'e and depreciation for fifty cents per ; 1,000 feet, and that on a net rate of 'Beventy-tbree cents per 1,000, the com

pany could make all expenses and ! realize 6 per cent on a fair per cent capitalization. The company, by its ! proposition has admitted that it can jfurnish gas at seventy-five cents in large quantities at a profit. It ought (to do so according to its own standlards to all our citizens. Profits Too Great, j "But the standard of profits is un

reasonably high. In Indianapolis the

report in 1910 shows that the Consumers' Gas company supplied only 6,500 consumers and had only 360 miles of pipes, yet it furnished gas for sixty cents per thousand to people of

that city. In Toledo gas is furnished at still lower rates. In Passaic, N. J.,

when It. was found that the common

i council was about to close a contraT.

at fifty cents per thousand with the former mayor Andrew McClean, the United Gas Improvement company offered the same rate and agreed to pay in addition, $20,000 to the city for seventeen years, $20,000 to each of the hospitals, $28,000 for a new school and to the Fireman's and Policeman's

Relief fund, $10,000 each. According to

the report of the American council in Birmingham, England, the city gas department of that city, w hich is operating it as a public utility made three

reductions in the price of gas within

four years, the last reduction being in 1911 from fifty-three to forty-six cents per thousand for a quarterly consumption "of less than 50,000 feet; to 42

ents between 50,000 and 250,000 feet

"jto 38 cents from 250,000 to 1,000,000 ifeet; to 36 cents for a consumption between, 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 feet, and 1or each additional million a reduction of two cents until a minimum rate of twenty-four cents is reached. For manufacturing and motive power the reduction was 'from sixty-six to thirtytvo cents: for a quarterly consumption of 1,000,000 feet or less and so it was graduated until a minimum of twenty-four cents was reached and all these prices were subject to reduction of five per cent for prompt payment. Oppose Long Contract. "It will be seen from these figures what enormous profits can be realized by gas companies when properly managed. It is to be hoped that our city government will not think of entering Into a new contract for a long term with the Light, Heat and Power company on any such terms as proposed. It Is better to submit to their extortionate charges a few years longer Hinder their present franchise than to tie up the future of our city by such an Improvident contract. "It is to be hoped that within the next few years a change in the laws and constitution of Indiana will permit jthe condemnation and acquisition of a

public utility like this by our city and its operation by the municipality for

the benefit of the citizens and we

.ought not to forestall any such ac-

rtion by making a contract which canmot be revoked and which would de-

Finally Causes Baldness. Kill the Germ and Save Your hair. Newbro's Herpicide Will Do It. Did you ever try to discover a reason for the dying of a valuable plant? You perhaps found that life was destroyed by ' some insect or parasite working about the roots and sapping away the elements which go to support plant life. The dandruff germ exercisea the same destructive influence upon the life of the hair. It forces its way down the folicle around the hair bulb and thus prevents the hair from getting proper nourishment. The hair dies and drops out. N'ewbro's Herpicide prevents this by killing the germ. It also frees the scalp from the accumulations of dirt and scarf skin. With the removal of these obstacles to a clean, healthy scalp, the hair will grow naturally and luxuriantly. Herpicide is known as the Original Dandruff Germ Destroyer. One dollar size bottles are sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications may be obtained at the better barber shops and hair dressing parlors. Send 10c in postage or silver to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R... Detroit, Mich.,

prive the city of all power of acquiring this plant. We commend the action of the city council and its resolution to take no action upon the gas franchise until the water works question shall be first decided. The contract with the water works company will expire first, the negotiation for the renewal of that franchise were first commenced and we insist that the question ought to be first determined before the gas question is considered by our city government. Condemn Street Cars. Believing that the cars operated over the streets of our city are not in keeping with the progress of the city; that they are not substantial in their build; that they are not clean or sanitary; that they are inadequate in size; that they are in poor repair; that they are unsightly in appearance; that they do not protect against rain; that they bring unkind criticism to our city; that they reflect discreditably on our city improvements: Therefore, we strongly condemn the use of such cars over our streets and respectfully call upon the city government to require the T. H., I. & E. Traction company to give heed to the general complaint and dissatisfaction caused by their poor cars and displace these old worn out cars with some that will be a credit to our city and the traction company and will comply with the terms of the franchise under which the said company is operating."

"I think women should vote," said May Irwin to a representative of the Palladium this morning. "Certainly they should have the full franchise," continued the famous comedienne. "If these ignorant foreigners, who can neither read nor write and have no conception of the fundamentals of our government have the unrestricted ballot, then why shouldn't educated, intelligent women who own property have a right to express their preferences in the management of public, affairs." "Not," said Miss Irwin, "that I believe in unrestricted franchise for either sex. I believe in an educational qualification. Every man or woman who votes should be able to read or write. "But when it comes to a matter of the full franchise for one sex as against another, then both men and women should have equal voting privileges, whether restricted or unrestricted. "And I do not believe in a property qualification alone for women," stated Miss Irwin. "Many educated and brilliant women who do not own property are far more capable of expressing themselves wisely through the ballot than the average man.

"But assuredly the women who do pay taxes should have some voice in their adjustment. Here am I. I pay enormous taxes in New York and yet I have absolutely no say as to their disposition. "No," reiterated Miss Irwin emphatically, "women should have equal

franchise with men." In reply to a question as to whether or not she thought men really were in favor of woman's suffrage, Miss Irwin said: "Sometimes I think they may be a little afraid of us. Afraid that we may want to throw light too strongly on dark places. Uncover graft and straighten out the crooked lines. "Still it is true that I have been surprised at the chainge of sentiment in the attitude of men toward this question within the past few years. "I've always believed in women voting. "And therefore I have tested the sentiment in my travels over the country and have found recently that almost invariably men are now favorable to giving women equal suffrage with themselves. "I've asked hotel men and stage

j hands and I've found the sentiment for

it practically universal. "Not long ago one of the attaches of a theatre in -which I was playing responded to ray query as to whether or not he believed in woman's suffrage by saying '"My wife knows more about politics than I do. I always vote as 6he advises.' "I remember," continued Miss Irwin laughing, " a poem I had years ago about seven sons and how they always voted as 'mother told them to. I wish I had it now. It would fit in finely.

"I'm a great admirer of Woodrow Wilson," went on Miss Irwin, "and I was very sorry to read a little article from him the other day in which he stated he was against women's suffrage. "I think," she continued whimsically, "if I could sit out an argument with Mr. Wilson I could convince him that he was wrong." "Why I've been looking after myself and a lot of other people, too, ever since I was eleven years old," said Miss Irwin. "And certainly am as capable of knowing what I want and what I think the country needs as most men I know or don't know." she added. Miss Irwin stated that she was recently in Detroit for a week and was much interested in the political agitation there which has recently culminated in a bill put through the legislature and signed by the governor giving the people of Michigan a right to vote on an amendment to the constitution of

that state giving women the franchise.

"Its a right of citizenship," stated Miss Irwin, "that will be possessed by every woman in the country in a comparatively short time."

Miss Irwin is a woman of wealth and owns an entire island in the Thousand Isles where she has a beautiful country home and where she raises pedigreed cattle and chickens- She at once asked for the names of any chicken fanciers in Richmond, stating that she

had a lot of blue ribbon fowls, some red and yellow- or two, opining that perhaps the latter were suffrare chickens. Mies Irwin is one of the five women members of the American Jersey Cattle club and is closing her season a week or two earlier than she intended in order to attend the annual meeting and banquet and the opening of their new club-house in New York City. This is a national organization of 468 members and its entrance qualifications are of the most rigid character. Miss Irwin, who appears at the Gennett this evening, is a woman of the most delightful personality, honest, whole-souled, sincere. There is nothing half and half about the celebrated actress. She is decided in both convic

tions and manner of expressing them. A splendid type of woman. "At the banquet of the club," said Miss Irwin, "I intend to say a word for

suffrage If I am called on and bo' uncertain word. And that she will be called on there is no question- r

proof of its popularity. But you do not have to take anybody's word for ittry it yourself on an absolute guar

Clara T.: Yen, a genuine hair-grow-,-er has been found at last. Keep the ,scalp clean by frequently shampooing with canthrox and rub into the scalp .twice a week a tonic made by dissolving an ounce of quinzoin in pint alcohol, then adding pint cold water. This excellent remedy refreshes the ecalp and makes the hair bright and glossy. It stimulates the hair-roots and keeps the hair in a healthy, growing condition. For dandruff, itching .scalp and falling hair, you will find ithis remedy unequalled.

M. C. J.: Those light, faded patches in your hair are the result of shampooing with soap. The free alkali in soap and many shampoo preparations causes the hair to fade, split, become dull, brittle and fall out. To get away from all these troubles, shampoo with a teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water. After rinsing, your hair will dry quickly and evenly, and be so lustrous and fluffy that you will find it will do up nicely and appear quite beautiful and abundant. This shampoo is the best scalpcleanser of which I know and you will no longer be bothered with dandruff and itching scalp. Practically all firstclass hair-dressers use this wonderful shampoo.

Mame G.: Vaseline will not grow Tair. Rub a little pyroxin on eyebrows with forefinger and they will grow thick and silky. If your lashes are stubby and thin, apply the pyroxin to lash-roots with thumb and forefinger. This makes them grow long and curly, but be careful and don't get any where lialr is not wanted.

Nathalie: I would not encourage you to use face powder as it rubs off

, too easily and shows too readily. To j make an excellent beautifier and whit- ; ener, dissolve 4 ounces spurmax in H ' pint witch hazel (or hot water) then i add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. The use of this lotion will take away that i coarse, sallow, oily look to your skin

and make it soft, pink and beautiful. This splendid lotion is used by many society women who prize their good looks as powder will ruin any complexion in time. It is very fine for cold sores, 'freckles and to prevent chapping.

May: Pulling the hairs out by the Toots is both painful and dangerous. Try this simple method and you will l)e delighted with the result: Make a paste with a little powdered delatone and water, spread thickly on hairy surface and after two or three minutes remove and wash the skin. Mrs. H. T.: If you want a firstjdaes tonic for family use to purify the.

Ellen O.: The "dope" you are using will never make your red, smarting eyes strong and clear. If you will get an ounce of crystos, dissolve it in a pint of water and put a few drops in each eye daily, you will soon have clear, sparkling, strong eyes. This tonic is very soothing and strengthening to weak, tired eyes and greatly aids those who wear glasses. It is unsurpassed for treating granulated lids and as a dependable, strengthening

tonic for weak eyes.

This is true literally and figuratively when we speak of the CHALLENGE Refrigerator or Ice-Box

It is the box for the poor man for many reasons. On account of the conveniences for cleaning it is more apt to be kept clean. No hooks for holding ice receptacle, to hold sediment. The ice receptacle is "removable and the ice man cannot damage walls of refrigerator as he cannot touch the walls when pan or ice receptacle is in place. No side walls of wood in refrigerator, but the best ot genuine zinc lining. The Challenge is built up of three walls with a dead air division, making the most successful non conductor of heat and cold. An outer wall consists of the best grade of seasoned hardwood; the inner wall of extra heavy zinc, and the middle wall of the Challenge Refrigerator Cos own manufacture of mineral felt, guaranteed not to pack or settle. This box can be attached direct to sewer without gases rising into it as each box has an automatic trap preventative. This makes it very convenient as no drip pan has to be emptied. The inside shelves are all sliding metal, aluminum covered. No chance for insanitation inside or out, as all the outside joints are round.
