Mr.. Trainer said in part:
"In twenty years the Councils have
been controlled by political contractors.
I have served through five administra-
tions-hardly through the fifth-yet IN
three out of those five contractors were
in absolute control, and they handled
the executive. And when I say handled
the executive, ! do not base my state
ment upon mere thought or perhaps
upon a little feeling. One particular
executive I have in mind figured out his
end of the contracts, and before an
ordinance would be signed the money
had to be Forthcoming.
Says Bribe was in Cigar Box
"On one occasion the man who
brought the money to this mayor
brought it in cigar box. and the
mayor at the time was talking to a
clergyman. The cigar box was placed
on the table. and the gentleman said
Mayor there is that box of cigars Mr..
So-and-So sent you and he retired The
divine and the mayor talked on a little
further. BY and by the divine said,
Mayor, I enjoy good cigar, let me
try one of these, and he goes to the
cigar box. Quick as a flash 1t was
gripped by the mayor, who said I have
a box here which Is a lot BETTER"
He declared that "the contractor in
fiuence is still rampant" and, without
mentioning the name of Ware, told how
he had been awarded the $1,000, 900
contract for the construction of the
sewage disposal plant on August Z, 1917,
and that only 10 per cent of the work
had been completed. He told of another
of Vare's contracts for the demolition
of old buildings ON Twenty-fifth street
in South Philadelphia, amounting to
$250,000, given on February II, 1919,

MakesLife WorthLivin

You cannot be constipated and happy
at the same time. If almost everything
you eat distresses you, and brings ON a
headache, gas on the stomach, heartburn.
etc, you can easily eliminate these cons
ditions by taking SEVEN Banks, the
fayorite root and herb remedy for stom-
ach disorders.
SEVEN BARKS will expel the dis
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons
and help you back to good digestion and
active health, making life worth living
again.
DO you sleep well? or are you troubled
with almost sleepless nights? While
there are many causes for sleepIessness,
it generally happens that deranged stom.
ach, liver or intestines are the real cause
of the trouble. If your appetite is not
good, or food distresses you, or the bow
els do not move daily, you can get quick
relief from these disagreeabIe conditions
by simply taking 10 to 20 drops of SEW
EN- BARkS in little water after
meals; this is natures remedy made,
from the extracts of Root and Herbs, has
stood the test for nearly 80 years, and
will certainly give you feeling of new
life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish the blues, don't neglect to
ask your druggist for SEVEN BARKS.
Costs but so cents.-Adv.
