REPORT CRITICISES IND. STATE FARM Health Officer Calls Conditions Insanitary, Sharp criticism of the condition of buildings at the State Farm at Putnamville and the resultant lack of sanitation Is contained in a report by Dr. William F. King, secretary of the State board of health, to Governor McCray. A survey of sanitary conditions at the farm was ordered by the Governor a few days ago, when 188 prisoners were taken ill suddenly. The immediate cause was attributed to a bacterial infection from separated milk. Although the Governor has not had time to study the report carefully, it is understood he has given serious consideration to a recommendation that the institution provide a full-time physician. At present, a Putnam County doctor is employed at a salary not sufficient to justify his giving his entire time. The need of an expert or sanitation also is emphasized in the report. Governor McCray said the survey was another pro/Tf that buildings of such character should be of substan tial construction, and not of the barlack type, which deteriorates In a few years.

INVESTMENT BASIS OF ILLINOIS BATES (Continued From Page 1) States Supreme Court that actual investment should be given serious consideration in arriving at a valuation. Basic Value Stands The importance of these facts is emphasized when it is understood rates are based almost entirely on valuations. "The Illinois commission believes Justice Brandeis' dissenting opinion is the best formula for arriving at fair valuations." an offleial of the commission said. "We believe other commissions and the Supreme Court itself will come to It before long. "The Illinois commission does not attempt to make a valuation every time a utility asks for increased rates. In most cases, It makes only one basic valuation and then adds additions and betterments, less depreciation. Investment value always Is given great weight when making these basic valuations. When we get a basic value, the making of rates becomes virtually automatic.” Rate-making in Indiana Is far from Beauty Os Sin And Hair Preserved By Gtlicura Use Cuticura Soap for daily toilet purposes, with touches of Cuticura Ointment as needed, and have fresh, clear skin and thick, glossy hair.

"virtually automatic." In 1917 the publis service commission valued the Indianapolis Water Company property at $9,500,000. Early this year It valued It at more than $16,000,000. Now It Is attempting to find another valuation for rate-making purposes. The practice of the Illinois commission follows closely the contentions of the city of Indiananpolis In the water rate case. The city is insisting that investment value be given great, consideration and that the 1917 valuation be used with improvements made since then aded. These are the practice of the Ilinois commission. And rates in Illinois are being reduced. not Increased. Lower Rate Still Sought Efforts of Indiana farmers to obtain lower freight rates on ground limestone will be continued, W. H.

We have now settled down to the slow gradual and. we hope, uninterrupted process of rebuilding the exhausted system of our patleht.

dent remains subject to any complica- • tlons. Facing the almost certain prospect that some slight complications would occur, the doctors all said it would be the height of absurdity for tliem to try to set a date when it would be safe to move Mr. Harding to Washington. They were impatient over a published report he might leave San Francisco on Sunday. ' Mr. Harding is resigned to a slow convalescence and is giving his doctors the assistance of his patience. He makes no complaint; indeed be feels he has been fortunate. Sawyer said, in "coming safely through a very severe stortn." The sick room program from today will be the routine of any convalescent who must be watched closely to guard against setbacks. The physicians have a definite task, which is divided into several parts. These include: 1 Building up of the President’s strength by increasing the power of his enfeebled digestive apparatus.

2. Keeping the system at work throwing off poisons. 3. Insuring the patient a maximum of rest and comfort, so this exhausted state will be brought to an end. Vitality Is Weakened The first attempt yesterday to increase Mr. Harding's daily food quota by giving him two eggs instead of one caused him some distress. The elimination of poisons continued satisfactory. The exhaustion symptom persisted. but that will be the case for sometime. Sawyer said, because the President had touched the very bottom of his reservoir of vitality. Temperature became normal, showing the “fever fires are out,” Sawyer said. Breathing and pulse were less rapid. The President will not be permitted to receive visitors today nor for some days to come. General Pershing called last night, but saw only Sawyer and Mrs. Harding. The President's sister, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg of Santa Ana, Cal., remained in town today and Attorney General Daugherty also was an early caller.
