out an opinion which would entitle them to cast their ballots for the republican presidential candidates. The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette says: ‘‘While we are not in position to question the wisdom of the decision of the state board of election commissioners to the effect that women cannot vote in primaries without some special legislation and cannot even vote in the election without it. it does impress us as remarkable that any special laws are necessary. The women will not vote as women—they will vote as citizens. The primaries are designed to permit voters to express their choice. The same laws that apply to men voters, it would reern at first blush, must apply to women voters. The state board owes t to itself to make itself perfectly dear to the public, else some will get he idea that the decision is in the nterest of certain candidates and is rimed at others.” Rents being a much discussed sub-

ject in this city, the following editor al from the Indianapolis Star will be >f interest to local people: “The New York State, Legislature in session at Albany has passed several bills intended in one way or an ifticr to check rent profiteering and o protect tenants. Just why many measures are needed for covering the problem is not made clear to the outside and as all the legislation , has been pushed through hurriedly, : it is likely that in enforcement they J will conflict in various respects, and confusion will ensue. One bill which has become a law seems to be in the interest of the landlards, rather than ] the tenants, though it was introduced supposed friends of the latter. It c limits rent increases to 25 per cent ' m any one year and it is now being asked by alarmed occupants of rental proi>rty what is to hinder a raise of 25 per cent each successive year. It is also suggested that many grasping ( owners who have already exacted all hey dared, will now feel at liberty to n * higher, while others who have c teen moderate in their demands may s >e encouraged to go to the legal limt. It is argued that too rigid and iliberal an attitude toward the owners >f rental property will have the efect of checking building activites, •ince capital will not be invested in his way if there is a prospect of poor 'eturns, but w*ith the opportunity mpplied by this law, building should s< •ertainly be encouraged. Os course « Jew tenants could stand many ad- . ances of 25 per cent, and wise landords would have a care not to kill g he goose that laid the golden egg by | daring too great a burden on the ten- <• ints’ back. Nevertheless, with the inplied right to make a big raise in •ent each year, the temptation would j be great and the landlord with the spirit of the profiteer burning bright might not resist The outcome of the g ten laws will be watched for with ... ~ d interest.

I MORE BENEFITS 1 SURE TO FOLLOW I WOMAN'S RELIEF intends to Continue Using Trutona to Add Reserve | Strength to Her System I Indianapolis. Ind., April 8. Mrs. I Ruth Mulryan, a well known IndianapI oils woman who lives at 412 West I Henry street, is deeply grateful for the I remarkable work Trutona did in her I case. One needs to read her followI ing statement to become convinced I that Trutona is possessed of unusual merit. Belew is what Mrs. Mulryan I said about the perfect tonic the other I day: ' “I was taken down sick a week ago I last Wednesday with a terrible head I ache. 1 had a high fever and my l»ack I rained me dreadfully, in fact, it seemed that every bone in my body ached. 1 could hardly stand it.’’ “1 was advised to try Trutona and it certainty worked like magic on Imy system. From the very first 1 ■ started to Improve, and today, I'm able to do my own work again. The pain | in my back has disappeared aud my iiead doesn’t trouble me any more." I “I intend to continue using Trutona. for if one bottle will do so much uood, I'm sure there are further beneII tits in it for me. I'm thankful or the I relief Trutona gave me and 1 hope i everyone, trouble as I was, will try this wonderful medicine." Trutona's healthful action reaches i every portion of the body, and performs its work falthully and efficiently. Trutona rebuilds diseased nerves and tissues, creates a healthul appetite and assists in the assimilation and dii gestion of the food. Trutona is now being introduced and j explained in Decatur at Smith, Yager i & Falk’s. John Stewart, who has been confined to his home since last Wednesday is suffering from inflammatory rheumatism and also has a high fevi er. It is thought that it will be several days before he will be able to return to his desk at this office.
