cian for the job. In one way or an other this position has been a political reward ever since it was created. L H. Wright, the first ap pointee, was rewarded for work he did in behalf of former Governor Goodrich. When he went out Law renc Lyons took his place. The law says that the commission shall se )4t t the director, but it was conceded ¥ tsat Governor McCray chose Lyons, or at least told the commission to choose him. Lyons had been campaign manager for Governor McCray. Lyons is preparing to quit, to be a candidate for Republican state chairman. He will contest with Wasmv.th the present chairman, for the place. From present indications, the director j will be chosen by the professional politicians. Matt Brown, of Lake county, has been in favor because he had strong political backing. Luke W.

What the Consumer Buys is Service WHAT you Huy from the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is service. This service may be expressed in mileage from gasoline or reduction of frictional wear from a lubricant or a good clear flame from kerosene. Every product made by this Company is designed to render a specific, definite service. This service to be constant and dependable must be based—first upon highest technical knowledge and second upon permanency of organization. There can be no lasting service in any manufactured article unless there be stamina in the organization that makes it. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a long and honorable record in producing petroleum products of the highest quality. This is because its organization is essentially scientific; because through a period of years it has built up a personnel of experts. These men know what the public demands from petroleum and they know how to create products which will supply this need. Each product conforms to a standard, set to yield maximum service. The series of petroleum products made by this Company round out a cycle of service which supplies every need of the community. As a specific example, take candles. One might think, that in these days of gas and electricity, the humble candle had been discarded, but it has not. Twenty-two million pounds of candles are consumed yearly in the United States, of which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) last year produced 7,649,000 pounds. Thus, through the long list of products made by this Company, the needs of small groups of people throughout 11 Middle Western States are recognized and cared for with the same forethought and efficiency, as are the wholesale requirements of motorists and manufacturers. This too, is service. Standard Oil Company (Minna) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 2711

never wore friendly to the commission scheme, and that it would be a mistake to place him at its head. The highway department spends more money than any other state department. It is beset by people who wish state roads in their localities. It must act with the greatest prudence and diligence in behalf ot the people Left alone the members of the commission probably would name a director who would be a good man for the place, but as long as the members must take orders It is likely that a politician will get the job—lndiana polls News. By a decisive vote the people of Detroit have decreed municipal ownership and operation ot the street railway lines In that city. This will be about the most ambitious and exten give experiment in municipal owner ship so far undertaken in this country and the result of Detroit's great ad venture into the field of public service will be everywhere observed with

lively and direct interest. However, municipal ownership is no new exper inient to Detroit. It was in that city under the picturesque Mayor Hazen S Pingree that the first considerable municipal electric lighting enterprise was undertaken in this country. Il was attended by success. Mayor Couzens, who has fathered the muni cipal street railway venture, Is a greai municipal administrator as well as a I notable business executive. If muni cipal owmership on so great a scale at is now to be tried can succeed he is in all respects the man to boss the job. Detroit is going to risk some thing like twenty millions of dollars in the enterprise. That is some conisiderable hazard of public money and I the people of Detroit will expect some thing for their huge expenditure.— Fort Wayne Evening Press. We feel sure that the Democrats of Adams county will vote almost unan I imously for John Tyndall for congress

CHANGE IN RULES The basket ball fans and close fol lowers of the famous indoor sport in this city will notice several changes in the rules when the season opens next fall. The changes have been made and approved by the national board, most of them relating to the matter of fouls. The most effective change in the rules is that the foul or free throw line is to be extended across the entire floor, which marks off the fifteen foot zone. A personal foul committee within these zones awards the offended team two three throws. A personal foul committed on the center of the floor will net one free throw, no free throws being awarded on technical fouls but tfpon which the referee allows the opposite side to work the ball in on the out of bounds play.

The new ruling will decrease the number of free throws made during a game and the winner will be determined by the most field goals.

No beter loved comedian is to be found on the stage of today than Jobrtny Healy, a veteran of many years of successful ministrel work, who is again one of the stars of the Al. G. Held Ministrels, which comes to the Majestic Theatre, Ft . Wayne, next Sunday. April 23, matinee and night. Mr. Healy made a classic of the wellknown Old Black Joe of minstrel and ballad fame. There isn’t a man woman or child in the United States, without doubt who odesn't know and love the old song ‘‘ol’ Black Joe" and there are few who haven't seen Johnny Healy’s eminent characterization of the famous old darky. It has been one of his favorite characterizations these many years that he has been identified with the Al. G. Field organization. Mr. Field having featured him in that role because of his unusual apt work in that sort of comedy. In addition, Mr. Field has cast the comedian in many other roles depicting quaint elderly negro characters and one of these is a distinct hit in the present production. Mr Healy has the part of an aged darkey in the skit programmed at “The Hunt,” in which he gives an excellent delineation of such a person of the old days "down in Dixie.” Allen Claims to End Rheumatism ALLKNRHU relieves at once. One bottle—a foil pint—will show you the way to complete recovery or your druggist will gladly return your money. Immediately after you start to take It the good work begins. It searches out the uric acid deposits, dissolves the secretions and drives rheumatic poison out of the body through the kidneys and bowels. It’s marvelous how quickly it a<ts. Blessed relief often comes in two days, and even in cases where the suffering is most painful all traces disappear in a week. Mr. James H. Allen, of Congress Avenue. Rochester. N. Y., the discoverer of ALLKNRHU, who for many years suffered the torments of acute rheumatism, desires all sufferers to know that he does not want a cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu shows immediate results, ami lie has Instructed druggists to guarantee one full pint bottle in every instance.— The Holthouse Drug Co. can supply

WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and tq try the remedy that has helped your neighbors. Ask your neighborl Mrs. John Durbin, 127 S. 9th St, Decatur, says: "My kidneys were out of order and I had sharp pains through my back and I was almost helpless. I couldn't sleep nights and was miserable all day. Headaches almost drove me frantic and I be came nervous and irritable. My feet swelled and I felt bloated all over. My kidneys caused a great deal of annoyance and were irregular in action. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Smith, Yager & Falk's Drug Store and they helped me right along until I was free from backache and ihat heavy bloated feeding. My kidbeys were regulated and I, felt fine." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Durbin had. Foster-Milburn Co..

Hl The Dining Room

A WARM, rich, substantial appearance should prevail in the dining room. Nothing will give this effect quite so well as a deep toned tapestry paper used in panels with a plain paper for a background, or, if desired, the tapestry may be used done. Where the furnishings of a room are simple, a tapestry will help to enrich the room. If, on the contrary, your furnishings arc already elaborate, a plain, or semi-plain paper will keep the balance of things.
