Police Should Stop Disgusting
Pandering to Tastes of

With a plain-clothes police officer

makes her blush at it's tameness BY
order OF the police department she is
heavily clothed, and her wiggling has
been reduced TO a minimum. Most or

ience.
Before the show starts, a vendor OF
the book OF songs some OF which are
sung makes a short speech in which
he offers free copy of the life OF
Mile DeLeon with each ten-cent
book. His talk is very seductive TO
a certain type OF mind, and he sells
many books. These soon decorate the
floor. while the life OF Millie is treas

cluded his campaign with a series OF
talks in barrooms and halls attached
to saloons.

brother-in-law, is said TO be the man
the mayor has in mind as Commis-
sioner Croul's successor.
