NEW RULES on DEMURRAGE.
shippers All over the State Must Be
Put on the Same Basis.


Put on the Same BASIS.
Atlanta Ca. Feb. 2O.-The state railroad
commission to-day formulated a new set
of rules regulating demurrage charges on
freight. The new rules are the outcome
of a petition presented to the commission
last week by wholesale grocers and lum-
Der dealers, representing every part OF
the state. One of the most important
changes in the rules is one under which
lines are required to grant the same rates
of demurrage at all points on their routes
chat is, in this state) if no demurrage is
charged at any point or points the same
privilege must be extended to all points
on the line. This clause, it is under
stood. is the result of the action of lines
which recently abolished the demurrage
charges as to Atlanta. The commission
holds that shippers in all parts of the
state are entitled to stand on the same
footing, and If demurrage is discontin,
ued in Atlanta it must also be dscon-
tinued at all other cities by the lines al
interest. Another important change re-
qures that where shippers are notified bv
mail, instead of by personal service, they
must be allowed twenty-four hours more
time. The new rules will be promulgated
in an official circular tomorrow

See the point? Your ad-
vantage is as plain as the
letters on the baby's build
ing blocks. You'll need a
spring suit-no matter how
cold the weather is to-day.
You'll either buy a ready
to wear" or have one made
to your measurements.
Now then: IF you say so
before March 18th we will
make a suit from such ma
terial as you select-make it
to fit you in every line and
curve and charge just what
we would charge for 4
ready-to-wear suit selected
from our stock. If you ever
had a chance to save money
this is it.

who Said 500 for n wheel.

You know it's entirly too much. The
price $500 is really plenty for them. Let
us explain:
We are selling the celebrated Waverley
Bicycle. made by the Indiana Bicycle
Company. who have the largest plant in
the world, for only $780, mark this. And
let US say right here that no better wheel
under the sun is manufactured. The buyer
makes the $3.50. not the dealer, for the
Waverley costs us just as much as the
800 wheels would cost. We have the dis
counts and know it.
This Waverley, for either lady or gentle
man, is the handsomest bicycle made
the steering head and fork is acknowledg-
ed the most graceful of all wheels. See

Don't think because you are sick
and nothing seems to give you re-
lief that you can't be cured.
There must be a cure for you
somewhere,
If your doctor can't cure you,
perhaps he has mistaken the cause,
Anybody is liable tomake a mistake
sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from in
digestion, and one out OF every
three dyspeptlcs doesn't know it..
That is, he may know he is sick, but
he blames it to something else.
Indigestion is the cause of half Of
our dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made
from tonic medicinal roots and
herbs, is the most natural cure for
Indigestion 1t relieves the symp-
toms and cures the disease gently,
naturally, efficiently, giving fresh
life, strength and health to sick
dyspeptics.
