Let on Commission.


Ed. Journal: l am no hand to kick,
and believe when men are elected to
office, they should be given reasona-
BILE authority to transact public busl-
ness. But we have right to con-
slider the way public business is
transacted. am a contractor, but
l knew before the work was let or
the plans decided upon, that certain
plans were agreed upon for the two
new school houses. They are mere
duplicates of the schoolhouses al
ready erected at the Garfield block,
and the Engelwood block They
have the same arrangement of the
furnace under the stairs that serve
as the only fire escape. The only
place a fire can start is right under
the only stairs by which all the
children must escape In that re-
spect they are fire traps and there is
danger any time Of repeating the aw-
full calamity that occurred in Ohio a
few years ago. understand the
board are paying nothing for these
plans and only pay the architect two
and one-half per cent for supervision
Of the work of construction. But
they did pay the same architect five
per cent on $4,000 repairs on the
east building. Now II they can get
new buildings erected for two and a
half per cent, why pay five for re-
pairs that were all put in by John
Gray and never required particle
Of attention from an architect. The
fact is no new ideas are wanted in
school house construction and this
was shown when the plans we're
adopted. One architect submitted
plans and specifications at two and a
half per cent, and two architects sub
mitted plans at three per cent The
man to whom the work was promised
and who has built all the school
houses in this city for years, was a
three per cent man and he was i'm
mediately called up on the phone and
asked If he would come down to two
and half per cent, the price the
Albany architect offered. Of course
he did and the work was let to him.
Now is that business and why ask
competition? CONTRACTOR.

San Francisco March 22.-In the
hope Of recovering the $4,000 worth
of Jewels stolen from Mrs, Eugene
DeSabla at the Palace hotel here
last month, detectives have today
Joined with the postal authorities in
an attempt to trace an anonymous
letter offering to return the jewels
for $4,000,
The letter was postmarked at Chi
cago. The offer required that De
Saba publish his acceptance in a
San Francisco newspaper, with a
plan whereby the holder Of the jew
els would be guaranteed immunity
from prosecution.
AS the jewels are of such q nature
as to be very hard to dispose of with
out detection, many Of the detectives
believe that the intention of the let
ter is sincere.

ABSORPTION PROCESS
MAKES FACES YOUNG
(FrOm the Home Maker)

Success has at last come to scien-
lists who for years have sought some
method of removing the outer facial
skin in cases of unsightly complex
ions, which would be both painless
and non-injurious. The new process
is so simple, so inexpensive, the Won
der is no one had discovered 1t long
ago.
1t has been amply demonstrated
that common mercolized wax (buy an
ounce at any drug store) entirely re-
moves, by gentle absorption, the
withered, lifeless cuticle, showing the
youthful roselike skin beneath. The
wax is applied at night, like cold
cream, and washed off in the morn
ing. The absorption also cleanses
clogged pores, increasing the skins
breathing capacity and capillary cir
culation, preserving tone, color and
natural beauty of the new skin.

END STOMACH TROUBLE.
Dyspepsia, Gas, Sourness or
Indigestion Go in Five
Minutes.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES;

As there is often some one In your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and overcome a
sour gassy Stomach five minutes af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula, plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will readily see why IT
makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes. and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas. Eructa-
tons of sour. undigested food, Nausea,
Headaches, Dizziness, Constipation
and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long TO find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia
or an out-of-order stomach with the
:nat they have about made up their
minds that. they have something else
wrong. or believe theirs is n case Of
Nervousness. Gastritis, Catarrh OF the
Stomach or Cancer.
This. no doubt is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is. what you eat
