 29 as
the day Chairman Agee says that the
county bond election should be post
poned until the referendum election.

purposes of both elections would be at

less annoyance.
To this effect 1t is said he will prob
ably appear before the Board of Rev
enue and ask that body to postpone the

for the two elections. but that Is legal
ly impossible on account of the 80 days
advertising requirement.

veloped yesterday when Riley d. CronlS

Mr.. Agee yesterday said: The saloon
men have a heavy fixed charge. They
are forced to pay more license here
than anywhere in this country perhaps
and they are entitled to consideration
I see no reason why the two elections
cannot be held the same day. 1t is

Did Not Make
Crucial Blunder.

During every presidential campaign
for the past fifty, years. 1t has been
said and repeated so often that the
saying has become proverb. that the
Democratic management could always
be counted on at a critical point in the
campaign to make a political blunder
Of sufficient magnitude to lose the
election
This has not been true in every in
stance, but frequently 1t has happened.
Many Republican politicians this year,
while admitting that the trend of
events was in every way favorable to
the election Of Governor Wilson, have
been secretly hoping and watching for
some fatal mistake on the part Of the
Democratic candidate or OF the cam
paign committee that would turn the
tide towards Taft or Roosevelt.

PAST FIFTY?
'CASCARETS"
What glasses are to weak eyes, Gas
carrots are to weak howels-a TO-
cent box will truly
amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so &C
tive as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages. but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm The only
such tonic Is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.
