Editor Times-Just giving eight
laws Of health: Sleep right, eat
right, think right, breathe right,
drink right, exercise right, internal
and external baths We grow old
when we begin to slow down. We
should keep our minds and bodies
n condition to be on deck 500 days
In the year, as mind reigns supreme.
Multitudes who find health Slip
ping overeat and use the wrong
combinations of foods for the right
elimination. Where there is perfect
drainage there is no illness and no
disease can exist in chemicalizcd
blood stream. Internal baths will
help nature by washing away the
poison from the filthy sewer that
has been clogged.
Acidosis and toxicocis are the
basis causes for all diseases. To have
a clean, strong mind, you must have
clean, strong body. Baths should
be taken daily, as q clean system
is a healthy one. Calcium and iron
are the two most vital health-build-
ing elements in the human body.
You can eat all good foods in tlar-
monious combinations and build a
strong body. Eat red salmon for
iodine, plenty OF raisins for iron,
and all the raw foods in season,
fruit for the organic system.
DO women choose weak. dull men
for mateSP Never. Healthy women
and men thrill and stir the blood.
That is why we want to remain
young, with healthy, clean bodies.
With the filth go the germs, or
else sickness, old age, and death
long before your time.
MRS. M. G.. SCOTT.
Editor Times-As a strong advo~
cate of municipal ownership Of
water and gas utilities, I have read
with pleasure and interest your re-
marks and information published
regarding the Citizens Gas Com
pany. However, your editorial en-
titled Good Faith" In Fridays issue
is, I believe, unjust to many OF the
certificate (stock) holders.
You state therein: 1.-THE men who
invested their money in the certifi-
Gates have received their interest at
a high rate" AS a matter OF fact,
about ten years ago the Citizens
Gas Company issued one million
dollars worth of certificates. Under
the franchise terms, this issue was
sold by auction, some banks taking
the entire allotment at a little less
than $40 a share and reseiling 1t TO
small investors at a Slight advances
The premium on the stock, every
cent of it, went into the gas COM
pany Golfers. Thus the truth Is that
certificate holders tat least half OF
thenl) have received 6 per cent (not
l0) upon their investment, and II,
as you suggest, the city takes over
the works, and redeems the cerifl-
Gates at $25 each, the investors
will lose SIS share, which VIII
mean that they will have received
less than Q per cent upon their
original outlay.
It may be urged that they knew
the risks they took when maxim
the purchase, but few of them,
venture to say, gave even a though
to the fact that the city might IN
sist upon "its pound of flesh with
in such a short period of tin1eE
Indeed, in such case, you hards
could blame the stockholders for in
sisting, on their part, that the sur
render of their franchise nullifled
the agreement with the city.
