Great interest seems to be aroused
by the prospect of the foot ball game
on the afternoon of Thanksgiving
day. The boys who have had tickets

to see the game and the athletic

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out Of ten, due to acidlty; there
fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible, avoid eating food that
is acid in its nature, or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
yelops acidity. Unfortunately, such q
rule eliminates most foods which arc
pleasant to the taste as we'll as those
which are rich in blood, flesh and
nerve building properties. This is the
reason why dyspetics and stomach
sufferers are usually SO thin, emacla-
ted and lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from we'll fec
body. For the benefit of those surfer
ers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy, sweet or
fatty food, and are trying to keep ur
miserable existence on gluten pro

try meal of any food or foods which

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

DR.. Edwards Olive Tahlets--the
substitute for calomel-are mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver Is almost instantaneous They
are the result of DR.. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets. These pleasant
little tablets do the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects.
They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or calomel. They take hold OF
the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the
| teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums So do strong

Urges Teaching Of Politics
In School Houses

rented by the city, will BY given up.
The school house will become the
city hall and Roy Good will add to his
other duties those of acting as civic
secretary of the community.
If the citizens of Chicago, with
100000 women just added to their
number, want the use Of their own
school houses for political instruction
and discussion only two steps seem
to me to be necessary.
In the first place, the school board
should remit the charge of 50 now
made for the use Of school house
for a single evening.
In the second place, man Of wide
experience and liberal mind should be
appointed as an assistant superintend-
ent of schools to take active charge
of the organization of citizens in the
various neighborhoods ints groups for
political study and discussion. This
man should also serve as secretary
and promoter Of the great movement
which is intended to make the public
schools the civic centers of the com.
munity.
II know a man who is eminently
fitted for that work and whose whole
heart is in the movement If his ap
pointment is refused on the ground
that the board has no funds for the
purpose think I can guarantee that
the necessary money, up to $4,000 q
year, will be furnished by people
whose only interest is their belize
that in no other way can the cause
of good government be so quickly ad
vanced.
THE use Of the school houses fol

elections were prepared and printed

police Searching for the Man Who
Has FIeeeed Thousands OF
Dollars From
Farmers.
BIG REWARDS OFFERED
Local police Receive Circular Offer
ina Rewards Agsresatins Over
$4,000 for His
Apprehension.

The local police department is in
receipt OF a circular containing de-
scrfotion Of q Iuan who is conceded
TO be the greatest Of all living crooks
and confidence men, The name the
man gave in his last job was George
i, Kramer and tlesides that name he
Is known to lave>at least forty other
cognomens.
During the thirty odd years Of the
criminal operations of the man he is
credited with having secured at least
quarter million dollars and is said
10 have the greater portion of that
amount at the present time.
Rewards that will total into the
thousands of dollars have been and
are still offered for the apprehension
of the man and the police throughout
the entire country are on the look
out for the clever rascal. He will no.
surrender without struggle 1t is said
as he is known to always carry a re-
volver in his right coat pocket and is
at all times ready to use it.
He demonstrated that fact when he
shot a banker in New York state who
refused to tell him the combination
OF the safe and to turn over the money
OF the institution to him.
The latest offense and the one that
caused the circulars to be sent arouno
was perpetrated In Ann Arbor on
February 16, this year. He worked a
scheme that he had successfully work
ed In almost every county in Michi-
gan. He secured the deed of farm
that he said he wished to buy in, or.
der to look up the abstract and in the
mean time made perfect copy of the
instrument. He is a clever forger and
it was an easy manner for him to
draw up a signed warranty deed AND
TO make any one think that he ownec
the property in question. On the dea
III Michigan he cleared $500.
One OF the worst features in the
whole record of the man is that hs
was the cause OF an innocent mar
