EXTRA ELECTION BILL
CONTINUED From First Pagel

CONTINUED From First Page1
1t was explained that it will take
at least six weeks to complete the
formalities and hold the elections by
law, before the vacancy can be filled,
and that to do this, will cost the
county at least $4,000. The present
Legislature could, however. by an
amendment to the Clark act of 1913,
remove many of the difficulties con-
fronting City Solicitor Fox, i'll outlin-
ing the policy which Council will
probably pursue.
The Clark act, it was explained to-
day, provides that in case a vacancy
occurs in Council. the remaining
members shall call a special city
election. and give ten days notice of
the same. This is mandatory, it was
pointed out, and there is little prob
ability that the city commissioners
will ignore the law.
To Arrange For Election
Arrangements for the special cleo
tions Will probably be made in Coun-
Gil next Tuesday. The primary eiec-
tion VIII not be held for at least four
weeks it was predicted. as the petit
tions of candidates for nomination
must be in the County Commission

probably be given a weeks time to
get signers for their petitions.
The special general election will
then he held and as ten days notice
must be given of this according to
law, it will be at least ten days fol-
lowing the primary.
Cost Will BE $4,000
The cost of the election must be
paid by the county, and will be at
least $4,000, County Commissioners
said. To pay the election board for
one election will cost more than
$2,5OO.
In the meantime.>C City Commission
er Lynch announced this morning
will probably be made
next week to divide the work of the
department of public safety, of which
Commissioner Bowman, was the su-
perintendent, among the other MEM
bers of Council, until a successor is
chosen. City Solicitor Fox in dis
cussing the question said that it was
not his intention to give his final
Judgment on the problem until he
presented the opinion, but that owing
to the interest shown in the solution
of the legal knot. he felt that some
explanation of the law was due the
voters and officials.

THE same argument holds good
against public drill. The men would
have to wear their overcoats, and the
exercise might prove serious. They
would become overheated, and for
comfort some might remove their
overcoats on returning to the armory

Rheumatism an Insidious Disease;
Begins With Insignificant Pains

Don't overlook the first signs of
rheumatism. Prompt treatment is
highly important, but the right treat
ment is the only kind that will do you
any good. Have you ever known of
rheumatism being cured by liniments,
or other external applications? Most
certainly not. Do not, therefore,
make the mistake that many have. but
bear in mind that external remedies
positively cannot reach Rheumatism.
1t cannot be rubbed out of the blood.
5. S. S. can be relied upon to cleanse
the blood and has been giving relief
from Rheumatism for more than fifty
years and some of the most severe
cases have yielded-to it. Write to-day
and give full information about your
case, and our medical adviser will give
you advice without cost. Address
