Is the firm conviction Of the stree

must accord very closely with these
two valuations made for the city
OF Detroit.
"Mr. Bancroft did not value M4

Since his interview in The Times
last week, declaring that the Bar
croft and Bemis appraisals are
much alike in their valuations of
items which appear in both. and
the subsequent discussion OF his
statement in campaign meetings,
Secretary Jay Hayden, Of the street
railway board, has carried his com
parsons OF similar items in the two
appralsals further into detail.
The Bemis and Bancroft apprais-
ais are in practical agreement so
far as they cover the same prop
erty," says Hayden, "as will be seen
from the following comparisons:
"Dr Bemis, in 1914, found 622
double-truck. closed passenger cars
In service. These he valued at ST.,
S11.391.90. or s2.9l2 90 per car
Nearly 400 Of these cars were pur-
chased new since 1909. Mr.. Bar
croft. in 1909. found $50 double
truck, closed cars, which he valued
at s662071.19, or s2,s7S.57 per car.
OR. Benis appraised 1877 single
truck. open cars at s106,S9797. or
s56S.96 per car. Mr.. Bancroft ap-
praised 230 single-truck, open cars

OR. Bemis appraised 400 single
truck, closed cars at s57S,S5S.97, or

praised SIS single-truck. closed cars
at 1862 ,o711s. or s2.S7S.57 per car.
"Dr. Bemis appraised the equip

Appetite Follows
 Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and the digestive organs are abused, resulting in a conges- ton of poisonous waste that clogs the bowels and causes much mis- cry and distress.
 The most effective remedy to correct this condition is the com bination of simple laxative herbs with Lepsin, known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This is a natural, pleasant-tasting remedy, gentle yet positive in action. and quickly re- lieves indigestion, constipation, sick headache, belching, etc Drug stores sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Peusin at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and i'm thousands of homes it is the indispensable family remedy.
