The stage IL rapidly being eet for
a battle royal in the hearing rooms
of the House District COMMITTEES
and the Public Utilities Commits.
sion II the Washington Gas Light
Company should petition for q
higher rate this winter.
Representative Thomas L. Bian.
ton. Of Texas. said today that when
the time comes he will be ready to
champion the public's cause in tke
District COMMITTEES hearings.
Mr.. Blanton said other business
would not permit him to go into the
controversy in any detail at the
present time but that he would be
glad to receive any information on
the matter which the citizens OF
Washingtca might care to place at
his disposal.
The reyaIuation Of the washing

IT.. vice chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission. stated today.
It IL likely. Mr.. Brand continued,
that the new valuation will be
higher than the present one Of SIS.
100000. ''If the new valuation Is
sufficiently high, 1 think the gas
company would be entitled to q
higher rate If that il necessary to

Mr.. Brand pointed out that only
three other cities in the East-Balti-
more, Buffalo and Birmingham

factory by-products and natural gas

the installation of a new and very mod
ern and efficient X-ray equipment and
his offices are in every way modern and
properly arranged.
During the past few months an ever
increasing number of people have come
to realize the benefits of chiropractic
treatments and DR.. Call has found it
necessary to install additional me-
chanical aids in his offices.
This chiropractor believes in his
profession, is sure that he can success
fully treat large number OF ailments
and is willing to prove to his patients
that his treatments are worth taking.
He spends much time in studying the
latest discoveries in the science and in
making use of the best authorities OBJ
tainable.
He is a subscriber to the best and
newest publications concerning chiro-
practic and makes it point TO read
enough on each new discovery to decide
in his own mind its merits before
adopting the methods and forms of
treatment it recommends.
All that DR.. Call asks is a chance
to work ON any case long enough to
establish whether or not he is getting
results and it is his especial pleasure to
receive cases that have tried other
methods of cure and have failed, for
. in these he finds a challenge to his
own skill and to the claims of his pro-
fession. He accepts that challenge and
goes continually forward to prove that
he can accomplish much toward MAX
ing his patients more healthy.
