Is a pad Dack MAKING you mlSer-
able? Are you tortured with dull,
wearing backache, and sharp, stabbing
pains? It's time then, you looked to
your kidneys. A cold, strain, or over
work has probably weakened your kid
neys and brought on that nagging
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells and kidney irregularities. Don't
wait for some serious trouble. Use
Doan's Kidney Pills. Your home folks
recommend them. Ask your neighbor.

Mrs. N. B. Sanderson, II Laurel
ST.. says: 81 have. found Doan's Kid
ney Pills very satisfactory remedy.
When my kidneys got out Of order and
acted irregularly, had dull backaches
and felt run down and languid. Doan's
had been used in our family for
years, so / took them. They soon put
my kidneys in good order and re-
lieved the troubles"

Breaking Up the Bomb Gangs

Effective work by the Chicago police is
breaking up the bomb gangs that wrecked build
ngs and assaulted workers. That community
has been terrorized for many years by dis
gruntled leaders who, for money or other
considerations, were able to hire thugs and dyna-
miters to intimidate men who dared to oppose
them.
Sufficient progress has been made in the in
vestigation to indicate that guilty ones are under
arrest and that the police will be able TO send
them to the penitentiary
The investigation of bribery and corruption
in connection with building operations in that
city reveals one cause for the excessive cost Of
construction work. Immunity from strikes and
other disturbances had to be bought for price,
which added materially to the cost of the work,
and manifested itself in increased costs to ten
ants
The whole field of construction activity in
Chicago will be clarified by the investigation now
under way.

Vote on June ,

The choice between the city manager and the
federal system of municipal government is the
issue to be decided on June ii. A campaign of
education now being waged by proponents of the
change and the anti-city manger forces will pro-
vide sufficient data for intelligent decision by
the voters. --~<
If the new system is to supplant the old one,
it will be accomplished only by number of votes
exceeding those cast by the opposition. Friends
of the proposed change dare not be apathetic on
election day. They must come out in full num-
Der if they hope to win for their cause.
The city manager system has been successful
in most places where it has been tried. Resi-
dents of cities whose administration is operated
under the new system prefer it to the old one
Results have been obtained, satisfaction given
and many of the weaknesses of the old system
removed.
Voters of Richmond are not asked to adopt
an untried and INFESTED system, but are urged
to install a form of municipal government de-
signed to give maximum results.
