members are trying to speak.


 There is something wrong when members out of a great house present to hear discussions. If the discus sion is worthless, there should be some way to abridge it. If the de- bate has value, the House should be present to hear it.
 The public does not take seriously either Congress or the State Legisla- lures. The law makers have them selves to blame for that When a visitor enters the Capitol gallery at Washington, he feels a certain awe, ref1ecting that he is looking down on the greatest law making body of the world. But when he finds 19 out of every 20 members out of their seats and the rest inattentive, he is disap- pointed.
 This is shirt sleeves country. Our people are unconventional, they dis like formalities and fuss and feathers. But when a great historic body meets it should conduct itself in @ manner worthy of it's ancient setting.
 A state legislature may include many members that have no personal dignity of their own. But the body as whole is historic inheritance from the American pioneers. It is the representative of the state power, it's past history and aspirations for the future. It's sessions should be appropriate to all it stands for. Here is a field for the efforts of the women members.

\ TONIC WITHOUT A LAXATIVE IS NOT EFFICIENT SAY EXPERTS. AFEW SHORT FACTS THAT WILL
 CONVINCE A PERSON OF INTEL LICENCE QUICKLY

How many times have you heard your good family doctor say, when did your bowels move last? How many times do you remember when Mother gave the baby castor oil and s--fS your own eyes saw that same baby brighten up and shortly romp ~.ound and play. The reason of this is simple-elimlnauon was produced. The system got rid of the waste mat eSvr in the bowel that was causing the. trouble. A laxative and a cathartlc are two different things. A tonic will have no effect on the system If the NSwel does not eliminate waste matter ar.d a remedy that lays claim to oe- ing able to overcome toxic poison without that same remedy being an eliminent is absurd. You have to get elimination and you have to ellmA- nate through the kidneys, bowels or skin You cannot get rid Of waste matter in the bowels through the skin or kidneys and if the bowels are constipated you have to use laxative or an enema.

 Scores of Harris members have sig nified their intention of accepting the invitation extended by the New Ha- ven lodge and it was deemed advisable to charter a special train.

 It is just this balance in Herbal Lax a-Tone that has made Lax-a-Tone what it is today. The remedies that cannot get this adjustment and com bination because it is hard to get and also requires herbs that are expensive, cry out that their remedy is Q wonder full tonic and that it will rid the sys- tenn of toxic poisons, but still they say their remedy isn't a laxative as lax atives are dangerous are endeavoring to overthrow the entire theory of the brightest men in the medical profes- sion. They do it simply to attack on article of merit and hope to prejudice the minds of the public so they can sell their article that initiates Lax-a- Tone in it's method of introduction.
 A good salesman is taught to extol the merit of his own goods, knocking the other fellow does not make his article one bit better for if his article has the merit and excells his competi- tor, he has something to talk on and can leave the other fellow out. Knocking competitor simply boosts

COMMISSIONER
 FROM DAYTON
 GIVES ADDRESS
Tells How Ohio City Has Improved Conditions Un-
 der Changed Government.

An audience in the new High school auditorium was intensely interested last night in the illustrated lecture given by J. M. Switzer, one Of the commissioners elected by the people of Dayton, under commission form or government.
 Dayton has much to be proud or as shown in the exhibits made by MT. Switzer which if shown widely throughout the United States will do much to attract residents to that city, The city government heads are up-to- he-minute, there are many CIVIC wei fare organizations that cooperate with the administration, and a spirit has been engendered looking towards the aggrandizement of the city in the national eye. #
 Some features disclosed by MT. Switzer show conclusively that com mission form of government benefited that city. No bonds have been issued for operating expenses and the city has lived within its income whereas owing to. the one per cent. tax law of the state other cities have been obliged to ge into debt. With an increased in come of $3S,O00 in 1914, the commission management gave increased service to the extent of .$139,0O0. A purchasing department alone formerly conducted at an expense of $4,000 saved $33,00o. The city of Dayton was able to buy gasoline this wear for nine cents per gallon. The department of law estab- lished the constitutionality of Home Rule. The safety department with no head for nearly a year was conducted by the aid of the city manager.
 Another example of the elasticity of the plan was illustrated by the fact that with a shortage of $165, 900 in taxes, the department heads were able to economize and close the year with more than $50,000 on hand. A city op- erated garbage plant earns money. Mortality is reduced, a farm replaces the old workhouse, gardens fill the city's vacant lots, city and state en- ployment agency aids the unemployed and municipal exhibits instruct citi- zens who cooperate with the govern ment.

the other fellow.
 LaX-a-Tone stands squarely on it's own merit, it acknowledges that there are other remedies that are efficient Lax-a-Tone has and does publish it's formula and does not cure all diseases known to mankind, but will produce results in sour, acid stomach, sick headache, bilious attacks, constipa- ton, torpid liver. By correcting the digestion will dispell gas and bloat and is a wonderful general system tonic. As it's name implies, it is a laxative tonic and will produce laxa- tive results according to the size dose.
 Ask the many Lax-a-Tone users in Bridgeport. or ask Druggist Hartigan as to it's efficiency. There is not a harmful drug in it, then if you are not satisfied ask your family doctor if gentian, cascara, buchu, mandrake and licorice are not all recognized as standard and result producing rem- edies in troubles Lax-aTone is adver- tised for.
 Lax-a-Tone is for sale exclusively by the Hartigan Drug Stores, S1 Fair field Ave and Main and Congress Sts. Advertisement.
