The company in its report contends the value of its plant is f 1,020.435.61, in which it includes organization value of $53,328.72, a franchise value of $110,825.60, and license value of $25,494.02. The report shows during last year the revenues of the Richmond company amounted to $95,445.07. the net income amounted to $44,282.21, and the deficit for the year amounted to $4,342.79 ater dividends and interest on bonded Indebtedness was paid. These figures do not include the additions made to the plant. To meet interest on this new Investment an additional sum must be taken into account, making the total deficit in excess of $7,000. The operating revenues of the Anderson plant amounted to only $38,049.91 and the net Income to $14,500.19 but there were no dividends or interest to be paid and the entire fund became the property of the city. The value of the plant in Anderson is fixed at $411,438.40. v - : : . , A. It Is in comparison cf the rates that Richmond suffers most for while the small consumer is paying 20 cents for each 1,000 gallons of water in Richmond, in Anderson he is paying only 12 cents,' and the large consumer in Richmond pays more than 5 cents for each 1,000 gallons of water and in Anderson he pays only 4 cents. In other words, the report shows in Anderson, with a much less consumption and with much lower rates, the net Income to' the plant was slightly more than 3 per cent.. of the contended value of the plant and in Richmond, with higher rates and larger consumption and a private plant, the Income was Just about 3 per cent, of the contended valuation. Members of the commission staff of engineers say the water in both cities is excellent and the facilities sufficient to cope with the demands of the consumers. But it Is evident in this comparison, the Anderson company obtains much more credit than does the Richmond company. ' The following table has been prepared for the benefit of the argument which will continue and shows operating revenues, net income and rates: . Richmond $95,45.07 $44,282.21 20 to 6 cents Vincennes 60,330.47 , 14,740.40 25 to 8 cents Jeffersonville 35,924.25 12,442.20 40 to 15 Cents Elwood 23,463.56 2,328.49 25 to 15 cents Elkhart 70,480.91 30,376.98 12 to 8 cents For municipal plants, th3 figures are operating revenues, net incomes and rates: .

SOCIALISTS PREACH PEACE FOR ITALY

ZURICH, Aug. 9.A peace movement, in Italy is gaining ground under the leadership of the Socialists. A correspondent of the "Neue Zuericher Zeitung" who returned from Rome a few days ago reports that the opposition of the working and middle classes to the war is becoming more and more pronounced on account of the deplorable economic condition. The results of the new offensive of the Italian army are unsatisfactory to the public and there is much bitterness against-England and aid promised by them. The newspapers are beginning to discuss peace in spite of the strict censorship, and in the larg cities the Socialists are holding many anti-war meetings which generally are well attended. The statements of the correspondent are confirmed by the Italian papers arriving here. Some of them urge the government to suppress the "traitorous" propaganda of the Soc-

TO LIVE LONG ! A recipe, given by a famous physician for long life was: "Keep the kidneys in'good order! Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons , that: otherwise clog the kid-, neys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much salt, alco-. hoi, tea. .Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water, and exercise so you sweat the skin helps to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid." For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation, as backache, scalding "water." or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, "rusty" joints stiffness, get "Anuric" at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by

Dr. Pierce of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will know that it is thirty-seven times more potent than llthia and that it dissolves uric acid at hot water does sugar. Adv.
