Dillon, former superintendent of the municipal electric light plant. These rumors involved both the method " of his administration of the utility and his personal honesty. '

i Some of these charges were of

tions; others-Of a minor nature. His own personal affairs were dragged into the discussion and were the subject of comment and criticism. Confronted with them, Dillon in the past has been able to give a satisfactory explanation. ; Now, he is held in the county jail on a charge of making out and certifying falsely the payroll of the light plant in seven instances, the amount involved, being $735. , The" facts i which the, city , officials have in their possession; they say, are conclusive as to his guilt. The public believes that a start has been made in sifting, to the bottom the accusations and charges against his integrity as a public officer. The present charge is accepted as a basis" inviting further investigation to see if accusations that are of graver moment -andx consequence are warranted in fact.1 Has he indulged in petty graft and also in

Musings for the Evening Next to going to a cat show, .our supreme delight is in attending a social, tea at which some parlor Bolshevik' tries to tell us how we are all wrong. We know we are all wrong, or we wouldn't be at the tea, so" if is clear waste of time to listen to him. The thing we want to know is wtiat to do about it, and no parlor Bolshevik we have ever heard ha3.come across with any solution. TWO MEN . Two men walked along the street. One moved with hi3 head bowed; tho other with his head back. The one seemed to be ever search ing the ground for the leavings and the losings of the passerby hoping to pick up the jewels and the money and the trifles of the gutter. The other stumbled over the matter under foot. His eyes were fixed on the azure blue: he was searching for dreams and ideals; be was grasping for the beauties of the spiritual sphere; he was living always in the clouds. . The one mail drew forth the utterance "Miser!" and the other "Fool!" The individual with his head down discovered a pocketbook, ran off with the sneaking manner of a thief, and round himself a wealthy gentleman. Th dreamer with his head in the clouds discovered a phrase, and he wrote it into a poem and gave it to WHY STAY FAT? YOU CAN REDUCE The answer of most fat people is that it is too hard, too troublesome and too danpjerous to force the weight down. Marmola Prescription Tablets overcome all these difficulties. iney are absolutely harmless,- entail no dieting or exercise, and have the added advantage of cheapness. A case is sold at one dollar by all .drufffflsts tho world over, 'or sond the price direct tq the Marmola Co., 4612 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Mich. Now that you know this, you have no excuse for being fat, but can, reduce steadily and easily without , pofner through Ions: sieges of tiresome exercise and starvation diet or fear of bad effects.

THE

boodling on a big scale, involving big sums of money, which went into his pocket ?, These are, the questions which the public would ' like to see answered conclusively. No stone should be left unturned to dig uy the facts

and to determine, once for all, whether the public funds have been misused and whether graft

has entered into

persistent one, in which every factor and every angle will be scrutinized closely to ascertain the

truth. The present on a track that should be followed scientious zeal. Without trying it may be pointed

strates the futility of trying to get satisfactory results from men who are not up to the standard

major propor for the tasks to . The municipal

tition with private concerns who pay from 5,000 to $10,000 for efficient heads of their concerns. To get highly competent men, cities must meet

the salary competition of privately owned utilities. The city cannot reasonably expect to hire a competent man for $2,400 when competitors in the same line will pay $5,000 to $10,000 for the identical service. A high class man, who is at the head of a private utility will not relinquish his post for $2,400 annually. Municipalities are slow in appreciating the truth of this condition, but the sooner they do, the quicker will they obtain efficient management, and excellent results. All of which, however, does not defend a small-salaried man who is guilty of padding a payroll, of accepting bribes, or of indulging in practices that do not square with the highest precepts of probity and honesty. -

The world' has" never been against anyone! , The whole world is FOR you strong. m Every sun that rises and sets, every wave of air, every colored and fragrant flower, every bush and tree, every blade of grars, every tiny speck of sand and every great rock, every mountain, every stream, every shaded winding road, every strain of music, every touch of Nature's beauty, belongs in yart to you and is FOR you. Opportunity Is for you! "Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane! Each night I burn the records of the day At sunrise every soul is born again!"

The ripened fruits, the growing roots, of a thousand kinds, every natural spring, every waterfall, every bird song is for you. Every work of art, every fine and uplifting thought, every experience of heroism, every great deed work out these are for you. : And those who know and believe in you are for you. ' . The real wealth of the world is for all. That which inspires you and helps to lead you higher belongs to you. And it cannot be taken from you. . You can give it away and yourself become doubly enrichedbut the minute it makes you a better human being, it's yours. How much there is that is for you! -

After Dinner Trick 5 1 J Vo, 94 Naming Chosen Fruit. Give a person an apple and an orange,' one in each hand, and tell him to hold up either one, while your back is turned. After a few minutes of "concentration" tell him to take his hand down. Then you turn around, look -at the fruit, and then at his eyes, and immediately name which was chosen, the apple or the orange. . What you really observe is the person's hands. The one that held up the chosen fruit will be much whiter than flip other, as the blood left the hand while it was held up.

Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr..

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other-ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, grossy, soft and luxuriant.

When a Feller Needs ' a Friend

After Dii er umner otones Daddy came home from the office early one evening, and mother had not returned from some friends whom she had been visiting for" tea. Little four-year-old Gwennie ran up to her father's side. "Daddy," she cried, I've been wanting to see you for a long time when mother is not near." "Why, my little girl?" asked the father. "Well, dad," answered Gwennie, I "please don't tell mother, because she is an awful dear, but I don't think she knows much about bringing up children." "What makes you think that?" asked her father. " "Well," replied Gwennie, "she makes me co to bed when I am wide awake, and she makes me get up when I am awful sleepy.'
