as sleeDlessness, blood impurity and
the nervous diseases that are likely to
follow such daily poisoning of the sys-
tenn.
Paine's celery compound by it's pro-
nounced nourishing power enables the
nerves to get back their control over
the circulation so that the blood supply
becomes greatest where it is m st need
ed, as in the stomach after eating, and
least where its presence can only do
HARM as in the brain when sleep is
needful.
The nerves, when they are strong
and properly nourished. limit the flow
OF blood to the head and draw off the
excess from the brain, thus ensurng
refreshing sleep. Persons who wake up
tired, droWsy and ambitionleSs, or can
not sleep a whole night through are
suffering from disordered nerves
Paine's celery compound Gains and
feeds the nerves even to their tiniest
hranchings, and they in their turn are
enabled to equaliZe the blood supply
over the body, thus sparing the heart,
preventing congestions and rushes of
blood to the head, dizziness, paralysis,
pain over the heart, and those head
aches that seem to come and go with
out any good reason, and are so mex
plicable to hosts of men and women.
1t thus indirectly, but none the less
surely, relieves the dangerous pressure
On the kidneys and heart, which even
tually leads to their rapid deteriora-
ton and breakdown.
This great invigorator is a long step
forward in the definite cure of nervous
diseases and disorders that are induced
by an inSuff1ciently nourished system.
1t is possible to name, without hesita-
ton, several diseases that have been
repeatedly traced to such impoverish-
nlent Of the blood-nervous dyspepsia,
a rundown physical condition. loss
Of appetite, nervousness, heart trouble,
tired feelings and a respondent outlook
upon life. To rid the body of such
evidences of trouble within, it is neces-
sary to stop the friction among the
nervous tissues that is pulling down
its healthy tone. The remedy is Paine's
celery compound

After about five hours deliberation,
the jury which heard the testimony in
thee case Of the state against Andrew
SweEson, charged with participating in
the robbery Of a bakery and confec-
tonery store, returned verdict Of not
guilty.
County Attorney Anderson was indig-
nant. He thought he had a sure thing.
Even the court remarked, after the
testimony was all in, that there did not
seem to be any defense to warrant the
county attorney taking time to sum
up. Accordingly the county attorney
submitted the states case. without a
closing argument.
Herman Oppenheim, who defended
Swenson, addressed the jury in behalf
Of his client. Mr.. Oppenheim's elo-

as the jury acquitted his client.

County Attorney Anderson took occa-

ALL ROADS IN THE AIR.
Grand Trunk at Once Asks CO-opera-
ton of western Lines.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-The Canadian
Pacific road exploded a bomb among
its American competitors today by an
nouncing a wholesale reduction of
rates. These cuts affect business in
TWO directions.
In the fret place, the rates from all
New England points to Minneapolis end
St Paul are slaughtered, and again,
all New England points and points in
the state of New York have had one
blanket rate applied so far as all bust
ness to North Pacific coast points is
concerned. These transcontinental
rates have been cut almost in two.
The present rates from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Northern Pacific coast
are 1925 first-class, and $67.40 second
class. Tomorrow the Canadian Pacific
will make these rates from all points
in New England and New York, $40
flrst-class and $50 second class. Rates
to st. Paul will be cut from $3.50 first
class, and $3.50, second-class, to $40,
first class, and $40, second class.
On learning the Canadian Pacific's in
tention in the matter, the Grand Trunk
read at once invited the Chicago roads
to join it in meeting these rates via
Chicago. They have been importuning
the Grand Trunk for months to join
them in meeting Canadian Pacific rates,
little thinking as soon as such an agree
ment was e1fected the Canadian PaclEC
at one slash would work such havoc
with the revenues. If they agree to the
Grand Trunks request, it will mean
Immediate reduction of the rates from
Chicago to North Pacific coast, from
$e1.50, frst-class, and $3.50, second
class, to $40, first-class, and $50, second
class.
Doubtless the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern roads will be as
anxious as the Grand Trunk that the
Chicago roads should join in meeting
the rates. Their refusal would simply
mean that they had gone out of the
business for the time being, and that
would mean that the two roads named
running west from st. Paul, would get
little or none of the business either, be-
cause they would have no Eastern con-
nections to take it to them, and the
Canadian Pacific is not likely to give
them any.
A meeting of interested lines has been
called for tomorrow to decide on some
definite course of action, but it may
hs to be adjourned to the beginning
of the week on account Of the absence
of many Of the general passenger
agents in the East
At meeting held there today it was
decided to ask the trunk lines to assist

Klondike rates have gone glimme1-
ing. Not only have the figures between
here and the Pacific coast been cut in
two, but all through the Eastern, Cen
trail and Western territory, and the end
is not yet.
1t was announced yesterday morning
that the initiative had been taken by
the Canadian Pacific, and the cut was
promptly met by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific. The drop is eff
fective today.
The fact most interesting to people
here is that rates from ST. Paul to the
coast have fallen from $50 and $40 first
and second class, to s25 and 500.
The Canadian Pacific folks say it is
following the warning given out by it's
officials of some such action in the fail
ure of the other lines to stop the de-
moralizatfon. The other transcontinen-
tai lines say the action is the result of
the refusal to grant the Canadian Pa
cific a differential on Alaska business
to the coast.
The Canadian Pacific rates from New
York to Seattle have been slashed from
81 to $40 first class, and from $62. rs
to $50 second class. These rates WILL
of course, play hob with the local traffic
on both the other transcontinental lines
here, but there was no alternative but
to meet the reduction.

BEAUTIES FROM MINNESOTA.
Butter Shipment From This State
Causes Favorable Comment
: state

In recent issue of the New York Pro-
Queer appeared the following:
am pleased to note that some OF the but
termakers are awakening to the necessity
of always using great care in packing their
butter and sending to market fine looking
tubs. Last week I saw a line Of fifty tubs
from Minnesota that were beauties. In APP
pearance the tubs were almost alike. white
and clean Each cover was fastened with
four tins, extending over top and sides the
same distance. 1 stood by and watched them
stripped, and it would have been a valuable
lesson in packing if some buttermakers
know had been there too. There was abso-
lutely no fault to be found. The stripping
was done easily and the butter had been
beautifully packed. 1 trust that the butter
makers attending the Topeka convention viii
embrace the opportunity If offered to eX-
anime the packing and packages of some Of
the butter that will be there. I would sug-
gest that those who desire to get a few
pointers on this part of the work ask some
one or two Of the commission men who will
be there to go with them to the butter room
and point out the packages that are 50
much desired in all the leading markets.
