tn March, .1908, the City of
SUnnton, Virginia, with a popu
lation of 12,000 or more, threw off
th yoke of municipal government
by Council Committees and adopt
ed the unique and business method
of government by a General Man
ager, whose prototype is found iu
every large private corporation.
As every person is, no doubt, more
or less familiar with the cumber
some and expensive operation of
municipal government through
Council Committees, it Is hardly
necessary to dwell on the disadvan
tage of a system so antiquated,
which should have been abolished
5. The General Manager before
entering upon the duties of his
office shall execute a bond before
the Clerk of the Council in the
penalty of 13.000 with good and
sufficient surety, conditioned for
the faithful performance of the
duties of his office."
This ordinance, as will be readi
ly seen, is brief and simple, yet
broad in its general terms, and can

all of their time and attention, and
it is not reasonable to presume
that they, receiving neither pay
nor thanks for anything they may
do for the interest of the city, can
afford to neglect their, private in
terests to look after the business of
the dty. Hence, under the old
system, the affairs of theciy were
run by the heads of departments
with the assistance of a few Coun
oilmen, who, in a great many cases,
were contractors bidding for city
contracts. Not infrequently, also,
the heads of departments were
men totally unfit for the positions
they occupied, who had received
their appointments aud held their
jobs through political or other
favored influence. Under the pre
sent "Staunton Plan" this is all a
thing of tbe past, and the business
of the city is conducted on the
'same general business principles
all large industrial private corpo
rations are conducted on.

The number of diseases peculiar
to women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and
it is a fact that most of these dis
eases are of a catarrhal nature. A
woman cannot be well if there is a
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is no
help for them. We positively de
clare this to be a mistaken idea.
We are so snre of this that weoTer
to supply medicine absolutely free
of all cost in every instance where
it fails to give satisfaction, or does
not substantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our hon
esty of purpose, or hesitate to put
our claims to a test.
There is only one way to over
come catarrh. That way is through
the blood. You may use all the
snuffs, douches or like remedies for
years without getting more than
temporary relief at best. Catarrh
