fop the nonpartisan election of n major
.V1 and coiinTilmen m riilladelphlu.
Ocoirc W. Coles, chairman of the
if ion n nicotine committee and a memher
Jjf'of the charter revision committee, said
iho. charter revisionists would not pi ess
I tlie 'nonpartisan idea it they found
' , "sentiment against it."
"Our committee simply indoiscd tli
nonpartisan principle," Raid Mr. Coles.
"No amendments to incorporate the
nqnpartisan idea into the charter bills
have been drafted, nnd vvlirtlicrtlievvvill
bo Inter on is yet to ho determined."
A Short time after Mi, Coles px-
" pressed the position of the charter ie-
Vlslonisls, the Senate passed, hv n vote
of thlrtv -three to twelve, the Will-on
h"ouse bill to repeal the Clark noupaitl-
bbU law for third-class cities.
Hi McNIchol was Absent
Every one of the eight Philadelphia
senators, with the exception of William
J. McXichol, who was absent, voted
lor the icpcalcr.
One of the surpiics was the vote for
the repealer of Senator George Wood
ward, sponsor of the chartor bills.
Two votes by Dr. Woodward caused
' rmuch speculation around the" Capitol.
One was his ballot for the nonpartisan
lepealer nnd the other was for the Leslie
bill, to talo away fioin the Councils in
Pittsburgh any jurisdiction ocr the ex
penditures of the Pittsbuigh civil serv
ile commission.
Governor Sproul declared himself
against the "principle embodied in the
Leslie hill because it would create n
situation in Pittsburgh over the civil
Ncrvkc commission similar to that ex
isting iu Philadclpha over the Munici
pal Couit.
Co'uncils in Philadelphia have o ju
rlsdlction over the expenditures of the
Municipal Comt, which puts through
i mandamus cveiy time it wants monev
( nnd Councils is compelled to find
amount needed.
In his speech in the Senate Inst week
Doctor Woodward was. emphatic in his
disapproval of the mandamus evil in
Philadelphia, and in n facetious lefcr
rnec to it declared "mandamuses nie
Ro, numerous In Philadelphia that they
are naming babies after them."
The Governor in his Inter) lew last
Week dcelaicd that one of life objections
to the charter bills in their piesent
. shape was that they did not dearly

condition would he brought about "like
that of the Municipal Couit."
I j Anoiucr uucxpeiieu uciay over ine
charter bills, which ma) defer final
action on those measures in the House
until week after next, has bobbed up.
Attorney General Schnffer bus asked
for n hearing on the bills some day
next week to give law .vers for and
against the measures nn opportunity to
discuss the legul phases of the bills.
Among the authorities to he in
itcd to discuss the legal merits of the
' measures are John Hampton Uarnes,
John P. Connelly, city solicitor; Joseph
P. Gaflney, chairman of Councils fi

Feast or Famine
Theatrical advertising is often used as an example
of a feast or famine business that falls outside the
prosaic rules.
It is pointed out that with the show a great suc
cess, advertising is unnecessary; and with a failure,
the more advertising the sooner the demise.
In the main, of course, this is true advertising,
like heat, intensifies action. And if a play or a cook
stove is unsatisfactory, the least said the soonest
mended.
However, there may be secured from seasonal
successes a certain permanent asset.
t Take Bclasco, for example, has he not secured
from his past triumphs a tangible asset in a favor
able presumption for his new productions?
If you make silks or 'art creations that arc ephe
meral, some part of the season's triumph can be and
should be retained as a permanent asset of your line.
For an industry of spasmodic successes, advertis
ing acts as a great conserving balance-wheel.
Adverthtnz space in the Butend pulticationt
is for sale h accredited advertising agencies.

THE POLICE FORCE!

going on in your body be

and the white blood cor

the human body.
If this police force weakens,

Constipation is the most common
and dangerous way of corruptine
the human police force. Food
waste remains too lone in the in
testines decajs poisons the blood
and opens the way for attack by
the cerms that cause tuberculosis,
diphtheria, pneumonia and a mul
titude of othc iMs.
The culpable habit of usinc salts,
pills, mineral waters, castor oil,
etc., to force the bowels to moc,
makes this condition even worse,
as constipation returns almost im
mediately. Nujol is entirely different from
drugs as it docs not force or irritate
the bowels.
Nujol prevents stagnation by soft
ening the food waste and encour
aeinE the intestinal muscles to act
naturally, thus removing the cause
of constipation and self-poisoning.
It is absolutely harmless and pleasant.
Nujol helps Nature establish easy,
thorough bowel evacuation at reg

fifVEN of the 28th Division, the City of Phila

been stirred many times by the news of your
valor and devotion to duty in the great war, and
they eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you
back to the Keystone State, and to show, as best
they can, how proud they are of you.
We are sure you will appreciate the welcome,
but we have had evidence that you will receive
these honors very modestly, and we know your
own thoughts are chiefly of HOME first, to get
back to your own loved ones, to sit at your own
family table, to sleep in your own bed; and. next, you
! are eager to get into your CIVILIAN CLOTHES.
