If you knew what ageing in wood does for pipe tobacco Even the finest Kentucky Burley Tobacco (and that's the kind we use) is green and raw when it’s pulled. You could hardly smoke one pipe load of it. And here’s where Velvet is different: Our ageing takes out that rawness and harshness, and makes the tobacco mild and mellow and gives it fine flavor. Ageing in wood does what no artificial treatment can do. Remember —Velvet Tobacco, aged in wood. tinocrr A Muni Tona<

Commercial Lighting Rates Here are Cheaper Than in Oilier Cities

Yesterday there appeared in this paper a comparison of Residence Lighting Rates in Indianapolis with those prevailing in Detroit. The Reason was that some ofie had said that Detroiters got cheaper Residence Lighting Rates than do the Citizens of Indianapolis. * The same statement was made about Commercial Lighting Rates in the Two Cities. A comparison of the Results of Rates for Commercial Lighting in the Two Cities does not show this to be the case. A difference between the practice in the two cities is that in Detroit certain classes of lamps are renewed Free of Charge, which is not the case in Indianapolis. In the long run, this difference m not important. A Commercial Light customer, using 1,250 Kilowatt hours per month, or 50 hours for each business day, would pay a demand and energy rate in Detroit for this Service, amounting to $48.60, net, per month. The same service in Indianapolis costs Fortyseven Dollars and Twenty-six Cents, net, or Two and Seven-tenths Per Cent Less. A Customer using 100 kilowatt hours per day, or 2,500 kilowatt hours per month, would pay a demand and energy rate in Detroit of $97.20, net, ‘per month. In Indianapolis the same service costs Eightyeight Dollars and Eighty-two Cents, net, or Eight and Six-tenths Per Cent Less. A Customer using Five Thousand Kilowatt Hours per month, or Two Hundred Kilowatt Hours per day—and this is the class in which the average commercial lighting customer comes—would pay under the Detroit rate, $194.40 per month, net. Under the Indianapolis rate this same service costs One Hundred and Sixty-seven Dollars and Twenty Cents, net, per month; or Thirteen and Seven-tenths Per Cent Less.

There are commercial lighting customers in Indianapolis whose demands average 500 Kilowatt Hours per day, or 12,500 hours per month. Under the Detroit rate each of such customers would pay $486 per month, net. Under the Indianapolis rate they pay Three Hundred and Sixty six Dollars and Seventy Cents, net, or nearly Twenty five Per Cent Less. There are other great shopkeepers in this city whose current demand average 25,000 Kilowatt Hours in the month. Under the Detroit rate, this service would cost $972 net, per month. The actual cost of the same service in Indianapolis is Six Hundred and Seventy five Dollars and Forty five Cents, net, a difference in favor of this city of a trifle more than Thirty Per Cent. The Commercial Lighting Customer in Indianapolis who uses 5u,000 Kilowatt Hours per month and there are several—would pay for this service, under the Detroit rate, $1,944 per month, net. In this city the service costs him Twelve Hundred and Ninety-two Dollars and Ninety-five Cents, a difference in favor of Indianapolis of more than Thirty-three Per Cent. The price of Service to the Public in each of these cities is based upon the cost of rendering the service, with a reasonable return upon the Capital invested. In the one city, Indianapolis, the conditions for economical use of Electricity for commercial lighting seem to be more favorable than in the*, other. At any rate, two conclusions are evident. The first is that Indianapolis users of Electricity for Commercial Lighting can get more for their Dollars here, at home. The other is that the Lessened Cost of Doing Business here is reflected in Lower Prices for Commodities sold by our Merchants, and a Lower Cost of Living in this city. The latter is the reason why Favorable Conditions in this City Interest Everybody.

Illinois Central System Is Proud of Its Courteous Employes * x The employes of the Illinois Central System strive to give thoughtful consideration to the rights, comforts and conveniences of the patrons of the road. The quality of courtesy which is found among employes of this railroad has very properly impressed the public with its genuineness. It is not assumed or superficial. It is not a matter of expediency' a policy adopted to curry favor. The courtesy of Illinois Central System employes is whole-souled and sincere. It is broad and deep and genuine. It has that dignity which attends all right actions. This thoughtful spirit on the part of Illinois Central System employes is due to their ready acceptance of the fact that real service includes more than mere mechanical and methodical performance of a stated duty. True service goes beyond cold, dispassionate precision. It contains human understanding, appreciation of the other person’s viewpoint, anticipation of his feelings and desires, sympathetic regard for his welfare and an intent to gain and return his good will. The Illinois Central System is proud of its efficient, loyal and courteous employes, who have contributed so largely to this road’s prestige as a dependable transportation utility. It gives them the fullest measure of credit for the growth of the'company’s business. Fine roadbed, modern locomotives, latest all-steel cars, highest class dining service, club, library and parlor-observation cars, block signals, ontime train performance—these arc all familiar details appreciated by travelers on the Illinois Central System. , Our passenger service, however, is not the only department where high quality efficiency is our aim. The same kind of practice is observed in our freight service. But more mportant even than these factors is the spirit of thoughtful intercsßon the part of employes. Illinois Central System employes are of the highest type. They have an eanc-st intent to please, to insure the patron’s individual approval, to anticipate and provide for the patron’s needs or wishes—in short, the will t< prove the high quality of service which this railroad endeavors to render. We are happy to offer our passenger and freight service to all who desire the use of transportation in the territory served by our lines. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.
