Ellingham, a member of the Democratic state committee, protests emphatically against committing the Democratic party to the repeal of the county option law. The Democrat insists that ample opportunity be afforded to test the practicability of the lawbefore it is repealed. Several other Democratic papers have expressed themselves in like manner, but the drift of Democratic sentiment appears to be in favor of substituting township option for county option.—South Bend Times. The Times is nothing if not conser-' vative. Editor John B. Stoll's opinions are of value, and we regret that township or county option is not considered of enough importance for an op inion from the South Bend Times. The Indiana Democrats, especially these in , legislative cloth, need good guidance. ( The man with an axe to grind is always in evidence. The fellow whose h personal interest overshadow-s his in- J terest in party or good government is' ( on hand, as is also the one whose 1 . i ■ opinions always coincide with those' of the political powers that. be. But I ■ what counts now is an opinion given for the real good of the party, who | must accept responsibility. Perhaps ■ we overestimate the importance of this particular issue at this particular time, and if so, it is the enthusiasm of youth and the desire that the Dem-

I locrats do that thing that best serves : the purposes of good and wholesome government, for in doing that they the better serve the Democratic party. The Democrat appreciates the fact that both township and ward local option and county local option are temperance measures, so designed and understood. But we also understand that county local option is now a law, and to put into force and operation the Democratic idea, it is necessary to repeal another temperance law —the merits cf which is untried and unknown. Is the undertaking not dangerous? Who demands the repeal of countylocal option? Here is the argument of the Hartford City News: The majority of the voters of Indiana cast their ballots for a Democratic governor and a Democratic legislature because they preferred the township and ward units, if we must have local option, to the county unit. It was so in every other county in the state where there was an increased Democratic vote. ‘‘lf we must have local option,” indicating a preference for neither. The News should speak for the repeal of 1 county option and against adoption of the tc wnship or ward as the unit. But such argument is not good argument against the repeal of the present county local option law. It is the mind of prejudice against the law. The Democrat does not believe the law will be repealed. Sentiment maybe against it, but good sense and good politics—as we see it —will prevail. It' lis a Republican law, the Republicans 1 were so anxious to pass it that they .called a special legislative session costir g forty thousand dollars to enact it. It is their law and if the Democrats are as wise as we think they are, it will stand. Two years from now, will be socn enough to repeal it. NOTICE.

Thousands of women are using toilet preparations unsuccessfully. Cosme'ics fail to improve their thick, muddy complexions or to banish the pimples, blackheads and crow's feet. No wonder. Their trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They have bad blood, and bad blood in 93 per cent of the cases arises fitom inflammation of the mucous mebrane. Their blood is filled with poison which is certain 1 to break out in unsightly humors and blotches —while pale, drawn faces, deep circled eyes, stooping shoulders and weak backs complete the story of suffering and despair. Inflammation of the mucous membiane is catarrh. Banish catarrh and complexion will clear as if by magic, ! pain vanish, eyes will brighten, faces become plump and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes only with perfect health, and perfect health for women' can only be obtained through Rexall Mucu-Tfcne, the one positive and permanent cure for catarrh.

Mms. Swift, 44 W. 26th St.. New York City, the most famous beauty specialist in the world and an accepted authority on all relating thereto, has this to say of Mucu-Tone: “I can srongly endorse the claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure for systemic catarrh. -s tonic effects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking in energy and vitality, will use Mucu-Tone, tney will praise it as I do for its strengthening and healing qualities.” Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the blood, and acting directly upon the muco-cells —the congestion and inflammation of which are the sole cause of catarrh —causes them to expel the 1 poison and to resume their natural functions. Thus the membranes are cleansed —the blood purified and revitalized. We know that Rexall Mucu-Tone will cure every form of catarrh, no matter where located, of how long standing, or by what other names
