Why Deceive Ourselves? Let's face the facts about the condition of the municipal light plant promptly, manfully, and with business judgment. "Neither evasion of the issue nor postponement of the reckoning will improve the plant or remove the menace. The plant is rated one of the best municipally owned utilities in the United States. Competent engineers have placed its valuation as high as ONE MILLION dollars. Every taxpayer of Richmon, figuratively speaking, is a shareholder of this corporation. Every user of the utility, be it for domestic, business, office, or industrial purposes, is vitally affected by its efficiency or inf f"ifMTlfV

On its efficient operation depend the uninterrupted lighting of our homes, stores, factories, and the power for our shops and industrial establishments. Should the plant, by reason of neglect in the administration of its mechanical equipment or by faulty handling of its financial affairs, deteriorate, all of us must inevitably pay fox the calamity in poor service and in increased taxation to pay the interest on bonds floated to meet the emergency. Two vital factors for the proper upkeep and protection of the municipal light plant suggest themselves: First, there must be sufficient equipment to assure its patrons, both domestic and power users, continuous service under all circumstances. ; Secondly, there must be established a rate sufficiently adequate to cover all costs, including overhead, operation and depreciation. That the plant lacks sufficient equipment to handle its present load and take care of the business that naturally follows the expansion of the city and its business and industrial concerns is fwell established. The 1919 peak was within 700 K. W. of the capacity of the plant. If either of the two turbines should be disabled, disagreeable results, ; manifesting themselves in lack of lights at night

for our homes and streets, and lack of power, during the day to operate our factories, would be inevitable. Turbines are not indestructible. Their parts break, just as do the parts of a sewing machine or a lathe. Days might intervene before the repairs were made, and in the meantime, homes would be without lights, factories would be forced to close their doors, and workers would be thrown out of employment. Logansport suffered severely from the breakdown of the light plant last December. The whole city suffered from the calamity. As shareholders of the municipal light plant we have been entirely too tolerant in accepting the reports which officials from time to time

have presented as to the alleged profit-making

ability of the utility. We have not figured the costs of the plant correctly, and as a result, we

find that instead of making a profit, the plant

in reality has been "running behind." In figuring the profits, very little account has been taken of the wear and tear of the machinery and of providing money for the purchase of new machinery, or in other words, the amount of money set aside each year for depreciation has been entirely too small. Today we are face to face with a critical situation. New machinery should be purchased, but the money for the machinery is not at hand. The plant must have additional units to protect us, that is, to assure. us that we will have light every night and power every day of the year to drive the machinery in our factories, but no provision has been made out of the earnings of the plant to supply this money. The owner of a factory knows that his machinery must be replaced sooner or later and that additional machines must be bought. To take care of this exigency, he each year charges

! against the operating costs of the plant a sum

sufficient to buy this machinery when it is needed. This has not been done in the municipal light plant. The inadequate facilities of the light plant will cost the city dear. During the war the government refused to place contracts in this city because the equipment at the plant was so small that it had ne assurance that it could guarantee uninterrupted service. No heavy consumer of power will come to Richmond so long as the plant is under-equipped, or rather, to tell the truth, unable to guarantee to its present domestic and power consumers continued service under all circumstances. The condition of the light plant is a menace to our welfare. It challenges our attention. It demands remedial measures at once.

ius, the name Juliet had its origin in the Julian gens that preceded Roman civilization. Various legends are put forward to accounl for Julius and historians differ widely, but the generally accepted theory is that Julius Is the diminutive for "dius," meaning divine, and was evolved in the same manner that Zeus, father of the gods, came to be the Roman Jupltor. If such is the case Juliette may fairly be called a daughter of the Gods. The name has been carried to all nations in various forms. She is Giulia In Italy and Jullja in Russia. In Brittany she is Suiiana and Juliana in Spain. Wednesday is her lucky day, according to all historical and mystical indications, and number five Is I her fortunate number.

GERMANS DECLARE STRIKE (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Feb. 11. A general strike has been declared in the industrial region of Solingen, an iron and steel center of Rhenish Prussia. All the works in the area are at a standstill, according to reports from the district today. The Solingen newspapers have been unable to appear because of the printers' strike.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK ASHDES The humdrum makes cowards and laggards of us all! And no matter how important or great our work appears to us, It becomes a dull affair unless we sprinkle it with what I would like to term as "asides." An all-meat meal isn't very interesting or digestible. And it's the same with work. I recently had the privilege of spending a day on the boat of a very wealthy man, who has scattered over a part of the country the product of his genius in the shape of a string of great hotels. I had often wondered how he kept feeding his restless brain. And I found out. Every once la a while he runs off and plays. On his boat he lives simply and happily, and mixes his life there with golfing on land and fishing. Every human being should have his "asides." And it doesn't take great means to have them, either. It is the proportion in which we enjoy and relish our "asides" that make them of use to us. Quantity oftimes makes for vulgarity. It is just as Important for a worker to quit his day promptly as it is that he should report promptly. For if he would become keen and awake, he must divide his mind make roads thru it for interesting "asides." We often marvel at the tremendous amount of actual work achieved by the "many-sided" man but it's just that sort of a man who is able to accomplish much. The one-groove thinker or worker is always the most uninteresting and the person who gives the least to society. And when that one groove is worn to its bottom, where is there hope? My friend, have a hobby a dozen of them, If you can handle each correctly 1

The prisoner wept as he shook his counsel's hand. "No other man on earth could have saved me as you have done, Mr. McMackerel," he sobbed. "I ain't got no wife or family, sir." "So your husband went to church with you?" "Yes, he did." "What was the minister's sermon about?" "Charity toward all." "And did your husband derive any

benefit from the discourse?" "Well, I'll say he did, for when the

preacher asked him what he thought of the sermon my husband refrained from replying."

The Lodge family seems to be watching over us. Sir Oliver is investigating our future life and Henry Cabot our present. The London "Times" says America

is "in breathless suspense." Breath

less is right. Nobody has had a

breath since January 16. Lord Northcliffe remarks that we Americans are a "docile" people, which is about the hardest knock he could have thought of.

; McMackerel was defending a man in -n murder case. The case looked hopeless; the prosecution was soon done. 'Then McMackerel rose. In a quiet, conversational tone McMackeral began to talk to the jury. He made no men- '.. tion of the murder. He just described in vivid colors a pretty country cottage hung with honeysuckle, a young wife preparing supper and the rosy youngs?ters waiting at the gate to greet their , father on his return home for the ' evening meal. Suddenly McMackerel : stopped. He drew himself up to his full height. Then, striking the table with his fist, he cried, in a voice that r thrilled every bosom: "Gentlemen, ''you must send him back to them!" A red-faced juror choked and blurted out: "By George, sir, we'll do it!" McMackerel, without another word.

It's Acid -Stomach That Makes Millions Sick and Suffer

It is a scientific fact that Acid-Stomach robs blood of its vitality, resulting in flabby flesh weakness pale cheeks loss of energy, in fact causes many of the ills of suffering humanity. You know what acid-mouth does to thv teeth and gums how the acid literally eats through the hard enamel, causing the teeth to ache and decay.

They're nervous and irritable;lack power and punch, frequently have severe attacks of blinding, splitting headaches; subject to fits of melancholia ana mental depression. And nearly always their stomachs are out of order, even though many experience no actual stomach pains digestion poor never getting anywhere near the full strength from their food. Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion. It eaoaes the food to ferment. This fermentation creates gas, sometimes causing painful

bloating and belching, food-repeating, heartburn, etc. Serious consequences often follow, such as gastritis, dyspepsia, autointoxication. Also to the same source Acid-Stomach may often be traced cases of catarrh of the stomach, ulcer and cancer of the stomach and intestines, cirrhosis of the liver, valvular heart trouble and heart failure. The secret of good health i3 to get rid of Acid-Stomach put the stomach in such perfect condition that every mouthful of food you eat will be perfectly digested and assimilated.

UPHIS FISTS Suffered Great Pains From Rheumatism of the Joints. His Muscles Were Sore and Stiff.'

Claims Great Relief Since Taking Dreco, the Great Herbal Remedy. When the kidneys become weak or deranged it is Impossible for them to separate the poisons from the blood as it passes through these organs; the kidneys' are the filtering plant for the body; as the blood goes through they strain out the poisons and pass them from the system. If these poisons stay m the blood such troubles as rheumatism, catarrh, sallow skin, dizziness, headaches, etc., show up. The body requires a full supply of pure, rich, red blood, free

keep jt in a healthy condition. Dreco acts on the kidneys, keeping them strong to purify our blood supply. "The greatest relief I've known in years is since I took Dreco", said Mr. Lester S. Geyer, a highly respected employe of the Star Piano Co.. Richmond, Ind. "I've been full of rheumatism, aching joints, and sore muscles for a long time. "My hands were so sore I couldn't double up my fists; I couldn't bend over without having terrible pains in my back. "I've taken SO much medicine that

my stomach was all out of order. My food didn't digest and I got nervous and weak, but I'm feeling great once more for I've never seen anything take hold like Dreco did. It simply knocked out my troubles and put mo on my feet again." All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is hishly recommended in Richmond by Thistlethwaites Drug Store. Advertisement.

Concerning " Epidemics

In Epidemics the germ fastens most readily on fruitful soil a system that is in poor condition. Stoppage of food waste, and the resulting decay, generates poisons which are absorbed by the blood, lowering its power of resistance to withstand the attackjOf outside germs such as influenza. In plain terms, constipation encourages Epidemics. If you keep your intestinal passage clear and functioning regularly to get rid of this waste, your system will be kept in good condition to successfully cope with disease germs to which you may be exposed. That is what the Nujol Treatment does without straining, and without drawing on the vitality of other parts of the body, as do other forms of treatment. In plain terms, Nujol discourages constipation and its dangerous consequences. l Keep your body clean inside with the Nujol Treatment. It is the best possible Sickness Prevention.

Nujol is sold by all druggists in bottles bearing the Nujol Trade Mark. Beware of products represented to be "the same ai Nujol." You may suffer from substitutes.

"l had been hearing a lot about Don Sung, so I felt I owed it to myself and my thousands of poultry-raising friends to try it out. I find," Bays Mr. Fishel, "that the value of Don Sung has not been over-stated a bit it is a wonderful and very beneficial tonic." What Mr. Fishel (of the great Fishelton- Farms at Hope. Indiana) Baj-3 about Don Sung is contained in the following letter, giving the report of his own personal test: "We had heard quite a bit about Don Sung as an egg producer, so naturally were interested as ice always are in anything that is beneficial to the poultry industry. We went to our druggist and purchased a $1 package of Don Sung. Then selected a flock of thirty of our noted White Plymouth Rock hens and pullets, birds that had in a icay 'let up' on their usual egg production. The thirty hens and pullets were producing two e,ggs a day, when we began feeding Don Hung. In thirty days the flock had increased to eighteen to twenty-two eggs a day and yesterday a yield of twenty-four eggs was reported. From two eggs to twentyfour eggs in thirty days with an extra expenditure of $1 is surely a profitable investment. "The results obtained from, feeding Don Sun,g are unlike most remedies. It does not lessen fertility nor docs it leave any evil after-effects' that arc noted after feeding many remedies. If people will buy fowls that arc bred to lay and will oil up the machinery with Don Sung, they will surely get eggs." V. R.f FISHEL, Hope, Ind.
