It is certain that the greatest thing in all the world is 1-ealtb; without it a man can scarcely do anything worth doing; he can accomplish little that Is really worth accomplishing. Attention to healt' then should take the place of every other object That which Is necessary to secure it should receive consideration in preference to everything else. Vln Hepatlca. the new herbal system tonic, is bringing health to thousands and is gaining big following here, where grateful people .are. daily testifying to its merits and recommending it to their friends. The following Indorsement recently received from Mr. A. J. Eyler, a traveling salesman, residing at 22 Sycamore street, Dayton, speaks for itself. He says: "I suffered from stomach trouble for some weeks. After eating I had severe attacks of indigestion, and felt distressed. I tried numerous remedies, but failed to get relief. I got a bottle of Vln Hepatica, which had been recommended to me by a friend and after taking a few doses I noticed a big improvement in my condition. My btomach pains gradually disappeared; I ceased to suffer from indigestion, and began to feel like my natural self. I continued taking Vin Hepatlca for several days and am now perfectly v eil and have no further trouble! I consider Vin Hepatica a splendid medincine, and highly recommend it to anyone suffering as I did." ' . The object of Vin Hepatica is to relieve the stomach of its burden, thereby giving it an opportunity to regain its normal strength. Vln Hepatica tones up, strengthens, and revitalizes the entire system; restores the lost rower of digestion, acts on the liver and kidneys and banishes rheumatism from the blood. Vin Hepatica is now being demon strated at Clem Thistlethwaite's drug store, 914 Main street, where a representative will meet all . callers and courteously answer all inquiries. Adv.

BOND GUTS Continued From Page One. gesting, however, that the commission might strike it out if it. saw fit. Duncan continued to press the mat ter and finally Bond offered to strike out the paragraph with the ' record showing that it 'was at the request of the commission. The paragraph which Chairman Duncan considered offensive and as having no legal bearing on the case reads as follows : "So far as within the knowledge of the said 'city this commission has never reduced the rates charged for services by any public utility, over its objection and protest, without having first fixed the value of its property, used and useful, in serving the public, and the fair and reasonable operating expenses and the fair rate of return to which such utility is entitled, and we contend that this is the proper and fair course to be pursued and that the same method and rule should be followed in favor of the public as have uniformly been applied in favor of the utilities." ; v'v "Wbat was your reason as a lawyer for Inserting that paragraph?" inquired Chairman Duncan. -.- , "Well, I used that language; to call .

attention to the precedents which have been established by this commission and also because of a recent informal statement of Judge McClure of this commission," replied Bond. Commissioner McClure denied that
m9 ever bad many any statement which might Justify Bond's conclusion. He said that it probably is true that this is x the first time the commission has been asked to grant a conditional increased rate but, he said, the commission' repeatedly has made changes in rates - of ' utilities without having first fixed a valuation. Mr. Bond said that he does not contend that the commission does not have the right- to change rates without fixing a valuation, but he insisted that he recalled that Commissioner McClure had said that the commission never had reduced rates over the objection of a utility without first fixing a valuation. "I don't think that as a lawyer you should have inserted that paragraph. This is a law suit and that paragraph could not properly have any bearing on this case," insisted Chairman Duncan. "I'll strike it "out at the request of the commission," said Bond finally, and the incident was closed. Besides urging that the commission has no legal right to grant a conditional Increase in rate's, Bond urged that the company is weighed down by debts far in excess of the value of that portion of its property which is used and useful to the public and that the present gas rates are not responsible for this condition. - He said the company on engaging in the natural gas business in 1913 installed stoves and other apparatus at greatly reduced rates to encourage citizens to use gas, and he protested against this expense being charged to the company's operating expense account and being made a

part of the basis for increased rates. He said the company could have saved $15,000 wWch it has charged to operating expense. By, providing a reasonable rate and supplying apparatus at reduced rates the company induced most of the citizens of Richmond, Bond said, to become natural gas consumers, and he contended that citizens had gone to the expense of buying stoves, etc., on assumption that rates would not be boosted. He said it was especially unfair for rates to be increased in the winter season. Bond also insisted that proposed increase discriminates against the small consumer, in that the proposed new schedule provides an increase of 75 per cent in rate to be paid for domestic purposes and a rate lower than the present one for the large consumers. Attorney John T. Beasle? of Terre Haute, made the opening statement for the company. He said that it U true the company has securities of an unusually large amount, but he contended that the company's history was an unusual one and that it had not been able to avoid big expenses. "I think it Is conservative to say that there is no case in the state like this one," saidMr. Beasley in outlining the company's history. ' He told how it first was organized to sell artificial gas, how the discov-
