Fighting the Gas Rate Increase. The petition of the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company before the state public utilities commission, asking for an increase in gas rates, effective February 15, must be fought by the city administration and the citizens of Richmond. The city officials have indicated their determination to oppose the proposal with all the weapons at their command. They need the support of the citizens and of the civic organizations of Richmond. The hearing is set for February 7 at Indianapolis. On this day, a strong delegation of Richmond citizens ought accompany the city officials to Indianapolis and appear before the commission as an indication that Richmond will not tolerate an increase in the price of the gas utility. The commission must be given to understand that the whole city is backing the administration in its fight against an increase in the gas rates. The most effective way of showing their civic determination is a large representation of citizens at the hearing. Members of the city administration claim that certain items have been added to the cost of operation in its effort to show that an increased rate is necessary to meet expenses. City officials ought use the utmost diligence in ascertaining these facts and presenting them to the commission as an argument against the increase. When the present company took over the nat

ural gas contract it was expressly stipulated that there should be no increase in the rates. The city must insist that the company abide by its contract. Citizens cannot afford the increased rates demanded by the company. Concerted action to defend the new rates is possible by sending a large representation to Indianapolis on February 7.

ing into the Congressional record some thousands of words about the beauties of peace, followed them with a bill to extend indefinitely the money to be spent on an, arsenal in his district. Of the other members, Representative Dale of New York, who looks out for the New York Navy Yard, has bills before the Naval Committee which carry $25,000,000. He wants an armor plate plant at the New York Navy Yards, a dry dock and equipment for building dreadnoughts, and a big experimental laboratory for the use of the Advisory Board of the Navy. Representative Vare, of Pennsylvania, wants an iron foundry, a dry-dock and a research laboratory at the League Island Yard. Representative Humphrey, of Washington, who has belabored Democratic extravagance almost daily for three years, wants a drydock and building ways, and an aviation school to cost $2,000,000, on Puget Sound.

Pacifists and Pork. That some members of Congress are insincere or at least self -contradictory, in their support of the pacifist program, is apparent from Washington dispatches which disclose that many congressmen while talking for peace are actively pushing bills for the establishment of arsenals and munition plairi'3 in their respective districts. The total demanded for this purpose in bills now pending committee action amounts to between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000. The pacifists of the House have not been backward in this regard. Representative Sherwood, of Ohio, after making an impassioned plea for peace and lambasting the preparedness demands to such an extent that he was congratulated by William Jennings Bryan, asked for $5,000,000. He wanted the money spent to build a munitions plant at Toledo, 0., the center of his district. Representative Cox, of Indiana, after inject-

Health Figures. Business men at stated periods make an inventory of their holdings ; sometimes they make a survey of their establishments to find out just how they stand. The Indiana state board of health sends out a bulletin each month which reviews the health conditions of the state and tells what has been done to conserve the public health. The state has been watching the food supply closely. Its summary of November, just received, shows what the health authorities are doing to prevent disease and keep us well. It follows : During the month of November the inspectors visited 69 cities and towns and made 1377 sanitary inspections of food-producing establishments.' Of this number 9 places were rated excellent, 785 good, 494 fair, 49 poor and 40 bad. Eighty-three dairies were visited. Of this number 19 were rated good, 19 fair, 12 poor and 33 bad. Of the 453 grocery stores inspected 4 were rated excellent, 276 good, 261 fair and 12 poor. One hundred and ninety-six meat markets were visited during the month. One hundred and

twenty-eight of this number were classed as good 61 fair and 7 poor. Of the 148 drug stores visited 1 was rated excellent, 116 good, 30 fair and 1 poor. One hundred and ninety-two bakeries and confectioneries were inspected. Three were rated excellent, 127 good, 95 fair, 1 poor and 2 bad. Of the 141 hotels and rastaurants visited 55 were rated good, 74 fair, 7 poor and 5 bad. Of the 9 ice cream parlors visited 1 was rated good and 8 fair. Six slaughter houses were visited. Three were rated good and 3 fair. Other inspections were made of cremeries, milk depots, ice cream factories, bottling works, produce houses, poultry houses, flour mills, saloons, etc. Seventy condemnation notices were issued during the month because of improper construction of the buildings and for unsanitary conditions. Five prosecutions were brought during the month for violation of the Pure Food and Sanitary Food Law. Two cases were filed for the sale of dirty milk, another for transferring milk in the dusty street. One dtealer was fined for maintaining an unsanitary grocery and meat market. Another for maintaining an unsanitary restaurant. The total fines and costs amounted to $106.

SURPRISED

OF U. S

l'.KRLIX, Feb. 2 News of unexpected developments In the Lusitanla negotiations that threaten their failure, reached the lierlin public today for the first time. It has been generally supposed that all danger of a crisis between America and Germany lias been averted by the Berlin offer of reparation for the loss of American Uvea, and therefore great surprise was caused when It became known that the diplomatic tension had again become acute. "Geimany will yield but little more" was the emphatic assertion made by a prominent German official to the International News Service today. "There is u limit beyond which Germany cannot go." Germany's Stand. , This is the German view of the Lusitania situation, secured from an official source. 1. Germany granted the demands of the United States for reparation for American- lives lost when the liner was destroyed. 2. Germany has accepted the American idea of submarine warfare and is following it in practice as well as in theory. 3. While Germany granted the demand for reparation for American livevs it is astonished by the demand of the United States that the destruction of the liner be disavowed. 4. Germany hopes that the United States will not press the demand for a disavowal. President Wilson's declaration that "the United States must be prepared for war tomorrow not the day after

tomorrow but tomorrow," Is taken here to have a bearing on the Lusitania situation.

A N U R I C ! The Newest Discovery i Chemistry.

This Is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who Is head of the Invalids' ,Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's

hospital for several years proved that jthere Is no other eliminator of nric acid that can be compared to It. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation as backache, scalding jurine and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if us acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surefly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the Joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accompany the disease rapHdly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50-cent package of

"Anuric" manufactured by Dr. Pierce,' or eve li write Dr. Pierce for a large trial rnckege (10 cents). If you suspect ISdney or bladder trouble, send him a ,' sample of your water and describe nymptoms. Dr. Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you without fee or charge, j Naf E "Anuric" Is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in ellml-j i a tin 4 uric acid, and is a harmless but relialjle chemical compound that may be steely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actu-! ally 'Jrlsh to restore their kidneys to perf'iht health, by conscientiously using iae box or more In extreme cases as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor Pleijae's achievement) is by far the morit, perfect kidney and bladder correc 14 r.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2. With the crest of White river already reached and the Wabash near that point flood conditions in the central portion of Indiana were not nearly so. alarming today but in the southern part of the state there still is great danger. The hardest fight ever waged against a flood in Indianapolis has saved many homes on the west side of this city. The new flood wall, though unfinished, kept the waters back from the section which suffered most in 1913. Portions of the incompleted levee were reinforced with temporary walls by a great gang of workmen. White river and Fall creek went through the levees at several weak spots and portions of the city are under water but the damage will be

slight and little Buffering has been re

ported.

With a cold, clear sky today it was

thought the river would recede swift

ly.

Martinsville and Garden City, south of Indianapolis, were hard hit: Four hundred houses have been flooded and 1,000 persons are being cared for by

the city. The Chamber of Commerce

has been serving lunch to the homeless: Water backed up against the Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Gar

den City and flooded the town.
