There are, upon the skin Of every hu

900 pores. Through these pores, in the
form of insensible perspiration, is ex-
PEELED more than one-quarter of the nourish-
ment taken into the system. The Importance
of keeping open these perspiration valves
upon a child's body is second only 10 that OF

the food that DR.. Pitcher formulated Casio
ria. Loose bowels constipation, fevers and
eruptions which are so constant among in
fants and children, and which kill one-third
of all children before they are five years old
arise principally from these two causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant upon
the use of Castora in regulating the stomach
and bowels and keeping open the pores OF
the skin that Castoria acquired its worldwide
reputation With plenty of water for the
body, pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
assimlate the food, there need be no unac-

The Discrimination Ended

CHICAGO, October 20.-The transcon-
tinental tariffs against which the Chi
cago merchants recently made so much
complaint, has been declared illegal by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the ground that these discriminate
against individuals and localities.
Chairmen Leeds and Midgely. who have
been in conference with the members
of the commission at Washington, have
telegraphed the result to interested
lines in their respective associations.
The decision applies to commodity
tariffs which were the ones that caused
all the row. 1t has been decreed that
the disturbing tariffs should be with
drawn. In advising the trans CONT
mental roads of this decision, Chairman
Leeds has directed them to put III force
tariff No. s, in place of the objection
able tariffs, ana apply it to all points
between the Atlantic seabeard
and the Missouri River. The
effect of this is to give all
interior poin is precisely the same rates
as on the Pacific Coast business, that
apply from New York, so that Chicago
and other western cities will be just as
well off as Atlantic seaboard points,
and no better. By this arrangement
distance cuts no figure, and short haul
has no advantage over long haul. so
far as the cost of transportation is con-
cerned,
