I NC OME TAX NOTICES.
Notices were mailed out Saturday by
the collector of internal revenue and
deputies to persons who failed to make
out their income tax returns correctly
Persons receiving these notices are ask
ed to give them prompt attention.
The
Commission - Manager
Plan
ORGANIZATION—
The people elect three commissioners,
or five if the city's population exceeds
25,000. The Commission hires a City
Manager, who appoints department
heads. The organization is exactly the
same as that of any corporation. The
Commissioners are directly responsible
to the people and the Manager is re
sponsible to the Commissioners.
No divided responsibility or overlap
ping authority.
No chance to "Let George Do it."
No star-chamber sessions of the Com
mission.
Fewer appointive and elective officers,
less cost.
Provisions for the payment of pensions
for members of Fire and Police De
partments. Adequate pay for services.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS—
Budget system of expenditures issued
to the public.
Saving in purchase of city's supplies.
Thorough sanitary inspection.
Disposal of garbage at a profit instead
of expense.
Free legal aid to the poor.
Reduced infant mortality.
Social evil and consequent spread of
disease checked by reformative and
medical measures, instead of fining and
turning loose as a further menace to
public health.
Petty criminals and drunks put to work
instead of spending their days in idle
ness. Wages go to support of family.
Death rate reduced.
Increased facility for amusement and
entertainment of children and grown
ups also.
WHY IT WORKS—
Politicians eliminated because of short
ballot, only commissioners to elect, and
these not on a party basis.
Easier for citizens to keep track of
their government and to control it,
hence more Democratic than old plan.
A single body, the Commission, has all
the power needed to get good results.
No checks and balances—no pulling and
hauling, deadlocks or delays.
FINALLY—
Some two hundred cities and towns
have adopted the Commission-Mana
ger plan since August, 1913. Not one
of them has ever returned to the old
mayor-councilmanic system of munici
pal government. "THERE'S A REA
SON."
Women and men of Great Falls, vote
to bring into being a form of govern
ment for our city that will protect child
life, guard public health, lower tax
rates and provide recreation for both
children and grown-ups, a government
that is directly responsible for its acts
of ommission or commission to you, the
people, a government which by nature
of its formation is instantly responsive.

Doctor Tells How To
Eyesight 50 per cent In One
Week's Time In Many Instances
A Free Prescription Ton Can Have
Filled and Use at Home
Philadelphia, Pa.—Do you wear glasses?
Are you a victim of eye strain or other
eye weakness f If so. yon will be glad
to know that according to Dr. Lewis
there Is real hope for you. He says neglect
causes more eye troubles and poor sight
than any other one thing. Many whose
eyes were failing say they have had their
eyes restored through the principle of
this wonderful free prescription. One
man says, after trying It: "I was almost
blind; could not see to read at all. Now
I can read everything without any glasses
and my eyes do not water any more. At
night they would pain dreadfully; now
they feel fine all the time. It was like
a miracle to me." A lady who used It
says: "The atmosphere seemed hasy with
or without glasses, but after using this
prescription for 15 days everything seems
clear. I can even read fine print without
glasses." It Is believed that thousands
who wear glasses can now discard them
In a reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen tRelr eyes so
as to be spared tbe trouble and expense
of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple rules.
Here Is the prescription: Go to any
active drug store and get a bottle of
Bon-Opto tablets. .Drop one Bon-Opto
tablet In a fourth of a glass of water
and allow to dissolve. With this liquid
bathe the eyes two to four times dally.
You should notice your eyes clear up
perceptibly right from the start and In
flammation will qulckl]
your eyes are bothering .
Ue, take steps to save them now before It
quickly disappear,
you, even
if
m
Is too late. Many hopelessly blind might
have been saved If they had cared for
their eyes in Ume.
Kote: Another prominent physician to
whom the above article was submitted,
said: "Bon-Opto Is a very remarkable
remedy. Its consUtuent Ingredients are
well known to eminent eye specialists and
widely prescribed by them. The manu
facturers guarantee it to strengthen eye
sight B0 per cent in one week's time in
many Instances or refund the money. It
can be obtained from any good druggist
and Is one of the very few preparations
I feel should be kept on hand for regular
use In almost every family." It Is sold
in this city by all good druggists, Includ
In this city by Great Falls Drug Co. and
other druggists.
