MOVES AGAINST UTILITY MERGER CALLED FUTILE Civic or Labor Resolutions Bear No Weight, Says Commissioner Ellis. Resolutions adopted by civic clubs, labor groups or other organized citizenry can have no effect on the fate of the proposed $70,000,000 Insull utilities merger, it was pointed out by Commissioner Howell Ellis of the public service commission today. Ellis is in charge of the merger petition hearings which will be resumed next Monday. “Public service commissioners j must function according to law." i Ellis asserted. "Although this case is of great magnitude and will affect much of the state's population, outside of Indianapolis, it must be heard and decided in exactly the same manner as others. Solely on Facts “Evidence of both the utility and commission engineers has been introduced and more will be heard Monday It is on the facts in the case that the decision must be made and not on popular prejudice either for or against the merger. “It is rather an unusual thing that the present protests are coming from Indianapolis, where none of the utilities are involved in th 6 merger. It might lead to the conclusion that they are inspired.” j Later Withdrawn The inspirational character of j some of the recent petitions was I demonstrated when a petition was | filed, several days after it appeared in print, and later was withdrawn j

Going Thru Happiest Days of Her Life

“Why shouldn’t I smile,” says Mrs. Anna Nebeker, of 1449 East 77th St. Chicago, who is a w ell known Eastern Star, ‘‘when I finally found that I can be free from the trouble T suffered from a sour stomach, by simply taking that marvelously pleasant new- medicine called Acidine. It has cleared up the rash on my skin, and I have more pep than I need, now.” Not more than one person in a hundred has a stomach so perfect that it needs no help to digest the starchy food>and sweets, which make stomachs sour. It’s these excessive acids which thin theblood, lower your energy and cause skin rash. The first signs of too much acid are sick stomach, indigestion, burning sensation in throat., gassy belching. Try Acidine just once and you will see why more than two million people depend on it. Get it at any drug store.
