CITY HALLS ARE RUN TOO OFTEN BY GREEDY MEN, STATES BREADY "The curse of American municipal life today is that our city halls are

too often dominated by men who are only in office for what they can get out of it." declared Dr. Russell H. Bready, Chautauqua platform manager.

in a platform editorial delivered Tuesday night Dr. Bready spoke for sev

eral minutes between the musical pre

lude and the entertainment by Gay

Zenola MacLaren. His subject was "Commission Managerial Municipal Government." "I am a firm believer in commission government, but if under it, you elect the typical politician, and the ward healer, and the neighborhood boss, and the barber shop statesman, and the garage orator, you will have rotten municipal government "One fact has always driven me in

to being in favor of commission gov.

ernment. and that is. the gang in every city that always is against it I do not mean by that that there are not certain good people against it, but there is one type that always lines up that way, and anything that gang wants I ara against. I do not want to be in their political company." States Position.

"The rule is that all the folks who

have been in the city hall, who can

be aldermen, who think that likely

some day they may be mayor, are

against it. The political boss is always against it because it is more dif

ficult to hold the gang and the ring

together under commission govern

ment. He knows that if that comes

his cake is dough. He knows it means

death to ward politics." Dr. Bready pointed out the centraliz

ing of responsibility which comes with

the commission government.

"Under the old form of city government, when you go to the city hall

to locate responsibility, what a

monkey they make out of you. They

will pass you around from office to

office and from official to official, and finally you will land on the street

without having been able to fix re sponsibility."

"When a school superintendent or

minister is being sought, do the people get local men or do they import them?

You go anywhere in the country to get the best trained men possible.

The city management needs a man

trained just as thoroughly. Because a man is succesful in some line what qualification is that for city management?"

BREAD is the one food we find on every table ; rich and poor alike. Pitv the man who eats

little bread. He tickles his palate at the expense of stamina and muscular strength. His resistance to disease is weakened by the rich foods he eats. We sometimes hear the expression "The sick rich man cannot get well." He pays the price of rich foods and too little bread. America owes the stamina of its workers, the virility of its thinkers, the sturdiness of its children to the fact that we are a nation of .bread-eaters. The most elaborate meal or the simplest, includes bread. What's so appetizing for the dainty luncheon as those wedges of sandwiches? What else can take the place of bread in the dinner pail?. What for breakfast can equal the zest of well--crisped toast? Bread always the "staff of life" always the foundation of the American meal has contributed nourishment that only of late have we fully

appreciated. Every slice of "BETSY ROSS" Bread provides a valuable quantity of VITAMINES. VIT AMINES are the very basis of good health. They make effective the other elements of nutrition. They promote the building of tissue and stimulate its repair. They see that a reserve is established for immunity against disease. VITAMINES also come from grains and fresh vegetables, from milk and butter. But the most dependable all-year-long source of supply of VITAMINES is bread "BETSY ROSS Bread." You can depend upon "BETSY ROSS" to give

you VITAMINES because they are put into it by the pure ingredients that are used and are retained completely by the scientific "BETSY ROSS" process which safeguards every stage of making.
