SOLVING THE RATE PROBLEM
Eastern Roads May Be Forced to Make q
Marked Reduction in Rates.
EFFECTS OF A NEW NoaTHAND SOUTHLlNE
RniIrond Men Believe that the Conn
piction of the Pittsburg ~ Gulf VIII
Result In Great BcncHt To the
Trnnsmississippi Country.

A prominent railway official was recently
asked by a Bee reporter the probable effect
on grain rates OF the opening of a new north
and south line from this territory and the
partial diversion of grain from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Gulf of Mexico In reply he
said:
Here is the pointer in regard to the future
of the rate matter. You know the Missls-
sippi river is basing point and the towns
west of the Missouri river have proportion
ately a much higher rate from New York
than the Mississippi river towns have a
great many railroad men believe that the
completion of the Pittsburg & Gulf road
and the extension of the gulf railway intlu-
ence into the north will bring about re-
duction in rates from Mississippi river to
Missouri river towns to the great benefit
of the latter
when the new southern line gets to
shipping grain and lumber to Liverpool the
natural problem for its vessels VIII be tc
get return haul; that Will, of COURSE, bring
tariffs to the attention Of English exporters
who will be urged, as the British vice consul
in Kansas City Is urging, to sell direct TO
consumers in this country in place OF relying
on the jobbing houses In New York. The
results will be that a large part of the i'm
porting business in New York, for this trans
missouri section, will be destroyed. 1t will
not take very long for the New Workers to
catch on, and the eastern railroads will MOI
be a bit slower to catch on either; when they
do they will simply have to make rates to the
west to suit the circumstances
at has been on this hypothesis that the
railroad men hereabouts, when not talking
Tor publication, express the belief that
lower rate to the Missouri river from New
York will result from this gulf port compet-

MENTAL EFFECTS.



There are a number of commenda5le things
taught by so-called mind hcalers For in
stance, Mind IS the real being, the real
man, which moves the arms, legs. eyes, etc,
as machines which do its will"
Body Is made up entirely Of what comes
from the ground and air. 4 peculiar COM
pound of earth ana water delicately and
most deftly arranged, to be sure. but simple
earth and water nevertheless, without any
force intelligence or motion In 1t, except ais
1t Is acted upon by the living mind.
There seems to be two minds to each body,
or two selves, one which runs the so-called
automatic members, stomach, heart, bowels,
etc, etc, and the other which conducts the
movements OF the outer members. arms, etc.
1t is curious psychological fact that when
one IT, slightly aling a new limo of thought
will quickly affect the body favorably and
particularly If that mental trend run some
what as follows: II am not body"
my real self is unseen and is Mind or
Spirit which is the same as Life. Body
being dead material cannot complain to me
except as | senstize it and permit the COM
plants" II a person can bring himself to
thoroughly belevg this without a shadow of
doubt a most curious and healing effect Is
quickly felt in the body.
Many people have not a well enough train
ed mind TO command just what it shall or
shall not do. but where the mind Is well in
hand, so to speak the result OF such mental
exercise is marked and cannot be forgotten.
We write the above knowing that it will
reach the eye OF some honest SearCher after
some OF the new laws which are lately COM
ing to be known of man, and to say that
while on the subject of hcalthful living II
should not be forgotten that good nourishing
food and drink are necessary and the un-
natural habits are better left of than cung
to. If the reader has trouble with coffee and
has never used the food-drlnk Postum
Cereal, it will well repay the trial.
