3 GENTS A MILE IS NOT REALLY ENOUGH SAYS COMMISSIONER

- The Indiana Public Service com''mission in authorizing the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company to charge a 3-cent fare, Thursday, also authorized it to charge for a 40-ride commutation book 25 times the full one-way fare, with a minimum of 3.25 for a single-book. In the hearing on the T. H. I. & E. case, the city of Greenfield insisted that there was discrimination against lnterurban passengers traveling in and out of Indianapolis, created by a fivecent fare in the city limits. The commission rules that the city of Greenfield did not do more than point out this condition; that It did not ask that the issue be broadened, or that all parties at Interest be brought into the question and that without all parties at interest before it, and without statutory notice, the commission is without jurisdiction to deal with the situation. The commission believes that the matter could best be determined by a separate petition. The commission kept a check on service provided In March and April by the petitioner. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern, the Indianap

olis & Cincinnati, the Interstate Publlo Service company and the Indiana i Service corporation, formerly the Fort Wayne & Northern Indiana Traction .' company Advanced Cost of Coal. E. L Lewis, chairman of the com- ! mission, in commenting on the rate leases, said: i "The commission used as a rate

basis, a valuation of 32,000 a mile in all three cases, and holds that such a valuation is conservative. The advanced cost of coal is the principal cause of the necessity for fare readjustments, although the evidence also

'revealed continued upward trend of ! cost of all other items of maintenance land operation. ' "The evidence at various traction I hearings revealed that coal which ten ! years ago, cost the traction companies Ifrom 35 to SO cents a ton at the mines, according -to market conditions, land that was transported on freight Irates that ran from 50 cents to G5 j cents, according to destination, is 'hitting the high levels of approximately 4 a ton delivered. "In case of the Terre Haute, Indiianapolis & Eastern, the present price of coal is running 163,000 more a year than in 1919, and an increase of 25 per cent in freight rates, which it lis expected that the interstate comimerce commission will authorize beifore September 1, would add another j$3o,000. raising the total to $198,000 i over the high level of 1918 costs of coal. "The net income of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern for 1919, was

6.8 per cent. "The finding is that the increased cost of coal, labor, materials and supplies used in the maintenance and operation of these utilities would, if the present rates were continued, reduce -the earnings to approximately 3 per cent or less. New Rates Not Adequate. "The orders further indicate that the advance from 2 cents to 8 cents a mile will not offset entirely the increased cost of coal, labor, materials and supplies. The estimates are that for the projected year, the earnings

of the T. H. I. & E., 5.3 per cent

including 1 per cent for depreciation on equipment, for the Indianapolis & Cincinnati, 8.3 per cent, with no al lowance for depreciation. "Although these rates are inadequate, interurban railroads are unable to go beyond the 3-cent fares of competing st6am railroads. The interurban lines in all surrounding states have been on a 3-cent fare basis for some time." Interurban fares in Indiana, prior to 1918, were two cents a mile. These

were increased in January. 1918, to 2.5 cents; in January, 1919, to 2.75 cents, and now to 3 cents. A number of other interurbans have requested the commission to raise their basis to 3 cents a mile, and the commission is working on these petitions.

Only recently has science dis

covered what you actually need and what your body must have to build vibrant strength, renew your energies and keep up a fullness of the buoyant

health and life which are absolutely necessary to make steady nerves, rosy cheeks and a clear, lovely skin. It is

nothing more or less than a lack in j many everyday foods of a health-build-1 ing, life-giving beauty creating sub-

stance known as vitamines that sclent

ists have found to be responsible in

great measure for the weakened, run

down and nervous condition of countless numbers of women. It is this lack which gives such a haggard, care

worn and prematurely old appearance and keeps thousands from looking or

feeling at their best. "Nature supplies vitamines In var

ious raw foods, but to attempt to eat

enough of these raw foods to get the

run amount of vitamines which the

system requires for health and strength is almost a physical impossibility. Therefore, . vitamines are

now prepared in a concentrated earily-j assimilated tablet form called Vita- j mon, and numerous tests by men, ! women and children have plainly j proved its extraordinary merit. From j my own personal use of Vitamon three I

times a day with meals and from carefully watching the patients to whom I have given it, I am convinced that there is no other tonic or preparation whatsoever to which It can be compared. With the introduction of Vitamon there no longer seems any doubt that many a pale, anaemic, delicate woman may quickly build herself up to renewed vim and power and marvelously enhance the beauty of

jjier appearance."

"Bryan might swallow McAdoo, but he won't swallow Cox or Edwards. Cox is both able and popular; he would probably poll a larger vote than McAdoo, who has aroused opposition among the business interests of the country. If there is a deadlock at San Francisco a 'dark horse' may be nominated. John W. Davis has been mentioned as a possibility. Senator Underwood, of Alabama, altho he comes from the 'Solid South,' would make an ideal president" thus the Birmingham Age-Herald presents a bird's-eye view of the situation at San Francisco. And these are not the only men who have a chance, according to the American press. Should there be a strong provision in the platform endorsing the League of Nations, with or without reservations? Should the platform contain a "wet" or a "dry" plank? Should there be an appeal to the labor vote? . .. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for 'this week, June 26th, the Democratic platform and the various planks that it should contain, as proposed by Democratic editors, is discust, as well as a summary of the chances for nomination of various men who have been put forward.

WE HAVE IT

"THE VITAMON GIRL" Thii is a type of woman with plenty of life-giving vitamines in hep system. She has the strong, steady nerves, the clear lovely skin, the reserve force and the energy that comes from a fullness of radiant health. .Why not be like her instead of weak, nervous and always on the verge of collapse and breakdown? In this article Dr. John J. Rudolph tells you how the concentrated vitamines like VITAMON will help you. Advertisement. ' NOTE: The subject of vitamines discussed above by Dr. Rudolph has taken great strides since the eminent scientist Dr Casimer Funk of London named the substance In 1911. Osborno and Mendel of Yale Medical and K. J. McCollum of Johns-Hopkins University perhaps have done most in this country. The London "Lancet." one of the leading and most authoritative medical journals of the world, devotes considerable space In nearly every issue to a discussion of vitamines and their Influence upon the general health. The concentrated tablet form known as Vitamon affords a simple easy method for getting vitamines Into the system and quickly building up the. strength, energy and power and may be taken with benefit by either men or women, young or old. An agreement has been reached whereby Vitamon is supplied at a price low enough to be within the reach of all, and completely satisfactory results are guaranteed or money will be promptly refunded. Vitamon may now be obtained in this city from all leading druggists, sach as Quigley's, A. J. Luken, Thistlethwaite, Fosler and Haffler & Spanagel..
