Reviewing the testimony before the
committee thus far in the state tour,
Mr.. Mccormick declared that the
people of Illinois are satisfied with the
principles of the utilities act.
Minor changes have been sug-
gested.' >" Mr.. Mccormick said, 'but the
main features Of the utilities act sat-
isfy the people. There is a mistaken
idea in the state as to the purpose of
this tour. People have come to the
idea that we are seeking sentiment on
home rule Home rule is only one of
the amendments suggested.
Six Against Home Rule.
"The people in Illinois, l believe, are
not opposed to home rule for Chicago.
In the trip thus far only six persons
have spoken against it. Four are at
| torneys for public utilities companies.
zone of the amendments suggested
is to change the law so as to bring
about speedier adjudication in matters
presented to the commission. 1t is a
good point 1t shows that there is a
demand in Illinois to increase the
membership of the commission so that
it can do more work and dispose of
proceedings more quickly.
Another amendment which has
! been suggested is that commissioner
sit in cities other than Springfield and
/ Chicago. For instance, in minor mat
tiers that come before the body, instead
| Of having a hearing in Chicago, one
might be held in Rock Island, Peoria,

lent.

! tracts"

this morning by calling on Colonel

Zer7o for Dandruf

You do not want a slow treatment
when hair is falling and the dandruf
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
zemo for 25c or $1.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe
is not greasy, is easy to use and will not
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
full, as they contain alkali The best
thing to use is zemo, for it is pure and
also inexpensive.
