THE FREE LIBRARY
The attendance and • Irculation of the

surpassed any expejftatlon the trus-tees
had; the numser ol books being
not nearly large enough to .supply the
demand.
It is hoped, however, that later in
the year, thai sufficient money will
be contributed to buy more.
The following gives some Interesting
figures regarding the library:

POLITICS IN CONSHOHOCKEN
The tight in the Republican P
In Conshohocken ha- reached the Btage
when "fierce" is the mosl noting
word to describe it This town i- the
Btorm centei of the county; candidates
are here even day and -ill day and a
good part of the night, too.
The contest is a fight on John Booth,
lie has been one of the leaders nl' ihe
Republican Partj In this county for
years 11«- has mi BXS tO grind; be is
no seeker alter ottiee but believes that
every good citizen should interest him-self
in the selection of those who
govern us, and make our laws. He
has linBelflshly helped many of our
town to positions of honor and profit;
although one of the busiest of men he
has never been too busy to help along
a friend when in need.
\oi feeling in good health last win-ter
he went to Florida in March, and
on his return home found that plans
had been made to eliminate him from
County politics. Very nearly every
one of the "workers" in the party, not
seeing the plan, had unthinkingly
made promises against Mr. Booth's in-terest
When this plot was unfolded to Mr.
Booth there was a stormy time and
then came the determination that there
would be a fight. Mr. Booth came out
flat-footed as a delegate to the state
convention, and refused to hide behind
any one else. He is asking the sup-port
of his townsmen, believing mat
the great majority will not counte-nance
underhand tactics, and asks
tor their suffrage as a fellow resident.
The cry has been raised that this
is a fight for Penrose. This is non-sense.
That light will come when the
Legislature ll elected. Then every
candidate will have to come out in the
open. There will be no shirking then.
Kach one who does not come out flat-llootcd
against Senator Penrose will
be labeled as hi.- friend. This l'en-i
i y is one raised to cloud the is-sue

LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN
Thousands who hive been cured by
Hyotnei call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit the "Little Pocket
Physician." as it is so small that it
can be carried in the pocket or purse.
There i- really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If
you have me doubt about its value.
Thomas I-". McCoy will lei you have a
complete outfit with the understanding
that unless it cures catarrh, it will not
cosi you a cent.
The complete Hyomei outfit con
ni the "Little Pocket Physician" and a
bottle of Hyomei and costs only $1.00.
