BREEZE CHAI WITH
VITALITAS RIAN
TELLS OF LAUGH HE HAD AND
AIRS PERSONAL VIEWS RE-
GARDING NEW PRODUCT.
"You see that old man going out
with a bundle under his arm?”
queried the Vitalltas man at the
Wagner drug store.
"Well you would have had a
good laugh if you had been here
a few minutes ago and heard him.
"He came In and asked how
much of this Vitalltas we had. 1|
told him there was no limit to the •
quantity—enough to cure the whole
world.
" ‘Well’ he Bald ‘if this was all
there was of it —just what you have
got here I would buy it aH. I am
80 but it has made me a boy again.
I can do a jig right here' and
he shuffled his feet lightly. He
Bald as long as there was plenty
of it he would just take two more
bottles—one for himself and one
for his wife. 'I want the old lady
to get young again too' he said.
7 “If we could print half the
things we hear and see at this
display counter we would not be
able to hold back the people. But
as It is we are busy from night
to morning. There is a constant
stream of those who are testing it
for the first time and also a
stream of old one« who have used
it and know.
"It is the greatest medicine in
the world and old Mother Nature
has made every drop of it. I
hear its praises sung from morn-
ing to night.
"Personally I do not believe there
is anything for which Vitalltas Is
not good. That is on the theory
that a thing that is all good can’t
do anything but good. We know
it is the greatest specific of the
day tor many stubborn and dead-
ly ailments and for these things
we guarantee it.
"A man In perfect health can
benefit from a dose now and then
of Vitalltas. It puts nothing but
nature forces into him and makes
him more than ever disease-resist-
ing.
"We know that Vitalltas forces
stomach trouble and rheumatism
from the human system. We know
it relieves and cures liver kidney
blood and skin disorders even
where all the ordinary remedies of
the day fall. We know’ It injects
vital force into those who are worn
out nervous and debilitated who
suffer brain fag or lost energy in
any function.
"Of course every one la not now
taking Vitalltas. Thousands are and
the others will be. Its fame is
spreading everywhere.
“Yes we are going to keep this
miniature plant going showing how
Vitalltas is extracted from the vol-
canic substance In which it Is
found. We want every one in San
Antonio to come in and see it. It
is instructive and wonderful. Come
to the Wagner Drug Store 407
East Houston.”

COUNCIL CLASH MAY
PRECEDE ELECTION
Opposition to Approval of Payrolls
Expected From Supporters of
Ryan Ticket
The council meeting Monday may
be enlivened by partisans of the two
political factions in their efforts to
gain some advantage but it Is not
likely that this will be productive of
lasting legislation. The fact that
Mayor Steves is backed by a ma-
jority of the council probably will
prevent the Ryan forces from gain-
ing any material advantage.
This will be the first meeting of
the month and the payrolls should
be passed. It Is known however that
certain of the Ryan aidermen will
oppose the adoption ot the measure
until after the election. If the five
men now rated as the opposition to
Mayor Steves vote as a unit on this
proposition the payrolls cannot be
passed under a suspension of the
rules as eight votes are required for
this. To hold up the payroll how-
ever Aiderman Richter’s vote will
be necessary unless he dodges the
issue and remains away from the
meeting. In any event he would be
hurt far more than members of the
Citizens' League who would be vot-
ing to pay the city employes.
It Is probable that a special meet-
ing of the council will be called for
Friday of this week at which time
the Judges and clerks of the elec-
tion on May 13 will be named. Mayor
Steves names the presiding judge in
each precinct and the opposition se-
lects supervisors.

I VOTERS KD
TO DO DUTY
ELECTION MT
“Better Vote Than Be Sorry”
Is Slogan of Citizens’
League Workers Now.
FEAR OVER-CONFIDENCE
Victory Is Assured If All in
Favor of Good Government
Will Visit Polls.
"Better vote than be sorry."
This Is to be the slogan of the
Citizens' League from now on un-
til after the polls close on elec-
tion day May 13. It was an-
nounced yesterday by T. T. Van-
derHoeven chairman of the cam-
paign committee of the league and
is to be used with a view of stim-
ulating Citizen* Leaguers to a
sense ot their duty.
"That is the only source of dan-
ger now confronting us" said Mr.
VanderHoeven "for If we can but
get out the vote on election day I
have no fear ot the result The
great majority of people have made
up their minds and will vote in
accordance with that decision al-
ready made. I am convinced that
a preponderance ot these are un-
alterably opposed to turning back
the city government Into the hands
of Mr. Ryan and his crowd who
for eight long years did nothing to
merit such confidence. The im-
pression however has gone forth
that this election is already won by
the Citizens' League and I fear
that many of our friends will not
take the trouble to go to the polls
on election day.
Two Years of Stagnation.
"Therein lies our danger. We
can rest assured that Mr. Ryan's
friends will be at the polls early
and they will vote with care. In-
cidentally. there may be a great
many more of them than our In-
vestigations have Indicated. It our
friends confident in present nu-
merical superiority remain at home
or go fishing and a light vote is
cast Mr. Ryan might be elected.
Once he accomplished this he
would have two long years in which
to rebuild his old machine and be-
fore the people may again pass on
his qualifications for the office of
mayor. What would be the re-
sult? • Two years more ot marking
time two years more of gang rule
tor even Mr. Ryan's friends place
no confidence in the vague prom-
ises ot his skillfully worded plat-
form. The watchword to every
member of the Citizens’ League
from this time forth should be
'Better vote than be sorry.’ We
can’t afford to take chances and
jeopardize the best interests ot
San Antonio. The future ot the
city is at stake in this electlln."
Mr. VanderHoeven's confidence
of the Citizens’ League present vot-
ing strength is borne out by re-
ports from ward and precinct
chairmen. Few if any of these
have completed the canvass ot
their respective territories but sub-
stantial are reported from
several where it was feared the
party might show a loss. In one
precinct for instance which was
carried by the Citizen's League two
years ago both in the charter elec-
tion and the Webb campaign by
17 votes and which the late Mayor
Jones carried last August by 37
votes there is a gain of 25 votes.
There are still a few voters in
this precinct to canvass but it Is
not believed they will materially
change the relative standing of the
parties.
80 Per Cent Unchangeable.
The big meeting held In the in-
terest of the ticket in the
Hermann Sons' garden Friday night
has by no means frightened the
Citizens’ Leaguers.
“I venture to say that 80 per cent
of the voters who. thus far have
taken no interest in the campaign
or not sufficient to attend any of
the meetings will vote for Brown
on election day” was Mr. Vander-
Hoeven’s comment on the Ryan
meeting. “It is hard to change the
minds of those thus already con-
vinced" he continued "and our
principal efforts now should be de-
voted to seeing that these men get
out and vote on May 13.”
On the whole the last week has
been productive of much good for
the Citizens’ League ticket. The
organization in each ward and pre-
cinct has been perfected and the
complete canvass of the city will
have been finished before next
Saturday night. During the com-
ing week It is probable that there
will be a heavier run of advertis-
ing and a greater number ot meet-
ings is scheduled. The list of
speakers also will be enlarged.
Plans are not entirely perfected but
It is anticipated that one of the
largest meetings of the campaign
will be held next Friday night.
TRAIN SCHEDULE CHANGED
San Antonio Uvalde & Gulf Gives
Visitors More Time.
A change in the time card of the
San Antonio Uvalde & Gulf railroad
Is to become effective next Thurs-
day. Instead of leaving San Antonio
at 10:45 a. m. the southbound train
will leave here at 11 o’clock. The
northbound train will leave Carrizo
Springs at 6:10 a. m. instead of
6:30 and will arrive In San Antonio
at 1:15 p. m.. Instead of 1:35 the
present time of arrival. The trains
will meet at Leming instead of
Pleasanton.
“Under this arrangement" said
President A. R Ponder "the peo-
ple living along the line of our road
will have two half days in San An-
tonio by remaining over night. As
the condition of our roadbed Is be-
ing improved we have been able to
materially reduce our schedule. The
leaving time for the train out of San
Antonio has been fixed late in the
morning so as to accommodate all
the travelers coming in on the other
roads desiring to use our line.”

COUNTY AND
CITY HOSPITAL
DEEMED NEED
Mayoralty Candidates Are
Approached for Position
on Project.
BOTH ASSURE APPROVAL
Judge Davis Says Courity Is
Already Devoting Energy
to Aid of Sick.
Some time after election of the
new city administration May 13 a
meeting of county and city officials
will be held to discuss the feasability
of erecting a joint county and city
hospital. The need Of better facili-
ties for care of the sick is appre-
ciated by County Judge James R.
Davis and members of the commis-
sioners' court and both of the op-
posing candidates for mayor have
taken positions in favor of a new
'city hospital. Whether the two gov-
lernments will join in working out a
| scheme for the betterment of con-
ditions remains as an outcome ot the
conference.’
A committee appointed at a re-
cent meeting of representatives of
various civic and charitable organi-
zations appeared before Judge Davis
and members of the commissioners’
court yesterday and were given an
expression of their willingness to
confer with city officials on the
question “or with anybody else in-
terested in the matter of better hos-
pital facilities.’’
Hospital Hold Necessity.
While the committee was unable
to see Clinton G. Brown candidate
for mayor on the Citizens' ticket Mr.
Brown's position on the issue of a
modern city hospital Is well known.
At a recent meeting in Hermann
Sons' hall he declared he believed
a new hospital to be an absolute
necessity. If elected mayor it is fair-
ly certain he will not be averse to
talking over the hospital situation
with county officials.
When approached by the commit-
tee Joseph Ryan candidate for
mayor on the People’s party ticket
said his platform pledged him to an
up-to-date hospital. If elected he
said he saw no objection to discuss-
ing the question of a joint hospital
with the county administration but
remarked that he was not commit-
ted to work with the county In this
respect.
Betterments Are Planned.
The committee appointed last
Tuesday consists of John B. Car-
rington. Miss A. De Zavala J. P.
Ward Mrs. F W. McAllister and Dr.
M. J. Bliem. In appearing before
Judge Davis this morning the entire
committee was not represented.
Robert J. Newton secretary of the
Texas Antl-Tuberculosls Association
acted as spokesman and sought to
have Judge Davis commit himself
in favor of a joint hospital.
Judge Davis declined however to
take such a position saying he was
not sure whether it would be better
for the county to act with the city
or to continue as has been done in
the past. He made the statement
that even now the county Is bearing
some of the city's burden In caring
for sick persons. Judge Davis said
the matter ot Improvement of hos-
pital facilities is being given serious
consideration by the county admin-
tration and that betterments are in
contemplation for the present year.
Mr. Newton is secretary of the
organization of which Mrs. O. B. Col-
quitt is president. At the last session
of the Legislature the association
was responsible for passage of the
McGregor-Colquitt county hospital
and dispensary law requiring coun-
ties of more than 10.000 population
to maintain hospitals. The associa-
tion is active in pushing the cam-
paign for more hospitals in all parts
of the state.
