F1NFR0CK PROTESTS CITY APPOINTMENTS Pennsy Conductor Lauds Chief Gormon and Superintendent Johnson.
J. W. Finfrock, a well-known railroad man of this city, has sent to the Palladium the following letter, protecting against the removal of I. A. Gormon as chief of police, and N. H. Johnson, as superintendent of the mualclpal light plant: Dear Sir As a Democrat I wish to nter my protest against the removal of Chief of Police Gormon. After a residence in Richmond for more than tWrty-fivw years, I am of the opinion the police department of the city is of the highest type when we take in consideration the small number of patrolmen to population of the city. Having been a conductor on the Pennsylvania lines for a number of years I have had many opportunities of hearing the opinions of outsiders, and the efficiency of our department compared with that' of even larger cities has often been commented upon. One government detective said that in looking up calls lie frequently visited Richmond, and dropped in at all of the places where violators of law were apt to congregate, but in no :a8e did he llnd any place harboring such men. He said that that fact
alone would indicate that our chief!
knew his business and kept his eyes open. Mr. Johnson also has shown himself to be a very capable man, and a change at this time to a superintendent of less experience would be a money loss to every taxpayer in the city. It is only human nature that the mayor-elect should wish to help those who have been his staunch friends, but I fear he will make a great' mistake if he insists upon making these changes. It is to be hoped ho will find other ways open to do Justice to those to whom he feels under obligations. Yours truly, J. W. FINFROCK.

WHY WORRY POSTAL CLERKS jUEGLECT? Send Y'our Christmas Packages Now -JBe a Good Fellow.
A divorce has just been granted in London to Mrs. Ida M. French, daughter of Robert J. Waynne, of Washington, former American consul general in London and ex-postmaster general, on the grounds of infidelity nd cruelty on the part of her husband, Captain Hugh Ronald French, now of the Fourth Battalion of the Yorkshire regiment. The name of Marie Celeste Beach, a Canadian chorus girl, was mentioned as co-respondent. TENER LEAGUE HEAD Succeeds Thomas J. Lynch As President of Nationals.
Rush of Christmas packages is expected to begin the Sunday before Christmas, Lawrence Handley, superintendent of carriers said today. The postofflce has six men ready to start work at a moment's notice to follow out instructions from the postmaster general to get all Christmas packages to their destination as rapidly as possible. An unusually large number of parcels were handled this morning. "Despite anything we may say or do to get the people to send their mail early, they will not heed the advice," said Mr. Handley. "They will figure out that it takes a day or two days to get a letter to a certain place under ordinary conditions, and they will put off mailing their Christmas packages until a day or two before Christmas in hopes that it will be delivered on the Christmas morndelivery. Many will be disappointed, however, because there is sure to be some congestion at some of the transfere stations somewhere along the line." Mr. Handley said the order against mailing tinsel post cards is being disobeyed. The I'ostal clerks have orders to throw away any tinsel cards which are not in envelops. He suggested that -in case where mail is sent to children and the street address is not known, the parents name should be put on the, package or letter. However, exact addresses should be secured, if possible, as there will be many inexperienced persons handling mail during the holiday rush who are not acquainted with the people the regular men know.

now on until he becomes superintendent," said Johnson, "but I cannot undertake to give him a technical education in fifteen minutes."
Robbing Plans Meetings. Mayor-elect Robbies says that frequent meetings will be held between himself and his department chiefs between now and the first of the year and ways and means for conducting city affairs will be discussed. He said he was seriously considering the plan to have one of the members of the board of public works act as the purchasing agent for all city departments, believing a great saving could be effected in that way. The report that the members of the new board of public works and the police board would" refuse to comply with Air. Robbins' recommendations for appointments as light plant superintendent and chief of police, was without foundation, it was learned today. Any other appointments to these offices by the two boards would undoubtedly result in the mayor's removal of the offending board members. Ed. Hollarn, retiring park superintendent, said he had written to his successor, Charles Ford, asking him to call on him at Glen Miller park at any time so that he can become acquainted with bis work, including instruction on the correct diet for the large and prosperous bear family, seperation from whom Hollarn will find difficult.
PLAY COMMITTEE SELECTS "MATER'
The Play Committee of the Day Dodgers organization reported at a meeting Tuesday noon that they had selected a play called "Mater," but on account of the royalty of fifty dollars, they wished to consult the Day Dodeers before taking any further steps.
The Day Dodgers have 'he reputation of presenting a very creditable ! play each year, and it is because of a desire to keep this reputation that the
even if the royalty were demanded.
The play committee also announced that the selection of the cast would be made soon, and all contestants for
mittee.

Goldsboro, N. C, "A physician treated me for many distressing symptoms," writes Mrs. Etta A. Smith, "but gave me no relief. "I suffered with neuralgia around the heart and was troubled at times with m head. I had pain in my left side, bowels, left thigh, shoulders and arms. "After taking Cardui, I am now well and can recommend it to other suffering women." Just such doubtful symptoms, as those from which Mrs. Smith suffered are the ones for which it will pay you to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. It is at such times, when there is nothing to show, for certain, the real cause of !he trouble, that you need a tonic, to give the body strength to throw off the illness that evidently threatens. Take Cardui, when you are ill, with the ailments of your sex. Take Cardui as a tonic, to prevent illness, when you feel it coming. Your druggist keeps it. N. B Write to-' La lifs- Advisory Twt.

In the American league, Boston retained a perfect percentage by defeating Indianapolis yesterday, 24 to 12. VoglesonK and Miller did the best work for Boston while Hafner starred for the Athletics.-
rocked in the cradle of a liberty new; conceived, and inscribed upon its banners the glorious roll of innumerably battles won on many fields in t rename of loyalty, patriotism and national honor. It fought the good tight In 'times that try men's souls.' It was no 'summer soldier,' no sunshine patriot.' 'The noblest word in any language Is 'loyalty' loyalty to h spoken word, loyalty to a trusting friend, loyalty to a principle espoused, loyalty to the result of any contest participated in with friends and co-workers. "The betrayal of a friend, or of any cause upon whose roll of honor one's name appears, is always and everywhere regarded by honorable men p.s infamous, and a political party that can offer nothing but a spectacle of such infamy can not long endure among a free people. Hoists New Banner. "Amid the stress of modern political vagaries and social and economic fads the Republican party holds aloft the
banner of reason and common sense. ! It advocates the American ideal of I simple representative government as ; plainly set forth in the constitution. It supports the constitutional co-or- j tlinate branches of government, legis-' lative, executive and judicial. Thus it combats the doctrines of recall of judicial decisions, strangulation of the United States supreme court, abolition of the United States senate and the nullification of the president's veto subversive doctrines taken from the national Socialist platform of 190S by the Progressive party. It advocates the simplest form of representative government instead of a government by 'experts' and 'bureaucrats,' who ' would fool the people by the tangled and devious ways of circumlocution and misrepresentation. "The Ideal set forth in the beautiful story of Damon and Pythias should be the dream and vision of every
young American. The Progressive party utterly lacks this ideal, and it must, by a universal moral law, ultimately go down to defeat. "EDGAR ILIFF, Chairman."

BURNEB TERRIBLY Face All Covered With Eruption. Unable to Get Rest. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. 383 No. Union St., Aurora. 111. "My ailment started with a littlo pimple and It always itched and burned terribly. I
scratched it and in a few days my face was all covered with sores. It ran up to my eyes and the day after I could not see out of my right eye. I was unable to get any rest. I couldn't go to bed, being afraid of getting the clothing all soiled, although I had my face all bandaged.
" I was given two jars of salvo but It kept Belting worse. It was something like a running sore because every time I used some of the salve I had to wrap bandages around my neck to koep tho water and pus from running down my body. After I htd the trouble two months my mother told me I should try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I wrote for a sample and in a few days I received these and washed my face with the Cuticura Soap and put oa some Cuticura Ointment and the next morning my face felt cool and somewhat relieved. After using the sample I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drug store. I followed this treatment just twenty-six dayi and after using one cako of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment I tras cured," Signed) George Miller, Jaa. 1, 1913.
