FARE BOOST NEEDED
TO BETTER SERVICE
Bankers Won't Lend Money
Until Assured of Raise,
Wreco Pleads.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company cannot raise a dollar to
purchase new equipment and improve
its service until assurance is given
bankers and investors that a raise in
rates will be forthcoming. from the
Public Utilities Commission to meet
the almost doubled cost of operation
in the last few years.
This is the keynote OF the discus
sion OF the traction company's prob
lens at meeting of the noteholders'
protective committee. held in the New
Willard yesterday, according to reIi-
able information obtained today.
Admitting that the company is Civ
ing poor service and that il is oper-
ating no more cars or crews than il
did two years ago. since which time
the population OF the city has in
creased over % per cent, it IS con-
tended that the company must have
money in order to buy more cars. re-
pair its roadbed, hire more men, and
improve the service in general.
Banks Refuse Loan.
Bankers will not lend the company
a dollar while a 5-cent fare is in eff
feet. Shareholders will not put up
any more money while the value of
the securities they hold is dwindIing.
The public wants service common
surate with what it will have to pay
with increased service in effect. Civic
bodies are fighting a raise in rates
while the present poor service is be-
ing afforded
AS an alternative, the Federation OF
Citizens Associations proposes that
the two street car companies be con-
solidated and operated by the Govern
ment
The Public Utilities Commission is
between two fires. IT realizes the
company must have increased reye-
nues. but also realizes its duty to the
public will prevent granting a or a
I-cent fare for 5-cent service.
Bankers Offer Solution.
Bankers who have taken a hand in
solution is raise in rates which will
enable the company to raise money
for increased equipment. extended
lines and better service. They in turn
are willing to guarantee to the public
improvement in service if increased
rates are granted.
In defining the committees attitude
in the matter today, William f. Cad
wallader, of the Commercial National
Bank, secretary of the committee
said: I'VE believe the Washington pub
lie will be willing to pay increased
fares for good service"
Mr.. Cadwallader declared officials
of the company had shown every will
ingness to cooperate by furnishins
figures. statistics. and holding their
books open for inspection of the com
mittee at all times.

SUMMING UP THE EVIDENCE
Many Denison People Have Been
Called As Witnesses

Week after week has been published
the testimony OF Denisoni people
kidney sufferers-backache victims
people who have endured many forms
Of kidney, bladder or urinary disor-
ders. These witnesses have used
Doan's Kidney Pills. All have given
their enthusiastic, approval. It's the
same everywhere. $4,000 American
men and women are publicly recon-
mending Doan's- always in the home
papers. Isn't it wonderful, convinc-
ing mass of proof? If you are SUI
ferer your verdict must be "Try

Mrs. c. E. Parrish, 500 w. Pine
st, says: "At different times have
taken Doan's Kidney Pills for attacks
Of kidney trouble and they have done
me good. I have taken different medi-
cines but Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured from the Lamborn Drug Store,

the others. highly recommend them

II Kidneys Act
!" :: =: :. B Bal, Take I Salts
Says 6aekache 10 a Sign You Have
Been Eeatings Too. Much Meat,
Which Forms Uric Acid @

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort OF paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backacile, sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. =, The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment. channels Of
ten get sore, water scaMs and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night, 49,.
! Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for q few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts IS made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon juice, com.
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraize
acids in the urine SO it no longer irri-
tates. thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer.

Gently we made it a point to drive in
to Deloit; wanted water for the

tie town, called upon Mr.. Martin, man.

We found him to be a most agreeable
gentleman, and the customers of the
new institution were being given ev-
cry courtesy and attention. Under
Mr.. Martins management the new
elevator is going to do a big business,
and much grain was being hauled in
the day we were there. The concern

about 700 pounds. George purchased
this animal from breeder near Oma-

BY the way, if any breeder wishes to
secure a good hog, this one is for sale,
although George didn't tell us to put
this in the paper AS side issue, and
merely to see what he could do,
George put in Is acres Of pop corn

The so-called victory loan bill pass
ed congress during the last few days
of the life of the 65th congress. 1t
calls for "a popular loan Of six or
seven billion to be floated similarly
to the plans adopted for the floating
of the Liberty loan. 1t will be hard
to work up the same enthusiasm for
this last bond flotation that marked
the campaigns that pushed over the
previous loans, and people will not
have the same incentive to invest.
And yet for the man of limited means
who. is DESTROYS of saving there is
not more inviting investment than
in these government bonds.

No question of national Importance
has so stirred up public men and the
private citizen as this League of Ma
tons proposition that is now before
congress for ratification or at least
consideration. Party lines have Deen
largely lost sight Of in the war of
words that Is waging throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Able
men, men supposed to be well versed
in constitutional law. differ on the
subject. There is an element that
declares that the constitution as
drawn up for the establishment of a
League of Nations is the most poten-
tial document for the lasting good of
mankind that has ever been formulat-
ed by human mind, while others see
in 1t the most sinister blow at The
liberty of America that has ever
threatened the country. Ard these
statements so utterly at variance
coming from men in whom the people
nave placed much reliance, both on
account of their patriotism and ac-
knowiedged ability as s,"tesmen
leaves the rank and file o. the popu-
lation in great doubt as - the ex-
pediency Of accepting the proposal as
drawn up. That a division of senti-
ment exists was to be exl ected. No
reform, no matter how beneficial or
advantageous, has ever been suggest
ed that has not found virulent oppo-
sition. No proposal that had for its
object the betterment Of conditions
was ever presented to state or nation
but that it found man who could see
nothing but evil in the proposition
The great English magma charter and
the constitution that welded thirteen
colonies into nation that has grown
to be the greatest on the globe found
many and bitter opponents. This at
tack upon the League of Nations was
to be expected. 1t is in its tirst draft
and is open to amendment and no
doubt requires modification in some
points. Yet the fact remains that this
great war was fought in vain If some
of nations does not grow
out OF 1t by which wars in the future
can be averted, or at least such re-
strictions provided that general war
be almost an impossibility. The

The peace conference figures out
that the central powers should be as
sessed 24.000.G00.000 pounds sterling,
which amounts to something in the
neighborhood of $12O,O0O,OOO 600. for
the damage they have inflicted upon
the allies during the war. That is a
pretty healthy touch, but no more
than the Central Powers deserve. BY

from the trend of the news receiv-
cd from Germany there is no stability
to present organized government.
There is still strong royals. organ
ization existing " that country that
may, secure the upper hand at any
time and recall the kaiser. 1t is diff
ficult for the people to accept and
adjust themselves to a so-called DEM
ocratic system Of government. For
so many generations they have been
under the domination of a single head,
have kotowed subiAissively to the
dominant military, class, have recog-
nized and accepted as part of their
life class distinction. that so radical
a change in national life is hard for
them to understand and harder for
sudden adaptation. Under the kaiser
the nation was to all intents and pur-
poses unified. and the factions that
did exist were subservient to the
crown. Now the population is torn
up into innumerable parties with Diff
ferent ideas as to the manner and
method of conducting the government.
with large element of anarchistic
that favor no government
at all. With the internal discord and
without friend among the nations
of the earth Germany is in an unen-
viable position today, thanks to the

tary cOadjutors and advisers.
