Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
DR.. Caldweil's Syrup Pepsin
Effective as a Remedy
for Consultation

Among older people the various
organs Of the body have a tendency
to slow up and weaken, and this is
usually first manifest In pronounced
inactivity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regu-
larity in this important function;
whenever there Is the slightest indi-
cation of constipation mild laxative
should be taken to relieve the con-
eestion and dispose of the accumulat-
ed waste. Cathartics or purgatives
should not be employed, however;
these are too violent in action and
their effect is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combin-
alton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup PcpSin. is the ideal remedy. It
is gentle in its action. bringing relief
in an easy, natural manner, without
gripping or other pain or discomfort, is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ
tanned In any drug store.
Mr.. Robert LeForgee, 918 Kirkwood
Boulevard, Davenport. Iowa, says he
has always had bottle of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in the house for
The past eighteen"years, and that by
using it occasionally as the need
arises, and in this way keeping his

QUESTION Of the private plant. Fol-
these twelve months our average n
come per K. w. H. sold was .O3l0
1.410,65S X. w. H. was the amount OF
business We received f-on the private
plant for the nine months operation
which we received $46,oO000.
Report Shows the Cost.
Our cost per x. w. H. generated and
delivered was .01236 which would
make the total operating expense Of
the business we obtained from the
private plant $17.435.73. In order not
to get confused with our annual re.
port which shows our cost per X. w
H. generated and delivered .011135;
this, however, represents the aMcilnt
of money expended during the year
The actual operating expense for the
year 1916 should be $S1,874.64, which
we show In our report $74,660.32. The
difference between those two items is
coal. We actually paid out $23,479.95
for coal during the year 1916, but the
actual amount used at boilers was
S3O,89427 which will make differ
ence in the actual amount of coal pur-
chased and the actual amount used OF
s7,21432.
The reason that. we did not show
this In our Annual report was because
we had to show the actual amount OF
money expended, irrespective of the
amount OF coal consumed But in
order to get the true, actual conditions,
we are taking the operating expenses
in this instance Just as they actually
are, irrespective of the amount OF
money expended.
Plant Shows Big Profit.
After deducting the operating ex-
pense from the additional load that
we obtained from the private plant,
you will note that we have profit of
s27,56427 for the nine months opera.
ton, or II per cent. plus on the amount
paid for their property.
The records will show during the
condemnation proceedings that the
city stated that they would make. at
least. s27 ,0a0.0O a year on the bust
ness that the city would obtain by ac-
curing the private plant. and you will
note that the city has made good its
promise to the people. And Just as
soon as we get the new equipment
that is now being installed at our plant
in operation, we will be able to make
n greater profit from the business that
we have obtained from the acquisition

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use il just plain
,nulsified cccoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely gfeaseless. It's
very cheap. and beats the most expen-
siye soaps or any thing else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rut it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh-looking,
bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to ham
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust. dirt and
dandruff.

aries Of the city officials, amouat to
$4,000. and also s2,095.3S was paid
to cover the Rau case which has been
pending in the Supreme court tor sew
eral years, and IS part OF the operating
expense; which Is over $4,600.00 more
than Wnat the plant has ever borne IN
any other year since the operation OF
theh city plant.
Thus. you will readily see from this
report that every promise that the city
made to the people has been more than
fully realized.

Production Cost Lowered.
As you will note. the cost Of pro-
duction is little over .O06 per e. w.

the new equipment in operation to
bring the cost of production down to
1904 per X. w. H. at the switchboard.
We have sold s23.549.77 worth OF
equipment from the private plant.
However, we have not received full
payment yet, but substantial amount
has been paid on the old equipment
sold. We have every reason to believe
that the city, including the building,
will realize from the sale of the old
equipment that 1t does not use $40.
