GUARANTEED TWO YEARS
Most automobile starting bat-
teries are puaranteed for only 90
days to 6 months, some 12 months.
The Philco Slotted Retainer is
guaranteed for 2 years
Like the Cord Tire it not only
lasts longer than the guarantee
but all during its life can be de-
pended upon for more reliable ser-
vice.
Two exclusive patented features
are the Diamond Grid and the
Philco Slotted Retainer. First,
the Diamond Grid is built like a
bridge, gives the strength to re-
sist strain of sudden discharge
and to withstand the jolting of
rough roads and hard service.
Second, the Philco Retainer is a
sheet of hard rubber closely per-
forated with long narrow slots,
placed against each positive plate
to prevent active material from
falling off the plates. This adds
25 per cent to the life of the bat-
tery.

Gas operations of the Lone Star Gaa
company netted a return equivalent
to 7.S7 P«r cent per annum on Its
property value of 16,723,287, according
to the report Saturday, made after an
audit of the company’s books, by Grov-
er C. Bland, chief accountant to the
supervisor of public utilities at Dal-
las. published by the Dallas News. The
report covers a period of operation for
12 months ending Nov. 80. 1818.
The News says:
The bone Star Gas company opened
its books for this audit only under
the condition that the gas oper-
ations alone be made public. The fig-
ures refer only to gas operations, al-
though an ideii' of the return* for that
12-month period could be drawn from
a supplementary report made by fid
C. Connor, chief engineer to the «tl-
pervtoor, showing the return for the 12
months ending Dec. 31. 1918, was 8 20
per cent on all operations of fho com-
pany.
The average rate of return from all
operations of the company, as slmwn
by the report, for the period from June
1909 to December. 1918 would be ap-
f proximately the same as shown by the
report of Edward W. Bemis of Chica-
go in 1816. At that time the company's
dividend over a period of six years
amounted to 25 50 per cent tn cash
on the property value and 25.39 per
cent In stoeka. making an average of
zometK'ng like 9.50 per cent per an-
num. when an addition of the (401,022.-
09 surplus and undivided profits was
made.

Report Covers Twelve Mnaflia
Mr Bland said that while the re-
port does not cover operations for a
fiscal year. It does cover a complete
12-month period. He said that for all
practical tturposes It wquld serve as
well aa If the fiscal year had been
coMldered. This was impossible, be-,
cause of the Immediate need for the
report and the faet that when the work '
was started on the books of the com-
pany had not been closed for Decem-
ber.
Mr. Connor arrived at the statement
of property values by following the
methods employed by the company In
former years. He declared also that
if the method for depreciation deduc- i
Gone the government allows tn Income 1
tax matters had been employed the de-
preciation amounts would have been
greater and the profit rate of 7 27 per
cent per annum would have been re-
duced materially, possibly altogether.
"The company proposes during the ,
current year to Increase Its per cent of
depredation to conform with that al- i
lowed by the government.” Mr. Connor
said, ‘but I did not fed justified in 1
allowing this dvgluction from earnings.
In view of the estsbllshed practice of
the company, consistency fn the mat- i
ter demanding that the same methods
used In the past apply for the current
year. This fact, however, should bo

Municipal officials refused to

plete digest of the facts In efforts to
establish their relationships is being
worked out by the mayor, who will
have a statement for the public after
he and the city commissioners, with
the supervisor of public utilities, agree
on the issues involved.

Several years ago the Department
of Agriculture sent out un inquiry to
thousands of farm women asking what
heir homes most needed. One of the
letters In reply contained the quoted
extract, and it voiced the thought
found In hundreds of other letters.
An adequate water supply Is needed
even more by the farm woman than
by her city slater, but because thia
convenience and necessity must come
in the country through Individual ef-
fort rather than municipal, few farm
homes have it. In a survey made. In
191W In 26 northern States It was found
that but 33 per cent of the farm
homes had running water in them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—It wsm se-

of the Bureau of Animal InduztraV
for experimental purpose* in treating
forage poisoning of horses that saved
the life of l>nn Delbsne. after the oth-
er six members of her family had died
from eating poisonous olives In New
York recently, according to the De-
partment of Agriculture. The serum
was made from the blood of a sheep
that had been, immunized against baci-
llus botulinous poisoning.
In investigating forage poisoning of
horses the Bureau of Animal Industry
made extensive experiment with se-
rums and discovered there were two
strains of bacillus botulinous They
look alike and the poisons they create
produce tiie same effect, but Irnmu^fc
zatlon against one does not afford Im-
munization against the other The two
strains are commonly known by the
| government Investigators as "the olive
strain ond ' the cheese strain." Three
instances of olive “poisoning, one In
Michigan, one In Ohio and the third In
Montana, Were all caused by "the olive
strain." The veterinarians, therefore,
were reasonably certain that the serum

generated by "the olive strain” would
