COMMISSION FORMS
DEFEAT FORECAST IN
SAVANNAH ELECTION

SAVANNAH GA, Nov. 12.-Early
indications point to the defeat of the
commission form of government for Sa-
vannah. The political element is align
ed solidly against it. A considerable
vote is being polled
Mayor George Tiedeman, who en-
braced commission government in his
last campaign for reelection, and who
ran on promise to give the people an
opportunity to vote on the subject, is
out in card denouncing the proposed
bill as unsuitable. Both sides are claim
ing victory.
There is as much activity at the poll
as there was at the general election a
week ago. Many of the best people ia
vor the change, but they are apparently
not in sufficient number to carry their
point Advocates of the measure claim
that the afternoon vote will be in their
favor.

PARIS, Nov. 12.-Paris will have it's

malady named Typhlite. This ailment
is not really of modern invention. for it
was known to our forefathers. 1t had
its vogue, it appears, in the early Ma
poleonic period, but was lost sight of
until recently. Meantime, appendicitis

Sounds smart you know.
AS to what this new ailment exactly
is, recent discussion thereon by the

information that its treatment is prac-

plan that has been adopted by the state
board of health and the department of
public instruction of Minnesota to pro-

of the University of California, who
will travel about the state in the per
foImance of his duties, spending as
much time as may be necessary In the
places needing his services. Three
schemes of organization are outlined
