NONESSENTIALS COULD RELIEVE CO CRISIS? Commission Considers Asking 20-Day Shutdown of Certain Industries. BUT HAS NO POWER Industries in Indiana classed as nonessential may be requested to suspend operations for a period of about twenty days, as a result of the conference of superintendents of coal carrying railroads, coal operators and the public service commission this afternoon. The commission has no power to order such suspension. In addition to the possible request for a suspension of the non-essential utilities of the state, a request may be made of sand and gravel, and other shippers of the state, to withhold from making shipments from pits to various sections of the state for a definite period, in order that the cars thus used may be diverted to the shipment of coal. “If nonessential industries would suspend operations for twenty days." John W. McCardle, member of the public service commission, declared, “the public Utilities and the state institutions would have a chance to lay in a reserve supply of coal that would enable tbem to operate for an indefinite period next wlntef. "It is important that they be given this time. TIME TO GET RESERVE SUPPLY. “Right now the consumption of coal by the majority of the public utilities is at low ebb, and If they could be given a chance now to lay In their reserve supply it would be of great benefit to them. “The Indianapolis Water Company has almost exhausted its supply of coal, and should it run out completely the smallest fire would seriously endanger the safety of the city. “The railroads must have their coal, and the state institutions must have theirs, as well as the public utilities, and the only way I see out of the difficulty is to issue priorities for movement cf coal.” The withholding of shipments of products other than coal would also reach to grain movements. Mr. McCardle declared, regardless of the fact that this is the open season for shipments of grain because of the germinating season. "No doubt,” he continued, “thousands of dollars would be lost through failure of road builders and other contractors to receive materials, thus forcing them

SAYS HUSBAND HAD RHEUMATISM BAD llitfianapolis lady declares he couldn’t lay on one side from pains and no one could touch him, it hurt so bad. Muscles in back and shoulders very sofe, bowels bound up. Dreco has brought grand relief. "Many a night the pains have been so bad that my husband couldn't lay on his side, and to touch him gave great pain," said Mrs. Margaret Brown of 1115 Kathbone street, Indianapolis. Mr. Brown Aas a responsible position with Klngan A: Cos., Packers.-' “Rheumatism had him so bad that the muscles in his back, arms, shoulders and legs were very painful. He had terrible headaches and his bowels were bound up all the time. He was in a bad way, suffering day and night. “We kept hearing about Dreco and what it was doing for a lot of people, so we talked it over together and he decided to get a bottle. That has proven to be the best thing he ever did. After a few days his constipation was gone and his bowels were regular as a clock. He is now taking on his second bottle and is feeling fine. 'Most all the pains are gone and his side never bothers him. Sleeps sound all night long and goes to work feeling fresh and full of energy. Dreco sure has done him a lot of good." Dreco acts on a sluggish liver and puts new life Into it; overcomes stubborn constipation ; strengthens weak kidneys; aids the stomach to digest the food and pnrifies the ''•blood, thereby banishing catarrh and rheumatism. Mr. Williamson, the well-known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Clark & Cade's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the' merits of -this great remedy.

to suspend work, but the sacrifice must be made.” CAR SHORTAGE IS GREAT DIFFICULTY. As was noted at the conference held last Monday, between the coal operators and other men connected with the coal industry, the shortage of coal cars is the greatest difficulty confronting the commission in obtaining coal for the state. Orders issued by the interstate commerce commission to the effect that cars were to be moved eastward, have had no visible effect on Indiana, according to statements of railroad men. Several appeals have been made to the interstate commerce commission for priority orders for coal movements, the commission here feeling that only through this method will relief be given. It was expected that some action by the commission will be taken soon in regard to the suggestion that the state purchase cars and a mine for the supplying of coal to the state institutions. This plan was suggested by Maurice C. Shelton, state purchasing agent, but was discouraged by railroad men and coal operators at the conference held last week. The commission hopes to have within a few days a definite plan on which to work for the relief of the acute situation. Parmer Funeral to Be at New point Funeral services will be conducted Thursday afternoon at the residence of Joseph Parmer, Newpoint, Ind., for Claude Parmer, formerly of Indianapolis, vice president of the Kuert Contracting Company, who died Tuesday morning in Cincinnati as the result of an accident. Parmer was superintending the construction of a bridge for the Big Four railroad, and in some manner was thrown from the bride, falling under a pile driver, and on a pick, which was sticking in a plank nearby. Parmer is survived by his parents, five brothers ana two sisters.

After discussing, in the opinion, various methods of ascertaining variation, the commission said: “In fixing the tentative values herein, the commission has made no separate allowances for going value or working capital, but has given liberal consideration to these elements of value. "As to these elements, this order is of a temporary character, and separate and final finding is reserved for further consideration. “In using unit costs in excess of fiveyear average until costs to January, 1918, the commission has valued the entire property of petitioner as a going concern and not as non-operative or dead property, and the use of such unit prices results in a value which makes substantial allowance for going concern value and working capital. “The evidence shows that the staff’s

Belgian government bonds have enjoyed a high investment rating. For example, her 3 per cent perpetual bonds sold from 1901 to 1907 to yield not over 3.15 per cent; from 1908 to 1912 to yield not over 4 per cent; and at the present time are selling in Brussels to yield under 5 per cent. The following table shows the yield which the bonds of the present issue will return on the purchase price of per cent, according to the year in which they are drawn for the sinking fund:

appraisals and estimates represent within 6 per cent petitioner’s actual construction costs from 1913 to 1917, inclusive. "The major portion of petitioner’s property having been constructed prior to the high prices of 1916, 1917 and 1918, the staff’s appraisals and estimates result prevailing before 1916. “If the present value of $12,242,000 as determined by this method by the staff be taken as representing the present structural value of petitioner’s property, then, on the basis of the total tentative value found herein there is sufficient margin' for an allowance of more than $3,000,000 for capital and going value. “On the basis of the appraisals of petitioner submitted in 1918, resulting in a present value of $14,335,682, the total tentative value found herein permits an allowance of approximately $1,500,000 for going value and working capital.” Under the head of annual depreciation the commiSsioil said in the report that "with few exceptions, this commission j has followed the policy of allowing an | annual depredation rate of 5 per cent ! for telephone properties. The eornmis- j sion, therefore, will allow a rate of depreciation of 5 per cent annually on the depreciable property of petitioner.” In touching upon the matter of the 414 per cent license revenue, the report said: “The commission holds that th* basis for the payment for rentals of receivers, transmitters and Induction colls owned by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and for other services performed by ( that company is unbusinesslike and unsound. “Witnesses for the petitioner freely admit that there is absolutely no relationship between 4(4 per cent or say per cent of gross revenues and tfce cost or value of the services rendered by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.” > The opinion said further on this subject that “there is no showing that the cost or value of the service performed by the American ‘ Telephone and Telegraph Company is substantially greater now than It was In 1918, although under an allowance of 414 per cent of gross revenues under present rates or the rates

herein granted, the sum which would be paid the American Telephone and Telegraph Company would be greatly In excess of the amount paid in 191S. “There is no detailed or analytical showing of the cost or value of the service rendered by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. “This is especially striking in view of the fact that in practically every other feature of its rate cases, petitioner has displayed superlative keenness for figures and ability at analysis. “The commission can see no reason why this substantial item of expense should not be subjected to the same requirements of proof and analysis as other items of operating expense. “In 1918 the 4% per cent payment made by the Central Union Telephone Company amounted to SI.OB per telephone in Indiana. “The only evidence that the payment in 1918 was a reasonable payment is that the aggregate Os such payment happens to approximate the rental value of transmitters, receivers and induction coils leased by petitioner and directly

V. Marmon hood and fenders are made of aluminum WHEN inspecting a car find out whether the hood and the fenders are made of aluminum or of steel. If the manufacturer is really consistent in his purpose to keep weight down to the minimum, you will find that they are made of aluminum. Everyone knows that aluminum is much lighter than steel. And since hood and fenders are not structural parts, strength is not a factor. But aluminum costs much more. That is why many manufacturers do not use it. The hood and fenders of the New Series Marmon 34 are made of aluminum. They are not only light in themselves but they also do away with the necessity for using heavy brackets, as they are bolted direct to the frame and running board. The policy of light-weight scientific construction introduced in the Marmon 34 four years ago, is consistently adhered to in the New Series Marmon 34.

Chase Out the Germs of Rheumatism

Untold Suffering Caused by Tiny Pain Demons. Just because the pangs of your rheumatism seem to diminish as warm weather approaches, do not make the serious mistake of feeling that you are about to conquer this disabling disease. Under no circumstances should you/ let up in your efforts to combat this affliction, but you would be wise, rather, to redouble them, and take advantage of the favorable season to rout the disease germs from the system.

The best time to successfully combat the germs of Rheumatism is during the mild season while they are less active, and will respond more readily to the right method of treatment.

And this is why you should not lose the opportunity of a thorough, I vigorous course of treatment during the summer months. Many victims of Rheumatism indulge in the delusion that they are at 'ast free l from the clutches of the disease sim- j ply because they feel little or no j discomfort during the mild season. ] But with the first approach of i cool, damp weather next fall, you j will find that the little pain demons j will gradually become aroused from their summer slumbers, ready to rehew their attack with Increased fury. The best time to rid the system of the germs of rheumatism la while they are dormant and inactive, because they are less able to I resist the counteracting influence of ' the proper treatment. \

incidental thereto. “These Instruments are not included in the valuation. “In this case the commission will allow as an operating charge SI.OB per telephone of the type furnished by the Western Electric Company to cover all service of every kind and character rendered by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. “Proper allowance has been made for the necessary instruments carried in stock. In making this allowance, the commission frankly admits that it is without adequate Information upon which it can with certainty arrive at an intelligent conclusion. “However, in the absence of better evidence, since the charge of SI.OS is the amount paid by the Central Union Telephone Company -to the American Telephoe and Telegraph Company in 1918, and is approximately equivalent to a reasonable rental for instrumentalities furnished by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and services In con. neetion therewith, the commission be. lieves this allowance to be reasonable.” The commission, howeve;-, expressed

What, then, is the logical, sane and intelligent treatment for this most painful and torturing disease? Rheumatism is a sturdy foe, and it never uses gentle methods with its victims. If the disease were confined to the surface there might be some logic in expecting relief from its clutches by rubbing with liniments and lotions. But a disease that can cause so much pain and suffering is deep-seated, and has its source far below the surface of the skin. * The only sensible treatment from which you can expect results Is a remedy that goes deep down into the blood supply, and kills the germs that cause the disease. S. S. S. is a wonderful bloud remedy, and is the lygical treatment for Rheumatism, because it promptly permeates the entire blood supply, and searches out and kills the disease germs. You can take S. S. S. with the assurance that you axe not experimenting, for this fine old remedy has been in constant use for more than fifty years, during which time it has been giving splendid results. So you owe it to yourself to take S. S. S. without delay, and discard the use of local treatments that can do you no good.

By eliminating from the system the tiny germs that cause Rheumatism you will be delighted to find that you have at last freed yourself from the shackles of the disease.

Bad Complexions Peeled Off At Home

The girl with the poor complexion complains, “I have to touch up my cheeks. I am sallow and a sight, anil only aiy makeup saves me." Now. as a matter of fact, more women spoil their good looks than improve them with cosmetics. The practice certainly ia unnecessary, now that the virtues of ordinary mercolized wax as a beautifler have become known. It has been found that the wax has wonderful absorbent powers. It causes the faded or discolored scarf skin to flake off in minute, almost imperceptible particles, so gemtly, gradually, ns to cause no inconvenience at all. In this way tb? old complexion is actually removed—likewise all fine lines, freckles, pimples, blotches, moth patches and other surface defects. A new complexion appears—a clear, smooth, youthful, healthy-hued skin such as no rouge, powder or cream can produce, Mercolized wax, to be had at any store In convenient size package, is flSl plied like cold cream and allowed to remain on over night.—Advertisement.
