The Advantages of Home Rule No one who has read the articles by Clarence D. Greene on the operation of the home rule system in the administration of the municipal affairs of Dayton will disagree with his conclusions as to the advantages of the new scientific system when compared with the old political regime. In his articles, Mr. Greene presented the new method of city government from all angles. He showed how the system made for real efficiency that manifested itself, not theoretically, but pracally, in the saving of money for the community and in the guarantee that the citizens were receiving full value for every, dollar which they paid in the form of taxes. Whenever a system of municipal government is able to enlist in its administration capable
men, who are trained for their positions and who know how to handle city affairs, the results are
30on apparent.
Reports from many cities that have adopted the new system indicate conclusively that it is
far superior to the old method, and that the citizens, who are the real stockholders in the municipal corporation, have no desire to abandon the newly found method of administering their affairs. Greater proof of the desirability of the system could not be demanded. Richmond requires little persuasion to abandon its present system for a new one. It will be one of the Indiana cities pressing the enactment of legislation to give Hoosier cities the right to
choose home rule. Other cities are in the same
mood, and the chances today are much brighter than they have been for many years that the legislature will be convinced that the time is here when the cities of the state should have the right to change their form of government if they desire to do it.
Reorganizing the Federal Service The adoption of a sound budget measure to assure efficiency and economy in the federal expenditures will be a long step toward the correction of some abuses in our national household. But even if congress should enact this piece of legislation, the work of reform would be only half done. Unless departments and bureaus, created with amazing rapidity in the last decade, be abolished or consolidated, the adoption of a budget system would in no wise eliminate much of the unnecessary expense which now attends the transaction of public affairs. Waste, red tape, and duplication of effort are inevitable under the present arrangement. Business cannot be expedited because the system which handles it is inefficient and cumbersome.

Pedestrian Please tell me of some of the great walking records of E. P. Weston, I he "grand old man of the road". Edward Payson Weston walked from Portland, Me., to Chicago, twice in 18G7. He walked the distance in 25 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes. Beginning on Oct. 29, 1907, he again walked the distance in 24 days, 19 hours and 15 minutes, beating the former record by 1 day, 3 hours and 15 minutes. Weston walked from New York to San Francisco, leaving New York on his 71st birthday, March 5, 1909, covering 2,895 miles in 105 days (Sundays excepted), arriving In San Francisco on July 14.

Scientific reorganization and consolidation of certain branches of the federal service is proposed in a measure which Senator McCormick of Illinois intends to present in congress as a basis of discussion rather than as a solution of the problem. It is hoped that increased efficiency will follow the adoption of a measure which will result from the study of the problem. The task of affecting a reform of this sweeping nature will not be an easy one; but an attempt to bring about retrenchment by lopping off unnecessary employes and shutting up bureaus whose work could be done by other departments would not displease the public.
Receiver is Asked For Big Textile Company (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, Dec. 2. A petition for the
appointment of a receiver of the Lowell Textile Company, cotton manu
facturers of North Chelmsford, was filed in the federal court today by Clarence N. Frohlich and William V. Barbour, of Memphis, Tenn., who represent themselves as creditors to the extent of $60,896, for cotton sold the company. The bill of complaint says that the company has plenty of assets to pay the claim without loss to any of its creditors, but that if sale of its goods is forced in order to meet its debts, the property will be "completely disintegrated." Judge Anderson set Dec. 6 for a hearing on the petition.

CREDIT AND CHARACTER A house or great building is built vpon a very solid foundation. I have always been interested in watching th start of such an affair. There is ;i fascination to seeing big rocks or concrete blocks sunk deep into the earth. Because, you ser. for years the foundation must bear th-3 greatest strain holding up all the rest.
It's the same with a man and with
quit, the weary spieling of high affairs of state, and fix the kitchen ceiling, and paint the garden gate. We hoped to see elected the statesmen we adored, and most of us neglected sane labors while we roared. And now the smoke of battle is gone, to my delight; from Bangor to Seattle there is no smoke in siht. Iet.'s ran the vital issues, for now they seem absurd, and all the woozy tissues of falsehoods that we heard; and let's forgot the ranting and all the old turmoil, while we get busy planting fall nutmegs in the soil.

with no port in sight, and with no cornpars. And in business, with credit weak and untrustworthy, there is no
chance for stability or growth. Trust is the keynote to each. The elder Morgan once stated that he often loaned a million dollars on character alone! Strong men follow character. Year after year, the believers in Peary followed him across frozen miles till ho achieved the hope of his heart and ambition of his life. Credit and character go hand in hand. They are twins'. Strive for them both.

The super-nut wandered into a shop. "I say," he said to the shopman, "could you take that yellow tie with the pink spots out of the window for me?" "Certainly sir," replied the shopman. We're pleased to take anything out of the windaw at. any time." "Thanks, awf'ly. It's jawly good of you" as he made for the door. The thing bothaws me every time I pass Goo' mawnin'!"
The company had ben marching for two solid miles without a rest and Recruit Sullivan, holding the exalted rank of No. 3 in the rear rank, first squad, had about come to the limit of his endurance. Finally, just as he was about to give up the ghost and drop, the captain gave the command, "Company, halt." "By the Lord captain," groaned Sullivan, as he eased off his pack, you took the very words out of my mouth."
"A fat and lucious rabbit," I said, "would be the stunt; It long has been my habit To have an animal hunt." The gang said, "That's the ticket" We hired us a car. And soon through bush and thicket, We hunted near and far.

And midst the grassa 'quiver, I spied a setting hare. "Now kick him out! I'll pop him!" "No shoot him there!" they cry; "Or else you'll never drop him; This grass is far too high." Another hint they tfirew out; "Ht.'U scoot beneath the car, You'll shoot a tire, a blowout And blooey, there you are." I aimed above his collar, And fired, and missed him fair; "Another shot," they holler, "He's there, he's there, he's thers!" I fired again and missed him, And still ho hadn't fled; And then I knew their system; Says I, "That rabit's dead!" "You've bought a Belgian bunny From Frobel's butcher shop." They howled, "Oh boy. it's funny!" I thought they'd never stop. "If we'd a known," they thundered, "What fun was in that hare, We'd blown another hundred And bought a grizzly bear.

TO RELIEVE CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES T'ersons suffering from catarrhal deafness, or who .-ire growing hard of
hearing anil have in. -ad noises, will be i
!ad to know that this distressing s'ffl iii ion can usually bo successfully treated at home by ;r internal medicine that in many instances has effected complete relief after other treatments had failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent i liar ihe tick of a watch was plainly audible seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them, and you may have been the moans of s-aving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows: Secure from your druggist 1 ounce Parmint (double strength). Take this home and add to it U pint oof hot water and a little granulated sugar. Stir until dissolved. Take one tablctpoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle car, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in hissing sounds in their ears, should any form, or distressing rumbling, give this recipe a trial. Advertisement.

Why We jCan Sell You Over a Quart of Milk for Less Than a Bottle of Milk Costs
YOU know that when you open a tin of Every Day Milk and add the water we have taken out, you get a good deal more than a quart of rich country milk. Did you ever wonder how we can sell that extra amount of first grade milk for less than a bottle of milk costs?
MILK, you know, doesn't cost as much on the farm as in the city. But when it has to be brought many miles to you when it has to be kept cold for a whole day, perhaps in big travelling ice boxes when it has to be watched to make sure it doesn't sour when it has to be delivered at your door in expensive glass bottles before you wake up all that brings up the price. Compare this expensive way with the economical Every Day way. Right near the farm we

Stop wasting money on oldfashioned milk when you can get Every Day the modern milk. Don't be the last woman in your town to save money on your milk bills. Your Every Day is waiting for you at your grocer's.
