To the Editor of The Gate City:
Mr.. Gate City, just few lines
please. First, ] want to thank the
candidates who have come out boldly
and stated their programs. Some of
you are clean cut and definite. Some
of you are as clear as mud. But II
that's the best you can do, that's
alright, angels can only do their best
Still there are number of you can
didates who do not seem to have
any platform worth telling about
That's right, gentlemen, If you haven't
anything worth talking about, keep
quiet. commend you for such a
standpat stand. You can't fool the
people by looking wise. We've caught
on to your tricks, you won't need any
program after next Monday. You can
quietly get into your canoes and
take the old route down Salt river
CATER next Monday.
| A man who has not a program is
not safe man to follow, if he has one
and is afraid to make it known, he
| is not the kind of man we want for
a commissioner. The difference be-
tween a statesman and a politician
is, the politician hangs round till he
finds out what the people want and
he tries to get it for them. The
statesman studies conditions and tries
| to give the people what they need.
Our present councilmen are incompet-
ent. About that there is no doubt.
| II there is anything in man two or
four years ought to bring it out.
These men are not big enough for
their job. About this there is no
doubt. We do not expect perfection
TO- we are all men. not gods. But we
1 have a right to expect our city of
ficials to be above the average. They
have tackled the biggest Job In Lee
county. They did it voluntarily.
They wanted the job. Wanted it
badly. We gave it to them and what
has been the results? One went to
sleep, another has dug in the earth
and hid the peoples money, third
lone has gone blind and deaf / am told
1 he can tell the value of dollar by
feeling of It.
j The one that went to sleep does
mot want the Office again. Don't blame
him. The other two are not SO er-
|fected My, what pity they did not
4 all go to sleep, how much better off
the city would be. There are things
worse than going to sleep.
/ The man who dug and ditched the
money wants to continue to dig and
i ditch and when the money Is all in
the ditch and the treasury empty,
taxes go up and new bonds are issued
for the digging must not stop. You
tax payers are big hearted men and
women. My, it's great to see you
marching ont to the music of praise
our commissioner from whom all
blessings flow. To give him more
money to dig more bitches to get
more votes. Well go and vote for
the continuation of this merry-go-
round. l am told that another com
. missioner Is treating all the blind
tigers to new quarters. Think back
i over the past two years-don't talk
about it-just think 1t over Do we
want the same kind of administration
for the next two years? Don't fuss
and cuss about it. Think it over and
vote as you think

An INGENIOUS FROG.

Away down in Brazil there is a spe-
cies of tree frog that builds it's nest in
the water. This nest is sort Of forti-
tication for the protection of the frogs
eggs and later for it's young. The for
LITIGATION is built in this manner: Mrs.
Frog starts at the bottom of pond or
stream and lays a solid wall perhaps
two inches thick at the foundation.
This wall is built circular and gets 4
bit less in width as it nears the top,
which reaches some inches above the
water to admit air and light. It is a
sort of tubelike Enclosure. not very
wide across. but plenty large enough
to let the young stay inside after
hatching till they are able to look out
for themselves.
The tops of these little mud nests.
sticking out of the water, resemble the
craters of miniature volcanoes. They
are built so compactly that the water
does not melt them away for long
time after the eggs deposited in them
are Matched and the young gone forth.

FOR TIT CHILDREN.
Monkeys OutWitted.

There was once an exciting monkey
hunt at Glen Island. Long Island

way the monkeys picked the lock and
escaped. They hung by their tails to
the tallest trees and chartered at their
keepers. who tried to throw nets over
them. but failed Then the keepers
fired Roman candles into the trees, but
this did not dislodge the fugitives. One
finally came down and got into the
lions cage by mistake and was so
frightened that he was easily captured
and put in his proper cage with anoth-
err monkey that had fallen into the
river and been rescued.
A grating was then put in the cage.

The sight of the prisoners gorging

all ran into the cage and the door was

UNDER QUARANTINE

Washington, Nov. 1.-The department of
agriculture Saturday quarantined the
Union stockyards at Chicago to prevent
the shipment of cattle except for imme-
date slaughter. because of foot and
mouth disease. The governments action
was explained in a statement giving de-
tailed directions for the reception and
handling of stock and the most thorough
disinfection of yards and cars
The measures are considered essen
tial, says the department, ito the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease. Foot
and mouth disease is one of the most
contagious infections known and il 1t
were possible to move stock from the Chi
eago yards to the country for feeding or
dairy purposes there is grave danger that
the disease might be disseminated over
large areas.
up to the present time no case of foot
and mouth disease has been found in the
Union yards, but there is some reason to
believe that infected stock may have
passed through. 1t is at least certain that
the shipments of stock to Chicago have

UNDRESSING SLEEP

The woman who is tired out, who
aches all over when she rises in the
morning who feels depressed most OF
the time, needs just the help that DR..
Williams Pink Pills can give her-new
blood and stronger nerves.
The number of disorders that are
caused by thin blood is amazing and
most women are careless about the
condition of their blood. Quickly the
nerves are affected and the patient be-
comes irritable, worries over trifles,
does not sleep as we'll as formerly and
is not refreshed by rest. There may
or may not be stomach trouble and
headache. This is a condition that
calls for Dr. Williams Pink Pills, the
non alcoholic tonic.
Give DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial
and the first sign of new life will be
noticed in your appetite. You will be
hungry by meal time. AS the blood
becomes enriched it feeds and soothes
the irritated nerves, sleep becomes
sounder and more refreshing, your wor-
ries become less, your work lighter.
These are some of the things that
these tonic pills do, Try them for any
trouble caused by thin blood.
The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, will mail free to
any woman the booklet PLAIN Talks to
