sheet RAILWAYS MUST BECOME FUBLICPBQPERTY Couzens Declares Municipal Ownership Is Only Plan to Solve Growing Demand. FINANCES IS QUESTION Privately Owned Companies Fail to Properly Serve People, Ex-Mayor Says. By LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. —Municipal ownership of street railways everywhere must come if these properties are to properly serve the evergrowing demands of the public. "It is inevitable,” says Senator James Couzens of Michigan, until a few weeks ago mayor of Detroit. Couzens put over the world’s biggest experiment in municipal ownership and operation of street railways. “Aside from the failure of privately owned companies to properly serve the public,” Couzens says, “one of the compelling reasons why municipal ownership must come is the question of finances. No one with an ounce of sense will put any more money into street railway properties. Money for necessary improvements is becoming more scarce. Investors now shun these securities." Auto bus competition does not alarm Couzens, who says: ‘‘The bus will never replace the street car. As b competitor it will continue to grow in importance and it will serve as an adjunct to the companies in the development of surburban and other closer-in feeder communities. “The truth is that the automobile bus. with no right of way charge, with no maintenance of tracks to

150,000 Bottles Sold in Indianapolis One of the Greatest Medical Successes Ever Known THOUSANDS EVERYWHERE ARE BUYING AND PRAISING MENTHO-LAXENE For Coughs and Colds

Mcntho-Latene is needed in every family. Every family can afford to save Three Dollars on Cough Medicine— And a single bottle saves any one Three 'Dollars. Mentho-Laxene is highly concentrated, pure medic nea, and mixed at home —with sugar syrup, or strained honey, makes a great big Full Pint of Cough Syrup the most pleasant, most efficient, most prompt that can be obtained. Quick Relief Experienced Surprises Everybody Tne very fit dose relieves: and repeated, it soothes, penetrates, and heals, with volatile vapors, the tender, Inflamed and “raw” mucus membrane of the nostrils, throat, bronchial tubes and delicate air passages. while the laxative, purifying antiseptic qualities enter the system through the stomach. bowel3, and blood, and loosen up the phlegm secretions, and drive from the body the foul corruption and waste matters that clog the system, whenever you catch cold This DOUBLE ACTION MEDICINE goes right to The root of the trouble. It not only checks a cold, it not only is the quickest acting, "best cough syrup—but it is a system cleanser and tonic —laxative —and that is why it has so many loyal patrons and grateful friends. Mentho-Laxene eliminates the conditions that permit colds, distressing. painful coughs, disgusting catarrh, with its attendant headache, hoarseness, tickling in throat, clogged nostrils, and other mild but unhealthy symptoms of congestion. Mentho-Laxene has a “double action" -for it relieves congestion of colds and aids in elimination of destructive toxins from the system. Non-tubercular people who have endured chronic bronchial coughs for years, and who have tried “this, that and the other remedy” In vain, have received benefits from Mentho-Laxene in a few days and have fully regained their normal condition after a few weeks’ use of this fine, quick acting, pure medicine. BE KiND TO YOURSELF—by reading the testimony of grateful citizens Be kind and good to your children by learning what other mothers and fathers have learned—that Mentho-Laxene has saved their little ones from suffering, and perhaps from croup, fever, pneumonia, and chronic lung trouble. Every letter published is voluntary—and not a cent has ever been paid for a single one. They are the outpourings of grateful hearts, charitable hearts, too. because they want others to get the help and health that they have gotten through Mentho-Laxeae. REWARD:—The Blackburn Products Cos. hereby offer a Reward of SI,OOO if every letter published is not the genuine unsolicited expression of the users of their medicine, given without pay of any kind.

pay for, including paving between and on the side of tne tracks, and with no expensive power plants to | maintain, can’t haul the passengers j as cheaply us an electric car. Neither can the buss haul the volume of j passengers." An unfair charge now being assessed against the street car rider, in Senator Couzens’ opinion, is the cost of paving between street car j tracks. “This condition is no longer I justified,” he says. "It is a relic of ' the early days of horse cars. Then j the horses unquestionably helped to wear out the pavements, but they don’t any more. Automobiles do now."
