diana city, weary of the mismanagement of its ; r
affairs by a set of politicians, and bent on placing its destiny in the hands of capable managers, can do so under the law. If relief is to be had, public opinion the state over must be aroused. Citizens acting as individuals and collectively through the many existing agencies of organization should bombard the two parties and their standard bearers in Indiana with petitions and demands for remedial legislation.

Home Rule for City
It is an accepted maxim that the type of government of a community reflects the type of
citizenship responsible for it. An efficient city government, functioning smoothly,- inexpensively and with precision, presupposes a community of men and women who elect their officers for their ability and not for their political affiliation. Usually a bungling, expensive and inefficient administration of a city's affairs can be traced to a citizenship that cares more for the political success of the party in power than it does for the intrinsic ability of the nominees to perform the duties for which they are elected to office. When men of this kind fall down in their work, unable to grapple successfully with the in
tricate problems of city management, the men who elected them to office often are the first to xmplain and condemn, forgetful that they themselves and not the office-holders are to blame or the debacle. So long as cities are willing to entrust the administration of their affairs to mere novices in city management they must be satisfied with the consequences. In Indiana, sad to say, cities are forced to elect politicians to office. Under the law, the municipalities are unable to oust inefficient politicians and supplant them with men who have made the government -of cities their profession, their life's work, and are admirably fitted both by training and experience . lor their task. An act of the legislature will be required to change this condition, to give cities home rule, the right of determining for themselves what form of government they desire. Today no In-
A managerial or commission form of government at its worst would be infinitely better than our present system. What does the average politician know about the complex problems of revenue sources, of their adequate use, of the best methods of raising them? What does he know of expenditures, of the
methods to-be used in the business transactions
of the city departments, of the preparation of specifications for the purchases of supplies, of the infinite ramifications attending the preparation and enforcement of contracts? What does he know about the factors enter
ing into appropriations or into the annual budget? What does he know about the sound financial considerations that enter into the floating of bond issues so that the city's rights are conserved and its interests best served? What does he know about the construction and maintenance of streets, alleys, sewers, about the equitable distribution of assessments, about , the materials used in streets to meet traffic de
mands? And so on through the whole category of city administration police, fire, health, parks, taxes, education, utilities, markets, etc. Any one of these topics would challenge the
attention of an expert, and yet we are willing to
let politicians, possessed of neither expert nor
practical knowledge, decide for us when thousands of dollars are at stake. In our private affairs we call in experts and accomplished workmen to do our work, but in public affairs "the jack of all trades and master of none" plies his handiwork undisturbed and with our sanction and approval. Who would not call this folly and nonsense?

MAN WOMAN Put a noble man and woman side by Bide and you may look upon far finer things than any touch of hand or thought of brain ever conceived. No two men or women are alike though each Is made in the image of the Creator. A man the trail blazer and pathfinder, tho hewer, the builder, the provider, the fighter and protector the leader over hard stretches and thru
untried things. A woman the understander, the tvatcher and sympathizer, the gentle force, the keen senser, the guardian fuider, the teacher, the natural ruler, the appreciator, the mother of all the pivot around which the heart interest of the world revolves.

Since modern science has at last brought forth the amazing facts of how people become weakened and rundown, pale and haggard, careworn and prematurely old often simply because of the lack of those life-giving substance the vitamines most astonishing results are being reported everywhere. The remarkable experience of nervous, delicate, sallow-com-plexioned women worn, fretful and unattractive would surely seem to show that practically any woman who is not afflicted with some organic disease may often quickly build up the radiant life, splendid vitality and matchless beauty of perfect health simply by getting sufficient vitamines into her system. In explaining tho startling success being obtained by administering vitamines la the concentrated form known as Vitamon, when practically everything else had failed. Dr. John J. Rudolph, former Health Commissioner, late of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, and Columbus Hospital of New York, and a Graduate of the University of Baltimore, Bays : "Don't blame your physician or the beauty specialist don't blame your creams, lotions or cosmetics and don't blame yourself if your

NEAR "THE PERFECT WOMAN"
CONSULT THIS PICTURE AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF
ARE YOU?
By means of the picture which appears above, every woman can easily check herself up on many of the points which most vitally affect her health, appearance and the happiness of her whole life. This illustration 6houid enable you to decide for yourself exactly where you stand and in just what particular ways your own health, charm and physical attractiveness may be increased. Read In this article how you may get In VITAMON these strangely marvelous substances the vitamines which science declared absolutely necessary to vigorous health, physical beauty, mental vigor and even to life itself.
"Nature supplies vitamines In various raw foods, but to attempt to eat enough of these raw foods to get the full amount of vitamine3 which the system requires for health and strength is almost a physical impossibility. Therefore, vitamines are now prepared in a concentrated, easily as
similated tablet form called Vitamon and numerous tests by men, women and children have plainly proved its extraordinary merit. There has come to my attention the case of one woman who thought her health and beautyhad gone forever. Yet, once the needed vitamines were supplied, a most astonishing change quickly took place. It is such instances as these
which absolutely convince me that with the Introduction of VITAMON there no longer seems any doubt that many a paje, anaemic, delicate woman may quickly build herself up to renewed vim and power and marvelously enhance the beauty of her
appearance.. Note: An apremnt has ben reached whereby VITAMON Is supplied at a prlco low enough to be within the reach of all. and completely satisfactory results are guaranteed or r.ionev will be promptly refunded. VITAMON mav now be obtained in this city from all leading- druggists, such as Thistlewaite. Daffler & Spanagal, Qulley's, Fosler and A. G. Luken.
