effects of the fall in many parts of
her body.

GAS TRUST TREMBLES AS CITY
THREATENS TO PUSH SUIT
There's a 100000 cash prize
fight coming of in this town. The
last referee>in the fight is the supreme
court of Illinois, The judges of that
court will say who gets the 100000
900.
Mayor-Elect William Hale Thomp-
son says the fight is coming OFF. And.
he says he's going to throw his;
fiercest blows, the best punches he's
got, into winning the fight.
Here's where the $4,000, 600 prize
comes from The city council in 1911

Roger Sullivan and Sam insult said
it was a good ordinance. The coun-
Gil passed it.
Mr. S. InsuH the money man, and
Mr.. R. Sullivan, the politics man of
the gas company, got busy. They got
Injunction and other suits into diff
ferent courts. The gas company
charged the same old prices in the
same old way.
But this happened. A court order
commanded the gas company to pile
up in a separate pile all the money
that made the difference between 80
cent gas and the rates fixed in the
city ordinance.
This money has piled up till it
amounts to $40, 900, 900. That's what

place to house such departments

penses. He should not be ex-
pected to. If he is courteous
enough to give you credit, show
him equal courtesy by paying
him promptly and without max
ing him extra expense.
He has no security. What you
buy of him is soon consumed and
he cannot get it back. He trusts
you on your honor alone. Who
else does as much for you?
He asks no favors needs no
charity, but is entitled to a
square deal.
