its readers the card of Prof. H. H.
Cherry. of Bowling Green, formally
entering the race for the Democratic
nomination for governor. His plat
form of principles is sure to prove
popular with the people. His posi-
ton on the questions that threaten
dissension in the party is conserva-

representing the extreme ideas of
one faction can hope to win and the
people must be looking around for
leaders who have sound views OF
their own and who are not mere pol.

SALTS IN HOT WATER
 CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says We Must Make Kidneys Clean the Blood and Pimples
 Disappear.

Pimples sores and boils usually re- suit from toxins, posOns and impuri- ties which are generated in the bow els and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body.
 It is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins end impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pmples.
 The surcst way to clear the skin of these cruptiOns, says q noted author itv. is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will nreyent the formation Of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxjng them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimplcs.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with li- thia. Here you haVc a pleasant. cf- fcrvescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; clcanscs the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as

MANSFIELD WINNER
 IN LICENSE FIGHT
Man Who Was Sued By "ToodIes' Ryan for $5O.OOO Will Continue to
 Keep Ecrncroft Doors Open.

Middleton, March 2.-This town went license yesterday and the doors of Harry K Mansfields Ferncroft Inn will remain open.
 In spite of the charges made at the hearing in the Town hall Saturday night that MT. Mansfield, proprietor of practically the only licensed place in the town had paid men $3 to reg ister as voters, and that the payment of their taxes had come from Fern croft Inn in one check and the re- ceipt was sent to Mansfield, the voters gave a majority of thirty-nine in favor of license. The vote was. Yes, 143; no, 104. Last year the license majority was five, 107 to 102. There were only thirty-nine of the 307 reg istcred voters who failed yesterday to go to, the Town hall and vote.
 Five names were stricken from the voting list before the polls were opened-all names of men registered from Ferncroft Inn-and thirteen men were challenged when they reached the ballot box-ten ot them Ferncroft men,

made motion to the effect that the rate be fixed at twenty mills Be fore it could be seconded a mum Der of the voters had broken loose with long speeches and, for an extended period there was a flood of oratorv. ost of which was in opposition to an increase
 When it was told that Collector Austin had collected only seventy per cent of this years taxes. Charles As pinWall demanded to know how it was that all the taxes could not be col lected. You've got the property, haven't you?'' he queried. Deafening applause followed his speech when he wound up by shouting Make them all pay, I've got to pay my taxes!"
 Before the applause had subsided C. J. Mueller was upon his feet. Things wouldn't be so bad, he ventured, If some of those who applauded so boist- erously would only pay their personal tax y. A general laugh followed.
 Austin Not Ashamed.
 In speech describing some of the difficulties he has in getting property owners to pay up, MT. Austin stated: I'm not ashamed of my. work. When the town report was printed in Sep tembcr, I had been at work only a, few months and had already collect ed seventy per cent. of the total taxes" He said that before his term expired in May, he will have received the remaining thirty per cent
 Sidney M. Cowles thought that, no matter how high the tax rate is raised, the town will get rid of the extra revenue anyhow. He stated that the rate here is much higher than the majority of towns of Der lin's size. "In all the years I have lived in Berlin, 1 have never appealed to the board of relief asserted the speaker, and it seems that I get soaked every time I trim the bushes around my place.
 c. J. Mueller said that he had put sixty dollars worth of paint on his house during the past year. Realiz- ing what the assessors did to his list upon seeing this mprovement, he felt that it would be unwise to paint his barns
 Austin and Molumrhy Tilt
 MT Mclumphy stated that the tax collector should be given a definite period in which to make all his col lections.
 How long would you suggest ?" asked MT. Austin.
 About six months,,' was MT. Mo- lumphy's answer.
 I'm afraid. Mir. Molumphy,' re- piled the collector dryly, that under such circunsta noes, 1 should have been obliged to have gotten around to you before last week.
 Well, you've got it now, haven't you?t came MT. Molumphy's reply.
 Richard B. Murray said he wanted 10 go on record as opposed to an in crease in the rate. ..
 MT Aspinwal offered an amend ment to Mir. Savage's motion to the effect that the rate be raised only to seventeen mills. It was seconded.
 An amendment to the amendment hy MT. Murray for continuance of The original motion, as amended, was read by the moderator and passed by a decisive vote of exclamation.

 The gas had been escaping for some time during the absence of Mrs. Fran cis and her hostess and when they returned the poison was well circulat- ed through the rooms. Both were oV- ercome and had it not been for the presence of a third young lady they might have been killed. As it was the doctors had to work over them for some time before they were resus- citated.

 for Four Mill Increase to Clear
 Debts-Conccrt and Lecture to Be Given by St. PnuFS.

Rejecting motions for raising the increasing indetedness of the town, the voters at the adjourned annual town meeting last evening decided in fav2r of continuing with the. present rate of sixteen mills during the en- suing year There was a very hot debate before the matter was finally settled. aaa
 The matter of the tax rate was taken from the table following lengthy discussion on the report of the special examining committee, which is printed in another column of todays Herald.
 Gibncy for 16 Mills.
 In reply to request of Colonel 8Chares M Jarvis, Selectmen William IT.. Gibncy. gave his views recom- nending that the rate be fixed at six teen mills again this year He felt that the increase in the grand list coupled With the fact that a num- Der of last years expenses are to be eliminated this year, would bring in sufficient revenue to run the town government in a satisfactory man. ner
 Colonel Jarvis vas in favor of a ' higher tax rate. He said the town ' went behind about $10,000 last year on a sixteen mill rate and he felt cer- .8 tain that there would be similar deficit this year unless the rate was raised.

DRIVEN 10 SUICIDE
 BY HER ARREST
Is Belief Regarding Death of LltCh-
 field Girl at Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, March 2-Injured pride arising from her arrest two weeks ago on minor charge, is be- lieved today to have driven pretty Minnie Ives of Litchdeld, Conn, to dcspondency and suicide by gas in her room at No. 16 Harrison street Sun day afternoon. Medical Examiner $. M. Garlick is not satisfied about the manner in which the girl met her death and yesterday reported the case to Coroner J. J. Phelan for his inves- tigation. Medical Examiner Garlick does say that every indication is that the girl came to her death by suicide but because of the lack of a motive for it ne recommends an inquiry to uncover the secret details of the af- fair. Coroner Phelan will make an examination of the body today.
 Minnie Ives, who is twenty-six years of age. came to Bridgeport from her country home in Litchfield only a few months ago She was the pride of her father and mother and bore an excellent reputation. She worked in the Smith-M Murray company store and was soon to begin work there again.
 Not at Home,
 She took room some time ago at No. 16 Harrison street, which room ing house is conducted by Mrs Mary A. Hicks of No. SIS Fairfield avenue. When q reporter called there yester- day he was told that she was not at homo.
 Every effort to procure information concerning the death Of the Ives girl was unavailable. No one would dis cuss the case in the house where her death occurred.
 Closest Secrecy Maintained.
 At the undertaking rooms of Walker X Banks where the body was taken, the closest secrecy was main tained. No one was allowed to see the body lon orders" Who gave such orders could not be learned be- cause Medical Examiner Garlick de- nied wnen asked that he had issued any such order.
 It is said that the Ives girl was soon to be married to q local young l man of excellent reputation. About l two weeks ago it is alleged that the 1 girl was acting strangely on the | street and was taken to police head | quarters in the patrol wagon. She 1 was at first thought to have been in- | toxcated, but the matter was dropped | and the girl was not held by the po- | lice although her name was placed | on q card there.
 Worry Responsible.
 The rumor today is that this af- 1 fair injured the pride of the young lady and that she had not acted nat | ural since. The best theory obtain | able today was that worry over this | affair prompted her to turn on the I two gas jets in her room Sunday
 There was an unconfirmed rumor | around the city yesterday that the girl f had suddenly become addicted to tho | use of drugs and that the needle f scars" could be seen in the flesh of f her arms. No confirmation was ob- tainable, but this may account for the |
