While there are outstanding certif-
ates of indebtedness aggregating ST.
$50. o.7o4.500, they were issued in direct
anticipation of the payment Of income

"The current deficit excess of dis
bursements over receipts, exclusive of
principal on public debt for January,

amounted to only $92 955 ,669.77, the
lowest figure since March, 1917, Tex

while the current surplus excess of
receipts over disbursements, exclusive

highest figure in the history of the

Darkness Envelops Chicago

CHICAGO, Feb. s-The darkness of
night has enve!oped Chicago since sun
set Thursday. At noon to-day the Loop
district virtually was as black as last
midnight, the suns efforts to pierce the
heavy veil of smoke which hung over
the city being unavailing.
The Weather Bureau explained that,
while there is no fog in this district,
the barometric pressure was 80 heavy
the smoke did not rise to it's accus-
toned heights.
Automobi'es and street cars, like
office buildings and homes, had to keep
all lights burning, though the street
lights were turned off at the regular
hour in the morning. As result
pedestrians were scarcely visible at
distance

Cummins Bill as Mini
mum of Financial Safety

rom The Tribu,e's Washington, Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - Though
railroad revenues in 1919 passed the
nve billion dollar mark, new high
record for receipts, the high cost of
labor and material ate up so large
part Of the income that the net return
on the total railroad investment fell to
~ per cent, a new low record accord
ing TO an advance forecast of the
operating results of the second year of
government operation.
Under the provisions Of the new
Cummins-Esch railroad act. now being
finally drafted by the joint conference
committee of the Interstate Commerce
committees of Congress, a net return
of 51a per cent on the $4,000 900 900
railroad investment will be fixed as the
minimum of financial safety. This
minimum is just double the 2% per
cent the roads were able to earn in
1919.
First Steps In Reorganization
The first steps in the reorganization
OF the railroad administration prepar-
atory to returning the roads to their
owners March were taken to-day with
the establishment Of a division of
llquidation claims and the abolition of
the division of capital expenditures, ef-
fectlve February l5.
The liquidation division was placed
In charge Of Max Thelan, director of
the public service division and formerly
chairman of the California State Utili-
ties Commission

cost Of living on railroad earnings is

.U-BOAT PRISONER
TELLS EXPERIENCE
Officer of Ill-Fated U. S. Neptune,
Gives Story of Remarkable
Adventure and Recovery

Richard Cannon Chief Petty Officer
of the u S, S. Neptune, whose drama
tic capture at sea by a German u
Boat and subsequent experiences
aboard the submarine and in a Ger
man prison hospital, thrilled the entire
country, is still another world war hero
to test the remarkable reconstructive
powers of Tanlac and give it his
strong endorsement Mr. Cannon's
adventures were so narrowing that his
constitution was completely shattered
but after months of suffering he has
now regained the wonderful health
that enabled him to pull through his
adventures alive and is today the same
strapping two hundred pound fighter
that embarked on the Inflated collier,
But let him tell his own story:
when the Neptune was torpedoed
off the Irish coast" said Mr.. Cannon,
who now lives at 707 E. Lafayette,
Tampa, Fla, II had my right leg and
five ribs broken by the explosion, and
when | came to my senses | found
myself on board a submarine for five
months, and you can imagine what l
must have suffered when l tell you
that l fell off in weight from two
hundred and twenty-five to a hundred
and thirty-one pounds When l was
repatriated and finally got my dis
charge in February, 1919, l was little
better than a living skeleton. 1 had
no appetite and my digestive system
was so upset that what little l did eat
always gave me severe pains in the pit
of my stomach, but after what 1 went
through my nerves were so shattered
that l couldn't keep still a minute,
and the slightest thing upset me. For
six months l continued in this condi-
ton, unable to pick up strength, and
so weak that any attempt at work
tired me out completely. l began to
think that l should never be a well
and strong man again
But the way Tanlac overcame my
troubles and built me up was nothing
short of marvellous 1t gave me such
an appetite that 1 wanted to eat all
the while, and I sure did make up for
lost time. l had no more bother with
indigestion and from then on l picked
up strength and put on weight until
now | tip the beam at two hundred
and four pounds and am as we'll ant
strong as l ever was before l joined the
service NV nerves are as steady as {
die and I'm like my old self again
Tanlac is certainly grand medicine
and l think every suffering person
ought to thry it"
Tanlac is sold in Middlebury by
c. O. Frost and in Salisbury by A
n Partlow- ADV.
