for increase in the rate to be charged

prices they are paying for fnaterial,

Third—ft is the unanimous opinion
of this committee that the grade of

grade should be improved on, if pos-
sible to be donef 7 /
Now, that the loss to Palestine of
the gzs plant would prove a calamity
to our people, for reasons that are
too obvious for the necessity for this
committee to go to the trouble to
enumerate. Therefore, we beg leave
to submit to you the proposition to
allow, if you doom it fair and right
both to tbe gas company and the con
sumers, an increase in the ride of
20 per cent for the period^ of twelve
months, beginning on November 1,
1620, provided the ' gas : company
agrees to improve the grade of gas
they famish to consumers.

that no very material change could

FARTHER
The Evidence la At Your Door......
Palestine proof is what you want
and the statement of this highly re-
spected resident will banish all doubt:
C. L Smith, farmer, 117 Davis St.,
Palestine, says: “The first symptom-
of kidney complaint in my case was
backache, some three years ago. Many
times when I stooped over to pick op
anything, a sharp pain caught me in
the small of my back and my kidneys
were irregular and the secretions were
highly colored. I had vertigo spells
when black &pots came before my eyes.
I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills in
the paper and used three boxes from
Bratton’s Drug Stdre. They cured
me of the attack.” (Statement given
May 12, 1915.)
On May 27, 1919. Mr. Smith said:
"Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of kid-
ney complaint and I always recommend
them. I know there is nothing better
for kidney trouble.’’

WAS IUSTER OF PROFANITY
Intimate of Great Editor Declares
Swearing Was More Than a Bad
Habit With Him.
Joseph Pulitzer, the famous blind
founder of the New York World, was
not always a purist in language. \t
least re writes Charles Chapin, who
was for 20 years city editor of the
Evening World, in bis autobiography,
failed “Charles piapin's Story.”
“Sometimes when I was reading to
hhn he would become eaplosively pro-
fane." writes Chapin. ‘ “And how
shockingly that blind man could swear!
With him profanity was more-of an
art thah a vice. Onee when 1 bad read
something to him that made him angry
with the writer’s stupidity he swore so
passionately and so loud and grew so
choleric and red to the face that 1
feared something inside of him might
snap.
“Suddenly he checked himself and
pricked up his ears. There were angry
voices In ad adjoining room. One of
his young sons was having a run-in
with his tutor and was forcibly telling
what he thought of him. A peculiar
expression, a mixture of annoyance
and amftaetneot came over my employ-
er's countenance.
“ ‘Dear me,’ he said, i wonder where
that boy learned to swear.’ He didn’t
utter another oath during the remain-
der of my visit.”
Combustible's Many Uses.
It the farmer can’t make the old
-horse go on straw and corncobs per-
haps he can run his car, his tractor
and bis stationary engine with gas
made from them. That’s tbe problem
the department of agriculture is strug-
gling with, says the Nation’s Business
Already its experimenters have run an
adtomobile with the new combustible
and u$ed If for lighting and cooking.
If tlte results of these tests warrant
feather investigation the experiments,
will be extended to the problem of
plant equipment for producing the gas
on g scale sufficient to allow the farm-
er to supply light and heat for his
house, power for stationary pnrines
and possibly for his tractor from a
sfball individual outfit. If a suitable
■nnlt can he constructed it seems likely
that the straw gas may have a certain
economic value in the sections of the
country where the raw material from
which the gas is made is now con-
sidered as waste and burned or left
to rot.
