approximately 1928 per cent This
loss in revenue was made up, however,
by immense increase in business, over
700 new connections, and by the city
paying for current used for street
lighting, policy introduced by the
Robbins administration for the first
time in number of years.
Predicted Tax Increase.
When Mayor Robbins declared his
intention last fall Of having the city
pay the municipal plant for the cur
rent it used Dr. Zimmerman, at that
time mayor, declared if such a policy
was introduced it would mean an in
crease in the tax rate. However,, the
same tax rate is still in existance and
Mayor Robbins hopes to reduce it be-
fore the expiration of his term.
In securing a reduction in the water
rates the larger consumers did not OBJ
tain any substantial benefit but all of
them are satisfied with their new
rates and agree that water service
costs have been more fairly equaliZed.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
II your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots Of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore. don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of WATERFOWL can't drink
too much: also get from any phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts ::
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer Is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this,
also keep up the water drinking, and
no doubt you will wonder what be-
came Of your kidney trouble and back
ache.

municipality owned services in the
United States. The gross revenue of
the plant this year will go way over
the 100000 mark and will probably
reach 1925, 200, an increase of about
$31, 900 over last year.
Plant Yields Profit.
The expenses of the plant this year
have been abnormal and both it's
lighting and power rates have been re-
duced, but nevertheless it will make
a handsome profit. This year $1,000
temporary loan, contracted for the
plant last year. has been paid off, the
south side lines have practically been
rebuilt, an addition is being made to
the plant and an appropriation has
been set aside out Of this years funds
for the construction of a new street
lighting system, to cost over $4,000
and to make Richmond one of the best
Illuminated cities in the country
Bulking in all these extraordinary ex-
penses, however, it is estimated the
plant will show a profit of between
$4,000 and $4,000.
This showing is made, as has been
mentioned, in face of the fact that the
lighting and power rates were reduced

CHARITY TO CLOSE
APPEAL NEXT week
Executive Committee De-
cides to Scout City for
Funds After Election.

The executive committee of the Cen
trail Charities bureau has decided to
wind up the funds campaign a week
after election.
This will be done with the aid Of 100
workers. The city will be districted
and all citizens not yet asked to sub
scribe will be seen by the workers.
The committee decided to end the
campaign in a day because the work
ers have failed to see many on their
lists. 1t has been impossible to secure
an accurate financial report because
many club women are working and
have not turned in reports.
The date of the campaign day and
the details will be planned at a later
meeting of the committee.
Manila has abolished billboards.

opening Of the baseball season In the
major leagues. the curtain IL raised to-
morrow on the beginning of the race
for the Western League pennant. To-
peka starts on the long journey at
home. and with Wichita, its time-hon-
ored and worthy rival in baseball and
other activities, for an opponent.
Friendship usually ceases when base
ball bats are crossed. But just the
same, the bulk of the Topeka fans are
loyal Kansans first of all and deep
down in their hearts they are hoping
that Wichita has crackertack OF q
team this year, not quite good enough
to beat out the Kaws for the state
baseball championship. but one that
will make nearly as good a showing
in the Western League as the Topeka
team and thereby help to place the
state Of Kansas in a position of promi.
hence on the baseball map. And If, per-
chance, Fate or something else has
fixed things SO that the Kaws will not
amount to much this year, the fans
OF Topeka will be found roofing hard
that the Wichita team may prove equal
to the task Of maintaining the base
ball honor Of the commonwealth.
And 1t looks as though 1t will have
to be Fate. with its inexplicable ways
that will put a jinx on the Kaws this
year II one Is placed there. The back
ers Of baseball in this city, in the face
Of considerable disbursement, have
done their part.

Those who should know. are Of the
opinion that he has done his work we'll.
The prospects for a good team here
have seldom seemed brighter. It seems
q first division team for a surety. What
more could the fans reasonably ask?
Developing q winning ball team out
Of nothing. and that is practically what
Mr.. Gear had to begin with when he
came to Topeka. is not a job of a day,
nor even Of q season. For instance,
Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg Ma
tionals, has been looking for the right
kind Of a first baseman for IS years,
and has finally found him this year in
Konetchy. And the difficulties of get
ting and keeping suitable players for
minor league team are even greater for
variety Of obvious reasons. The eff
fort has certainly been made for To-
peka. Time alone will tell just how
successful 1t has been.
But the team looks good now. And
1t Is deserving OF the heartiest and most
generous support of the Topeka fans
during the early weeks Of the season
and until It proves beyond peradven-
ture that it il not worthy of support
or that a SUFFICIENT effort IL not being
made to strengthen 1t, in case that
should be necessary.
There should be a tremendous crowd
at the opening game tomorrow, and at
all the games in the opening series.
Nothing will give the team more en-
'couragement. The ball player, like the
actor. does his best work before the
biggest crowd. Only give the Topeka
team the idea that all Of Topeka Is
loyalty behind it, and its playing and
winning ability will be increased ma

VIA AIR TO EUROPE,

For several years past airmen have
hopefully looked to ''next year, as
the one in which the Atlantic Ocean
would be crossed in a vehicle of the
air. writes H. H. Windsor. in the May
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Each
year has brought its disappointment:
and while the feat will undoubtedly
be accomplished some day. It seems
unlikely that 1914 will be able to
credit that milestone to its records.
In some respects the event seems even
farther OF than three years ago.
While experienced explorers are at
this moment battling with untried
routes in the Antarctic, none of them
has either a dirigible or aeroplane
