It was recommended that pressure either be brought on the city, to supply electric current, or for the residents of Beallview to contract outside for their current. The report of Secretary Koll showed ,at the indebtedness of the associamoa was reduced to $3,400. A short address was' made by Gus Hoelscher, who expressed the hope that the Richmond Home Builders' Association, recntly organized, would erect good homes for the working man, at a medium cost.

The DrOOf of the excellent result nh.
tained is evidenced by the numerous
inspections made by officials from other cities and counties during the past year. The year 1920 promises to exceed all others. Chief among those improvements contemplated for the coming year is' the paving of 'South E street, from South Eighth to south Twenty-third and thence eastward to the Henley road. With the improvement of this street, tl will tend to open up the southeast portion of he city as well as Improve one of our much used thoroughfares. South E street is 50 feet wide west of, and 68 feet wide east of south Sixteenth street. It is. proposed to 'construct curb and gutter on both sides and pave the street with concrete.

from West Fifth street westward will provide a paved street past the proposed new Junior High School, which it is proposed to build on the corner

the others, will be built in cooperation
with the county authorities. There will also be other improve
ments as the season advances.
Knapp Favors Suffrage
Session, He Declares in Letter to RUss Benbridge Representative James M. Knapp, of Hagerstown, favors a one-day legislative session to ratify woman suffrage, he said, in a letter to Miss Helen Benbridge, president of the state Franchise league, Wednesday. The letter follows:
Miss Helen C. Benbridge, President,
Woman's Franchise League, Terre Haute, Indiana.
I have your letter of Jan. 3 relative
to a "one-day session of the Legisia
ture for the purpose of ratifying the
Federal Suffrage Amendment.
After giving the matter most care
ful consideration, I have decided to
give my endorsement to the plan.
Should it be possible that three-
fourths of the states do not ratify the suffrage amendment, I do not want
any responsibility for . us failure to rest upon Indiana because of delay on
her part. Many states of the Union are wondering why Indiana has not
ratified. I feel now, and always have
felt, that prompt ratification by our
state would hasten action by the re
maining number of states necessary to
assure the adoption of the amend
ment. Last June after congress sub
mitted the amendment to the several
states. I wrote to the governor, urging
that he call a special session of the
assembly at once and let Indiana set
the example by being one of the first
states to ratify.
During the last four years the women of the United States have not
only earned their right to the ballot
but they have proven their fitness for suffrage in every way. The women
of Indiana have been looking forward to the time when this state should
take action, and I believe that my
constituents in Wayne - county, both men and women, will approve of my
stand in this letter.
At first I was opposed to the "oneday session" plan, as I felt that there
were other matters that should be
considered at the special session; also

Nothing New Under Sun,
Proves Fetters Burg. Alarm
There is nothing new under the
sun, even hurglar alarms, as Is proved
by the example of Henry Fetta. In the
building now. occupied by . the Inter-
urban restaurant, about 35 years
ago.
Fetta, afraid of burglars in his real
estate office, had two large posts fixed
m the wall about 5 feet from the. roof.
Mounted upon these he had a big bell
with a sheet iron roof to protect it
from rain and snow. A cord extended
from the bell down into Fetta's office,
and was concealed beneath his desk
A slight pull was all .that was neces
sary to notify the whole city that his
office was being robbed. Outside of practice, Fetta never had occasion to
use the alarm.
The bell may still be seen on the
tide of the building occupied by the laundry and a barber shop. A good view may be gained by going to the end of the hall on the second floor of the building just north.

By DEL B. DAVIS Regardless of the continued high costot materials and labor the amount of public Improvements . in 1919 exceeded those in 1918 by a goodly margin. The most important street improvement was the paving of South Ninth street, from South E to South L street, continued by the county still southward to the Straight-Line pike. This is an improvement which has been needed for some years. It is one of the prominent inlets into the city from the south, and bears a heavy traffic at all seasons of the year. Part of this street, that part from South H to South L, bad never been graded or improved in any manner, while that part from South E to South H, had been graded and graveled a good many years ago. With the new sidewalks which were laid later, the treci Is one of the best in the city. MV'heost of the curb and gutter on l this street was 85 cents a lineal foot, and the cost of the concrete paving was $2.55 and $2.65 per square yard. A number of alleys were paved with concrete. Concrete paving of alleys has proven popular in Richmond. This Is due to the careful manner in which
they are designed and the expert man
ner in which they are constructed. All the sand and gravel which constitutes the mixture is thoroughly washed and graded before being used, and which with the cement, is thor
oughly mixed in a mixer before depos
iting in the forms. The completed alley pavement when built in such a way presents a smooth, even surface for the increasing num
ber of automobiles used and is much more sanitary than the old style bowl
der alley. The cost of the concrete alleys averaged 23 cents per square
foot. Treat Streets with Mixture.
The treating of macadam and gravel
streets with Tarvia was an important achievement of the past's years work
Perhaps more good resulted from this work than any other, due to the large
erritory which was covered.

BIG HEART INTEREST THROBS THROUGH MRS. HOLSPETER'S
VERY INTERESTING STORY
To suffer with nervous dyspepsia, to experience the agony this dreaded ailment causes, to realize the tenacity of its endurance when once it has taken strong hold, and then to be rid of the ailment, almost over night, it would seem, is the thrilling experience of Mrs. Gertrude Holspeter, 309 North 14th St., Richmond. Mrs. Holspeter credits Pepgen with this remarkable experience. Here Is her story: "I suffered with nervous dyspepsia and at times I had pains in my stomach that were almost unbearable. At such times I was compelled to go to bed and I could do nothing but roll and toss and moan. I often thought I could not stand the misery. Many nights my mother has sat up attending me. g "I discovered that rich foods made my trouble worse so I was very careful what I ate. At Thistlethwaite's drug
store on Main Street they told me about Pepgen. They said they had so many good reports about the medicine that they thought it might help me. I tried it. It helped me. "I have used it several weeks and have not had a pain since I began. I am eating whatever I desire. I feel very thankful towards Pepgen. It is wonderful to me to be able .to eat a hearty meal, to get a good night's rest and feel strong in general." The fact that Pepgen is sold and recommended by Clem Thlstlethwalte and other first-class druggists is in itself proof of its merit. Mr. Thlstleth
walte is a friend and advisor of everyone of his customers. He says what he thinks is the truth about medicines. "Pepgen gives universal satisfaction. I am glad to handle It because our customers realize Its worth," is his usual commendation. Adv.

Why Acid-Stomach Causes So Much Bad Health
Many people seem to think that acidstomach is of little importance; that it merely causes some slight trouble such as belching, heartburn, sour, gassy stomach, food-repeating, bloat, etc. If those same people would only realize the real troth about acid-stomach and when these first symptoms appear would at once start to get rid of them, what a crushing load of awful Buffering, misery and ill-health would be lifted from mankindl Do you realise that the ill effects of an acidstomach extend throughout the entire system and more or less affect practically every organ and tissue of the human body? Well, it's a fact. For that matter, few people realize that one of the chief causes of tooth decay is a tasteless acid that forms in he mouth acid-mouth the dentists call it. And so with acid-stomach ' you can't always feel its actual presence but it keeps right on creating serious damage throughout the entire system nevertheless. For instance, probably few people would ever think that there could be any connection between an acid-stomach and dandruff and falling hair; or between an acid-stomach and a gouty foot. Nevertheless there Is a direct connection. ' Acid-stomach interferes with digestion and assimilation. It causes the food to ferment
Makes the stomach sour and creates gases. That's what causes those acute stomach pains of indigestion, that miserable bloated feeling after eating , heartburn, belching, food-repeating , etc. Now of course the right thing to do is to get rid of the acid-stomach so that the food will he properly digested. Nature will do the rest. There is a quick and easy way to do this. A wonderful new discovery makes it possible to remove acid-stomach without the slightest discomfort. It is called EATONIC, made in the form of tablets they are good t eat just like a bit of candy. EATONIC quickly banishes bloat, heartburn , belching, food-repeating, indigestion, etc. A marked improvement in one's general health speedily follows the use of EATONIC. There is better appetite, better digestion, more strength, vim ana vigor. EATONIC is to be had at all drug stores. Tour druggist is authorised to refund your money if you are not satisfied.
