This contest will be different from any subscription voting contest
ever held in Commerce. Other contests have provided for obtaining
votes not alone by subscription but by advertising, job printing, through
merchants and by sale of coupons, thus giving rise to confusion and,
sometimes suspicion of unfairness.
This contest will be confined strictly to subscriptions to the Daily and
Weekly Journal. No votes will be sold at any price.
Everything will be conducted on a high plane and in the fairest pos-
sible way. i

Mrs. B. D. Duncan, Chestnut St.,
Commerce, says: “I think the drink-
ing water affected my kidneys and
caused my back to ache. I had a tir-
ed, drowsy feeling and could scarcely
do my housework. I was very nervous
and became easily excited. I also had
dizzy spells, when things seemed to
swim before my eyes. I used one box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
greatly relieved me.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t sim-
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Duncan had. Foster-Milburn

Thirteen years ago, Chester A. Har-
rington, left home to cast his fortune
with the United States Navy. He was
barely eighteen years of age then,—
and had been waiting for that day to
come when he could enlist. At the
expiration of his first enlistment, he
was so well pleased that he re-enlisted
for another term of four years, and
he is now serving on his fourth enlist-
ment.
Mr. Harrington has been in active
aervices nearly all the time. He has
made two trips around the world with
Uncle Sam’s ships. He was an active
participant in the taking of Vera Cruz
in 1914. He receives a handsome sal-
ary, and will be entitled to retire on
three-fourths pay at the end of this
enlistment. Should he serve out
twenty years, he will be able to quit
the service on full pay.
Mr. Harrington has recently
assigned to take charge of the recruit-
ing station at Beaumont. The follow-
ing article is taken ’from the Beau-
mont Journal of Jan. 11th:
August Biel, chief boatswain’s mate
of the United States navy, who last
August established a sub-recruiting
station in the federal building here
has received orders to go to Houston
w'here the main recruiting station of
this district is now located, having
been moved from Galveston January
5. Mr. Biel will leave January 15th
and will be stationed at the main of-
fice in Houston permanently.
Officer Biel will be succeeded by
C. A. Harrington, chief gunner's mate
who arrived here Tuesday from Hou.
ton. Mr. Harrington is a native Tex-
an. He has been in the navy thirteen
years and was in active service until
last November, when he was trans-
ferred to the recruiting service. “I
was given my choice between Beau-
mont and Austin,” said Officer Har-
rington, “and I selected Beaumont,
for I have been here before and know
that this is one of the best towns in
the south.”
R. S. Sheehan, gunner’s mate, first
class, junior officer in charge of the
Beaumont station, will remain here.
Since the office was established
here last August fifteen recruits have
been enlisted.
“During the past two weeks we have
had a great many more applicatiants,”
said Officer Biel, “but many of them
have not come up to the requirements
of the navy department.” «
Mr. Biel regrets his departure from
Beaumont, for during his brief stay
here he has made a host of friends.
