Avoid Sedative Coxtfli Irdlclnes, If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneoumonia, use cough medicines that contain codlne, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamber lain's Cough Ttemedy is what Is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneu monia and other germ diseases. That la why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is tided. It has a world-wide reputation for Its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.

Another deal and a clean slate to twelve of the thirteen saloonkeepers who were haled before the Fire and Police board for breaking the liquor laws a week ago. Yesterday noon the board allowed seven of the accused men to reopen their places of business which had been closed for a couple of days. The seven Included Stan ley Zagar, Joe Vodlek, Joe Stanek, George Latka, Emll Hansen, Teter McQoldrlck and Louis Sovu. The board found that there was not sufficient evidence adduced to warrant the revocation of the licenses. At the evening session Mayor Hoctor announced that the cases against five of the six remaining had been dismissed. The case of Louis Stchlek, 412 Q street, was continued for more testimony. It Is said that some of the saloonkeepers are determined not to forget the recent per formances of the board. It was urged by many that the board has no authority to close the saloons of the city except on complaints provided for under the law. None of the men accused In the recent trial was complained of according to the law. Their alleged Infractions of the liquor law were "reported" to the Fire and Police board, which forthwith ordered the places closed and held the proprietors to trial. Louis Stchlek, who was held for further Investigation, Is understood to have given some dubious testimony at his trial and the police, It is said, will procure wit nesses to contradict his story. Stehlek Is said to have operated without restraint. According to Information, some of the saloonkeepers may yet face Judge James CaUanan on the charges of running out of hours. The hearing given by the board amounted to nothing so far as the law Is concerned and It Is said that a number of private citizens havo taken the matter up on their own hook. The next time the complaints will be filed with Judge Calla nan or with County Judge Bryce Craw ford. Stockman nobbed. J. II.

RESULT OF TWO YEARS' STUDY Report Mnys It Creates Administrative- Unity that Makes for Har mony HetTern the De partments. TORONTO. Nov. W.-Tho "oily man ager plan" of municipal government wa endorsed at the nineteenth annual meet ing of the National Municipal league to day by the special committee appointed two and a half years ago at the Rich mond meeting to study commission gov ernment and Its developments. Commission government at present rules more than 7.000,000 persons In 9M cities and towns. The supporters of the plan are divided as to whether commis sioners should be elected for specific posts, as In Lynn, Mass., or on a general ticket with power lo divide the depart ments among themselves after election as In Galveston and Dee Moines. The majority of the committee reported that neither solution was as sound as that of electing a commission purely representa tive and legislative In function, permit ting tho members to give only part time to municipal work and receive nominal salaries or none, and leave the chief ex ecutive work to a city manager hired by the commission from anywhere In the country and holding office at Its pleasure. This manager controls the remaining city employes under civil service provisions. The first city manager plan was em bodied In a charter prepared for Lock- port, N. T In 1911. The proposition, however, failed to get the approval of the state legislature. The plan first went Into effect at Sumter, S. C, January 1, 1913. Slnco then It has been adopted by Hickory and Mdrgantown, N. C; Dayton and Springfield, O.; LaGrande, Ore.; Phoenix, Ariz., and Morris, Minn. AdTantairea nf rian. The advantages ot the plan as pointed out by the committee were: "It creates a single-handed adminis trative establishment Instead of the ftv separate establishments seen lu the Des Moines plan. Thla administrative unity I makes for harmony between municipal departments, slnco all are subject to a common head. 'The city manager plan permits expert- ness In administration at the point where It Is most valuable, namely, at the head. "It permits comparative permanence In the office of the chief executive, whereas In all plana Involving elective executives long tenures are rare. ji permits tne vniei executive o mi- i grate from city to city. Thus an experi enced man can be summoned at advanced salary from a similar post In another city. "While giving a single-headed admlnls. ' tratlon It abolishes the one-man power seen In the old mayor and council plan. The manager has no Independence, and the city need not suffer from his per nnal whims or nreludlces. since ho I subject to Instant correction, or even discharge, by tho commission. Likewise In tho commission each member's In dividual whims or prejudices aro safely submerged and averaged In the combined Judgment of the whole commission, since no member exerts any authority In the municipal government save as one voting member of the commission. Dlsclpllnr and Harmony, "It abandons all attempts to chooso ad ministrators by popular election. This Is desirable because: It leaves the lines of responsibility un mistakably clear, avotdlne the confusion in the Des Moines plan between the re sponsibility of tho Individual commis sioners and commission as a whole. It Provides basis for better dlsclDllne and harmony, Inasmuch as the city man ager cannot sarely be at odds with the commission as can the Des Moines com missioners In their capacity as depart ment heads or the mayor with the council in tne mayor and council plan. It Is better adapted for large cities than the Des Moines plan. In very small cities, by providing the services of one well paid manager Instead of five or three paid commissioners. It makes possible economy In salaries and overhead expenses. The committee making this report con sisted of Richard S, Chllds, secretary National Short Ballot association, chair man; Prof. Charles A. Bard, Columbia university; Prof, William Rennett Munro, Harvard university; Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Philadelphia, and Dr. Krnest S. Bradford, Washington, D, C, author of "Commission Government In American Cities."
