ed in convincing the council that the
presidents statement in the United
States court was SO far wrong that
the council compromised on an assess
ment of $150.000. The city has been
getting $4,000 per year additional taxes
ever since. Mr.. Van Law could prob
ably cite his successor to the company's
own contention as to proper valuation
Of their property from which an sex-
pert could compute just and reasonable
rates. If the claim was presented
that no Industrial property IL asssssed
for taxation at its full value, which
is true, the city could then employ an
expert engineer to appraise the entire
physical property just as tho the city
or investors were preparing to pur-
chase it. Rates that would yield an
adequate income upon this valuation
would be Just and reasonable. The
Times Republican believes that an
investment Of 100000 in improve
ments and extensions to the gas and
lighting plants ought to be enforcet'
and a reduction of rates made that
will save the present consumers ap-
proximately $4,000 per year. Here is
some real reform and if we find a po-
litical campaign helping us to get It,
let's get 1t.

Of this kind obscure the fact that the

town electric light and gas rates are
exceedingly high and the service Is
abominably poor. The Times Republi-
can has repeatedly insisted that the
people Of this community ought to rise
up in movement for better service.
The mayor has been urged for three
years to adopt this as ono Of his re-
forms and he has been free to admit
that the business interests OF the COM
munity demanded q galvanization OF
this public service corpse as well as
was the public entitled to improved gas
and electric service at lower rates. The
hope that possibly the property would
be purchased by persons who would
build an interurban, improve the local
service and cheaper II slightly, has
caused us all to be patient. But now,
since the interurban hope has gone
glmmering by the expiration Of the
option and tax aid, 1t is time to go
after what we can get, namely. more
reasonable rates. The proper COM
mittee of the council should be author
lied to consult expert engineers on the
subject.
Any attempt to reduce rates will
probably be met by a hard luck story
from the company. Mr.. Van Law dis
covered this when as city attorney he
undertook to have the company as
sessed properly for taxation. He dis
covered that in resisting former light
and gas ordinance the president Of the
company had sworn TO a statement In
the United States circuit court to the
effect that the company's property had
cost 5475, 900 and was then worth $425,-

Aged Mechanic Dies Alone and
Body is Discovered After
Friends Make Inquiry
HAD BEEN DEAD FEW DAYS
Presumed He Died Last Monday-Was
Last Seen on Sunday = Cause of
Death Thought to Be ApopIexy or
Heart Disease-No Evidence Of Foul
Play Discovered.

The body of William l.. Paul, famil-
iarly known as "Bill' Paul, was found
in his room on the second floor of the
Cummings building, over South First
avenue, at about 6 o'clock Friday even
ing. How long he had been dead is
not known, but the appearance of the
place two or three days before. The
body was found after friends had no.
1iced his absence and had become sus-
picious. There were no marks on the
body or evidence in the room that
would indicate either murder or sui
eide 1t Is presumed the man died of
heart disease or apoplexy.
George Barstow, who had often
VIC rked with Paul, who was a stone
mason. was the first to miss Paul and
make inquiry. Barstow, because In
terested in his friends apparent abb
sence, had gone to his room and
climbed ur so he could look thru the
transcni.
Body Lying on Floor.
In the dim light he saw Paul lying
on the floor, but did not know wheth-
err he was sick or dead. He summoned
Constable Walter Wilson. who opened
the transom, climbed into the room,
and unlocked the door.
The body was lying at full length
on the floor, the face turned upwards.
1t was clad only in underwear, and on
one foot there was q slipper. Blood
had oozed from the mouth and nose,
which indicates that death had taken
place several days before.
Probably Died in the Night.
From the clothing on the body. and
also because one foot was slippered it
would appear that Paul died in the
night and that he was overcome while
either in the act Of going to bed or
getting up. Lying on top OF a pile Of
newspapers was a morning paper Of
Sunday, April IL, which verifies the
statement that Paul was about on last
Sunday. None of those who room in
the same building can remember Of
seeing him since that time.

CHEESE TALK
American People Are Becoming Great

Is Because Cheese Gets Better Each
Year - Some Reasons Why This
In So.

Year - Some Reasons Why This
IL So.
To illustrate the reversal Of the no.
ton that people have concerning food
1t has been a commonly accepted the
DRY for years that cheese was an al
most indigestible food. but of late years
IL has come to the notice of the medi-
cal profession, and others. that in
Wales, where the price of meat is so
high that they can not afford to eat 1t
more than once or twice a week, 1t Is
the practice of the WEIGH miner to take
along for his dinner equal quantities
of cheese and bread, and right here at
home for people who have stomach
trouble to eat cheese to cure 1t. begin
ming with small quantity and gradu-
ally increasing the quantity, and it ac-
tually is an aid to digestion.
We are gradually becoming civilized
enough to realize that all kinds of
well cured cheese are benefit to our
health. This is because of the fact
that they are partially predigested and
that people with weak stomachs can
eat them and derive a great amount of
benefit from the nourishment found In
all good cheese.
We used to have what was known
as skim milk cheese and filled cheese,
but nowadays all the cheese which
comes to this market Is full-cream,
and the taste is only regulated by the
length of time the cheese has been
made. Cheese improves with age. and
is not good to eat until at least two
months after it has been made. and
six months or year Is better. If the
cheese is cured in a properly built
curing room.
If you want cheese without the bite.
you will get this in young cheese. and
the older the cheese the greater the
snap.
