necessary by tho General Land Of

than doubled, but despite that fact, all
cases, both civil and criminal, insti

POLICE OPPOSE SYSTEM
Merit Plan Wouldn't Give "Higher
fp" Advantage, Is Contention.
Policemen do not favor the proposed
merit system whereby Mayor Rushlight
and Councilman Burgard intend to
grant two days off each month to men
with a certain number of merit marks.
Tho men fear the system would give
the "higher tips" too much latitude and
an opportunity to favor their friends.
"The men want two days off each
month, regularly," said Councilman
Clyde. '"They think, as I do. they are
entitled to it, and they don't want any
eompromlse. such ets "proposed by the
Mayor and Mr. Burgard.
"They want all treated alike and are
opposed to the merit system because
they fear It will be used by the 'higher
ups' to favor friends and to punish en
emies. I shall, therefore, make a fight
for the original ordinance."

GOLD DUST makes bard
water as soft as rain water
Every good housewife knows the value of nice,
soft, rain water for washing clothes and for all
cleansing purposes. It isn't always convenient
to secure rain water, however. Neither is it
necessary. Gold Dust will soften the hardest
water, and make it so near like the water that
falls from the clouds that you couldn't tell the
difference.
Think what this means to you on wash day. There's a
deal of difference between the action of hard and soft water
for all cleansing. Just a little Gold Dnst added to the water
renders it soft and brings out the greatest cleansing value.
Try it the next time you wash clothes or dishes.
Gold Dust really cleanses so
easily that it relieves house
work of all its drudgery.
Do not use soap, naphtha,
borax, soda, ammonia or kero
sene with Gold Dust. Cold
Dust has all desirable cleani
ing qualities' in a perfectly
harmless and laating form.
