DEMOCRATS MEET TO REVIEW ISSUES Absence of Precinct Workers Prevent Members from Taking Decisive Action.

About fifty Democrats assembled last night in the Commercial club rooms and surveyed the Wayne county

political situation. Because of the absence of delegates, precinct committeemen and precinct chairmen from outlying districts, Jack W. Harper, county chairman, of Cambridge City, refused to hear any motions and no business was concluded. The next meeting of the organization will be held March 3, when delegates to the state convention, March 19, will be chosen. The call was issued today for a meeting with Chairman Harper and Dr. J. J. Grosvenor, secretary of the Democrats of the county. No Booms Launched. There was no talk of any candidates Or possible candidates for office at the Democratic nominating convention for county election in November. Richard -M. Milburn, candidate for attorney general of Indiana on the Democratic ticket, gave a short talk. Wayne townsnip Democrats will elect fourteen delegates and a like number of alternates to the state convention. Other townships will have the following number of delegates: Abington and Boston, one; Center, 1; Dalton, Greene and Perry, one; Harrison and Jefferson, two; Jackson and "Washington, live.

SUCCESS ATTENDS CHURCH SUPPER

CAMBRIDGE, CITY, Feb. 17 The supper given Friday evening in the Methodist church, by the ladies of the four sections of the Social Union was well patronized. The government thermometer at this point registered eleven degrees below zero, at five o'clock Sunday morning. J. W. Moore was awarded a number of prizes at 'the Rose City Poultry Association show, held at New Castle a few days since. The fowls are of the Black Ians'han variety, and Mr. Moore secured on cock, first and second; cockerel, first; hen, first; pullet, first; pen, first. The awards were

both silver cups and money prizes. Mr. Moore secured prizes of the same nature at Eaton, Ohio, week before last. The Valentine dancing party given Friday evening by the K. of P. entertainment committee attracted a crowd of forty couples, including a number of guests from out. of town. The Misses Mabel Ball, Leslie and Mary Diffenderfer entertained at a merry valentine party Friday evening at the home of of Miss Ball. The decorations of the rooms were in red hearts. Fortune telling and lively games furnished amusement, and comic valentines were given as favors. In the dainty lunch of sandwiches, salads and cocoa, the valentine idea was also shown. One of the happy valentine parties was that given Saturday afternoon by

Miss Louise Williams at the home of i

her aunt, Mrs. William Petro. Music and merry games, in one of the latter, the placing of a head on a comic valentine, caused a gale of mirth. The rooms were gay with their decorations in keeping with St. Valentine's Day, and the refreshments of cream and cake were in heart shape. Mrs. H. B. Miller entertained the members of the Round Table needlework club and a few friends Friday afternoon, in a very pleasant manner at her home on North Front street. The cheery lights and fire and lively conversation was a striking contrast to the storm without. The time quickly passes with needlework and music, and at the close, a delicious luncheon was served.

Increases in assessed valuation of property, especially real estate, will be ordered in many counties of the state after the 1914 assessments have been taken, it was predicted by state tax commission members today at the Sixth district meeting of assessors held in the court house. There were about seventy-five assessors, including township and county assessors and their deputies from the counties comprising the Sixth district. They were addressed by the three members of the state tax commission, Houck Wolcott and Link. Mr. Link covered the ground completely and said that the promise of the tax commissioners to equalize assessments in all counties of the state, would be carried out. Many counties, especially some of the wealthier ones, escape paying their share of the state tax which is of uniform rate in all counties, by lowering the valuations when assessments are made. The local tax rates are increased to make up the difference. Wayne county, which has shown an increase for the last ten years of 14.7 per cent in valuations, has not increased assessments as rapidly as many other counties, although even now it ranks well in percentage. The

county assesses property at per cents ranging from 25 to 75 per cent of the real value. Mr. Link said that assessors had been ordered last year to assess all real estate and personal property at its actual value and deduct twenty-

ders and their bids were not specified in the committee's report, and finally Mr. Eversman had to be called upon to give this information. Mayor Robbins Informed Mr. O'Neal that the city could not go out and bargain for a car as an individual could; that it had to advertise for bids, and that inasmuch as only four bids bad been received these had to be considered or rejected.

Springs Economy Phase. Councilman Williams said he realized the city had to practice economy this year and that he would be opposed to paying out $1,000 for a police automobile unless the need for it was imperative. He favored the appropriation even if the city probably would have to spend $1,500 for a local option election, which was not provided for in this year's budget. This

reference to the "wet" and "dry" question was received in silence. The bids received by the police board are listed by Mr. Eversman as follows: Wayne Work, $900, four passengers; Davis, $1,000, five passengers; Westcott, $1,000, five passengers; Regal (bid submitted by local agent), $977, Mve passengers. All bids conformed with the specifications, including electric lights and self-starter, except the Regal car, which does not have the required wheel base. Councilman Williams and Mr. Eversboth explained that the cars offered by

the local manufacturing concerns had been used for demonstrating purposes only, and were practically new cars, and that the prices quoted for them were reasonable. Urge Local Make. The majority of councilmen were of the opinion that only Richmondmade machines should be considered, and Mr. Williams and Mr. Eversman emphasized the necessity of securing an automobile as soon as possible. The old patrol wagon, they said, is dangerously near a collapse and, besides, the police need a machine to make quick responses to emergency calls. The patrol horse could be sold at a good price, they said, and the amount derived from his sale applied to the

purchase of a machine. They also informed council that when calls were made for the city ambulance a horse could be rented from a nearby livery barn at a rate cheaper than the city could keep a horse. The there locai companies which entered bids on a machine agreed to a ninety days' payment arrangement, so that the city would not have to pay for the car until the spring taxes were in. The Davis company guar-

THREAT TO "EXPOSE" Woman Telephones "Warning" to Police Officials. .

A telephone threat to "expose" some men alleged to have been connected with the former city administration, in connection woth the case of Mr. and Mrs. Land is, fined today for keeping a disorderly house on North Ninth street, was made by a woman this afternoon. She refused to give her name. "Some men in the last city administration are implicated in that case." the unknown woman said, "but I don't know whether any of the present city officers are." Beyond informing the newspaper men of the anonymous telephone message the authorities took no further notice of the charges preferred by the woman.

GABRIEL'S SLUMBERS RUDELY INTERRUPTED This afternoon a Norwegian, giving his name as Gabriel, was . -arrected while peacefully sleeping in a rocking chair on the veranda of a residence at 207 South Twelfth street. He was aroused from sound slumbers by a patrol wagon and two husky policemen, summoned to the scene by the woman of the house who telephoned to headquarters three times in five minutes for police protection.

What You Sweated Out Last Summer Through 5,000,000 Pores of the Skin, Must Be Strained Off by the Liver This Winter.

Is it any wonder the Bile dams up in the Liver? Is it any wonder that you have blood waves? That your tongue is coated, that you are dizzy, bloated, achey and utterly stupid? Without Bile to purify the food in intestines your blood food is contaminated with the putrifying mass. The whole mucous lining becomes coated. PODOLAX RELEASES THE BILE.

Nature soom catches up if you will release the Bile. The Bile disinfects and purifies the blood. Since the days of Jacob, Mandrake (the Biblical name of May-apple) has been used. Your ancestors used May-Apple-Root Tea; your father used Podophyllin (the medical name for May -Apple Root. . (Those days it was a bitter dose, and griped, but it released the Bile. Nowadays it is just as effective in releasing the Bile and in PoDoLax the bitterness and griping have been eliminated. A spoonful every night for three or four days will release the Bile, and after occasional use for a month the results will show by an increase in weight. The children like it. You can reason you know that a free Bile flow means a healthy, vigorous body. We guarantee that PoDoLax will release the Bile, so you are justiied in spending 50 cents for a bottle. No lost time, no ill effects .whatever.
