CITY BUYING ON i YEARLY SCALE i IS ADVOCATED Purchasing Agent Believes $ Great Saving Would f Be Effected. Purchase of city supplies in yearly quantities was proposed to departments heads tocfay by City Purchasing Agent Joel A. Baker. Departments are working on their 1929 budget request and Baker offered to cooperate in studying needs for the coming year. “We can save the city large sums of money buying supplies in larger quantities. There is no reason why we can not buy pencils to last all city departments for one year. The contract can specify that goods be delivered as needed, thereby getting Ihe benefit of the cheaper price for a large quantity,” Baker said. “The same principle applies to almost everything which the city purchases. No large business concern would order a dozen pencils for an office and there is no reason the city’s business should not be on the basis of economy,” Baker said. Since he was appointed to the post by Mayor L. Ert Slack last November, Baker has attempted to place city buying on a strictly competitive basis. “Our biggest problem in this department has been to overcome the impression that the city does not buy goods on a business basis. Many companies felt there was no use to submit a bid because politicians were pulling wires for a certain concern which would receive the award regardless. “Many reliable firms seem to hold the belief that the same business ethics do not apply when the city is buying the public should be 'gypped’ a little.” Baker said that Mayor Slack had maintained a “hands off” policy in the purchasing department, not attempting to swing certain deals to friendly concerns.

DOLE BILBY MADE A BIG GRAND MISTAKE This Weird Girl Mistook a Mortal Man for a Demon and There Were Strange Goings On Until the Law Stepped in and Stopped ’Em. 1 By WALTER D. HICKMAN IT SEEMS that one girl in fiction has been discovered who preferred a demon to a mortal lover. Her name is Doll Bilby and she was supposed to have existed around 1663 and for seme years, as stated by Esther Forbes in “A Mirror for Witches,” published by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Most girls, according to tradition, prefer a caveman or rather that is the majority opinion. The trouble with poor Doll Bilby was that she mistook a mortal for a demon and then there was the devil to pay. When you meet Doll, who decided that she was a witch, I believe you will agree with me that she is one of the strangest characters in modern fiction. Esther Forbes first got into the public eye by turning out a book by the name of “O Genteel Lady” and it was a book that made one wait gladly for another one by the same author. “A Mirror for Witches” has the background of old Salem in the days that witches were tried by court and jury and sentenced to death. It seems to me that Miss Forbes comes nearer to having the genuine Hawthorne touch than any of the modern writers. Her style is clear, even beautiful. Her character is queer and the natural background of her yarn is even wilder. For a story that possess no realism, I feel that you will even on reading the first three pages fall under the magnetic spell of the author who dares to do the unusual. The fact is, I never at any time had any sympathy for the Doll and how she kidded herself in believing that it was a demon prince in her bedroom instead of a mortal man. But the story is so fantastic and so full of implied satire that its very smartness will give you several thrills. The Doll worked herseif up- to such a mental state that she even saw the glory of a black bull in a pasture. Even that isn’t wild goings on, then I do not know my fairy stories. > Miss Forbes has this to say at the close of her strange yarn of the even stranger Doll —“There are court records, affldivits, etc.; there are diaries, letters and such; there is the memory of old gaffers and goodies to prove that once Doll Bilby flourished. But of the physical, inanimate objects nothing that was associated with her evil life and awful end now exists. The house she lived in mysteriously rotted and fell into the cellar hole. The grave they dug for her is now lost under a

Here is an odd book and if you are a modernist, not afraid of delicate and strange mental food, then you must hurry over and get a copy of "A Mirror for Witches.”

Study Spines By Science Serrice MINNEAPOLIS. June 13. Backbones that are considered normal and perfect by their possessors and the examining physicians may show interesting abnormalities when subjected to the searching eye of the X-rays. In more than half of nearly a thousand spines of railroad men investigated by Drs. B. C. Cushway and R. J. Maier of Chicago, and reported to the American Medical Association here today, there were anomalies and abnormalities. Vertebrae are particularly variable, every little vertebrae tending to have a shape all its own. The willingness of industrial employes to blame any spine trouble to injuries, sometimes imagined, incurred in their work has caused railway and other surgeons to study backbone carefully.

MR. GUS KING nois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis. The report referred to was issued by Mr. Gus King, living at 6014 Division St., this city, and he also offered his photograph for publication. Mr. King is employed at the Martin-Perry Corporation and enjoys a large circle of friends. “I want others to know how Konjola has helped me,” said Mr. King, “because a medicine that will restore new health to a system that was as badly rundown as mine deserves public praise. lam certainly thankful to the makers of this remedy and will recommend it every chance I get. “What Konjola did for me was really remarkable. I was severely troubled with asthma and bothered with a wheezing cough that would last for weeks at a time. At times it felt as though someone was pressing hard against my chest and this pressure against my heart made it almost impossible for me to breathe. Sometimes this condition made me so weak I could hardly walk. I w'as also very nervous. Many times I would just walk away from people because I could not stand to have them near me. I wanted to be alone. My whole system was growing weaker all the time, but I Could never find the medicine to end my suffering and build me up. “One day while I was talking to a friend of mine, he recommended that I give Konjola a trial. At first I didn’t have much confidence in it. but after the first week I was really surprised. I coum notice a change in my condition and within another week's time there was anew feeling of health over my entire system. That congested feeling in my chest has disappeared and I am no longer troubled with shortness of breath. It stopped that cough and strengthened my nerves considerably, so that I never lie awake at night any more and noises and crowds do not bother me like they used to, Konjola is worth a SI,OOO to any one who suffers like I did. It has made me feel like a different man. I strongly recommend it to any one in poor health.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts.. Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola Is sold In every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this vicinity.—Advertisement.
