BY DAMAGE SUITS
Bad Pavements Cost Phila
delphia $540,000.
Coirparlson of the amounts paid out
on Judgments in damage suits arising :
from injuries to citizens because of faulty
pavements and other causes for which
the city government is responsible in In
dianapolis, with a report of the legal
department of Philadelphia, published
in a recent dispatch, shows Indianapolis
In a very favorable light.
Philadelphia, according to the dispatch,
paid oat <510,000 last year and expects
to pay $200,000 this year for injuries,
most of which were directly traceable
to boles in streets and sidewalks, faulty
catch basin lids and the like. The legal
department of the city of Indianapolis
had to pay out $6,200 last year and the
year before and expects to bare to pay
SIO,OOO this year on like Judgments.

ny, acting as city claim agent, said the
totsl asked by persons who say they have
beet damaged because of holes in streets
and sidewalks will be between $150,000
and $200,000 this year.
FAVOR UNIFORM
CONTRACT PLAN
Credit Men Directors Outline
Commerce Needs.
The following statement, expressing the
sentiment of a recent meeting of the di
rectors of the National Association of
Credit Men, which is advocating a uni
form contract that would restrict the
possibility of cancellations of orders, has
been received by the Indianapolis Asso.
elation of Credit Men:
“Common sense, not sentiment, em
phasizes the need of a strong business j
conscience as the foundation of an In
creasing and enduring commerce. His
tory vividly shows tktat many nations
passed entirely out because of the lack
of honor and good faith In their com
mercial intercourse with flfher people.
This blunder must be avoided by Amer
ica. Its business conscience must be the j
controlling quality o' its merchants and
In all transactions good faith and honor
most be preserved. The contract when
entered Into without conditions should be
executed by both parties and to repudiate
such contracts by either party is a viola
tion of sound business principles and is
frequently very dishonorable.
“The cancellation of orders when they
have been placed In good faith and so
accepted should never be indulged by a
merchant who pi *ces honor first, and ,
has respect for the business conscience.
■‘Returning mercuand'se received In
ngreement with orders without the con
sent of the shipper provokes disorders
In business, causes unnecessary waste and
Is one of the abuses that affect the busl- |
ness conscience and violates the prln- ,
ciples of goud faith. These abuses hare
been too common recently and to the
extent that faith in business conscience
Is severely strained. Because of these ;
tbuses, business has hesitated, industries
have stopped. Living close to contracts
and defending good fnlth would have j
prevented these conditions In * large
measure and saved much of the waste
and disorder which have so seriously af
fected the business sltnation.
“We appeal In the strongest terms to
buyers and sellers for n defense of their
.honor in the contractual relation. We
urge a deep faith in the business con
science of America, and the removal of
every temperament and every tendency
that might bring us under criticism and
reflect seriously on the sterling quali
ties of America’s business men."

'ah ge, of R. F. D. No. 4, this place,
vritee &s follows regarding her ex
jerience with Cardul: “Some time
.go I had a nervous breakdown of
ome kind ... I was very weak,
nd so nervous. It all seemed to
ome from . . . trouble, for at
... I had fainting spells and suf
ered a great deal, but more from
; he weak, trembly, no-account feel
ig than anything else. I knew I
eeded a tonic, and needed It badly.
**l began the use of Cardul. to see
! I couldn't get some strength, as I
new of other cases that had been
elped by Its use. I felt better ...
( soon saw a great improvement, so
apt It up.
"I used seven bottles of Cardul,
-nd can say the money was well
pent, for I grew well and strong,
