 A young physician from the city Twas called in to take the place of an old family doctor in d little country town while the old doctor took brief vacation. One night the young physician received a hurry call tfrom an old farmer who lived about five miles out of town. The young M. D. jumped into his flivver and was soon bending over a bed on which lay a boy who was in evi- dent pain. The doctor examined the boy for while and located the trouble. But he did not propose to let tho simplicity of the case pre- vent him from airing his knowledge of medical terms. He confidently faced the farmer and said:
 This case should cause you no great alarm. It is merely corrus- tified exegesis, antispasmodically emanating from the germ of the ami nal refrigerator producing a prolific source of irritability in the pericran- ial epidermis of intestinal profund ity"
 The farmer looked at the young doctor for a moment and then ne said:

Dr. Leonhardt Says

External treatments seldom cure
 Piles. Nor do surgical operations The cause is inside-bad circulation. The blood is stagnant, the veins fiao- bby.
 / The bowel walls are weak, the parts alm ost dead.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles you must free the circula- tion-send a fresh current through the stagnant pools. Internal treatment ;s the one safe method. Ointments and cutting won't do it. J. s. -Leohnardt, M D., a specialist set at work some years ago to find a real internal remedy for piles. He succeeded. He named his prescription | HEM-RO1D, and tried it in 1 900 cases before he was satisfied. Now HEM l RO1D is sold by druggists everywhere under guarantee. It is a harmless | tablet, easy to take, and can always l be found at Clark and Brainard Go. | and druggists everywhere, who will | gladly refund the purchase price to l any dissatisfied customer.

hot rejoiner fro the mayors adherents, who said the mayor was an advocate of city ownership.
 Major Henry H. Curran, the repub- l lican-coalition candidate, favors tie neckel fare and has endorsed, in the | main, the principal features of the 1 transit commissions findings. But the
 mayors admirers charge that Major | Curran represents the traction
 crowd" and that if he becomes may
 or, the fare will be increased. Major
 Curran denied he represented any one
 and said he would stand by his
 pledges, if elected.
 l As a corrollary to the fare issue, l the question of "home rule'' is involv- l ed. Mayor Hylan has claimed that the 1 city should run it's own affairs that ] the farmers in the legislature do not
 know the needs of the bustling metro 1 polls. He has chafed at the charter restrictions imposed by the legislature and his appeal for genuine home rule 1 has been echoed by the tammany or | ganization. But Major Curran, too, has come out for more home rule by l the city.
 l The other issues have been develop ed to some extent by the findings of the
 legislative committee, headed by Sena- tor Schuyler M. Meyer, which has
 named to investigate the Hylan ad- minist9ation. The mayors friends friends have claimed this committee ] was appointed .'to get soothing on Fly l lan,'' charge which was emphatlcal-
 ly denied. Although the principal of- l fficers of the city have been called l upon to testify before the committee.
 and some testimony has been adduced l tending to show irregularity in the ] police, dock and market departments, no indictments have been asked.
 Major Curran, who has long been l connected with the city government in ! various capacities, has claimed that 1 Mayor Hylan's administration has
 been inefficient, that the vast prob
 lems involved were too weighty for a ! "short sighted administration to ] handle. He has pointed out that the | running expenses of New York amount to nearly million dollars day and
 that the business of being mayor sim ply means the immediate application of business methods, with regard to planning for future growth and devel- opment.

sues and all the candidates may not admit that the fare problem is upper most, but it is the subject most talked about just now
 As several millions of persons have to travel to and from work each day on the subway, elevated or surface lines the fare question hits the pocketbook and accounts for the general interest.
 Mayor John F. Hylan. who is seek ing reelection on the Tamnany ticket. long ago proclaimed himself the origin al champion of the fve-cent fare. He fought attempts of the various com panies to raise the fare in war days and carried his fight to the legislature. His opponents, however, have not been lacking in political sagacity, and they too have pledged themselves to 8 nickel fare. But the mayors support CTS claimed the enemy stole his thunder

and have charged that the promises of some of the candidates have been made for campaign purposes only.
 Additional interest was created re- gently when the transit commission. appointed by the legislature to inves- tigate the traction lines, recommended that the five-cent fare be retained for one year, pending final decision. The recommendation was made in a pre- liminary report and the mayors sup porters properly raised the cry that the report was issued to influence votes They asserted. that 1ocphole was left
 whereby the fare might eventually be increased. The commission, in reply denied that any ulterior motive was involved.
 The commission, in it's report, also recommended that the lines be muni- cipally owned. This caused another

ALBANY PLANNING S3OO,OOO ISSUE
 FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Education Board Petitions City Council for Aid in Big Move ment-Mayor Payne
 Indorses Idea

Albany. April 15.-( Special )-The Albany city council last night received a proposal from the municipal board of education for bond issue. of $300,- 900 for erection of new high school building, purchase of additional play grounds and equipment for the local educational institutions. The proposal was received at a special meeting of the aldermen and was taken under advisement.
 Several members of the board of education appeared before the alder manic body and urged immediate steps to relieve the congested condition of the local schools. A bond issue for erection of an additional building has been under consideration several months, the council awaiting word from the board regarding the specific amount needed, and the board in turn, awaiting word from the school archi- tects giving the estimated total nec- essary for completion of the expansi on plans.
 Mayor E. c. Payne addressed the council on the betterment and expan- sion of the schools, declaring he be- lieved the public generally stands be- hind the administration in it's plans for giving the children of Albany more educational opportunities.
 But we must not only build school big enough to accommodate the chil- dren of our ~wn city alo>>e but it must be big enough to accommodate chi1- dren of neighboring communities as well" Mayor Payne said.

To Get The Full Value

By ST. ELMO MASsENGALE, President, MassengaIe Advertising
 Areucv

One time there was man who ad- vertised and built up his sales to where they reached splendid volume. After building up his sales to this roint, he decided that it was no long CT necessary to advertise.
 For while after he stopped ad- vertising, sales went on as usual, but gradually they commenced to fall off In spite of redoubled sales efforts, the volume of business kept growing smaller. Al last sales reached a dan gerously low point. The man decided to advertise once more.
 The public has short memory It mad forgotten the commodity and it's past advertising, Consequently the manufacturer had to spend thousands of dollars in once more building up his sales. He found that the cost of again bringing his sales volume up sto normal was greatly in excess of what 1t would have cost him if he had consistently advertised instead of letting people forget his commodity,
 There Is only one way to advertise That way is to consistently advertise month after month and year after year, getting the full accumulated value rom your advertising expendi- ~~eA -, AhO auNeTllSer WnO stops dd Vertising encourages competitors to enter his field and, by advertising. wax fat at his expense.
 When business conditions are bad. some people cut down their expenses by disseminating their advertising. other ways of cutting down expense are to discontinue paying the rent and 10 smut the blinds and close down the business.
