!fEW DOSES PUT BAD KIDNEYS IN ORDER
Lame Back, Bladder Misery and All Kidney Disorders Vanish.

The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from 1ndi- gestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-order stomach Is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapepsin.
 If your Stomach is lacking in diges- tive power, why not help the stomach do its work, not with drastic drugs. but a enforcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach.
 People with weak stomachs should take a little Diapepsin occasionally, and there will be no more Indigestion, no feeling like lump of lead in the stomach. no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on stomach or Belching of undi- gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or Sick Stomach. and besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. All these symptoms resulting from sour. out of order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after taking a little Diapepsin.
 Go to your druggist and get bO- cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetitite. and what you eat will taste good. because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh. and you will know there are not go- ing to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living.

MEN EASY FOR SHOE CLERK
No Trouble to Fool" Them By
 Changing Size Marks on Shoes

Broadway shoe dealer. expounding a pet theory. offers the following proof that mans conception of happiness and contentment depends largely on the state of his imagination.
 "A short time ago." he explained. "one of my best customers came in and asked for pair of shoes. It happened that 1 had in stock at that time the exact thing the customer called for. and, everything consider ed. 1t looked as if I would make a quick sale. However. despite the fact that to me the style and fit of the shoes were perfect the customer upon standing up. declared that they were too tight and that he wanted the same thing half size larger
 Now I was absolutely convinced that the shoes, which were size 8. were large enough. and not having on hand pair of Sk. I decided to test a theory of mine regarding the rela- ton of the imagination to content ment. Taking the shoes to the rear of the store. I picked up a stamp and next to the figure affixed the frac- tion s. Returning to the prospective purchaser with the identical pair of shoes that he had had on. I quickly laced they up for the second time and asked him how that pair felt.
 Now. these feel something like it; they're just the thing
 And supplemented the shoe man. can you imagine selling a woman a pair of shoes by convincing her that they were a size larger than they really wear ?"-New York Telegraph.

The Municipal Electric Plant
 or Pasadena, Cd/ifornid

The municipal electric plant of PaSa- dena, California. has been cited as an eX- ample of municipal ownership success.
 If this plant really is municipal own ership success we do not think the people of Phoenix or any other community would care much for the brand of success at tained.
 January 26. 1910, the citizens of Pasa- dena VOTED DOWN proposition to is- sue $1,2OOOOO to secure the municipal ownership of WATER -WORKS-the one utility which nearly everyone agrees should be publicly owned.
 IF THE PEOPLE OF PASADENA CONSIDERED THEIR ELECTRIC PLANT A SUCCESS, DO YOU SUP POSE THEY WOULD HAVE REFUSED TO MUNICIPALIZE THE WATER WORKS?
 In two or three respects the present situation at Phoenix resembles a former situation at Pasadena. The results at Pasadena are far more in the nature of warning than an encouragement.
 Something over three years ago, when Pasadena contained about as many people as Phoenix does now, an engineer was em- ployed to build a municipal electric plant His estimated cost of the establishment was $125,OO0 complete
 Up to date the plant has cost $385,026. It does not by any means cover the entire city, and preparations are under way for ANOTHER BOND ISSUE to pay for ex- tensions. The city has already issued $325,000 bonds for construction, and has paid $52,000 in direct taxation for the same purpose
 The Pasadena municipal electric plant is steam plant using oil for fuel, com peting for business with the Southern California Edison Company, but thus far succeeding in obtaining only about 9 per cent. of the local commercial business.
 For the year 1909 the accounts of the Pasadena municipal plant show loss of $7,100, provided proper allowance for de- preciation is made, but allowing nothing for lost taxes insurance, damage claims, legal expenses and other necessary ex- penses which should be included
 During 1909 the City of Pasadena paid
Arizona republican., 1910-02-04

the municipal plant considerably more for STREET LIGHTING AND OTHER SERVICE than the plant received for COMMERCIAL service of all kinds. The city paid over $31,350 for street lighting and for lighting the city buildings and playgrounds, as against $27,676 collected for COMMERCIAL service.
 The cost per inhabitant for STREET LIGHTING in Pasadena is $1.15 annually, as opposed to an average cost of 65 cents per inhabitant in fifteen other Southern California cities. The figures show that great deal more street lighting is done in Pasadena than other cities think neces- sary, but that this payment is required for the municipal plant to present even an appearance of success.
 Those in charge of the Pasadena mu- nicipal plant now appeal for more busi- ness on the ground of ''civic pride," rather than for business reasons.
 Half of the producing capacity of the plant-total, 1,50O kilowatts- idle for lack of business, but in order to get more business it will be necessary to invest ad- ditional thousands in EXTENSIONS TO THE DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM Men qualified to know state that it will cost fully $7500OO to build plant fully equal JO tHt eHJlIe clectTlcdl uellldnuS.
 It is true that electric lighting rates at Pasadena have been reduced, but the re- duction has been accomplished at the ex- pense of ALL THE TAXPAYERS for the . TEMPORARY benefit of those who use electric service, and who pay little in direct taxation.
 The City officials of Pasadena, or at least some of them, still contend that the municipal electric plant is successful They cannot well do otherwise, owing to their official position. They do not try to claim, however, that the plant finished the year with a surplus sufficiently large to cover the very important and considerable ex- pense of depreciation.
 The lack of depreciation fund means MORE BONDS when the equipment wears out and needs replacement-lo before the original bonds have matured and been paid off.
 Consider these facts and make up your OWN mind
