Price Put Too Hieh.

Chicago, April 10. - Editor The
Argus: We note in your valued paper
of April 10 an item telling of the pur-
chase of the lungmotor by the city of
Aledo. You state this apparatus was
purchased at price of nearly $500"
We desire to correct this impression.
The lungmotor outfit complete with
oxygen generator costs $3.50. Without
oxygen generator the price is $I35.
You are probably aware that your city
also has lungmotor, which was in
stalled in August OF last year. We
shall appreciate it if you can see fit to
correct this item, as it may cause a
misunderstanding, which might be
harmful to the sale OF our device.
Thanking you for anything you may
do in the matter and assuring you of
our readiness to serve you at all times,
we are. Yours very truly,

majority to support him in the senate
of the 65th Congress, but working

il appears that the house will be al
most evenly divided between the Dem

handful Of seniindependents holding
the balance Of power.
Revised returns at midnight show
that the president will have 2f5 Dem
