as to be we'll calculated to deceive. II
is, however, in general appearance only
that they compare with Allcock's, for
they are worse than worthless, inssmuch
as they contain deletericus ingredients
which are apt to cause serious injury.
Remember that Allcocs's are the only
genuine porous plasters-the best sx-

purchasing plssters do not only ask for

Making Its influence FsIt.

The Chicago Times says: The st.
Louis pool lines are disturbed by the
fact that the Chesapeake and Ohio
is getting what they consider too large
q proportion Of the through east-bound
business from that point. 1t is allowed
a diiIerential on account Of its combina-
ton Of water and rail to New York,
and that concession seems to be suih-
cient to turn gOodly proportion Of the
traffic over its line. The Chesapeake
and Ohio has not made raid into the
Chicago market for some time, its
experiments in that direction not having
been very satisfactory so far
but it is expected that when all
of Huntington's plans are com
pleted 1t will become formidable com
pe,itor for q share Of the through bust.
ness, especially export traffic. Much
depends upon the campaign which it Is
expected that the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton will enter into in the way
Of extensions, q belief being entertained
that the Cincinnati, Hamilton and In
dianapolis branch will be extended to
Chicago next year, but even this is not
necessary in order for the Chesapeake
and Ohio to invade this territory. 1t
is no secret that the Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago road would be
willing to enter into amore advantageous
contract for both lines than it now
has with the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Indianapolis, and negotiations look
ing to that end were begun several
months ego. Then the Cincinnati,
indianapolis, st. Louis and Chicago is
q firm ally Of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
1t is not probable that the Chesapeake
and Ohio will make any very aggressive
moves until its new bridge is built
across the Ohio rlver at Cincinnati, and
when that is accomplished it is said
that Commissioner Fink will put forth
his most persuasive powers to induce
the Chesapeake and Ohio to come into
the pool. There would be no safety
for the association lines with that road
as free lance on the outside. How
ever. a year or more will elapse before
it will be ready to demonstrate its ca
pacity as a competitor for through busi-
ness.
