HOW DOES ALL HER WORK Has No Backache, Noßad Feelings Because Lydia £. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Drove Her Illness Away “I was in a badly run-down condition and I would get weak spells

and terrible headaches. I felt so badly last year that I could not do any house cleaning. The minute I would lift or stoop It seemed as If I was going to fall to pieces. I told a neighbor how I felt and she

said that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was surely the right thing for me. I took four bottles then and in the fall of the year I took three. I had been taking an iron tonic and that did not help me. It seemed that the tonic did not have in it what the Vegetable Comjjound did. That gave me the strength and ambition I needed and I have gained in weight. This year before I started to clean house I got four bottles of the Vegetable Compound and am taking it right along. I tell my friends about it and how much good it does me. They can notice it because 1 have gained in weight- I weigh 118 now and do all my work mvself again.” —Mrs .EMIL O.

BATTLE TO OWN GAS CO. OPENS (Continued From Page 1) terests are anxious to buy a majority of stock, when it Is doubtful if such control would camy with It control of the boards of trustees and directors, was th'' subject of wide speculation. Counter Offensive Launching a counter offensive directors and trustees of the company appealed to the 2,900 stockholders of the company, mostly Indianapolis persons, to hold on to the stock. Safety and profit of the investment and civic pride are urged as reasons for holding. "This company has been free from all attempts at stock j. bbing or manipulation," the statement said, "and the limited dividend rights of the common stock has been one of the features which has given It a strong appeal to public indorsement. This has served to keep it a home company—a citizens’ company.” The statement points out that increased rates granted on 1921 and 1922 have been reduced twice and a further reduction Is promised as soon as possible. Civic Matter "Asa civic matter we trust the character of the company will not be changed,” the statement concludes. “Control by foreign interests might easily become Inimical to the interests of local stockholders and to those of the community." "It looks as if there is a Senegambian in the woodpile somewhere,” an official of a financial house declared. "Here comes outside interests willing to pay $1,600,000 for $1,000,000 worth of stock and not sure whether this stock control carries actual management.” "To me it looks as If It might he a repetatlon of other experiences Indianapolis has had of outside litigation in Fede-al Court and boosted rates.” Payne In Statement Striking back hard at statement of the gas company officials, board of directors and trustees, Gavin L. Payne on behalf of his company issued a. counter statement. “It has been almost four years possibly five, we believe, since the directors of the company have designed to honor their stockholders with a statement. We believe they are entitled to a clean statement of affairs of the company rather than an obfuscating appeal to civic pride," the statement said. Payne said "we are much surprised at this particular Juncture in the Industrial affairs of Indianapolis that the directors are so strenuously opposed to more than $1,500,000 being dumped into Indianapolis by an outside capitalist." Charges Unfairness "The directors should first have been fair enough to have first ascertained who proposed to buy an Interest In the company and what was their object, Instead of launching a diatribe against outside capital generally." Payne said that Cyrus S. Eaton, head of the Otis Company, Is In the city in regard to the proposed purchase. Held for Authorities Aaron Tratner, 26, of 39 N. Jefferson Ave., and Henry Zix, 25, of 1.722 S. Meridian St., were held today for Cincinnati, Ohio authorities, who will take them for trial In Federal Court at Cincinnati, on a conspiracy charge.
