6 FIRMS OFFER BIDS ON NEW FIRE WAGONS
Board of Safety Not to Announce Figures Until All Have Been Tabulated.
Six firms, one of them local, submitted bids to the board of public safety at a special meeting yfesterday afternoon in the council chamber for $25,000 worth of motor fire apparatus, the appropriation for which was made by the council some time ago. According to the board the companies bid on all sorts of combinations and it will be some time before the board can get any intelligible idea of just who has the lowest and best bid. When the bids were advertised a provision was made that any reliable company might bid on combinations of four combination hose and chemical wagons and the aerial truck or might bid on all at once. This provision was taken advantage of by the bidders.
Contrary to the custom of the board of safety the meeting was public. Fire Chief Bledsoe and Michael Deasee, a member of the public safety and comfort committee, were present with the board. All the companies which bid were represented by salesmen and ea,ch representative was allowed IB minutes to explain his particular bid.
The board announced after all had been heard that the bids would be tabulated and the board would meet later and award the contract.
The board also deferred until a later date the claim of Joseph Jeffers, who is asking that he be paid $367.60 for back pay he alleges is due him as a member of the police force.
The firms which bid on the Are apparatus were the Seagrave company, Toledo, O. Robinson Fire Apparatus Manufacturing company, St. Louis, Mo. White Motor Truck company, Cleveland, O. American LaFrantie company, Elmira, N. Y- O'Brien and O'Connell, Terre Haute Boyd and company, Philadelphia, Pa., and the Ahren-Fox company, of Cincinnati, O.

A DETERMINED WOMAN
Finally Found a Food That Helped Her.
"When I flrfit read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says a Mo. woman. "At that time there was none keiit in this town, but my husband ordered some from a commercial traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use Grape-Nuts the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells it to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommended Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food." "There's a Reason."

FAIL I
MAKES DEBUT TODAY
All Indications Are That First "DressUp" Day Will Bring Out Gallant Display.
Dress up, boys! That is the Dress-Up Week slogan, adopted nationally, and today Terre Haute will get a chance to see how heartily Terre Haute's men have cooperated In the movement which has been declared nationally a success. Mr. Cade, our sometimes congenial weather man, has promised a beautiful day for the "Easter day parade" of the fall, thus assuring the men that their new suits, cravats, shoes and other wearing apparel will not be harshly treated by atmospheric conditions.
Terre Haute's clothiers and haberdashers report that their sales for the last week or two have been sufficient to assure them the nation-wide movement was gaining some Impetus from this city. The primitive idea In "dress-up day" (which is today) lsf Wot so much to have the men appear as bon ton society "dudes," but rather to have all men appear neat and trim, prepared for the season's conditions and thus bo able to keep up with the women, who, for the most part, buy their fall clothing before the men.
Last Sunday the city showed some of the effects of the campaign, even though the day was not especially a dress-up day, and today's parade, it I® expected, will, surpass that of last week.

"DRYS" IN DEMONSTRATION.
Participate on Eve of Clamping on of Sunday Lid In Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—The second largest city In the United States, on the eve of being dry tomorrow for the first time in 44 years, was given a hint this afternoon of the power behind the movement to make Chicago dry at the 191G elections'. Thirty thousand persons today participated in onfe of the most remarkable reform demonstrations ever beheld in this country. Nearly a quarter of a million persons for more than three hours this afternoon stood densely packed along the six miles of the line of march.
It was a uniquely cosmopolitan personnel that comprised the parade. There were Jews and gentiles, and members of every other denomination, on foot and on the floats. There were rabbis and ministers and churchmen and laymen: there were countless pretty girls. And in the center of the line were two floats above which floated the respective inscriptions on banners: "The finished product" and "Booze made us."
Under the first banner sat a dozen "floaters," personally selected from a dozen of Chicago's 7,152 saloons by H. L. Ashenhurst, of the Chicago Dry federation. Under the other banner sat a score of unkempt, wan-faced children, some with their mothers, whose fathers and husbands admittedly have lost the fight with John Barleycorn.
CLUB TO CHANGE NAME.
The Junior council of the Temple Israel will meet in the temple this afternoon to consider suggestions for a new name for the club. It is the aim of those back of the club to change it from a literary to a soc^ club.
HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
When friends of Charles Rollings. 1548 Eighth avenue, gathered at his home Friday evening to celeorate his birthday, there was a surprise awaiting Councilman Hugh Brannin, who was one of the guests. Seated around the table were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Culberson and daughter, Elizabeth, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Luther. Arthur Horn, Bert Stark and Everett Walker. When oyster soup was served Brannin was served with an extra large bowl with the explanation that it was for the councilman. "Well," said Hugh, "I see Culberson over there has an ordinary size dish, but believe me, if the Philadelphia team could get the runs across the plate as fast as Culberson can. there wouldn't be the necessity of the world's series."

close of the trial by the defense was a surprise as it was the understanding that a large number of character witnesses would be introduced.
But it was being said today that the defense did not think that oharacter witnesses were necessary. The defendants' attorneys evidently were willing to have Mayor Bell's testimony stand alone against that of the jail birds, former convicts and alleged perjurers who told corvfictlng stories about his connection with the case.
The Missing Link.
It Is the contention of the friends of the mayor that the state has railed to make good its charge that a conspiracy existed. There was witness after witness to testify that there was corrupt practice at the primaries and the general election but somehow the impression prevails that there was nothing definite to prove that a conspiracy had been formed by Mayor Bell and others and that where the election laws were violated the violation was under the orders of the mayor himseir.
The conditions revealed by the testimony were not unlike those that have existed here in former elections and primaries when the republicans -were in power. The story of alleged corruption may have sounded pretty bad to people not familiar with Indianapolis politics but to those who have watched the drift here for many years it wasn't news at all. The close friends of the defendant seem to feel that the jury will render a verdict of acquittal. As far as the political effect of the trial is concerned the democratic leaders say that it hasn't hurt their party at all. Rather it has had a tendency to solidify the workers.
Watson and Goodrich.
Many well Informed republican leaders say that undoubtedly there will be a conflict of Interests between the Goodrich and Watson followers and no doubt It will cause the party serious annoyance right at the time when they are trying to make a solid organlza tion.
Goodrich Is getting away In the lead for governor! Most of the political dopesters figure thut Wiatson Is far in advance of the senatorial field yet there are many politicians who claim that Hugh Th. Miller, of Columbus, will give Watson a good run for his money.
Some of the papers in the northern part of the etate are taking straw votes and they show Miller running ahead of Watson by a' small margin. That Miller should have a lead over Watson in any county is a pretty hard blow to Watson's boomers, Who have figured that he would make a runaway race right from the Jump.
Bookwalter May Come.
It was stated,today on pretty good authority that former Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter, of Indianapolis, Is about to enter the race for the republican nomination for senator. In fact Bookwalter Informed your correspondent that he has practically decided to make the race. He will be out of Indianapolis for ten days on a tour over the Dixie highway. He will make his announcement on his return.
He Informed a number of his close friends this week that he Is going to become a candidate for the senate.

me much good. I decided to see my old home in Germany again, after an absence of forty years, and bought a bottle of Peruna to take while on my way. Whenever I would have symptons of catarrh I would take Peruna and so was very well while going over. I would advise every one who crosses the ocean to take Peruna along. I was in Germany nine months, and during that time had no attacks. I was then sixty-six years old. Last winter I took cold and got catarrh of the Head. 1 took Peruna and was helped. Everybody who is troubled with catarrh should take Peruna."
Another letter: "I followed your good advice and took one bottle of Peruna. It helped me. then I bought another one and used only a ,part of it. I am rid of the catarrh and thank you very much for your good advice. I will always keep Peruna in the house and if I hear of any one suffering from catarrh I certainly will recommend your medicine."
Those who object to liquid medicines can now procure Peruna Tablets.
Bookwalter is a positive factor. Like Watson he Is a fine campaigner, but unlike Watson he has had no factional alliances that are liable to hurt him. He has' not done anything to offend the progressives. He is liable to be more popular with the liberal minded voters than Watson.
In fact it wouldn't be surprising if the candidacy of Bookwalter should cause the senatorial race to take on an entirely different aspect. He Is liable to cut Into Watson heavily. Watson Is, going to be stronger in the larger, cities than Miller but th® latter bids fair to be as strong or stronger than Watson in many of the towns and in the rural communities.
If Watson and Bookwalter divide up the vote in the cities and Miller runs as strong as he promises to In the country then look out for Miller. It is a serious mistake to count him out of the race. He has many friends from one end of Indiana to the other and he is going to be a decided factor.
If Bookwalter carries out his present plans the race will be between him, Watson and Miller, If Bookwalter does not run the race will be between Watson and Miller and the odda in favor of Watson. But it must be conceeded that wherever votes are taken from Watson the chances of Miller are Increased just that much.
Watson's friends are liable to do whatever they can to discourage the candidacy of Bookwalter. They have tried to get him to run for governor against Goodrich, but he resisted their efforts and he will run for the senate or nothing.
