The Gas Rate Finding. When the Indiana Public Utilities Commission handed down a ruling Saturday, increasing the gas rate, and throwing the burden of the new schedule on the small consumer, it handed the citizens of Richmond the hardest jolt they have received from a utility in many a month. The blow was a staggering one. No one anticipated an increase as large as the one which the state commission gave the gas company. That an increase would come was generally expected, but no one expected seventy-cent gas. The commission really handed the company a mighty fine present and gave the city a mighty fine blow. The company gets more than it asked for, and the city gets another increase in the cost of living. Little need be said in an analysis of the ruling. One thing is apparent citizens of this city can

not afford to use gas at this rate, and there is every justification for citizens refusing to burn the fuel and falling back on coal and wood. Hundreds of consumers will find themselves unable to pay the increased rates, and they will be compelled to burn other fuel. The result of this will be that the receipts of the company in the long run will be less than they would have been had the commission given a rate along the lines indicated by City Attorney Bond in his brief.

investigation showed that the sale of the narcotic among children had attained considerable proportions. . One is staying within the bounds of reason when he expresses the hope that the courts of New York fix the heaviest penalty on the statute books on the persons guilty of this praptice. Legislation has sought for many years to break up the traffic among adults, and when the sale of the drug became so general that even children can buy it, the point has been reached when no punishment is too drastic. The pitfalls surrounding a child are numerous enough without subjecting it to the ruinous effects of the drug habit. Men who sink to the level of selling cocaine to children have forfeited all claims to judicial clemency. They deserve severe punishment.

Standard Baskets. On November 1, 1917, standards for baskets grapes, other fruits and vegetables, and other types of baskets, will be established by the United States government. The law which passed congress applies only to interstate shipments and does not interfere with local regulations. The passage of this law will help housewives very much. It will put an end to payment for short weight and short measure in the buying of fruits and vegetables. The absence of a standard rule for measuring fruits and vegetable has worked a hardship on many a housewife who paid a good price for foodstuff and received less than she paid for. The act carries with it a clause providing penalties for those who violate its provisions.. The working out of the law is left with the department of agriculture. '

Doping Children. New York is agitated over a discovery made by the police that cocaine and dope has been sold to school children. By merest chance, a vendor of the drug was detected disposing of it in small lots to school children. A subsequent

Profit Taking. A man can not make a legitimate profit unless he has an investment, be it of time or money. A student gets no profit from his books and schooling unless it is preceded by application and study. A farmer cannot harvest a crop unless he sows the seed and cultivates the ground. A business man cannot make a profit unless he makes an investment. A mechanic cannot enjoy wages unless he learns his trade. . ' ' And so it is in a moral sense. A man cannot enjoy the nobler sides of life unless he has taken time and pains to acquire them. Excellence of character comes, by way of development and cultivation. Good books, good companions, participation in noble things, develop the positive sides of our' moral make-up. A noble man is such because he has developed these sides. They do not come to him unsolicited and without work.

She Emiled wanly as he pressed her hand, and her pale lips trembled, but no words came. "My poor child!" the great detective found himself saying from the depths of his fatherly heart. "You are positively 111! This will never do. You are not keeping your promise to me." "I am trying hard to, Mr. Blaine." Anita motioned toward a chair and sank into another with a little gasp of sheer exhaustion. "You have never failed yet, and you have given me your word that you would bring Ramon back to me. I try to have faith, but with every hour that passes, hope dies within me, and I can feel that my strength, my will to believe. Is dying, too. I know that you must be doing your utmost, exerting every effort, and yet I cannot resist the longing to urge you on, to try to express to you the torture of uncertainty and dread which consumes me unceasingly. That my father's fortune Is gone means nothing to me now. Only give me back Ramon alive and well, and I shall ask no more!" "I hope to be able to do that speedily," Blaine returned. "As 1 told you over the telephone, I have positive proof that he is alive, and a definite clue as to his whereabouts. You must usk me nothing further now only try to find faith in your heart for just a few days, perhaps hours, longer. You 'phoned to Mrs. Hamilton, as I suggested?" "Yes. She demurred at first, dreading the notoriety, and not not appear

ing to believe in your ability a3 I do, but I simply refused to listen to her objections. Mr. Curlis called me up

shortly afterward, and wanted to know

if I would be able to receive him this

afternoon, on a matter connected with

my finances, but I told hira I had retained you to search for Ramon, and was expecting you at any moment He seemed greatly astonished, and warned me of the he called It 'useless'

expense. He begged me not to be Ira

patient, to wait until I had time to

think the matter over and consult himself and Mr. Mallowe, saying that they were doing all that could be done to locate Ramon, and Mr. Rockamore was, also, but I told him it was too late, that you were on your way here." "That was right. I am glad you told him. The fact that you have retained me to search for Mr. Hamilton will uppear as a scoop in every evenin? paper which he controls, now, and the more publicity given to it, the better. You told me over the 'phone that Mr. Rockamore calls upon you every day?" "Yes. I try to be cordial to him, but for some reason which I can't explain I dislike him more than either of the others. I don't know why he comes so often, for he says very little, .only sits and stares at that chair tho chair in which my father died until I feel that I should like to Bcream. It seems to exert the same itrange uncanny Influence over him as it does over, me that chair. More than once, when he has been announced, I have entered to find him standing close beside it, looking down it It as If my father were seated there. ,

once more and he was talking to blm, I don't in the least know why, but the thought seems to prey on my mind perhaps because the chair fascinates me, too, in a queer way that is half repulsion." "You are morbid, Miss Lawton you must not allow such fancies to grow, or they will soon take possession of you, in your weakened state, and become an obsession. Tell me, have you heard anything from the club girls we established in your guardian's offices?" "Oh, yes! I had forgotten completely in my excitement and joy over your news of Ramon, vague though it is, that there was something important which I wanted to tell you. Since Margaret Hefferman's dismissal, all my girls have been sent away from the positions I obtained for them all except Flfine Dechaussee." "And she resigned not an hour ago," remarked the detective rather grimly, supplementing the fact with as many details as he thought necessary. Anita listened is silence until he bad finished. "Poor girl! Poor Fiflne! What a pity that she should fancy herself in love with such a man as you describe this Paddington to be! She must be persuaded to remain in the club, of course; we cannot allow her to leave us now. I feel responsible for her,

and especially so since It was Indirectly because of me, or while she was in my service, at any, rate, that she met this man. If she is all that you say, she could never be happy If she married him." "There's small chance of that. He has a wife already. "She left him years ago, and runs a boarding house somewhere on Hill Street, I believe," Blaine replied. "I don't fancy he'll add bigamy to the rest of his nefarious acts. But tell me of the other

girls. They did not report to me." To Be Continued. TALKS INTO TROUBLE

THE WITCH AND HER GOLD Once upon a time there was a witch who was very rich. Her cave was lined with boxes and bags of gold, and a deep hole under her cave was filled with ... gold and precious stones This old witch used to carry off the children of kings, and then tell them that for a big amount of gold she would tell them how to get their children back. For many years she did this wicked thing, until one day she carried off a little prince who was braver and more courageous than the others had been, and the old witch was caught in the trap she had set for others. The old witch used to carry a big bag on her back and she wandered about the country, lying in wait for a prince or a princess, and when she found one or the other who had strayed far enough from the palace so she could talk to them, she would throw her bag on the ground and say: "While a bag you only appear to me, To others you look to be a tree." Then the old witch would touch the

tree that appeared, and it would be ! filled with luscious looking fruit, and

the little prince or princess would run to the tree to gather it. Then the old witch, who was hiding somewhere about, would come to the tree and say very quickly: "Obey me, bag, and wrap around The prize you seo which I have found." And then the tree would become a bag again and drop over the little prince or princess, and the wicked old witch would carry off the royal child to her cave and keep it until the king gave her gold. Now it happened that one king had a son who was a dwarf, and though he was a man in years, he was only a child in size. One day he thought of a scheme to

be rid of the old witch and her dreadful manner of stealing the royal children, and he went into the woods and watched. By and by along came the old witch with the bag over her back, and when she saw the prince she knew he was a prince by the way he was dressed the old witch dropped the bag she carried and repeated: "While a bag you only appear to me, To others you look to be a tree." Then she covered the tree with big peaches and ran behind a pile of stones. The prince ran to the tree and began to pick the fruit and eat it. When he took the first bite of a peach a strange thing happened. The

FAVORS CENSORED MOVIES

ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 11. Mayor Mellett has declared himself in favor

of a moving picture censorship for the city because, he says, many pic

tures are being shown which are de

moralizing to children.

prince felt himself growing tall, bo he hurridly devoured the peach, and taller and taller he grew, until he reached the top .of the tree In less time than it takes to tell about It. The other royal children who had been caught by the old witch had never tasted it because they gathered it to carry away witn them, and before they could escape the old witch had said: "Obey me, bag and wrap around The prize you see which I have found." But when the old witch saw the prince eat the fruit she began to cry out as loud as she could for the tree to obey her, and the prince stepped away from the tree so that when it fell it covered the old witch. As quick as thought, the prince, who was now a giant, rolled the old witch over and over in the big until she was all wound up in it, and then picking her up he ran toward a river, intending to toss her in to punish her for her wickedness. But just as he was about to do so a black cat came running through the wood toward him. To the surprise of the prince, the cat called to him to stop, that she had something to tell him, and she waved a curious black stock which she carried in one paw. "Don't throw her into the river," said the cat; "change her into a big black rock instead; here is her magic cane she has changed many things with; now let her feel It's magic spell." So the prince put the bag and the old witch on the ground, and the cat touched the bag with the cane, saying: "Become as hard and black as your wicked old heart has been." From the ground arose a big black rock, which looked like a big black heart. "And now If you will come with me," said the cat, "I will show you

where the old witch kept her gold and precious stones, and you shall

have them all, for I shall be free tonight at 12 o'clock and leave here forever. You have earned the gold; take it." When they reached the cave of the old witch the cat said: "First let me give you some herb medicine which will restore you to your former size, for I am sure you ate the fruit on the tree, you are so big." The prince took the cup which she handed him and drank, and suddenly the cat struck him on the head with tho black cane, and so hard it made the prince see stars, but when it was over he found he was a man and not

a dwarf, and he forgave her and did not mind the hurt. Tomorrow's "story "The Reply of the Full Corn-Stalk."

Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham 's Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All sick women should read them.

Marinette, 'Wis. "I went to the doctor and

he told me 1 must have an operation for a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the

time. 1 toon Lyaia K. .rcnimam's v egetaoie com

because I am so thankful that I feel well again." Sirs- Feed Beenke, Marinette, Wis.

Detroit. Mich. "When I first took Lydia E.

I Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down

with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor

said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am well" Mrs. Thos. Dwyer, 989 Milwaukee Ave, East, Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa. " I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 115 pounds. It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the opportunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman." Miss Ikexs Fkoelichbr, 1923 Manhattan St, North Side, Bellevue, Pa.
