BY JOHN MELPOLDER. ' What arc we doing to prepare cur boys for intelligent and practical cltitenshlp? The schools in the higher grades give some attention chiefly to the theoretic Bide of how we are governed, but considering that a large percentage of our boys never reach these higher grades, there seems to be a great need and a neglected opportunity to train our future electors in the responsibilities and duties of American citizenship. Tlila training is made possible through the organization of what may be called a junior municipality. The junior municipality ia an organization of boys patterned in ev.-ry practicable respect after the organization of our municipal kovcr:irr.3r.t It har? its corresponding municipal officials and department!1 mayor r.nd oity Juds'e. city clerk, el'v controlla:1, street Commissioner, building ini'psctor, inGprctci1 cf feeds and scaler cf weights ar-l measures, superintendent of p.-'.rlis, superintendent of crematory,

I was just a wonderin whether city and county officials, men elected by the people and entrusted with the management of affairs in the Interest of ALL the people, are supposed to be as wise as the common herd of our citizenry. The more I wonder the more I am persuaded that they are wiser, or are supposed to be. Then I was a wonderin' whether such officials are supposed to use their wisdom and skill in doing things in the Interest of the greater number of persons concerned, or in the interest of a small section. Then I was a wonderin whether it were wise and prudent, kind and statesman-like, to discommode and harass the mass of our local travelers and a large number of strangers another year to accommodate a few by delaying to build Main Street bridge. Some facts are worthy of consideration: To build South G street bridge where there is no public highway and so remote from the National Road would afford little relief to the traveling public while building Main street bridge. Doran bridge is unsafe for the strain of excessive traffic thrown to it. The temporary bridge is liable to be drifted away by a flood at any time, and the west approach and turn around the Gibraltar corner is dangerous. Main street is part of a state and national thoroughfare and many cross-country travelers are annoyed daily because this bridge is out of commission, besides, very" many more of our own citizens would be favored by re-building Main street bridge at once. Bonds must be sold to build it. Doubtless, they will sell now as readily as a year hence. A small amount may be saved by using the same forms in both bridges, but the large number of people inconvenienced by the delay in building are compelled to suffer; would not not be wiser to distribute the suffering among all the people and build at once? If to build one bridge at a time would be a great saving, would not wisdom dictate the propriety of building first the one which would serve the greater number and which would conveniently and effectively relieve the strain of traffic while the other is building? Do not our officials know what kind of a bridge to build? When will they know? They have already had many months to consider. Why not meet and determine this question finally and build at once? If a reasonable compromise is sought, find it by ordering a bridge about two hundred feet long built level with the west end of the present structure, then slope eastward to the present grade under the C. & O. R. R. bridge; but give us the bridge NOW. Yours with malice toward none, and justice for all. NABOPOLASSAR.

municipal elections but shuns adult party Unei, putting its chief emphasis u:on the qualifications of candidates a,:-d unon the practical municipal issues cf the day. ' The "results are that boys acquire a comprehensive knowledge of end learn to take a practical interest in municipal affairs, that they learn bow to prepare and cast a ballot, that they learn how to govern themselves and others, that they learn to respect authority and to assert authority in the Democratic spirit, and that even as boys they can have an active part in the enforcement as well as in the observance of municipal laws and ordinances and help to keep the town orderly, clean. and attractive the yar around. Definite steps have been taken to organize such a junior municipality in Richmond. Mayor Robbins and Superintendent of Schools Giles and school principals and teachers have entered heartily into the spirit of this boys' movement and have assured their cooperation. The mayor has granted the use of the council chambers for the sessions of the junior municipality council, and the junior councilmen will sit at the desks of the senior councilmen representing their respective wards. Richmond citizens, both penior and junior, will bo expected to attend these council sessions presenting petitions and remonstrances and taking part in the discussion. The mayor will select an advisory board of adult citizens, while a supreme court may be appointed to pass upon the constitutionality of the ordinances passed by the junior council. It is anticipated that woman's suffrage will be one of the live issues demanding the early attention of the junior municipal authorities.

A Ward Citizens1 organization or Taxpayers' association will be organized in each school. For the first ward citizens in Finley and St. John's schools; for the second ward citizens

DOCTORS USING AiMOLOX WITH GREAT SUCCESS This remarkable letter, coming from n prominent physician engaged in active practice for over 23 years, proves the merit of this wonderful new Rem: ody. I have used Amolox in four different cases with excellent results. All showed marked improvement from the start. Two apparently are cured, the skin being free from scales and redness, and perfectly normal. I consider Amolox a Remedy of rare merit. I know of nothing in the modern text-books that equals it in therapeutic value. H. R. Hills, M. D., Youngstown. O. Pimples on the face. Blackheads. Acne and all minor skin troubles yield quickly to the use of the Amolox Ointment. Sufferers of Eczema. Psoriasis. Tetter. Salt Rheum, and bad chronic cases of skin diseases lasting for years ehould use both the Ointment and Solution to effect a cure. Trial size, 60c. Guaranteed and recommended ay A. G. Luken. Adv.

"Life was hardly worth the living for twelve years but I feel better all over now, since taking Tanlac." she added. "Kidney trouble was my most severe ailment during those twelve years. My back ached almost constantly, making life miserable. Sometimes I couldn't sleep at night, the pains in my back were so severe. "I have taken two bottles of Tanlac now and have just started on the third-. Already my weight has increased six pounds and my back has stopped aching. I really feel better all over. As It brought me the first peace in life I've enjoyed for twelve years I naturally want to recommend Tanlac."

CHICAGO TROOPERS WED BEFORE LEAVING

CHICAGO, June 22. Mr. Kipling's rather sage advice to the young British soldier has struck no responsive chord in the khaki covered hearts of Chicago troopers. The answer to Mr. Kipling's "for love won't help if your rations are cold" can be found in the records of the license bureau. There were twelve marriages of soldiers last night just before the first of the Chicago troops departed for Springfield, and more are expected today when the others move out. Among today's will be that of Dick Dunne, son of the governor of Illinois and Miss Frances Fitzgerald. Governor Dunne arranged a special furlough of a day for his son, who is sergeant of Batter D, I.

The good housewife often wonders why her fruit preserves, so carefully put up. fail to keep. The reason is that the jars when washed are not sterilized and the bacteria that adhered to tha glass multiplied and caused mould and spoiling. This can be easily overcome by using a small quantity of Zonlte in. the water when cleaning jars, as its germicidal power is so great that all germ life and bacteria are completely destroyed. There are 100 vital uses ia every home for Zonlte, fully explained In Illustrated booklet with each bottle. Zonite Tha Nen-PelBoaous Antiseptic, Germicide Disinfectant, and Deodorant.
