INDUSTRIAL GAS
Schmidt Says Home Cook

First in Emergencies.

Curtaiiment OF service during times OF
gas shortage to industrial plants, added
within the pas six months. in the order
Of their addition, as a means Of assur-
ing better service TO domestic gas con-
sumers. was advocated by Gustav G..
Schmidt. president of the city council,
today.
Mr.. Schmidt announced that he is at
tempting to have Friday set as the date
for the conference Of the council gas
committee with the public service com
mission on the affairs Of the Citizens Gas
Company.
Meantime the council committee will be

Discovery that preparations are being
made for the laying Of a four-ineh main
10 the new plant OF the Westinghouse
Lamp Company at Washington and Gray
streets led Mr.. Schmidt to state his posi-
tion upon the matter Of extending gas
service to Industrial concerns.
at IS not right for the gas company
to be laying mains which viii add mate
rally to the industrial load It IS carry
| ing. when the eompany's own officials
have stated in public that they can not
increase their production with the pres
lent facilities" said Mr.. Schmidt
Instead Of adding to their industrial
consumers l think the gas company
should be made to prepare TO shut OF
this class in times Of shortage.
Il think that whenever such an emer-
/ gency arises as that which delayed the
! suppers OF the whole community last
week the company should be made to
shut of these big Industrial consumers
which 1t has been adding recently"
The council head stated he also in
tends to find out. IL possible, just who
( the biggest industrial consumers are and
what amounts of gas they are using.
citing paragraph c OF section 6S7 of the
franchise OF the Citizens Gas Company,
in which the city controller is given the
right to examine its books at any time.
WANTS POSITION
CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD
With this section Mr.. Schmidt pointed
out the council has the power to order
the city controller to look into the mat
ter not only OF the amount OF gas used
by industrial consumers. but also. pos

whether there is anything irregular in
the manner in which the company dis
poses Of its coke and other by-produets
from which three-fourths of it's income is
derived
Mr.. Schmidt added that he does not
desire to be considered as holding that
the company should not provide gas for
industries at all.
Il do hold. however" he said that IL
the present gas-producing capacity is not
great enough to care for these industries
and the domestic consumers also the in
dustrics should be shut of IN times of
shortage and the company should be tax

its facilities so that both domestic and
industrial consumers may be cared for

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided
That on This Occasion He Would
Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France that
have been printed in the Atlantic
Monthly there is to be found this en-
pertaining episode:
The code of the German officers is.
never to surrender; but of course they
cannot live up to it. In a recent raid
a sergeant / know made prisoner
of a German captain who, as they
walked to the rear, cursed his luck
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught upawares, that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.
"Stop here, my captain, and let us
consider this" said the sergeant seri-
ously. "There are several articles of
your equipment to which my fancy
runs. That watch, for instance, those
leather puttees, and that fat purse
saw you change to your hip pocket.
Perhaps l can oblige you and crafty
my whim Suppose you were suddenly
to run-a quick shot would save your
honor, and me the trouble of escorting
you to the rear. And / am an excel
lent shot, assure yOu."
But the German was not interested.

Old Time Leaders ENDORSED and
Al Sea Regarding Outcome
of Convention.
Big THREE IN DEADLOCK
Republican National Convention Opens
Under Conditions Of Uncertainty,
Unparalleled In Recent Poll
tical History.

Chicago-The old time leaders uIl.
horsed, and its favorites for presidency
deadlocked, the Republican party
opened its national convention here
under conditions of uncertainty I'M
paralleled in recent political history
Embossed and largely unorganized,
the delegates were asking one another
in what direcll0n they were straying
and when MEMBER would arise to
lead them out of the wilderness of
their own INDIGESTION.
Amid the noisy turmoil of conyen-
tfon eve, the only definable trend
seemed to be driving Wood, Lowden
and Johnson into a deadlock fight
which it was recognized everywhere
might destroy them all. The old
timers rejecting that it is but a step
from a deadlocked convention to
stampeded convention wondered what
might happen next unless some tried
and trusted leader settled himself Sc
curely in the saddle. Many were re-
calling the Chicago convention of
1880 when the favorites were all de-
serted after a deadlock of 35 ballots
and James A. Garfield who had won
the convention by nominating speech
was nominated
Talk of dark horse, in which some
of the more experienced practical poll
ticians joined, began to revolve with
an increasing frankness about the dis
closures of the Senates investigation
of campaign expenditures. At many
scattering conferences those who adj
vocated dark horse nomination pre-
dictated that in the end no man whose
name was involved at all in the evil
dence of the investigating committee
could be put before the country as the
| party's choice.
In the main, however, the leaders,
| and near leaders, caucused and con-
| ferred and brought forth nothing. Even
those who held the whip hand over a
few delegates here and there seemed
unable to get together with the other
| greater and lesser potential dictators
| of party policy. The result was a
foggy picture of the possibilities. 1t
became apparent that unless there was
| dramatic and unexpected change the
first ballot will record votes for be-
| tween Is and 20 candidates for the pre-
sidency with scarcely more than half
| enough to nominate in the Wood, Low
den or Johnson colmun

PROOF THAT STONE GROWS
Rock on California Farm Has In
creased in Weight Within the
Memory of Settlers.

On the farm of Mr.. James Cham
pion, known as the old home place of
his father, John Champion, boys used
to meet years ago with The elder
Champion, and often tossed a round
stone, ball fashion, one to another.
The same stone now lies in the yard,
at the old place, and men now in their
eighties often speak of this rock end
identify it as the stone they used to
toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 300
pounds and lies near the spot where it
has lain for nearly a century. Some
of the most substantial old men of
Mercer county who are now living
will vouch that this rock has grown
from a small stone to its present size
since their babyhood days.-Wilmore

Fla Culture in United States.

1t is not improbable that this coun-
try will soon produce all the figs it
needs. This statement is made by the
chief of the bureau of plant industry,
United States department of agricul-
ture, in his report on the progress of
Smyrna fig culture in California.
Much of the success of this enterprise
has been due to the fact that the de-
partment has been able to maintain
a caprifg orchard at Loomis from
which caprifigs have been distributed
free TO growers.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
l had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. / tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January got
so bad that what / would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day / read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as was going
to work at p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
threefourths gone, l felt fine and when it
was used up had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.
Now / write to tell you how thankful /
am that / heard of EATONIC. feel like
. new man; / eat what / like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at all.
