NEWSPAPER ADVICE-"Cut this
out and take to the polls and vote
for those where cross is placed"
This kindly information will be deliv-
cred free gratis about April to the
electorate of Chicago by the trust
press, Messrs. Lawson, Mccormick
and Hearst, who have demonstrated
repeatedly their love and affection
for the working class are fearful lest
we may in our ignorance vote for
candidates detrimental to our inter-
est.
If an individual approaches a voter
in the polling booth and urges his pO-
Iitical preferment he is subject to ar
rest for violation of the election laws.
It is an insult to the intelligence of
our citizenship for newspaper own
ers to attempt to dictate by their
sample baIlote to vote as they desire.
The working men do not forget the
newspaper strike and the subserv-
iency Of the mayor and the police de-
partment to the newspaper trust in
terests. No public official can act
as a serVile tool to corrupt and am
bilious newspaper owners and serve
the public efficiently. For my part,

keep up the expenses incident to the
months work. Under the latter
scheme the teachers will be called
upon to foot the deficit.
While it is being suggested that the
teachers hold the bag and act as the
angora for some one, it might not
be amiss to relate the fact that this
shortage is being felt in lack of new
teachers to take care of the increased
attendance. This is particularly
true in the high schools, where there
is scarcely a teacher who is not doing
fifty per cent more work this term by
the way of larger classes. This add
ed work makes for less efficiency in
the classes and adds at least an hour
each day to the teachers working
day. This added work has been TAX
en- on without the slightest protest on
the part of the teachers. To saddle
them with what amounts to a direct
tax or ten per cent is certainly going
the hmit.-W. II. Wallace.

THE PUBLIC FORUM


the top of the Forum column as a
reminder to the contributors a short
letter is more apt to be read than a
lengthy one. Besides it is more in
teresting to get a larger number of
viewpoints. One thing we should
always bear in mind in discussing So
cial questions is that land, air, water
and sunshine are natures free gifts
to mankind. If we permit private
mOnOpOlizatiOn of any of these we
must expect a condition of society
where some have wealth which they
have not worked for, and where the
dispOssessed masses of the people
work for wealth which they do not
get. Remember that private land mo-
nOpOly destroyed Roman civilization
and is the root of many of the social
evils from which many suffer in our
own time. Read Henry Georges
Progress and Poverty. Weller.
THE SCHOOL FUND DEFICIT
The Chicago school board finds itself
confronted with a deficit of over ST.
100000 in the educational fund. How
shall this deficit be overcome? is the
question that is interesting a good
many people, namely, the patrons of
our public school system, the pupils
who are pursuing a course of instruc-
ton to make them valuable citizens
in this great country, and the teach
ers who have devoted years of study
and preparation to fit them to be ac-
3eptable instructors of our children.
Two schemes have been proposed
to meet this deficit: LIST, close the
schools one month earlier, thereby
saving one months salary to the en-
tire teaching force, which means a
cut in salary of ten per cent; or I'd,
run the schools the same length of
time as usual, but make no payment
to the teachers for the last month,
thereby throwing the burden entirely

To Have Beautiful Hair,

Dandruff must be removed and the
hair roots nouuished to stop falling hair
and itching scalp. IL is unnecessary to
have thin, brittle, matted, wispy or
faded hair. No matter how unsighly
your hair, how badly it is falling, or
how much dandruff, simply rub Partisan
Sage well into the scalp and it will be
all that is ever needed. The hair roots
arc nourished and stimulated to grow
new hair. Even all daHdruh is removed
with one application, itching scalp and
falling hair cease; the hair becomes soft,
fluffy, seems twice as abundant, and IA
diant with life and beauty.

liquid. is one of the most pleasant, in

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition, the less soap
you use the butter.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and IL leaves il fine
and silky. bright. fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. II Is

Rheumatism Soon
Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing to
Expel Poisonous Waste Matter.

Tired, over-worlled kidneys allow poi
sonous uric acid to remain in the blood
instead of expelling it from the system.
That is the cause of chronic rheumatism.
The disease gets into some joint or
group of muscles and settles there, aud
only strenuous treatment will dislodge it.
Rheuma softens the uric acid crystals
lodged in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing the terrible pains, and passes them
out of the system through the kidneys
and bowels.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. Unless it is pure the organs
become diseased. Rheuma puriies the
blood and the kidneys then regain their
natural activity.
n. B. Danforth, Market and Second
streets, Wilmington, Del. and all Drug
gists sell Rheuma at a price so inexpen-
sive that it is folly to be without it.
