GUESTS ESCAPE FIRE
At RICHMOND HOTEL
Damage Of More Than -, 900 Done
to Property Early This
Morning.
senator Carroll 8. Page At the Capitol

Considerable excitement was caused
among guests of the Richmond Hotel,
18th and H streets northwest. by an
early morning fire. All Of the guests
got out Of the building in safety. 1t
is estimated the damage from fire and
water would be between $1,000 and
$4,000.
The IRE, which had been burning
for some time before it was discov-
ed. started In q public bathroom on
the hfth floor. It burned through into
an airshaft and thence to the upper
floor. Fire Marshal Watson said the
fire melted the water pipes in the
bathroom. which resulted In the water
flowing to the lower floors and caus-
ing much damage.
The fire was discovered by a clerk
in the hotel about o'clock this morn
ing. He sounded an alarm and notified
the guests. Another clerk operated an
elevator and took many of the guests,
OF which there were about seventy
Ave in the hotel, to the lower floor.
Others went down by the stairway.
This Is the second 6re that has oc-
CURED at the hotel in the past two
years. The last was on the afternoon
Of February 10. 1919. when q lighted
cigar or cigarette thrown into q
room on the fourth floor caused fire
which resulted in $4,000 damage.

hotel, lost small box containing q
silver and pearl necklace and two

loaf formerly weighing fifteen and

seventeen and one-half ounces and
will sell for II cents wholesale. its
former price being cents.
In a statement issued by the De-
partment of Justice, it Is said that
the increase in cost to the consumer
Is practically offset by the increase in
the weight Of the standard loaf The
approximate increase in the price of
bread Is II per cent"
Members OF the advisory board We're
convinced that the master bakers are
entitled to an increase in the price
of bread as result Of the recent
award increasing labor costs by giving
the journeymen bakers a raise in
wages. The advancing price OF sugar.
flour and other ingredients entering
into the manufacturing costs were
also taken into account in granting
the increase.

PHONE RATE RAISE
THOUGHT CERTAIN
Little Doubt Felt That Public
Utilities Commission Will
Grant Increase.

Little doubt exists that the Public
Utilities Commission will grant the
plea of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company for higher rates
after June I.
At the two-day hearing which came
to q close yesterday afternoon the
company presented evidence to show
that it is earning less than 2 per cent
on what regards as the present-day
value of its property.
One of the chief points for the
commission to decide Is whether the
company has properly calculated its
present physical value. In 1916 the
commission fixed the fair value Of the
more than $s,ooo.ooo Tho company
contends that since that year addi-
tons to it's plant have raised the fair
value for rate-making purposes to
more than $12.ooO.ooo.
May Revise Inereases.
1t is possible that If the commits
sion finds the company needs relief
1t may revise the schedule of proposed
increases for which the company is
asking.
While @. w. whittemore, valua-
ton expert. was on the stand yester-
day afternoon, William NICK. Clay
ton Of the Federation Of Citizens AS
sociations sought to hnd out IL the
company could get along without
higher rates for the present by not
putting anything aside for deprecia-
ton this year.
Mr.. Whittemore testified that he
did not believe that would be a sound
policy. It is much safer for any
business, he said. to pay its bills as
it goes. He said the company follows
the rule Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which is to distribute
evenly throughout the life Of a plant
the depreciation on that plant.
The theory of postponing deprecia-
ton allowances might be carried to
the point Of putting the entire cost
Of reproducing the plant on the rate
payers during the year in which re-
placement of the plant becomes nee
essary.
Would OMIT Depreciation.
Mr.. Clayton took the position that
since the company now has q sub
be done the company by emitting,
depreciation allowance during the
present abnormal period.

Feeling Bad

whats the matterl" ooh, I don't
know. Just feel bad. Not what you
would call sick. only stupid, sleepy and
sluggish. Don't feel like doing any
thing" These conditions are truly
nuisances, and it is a false notion to
think that you are sick every time you
feel bad. For health is queer crea-
ture; it seldom remains in perfect
condition, nurse or abuse it as you
choose, it always acts according to its
own laws. These feeling bad conditions
are often due to changes of the season
of the year. like spring, when the sap
is going up and the feeling. bad is going
down. They are due largely to the de-
posts of invisible little crystals of Uric
Acid in the blood and kidneys. These
little crystals are at times very irritat-
ing. and unless removed are going to
make you sluggish and feel bad all over.
Get rid of them at once by flushing them
out with suitable remedies, not the
kind that hurts you but hurts them, and

 We will state for the benefit of those who do not know him. ..that Claud was born in Hurrican township and has lived there all his life. He is a son of J. O. Mainard. one of the county's most successful farmer an d ex- cellent citizen. Having receiv- ed a splendid education in his home district school and at the Charleston High School. he holds a first grade certificate and has taught successfully for the past ten years most of the time in his home district. He has studied farming carefully and has made a decided success in tilling the soil. which he has followed all his life.
 In the spring of 1918 Claud volunteered his services to Uncle Sam and was sent to the first training detachment at the Un- iversity of Arkansas. Upon completing his course he was assigned to the 466th, Engineers (Ponton Train) at Washington Barracks, D. c. and it was with this company that he went to. served in and returned from France. This company won d is- tinguished favor at the Marine.
 He comes of a family of demo- crats, and so far as he knows he is the only one of his kin who has ever asked for or held public office yet they have always taken an active interest in politics and will always stand hitched. When the party speaks they bow to the will of the majority and support the nominees. Claud Mainard is a young man who is in every way qualified to discharge the duties of this important office and should he be elected the fi- nances of the county will be in safe hands.
