while doing her homework.
For many years l suffered with fe-
male trouble of every description, says
Mrs. Moore. Il was told an operation
was necessary to save my life. At
times l was not able to stand ON my
feet. l have cooked many a meal sit

Il had given up all hope of ever be-

music, this time put on by way of a
story called Broadway Bits and Hts"

assistance and assistants. Various bits
from musical successes are woven into
an appealing little story.

OVER DECISION
FOR CITY JOBS

Two good municipal jobs are
vacant. ~
Many good men want them.
Two municipal officials are in
a battle of wills to see who will
make the selections for the open
ings.
The vacancies are those left by
the resignation of w. HI. Glas-

as clerk, in the public improve
ment bureau.
President D. f. McLendon of

the matter of the appointments
comes under his jurisdiction.
C. E. Armstrong, city comp

that since he is head of the
financial department and direct

vacancies is peculiarly his affair.
Conferences, several of" them,
have been held between the two
officials, some of them have been
very long conferences.
