1t may be some satisfaction to ladies
whose locks are ruidy to learn that many
OF the most lovely women In history had
hair which the envious called "red." A
famous beauty who was SO wonderfully
preserved at 80 that she was admired BY
young man three times as young as herself
sailed In stately beauty under fiery locks.
The same can be said Of Cleopatra, Helen
Of Troy and many others.
II with these examples. however, you
are dissatisfied with the color Of your hair.
you can mako 1t beautiful brown by
staining 1t with the juice from the outer
skim Of walnut. This method Is always
successful and has never been known to
injure the roots OF the hair.

RIGHT TO FIX RATES.
DecisiOn Rendered in Case Against
North DnkOta Commission.

Decisior Rendered in Case Against
North Dakota Commission.
The decision of the United States circuit
court for the district of North Dakota upor
the question OF tine powers OF State to
regulate rates rs OF considerable interest to
the railways, since 1t is the first decision
to follow that of the supreme court In the
famous Nebraska case. Substantially the
opinion rendered by Judge Aulidon at Far
go is upon the lines laid down In the Me-
braska Judgment. The court says:
"In prescribing rates the State of North
Dakota is limited to that business which
Is done wholly within Its boundaries, and
in determining The reasonableness OF such
rates the court can not take into consid-
GRAFTON the carriers whole business both
interstate and domestic"
The fundamental question in all cases
like these is: viii the rates prescribed
BY the State pay the expense of doing the
local business and leave r'hs carrier
reasonable compensation upon this fair
,alue of the property which il employs IN
performing the service?
The railroads presented figures for the
four years, 1894 TO 1897, inclusive, show
ing the total cost of local business and the
earnings as reduced by the schedule pre-
pared by the state rHilroAn coihiiissp'n'
From these II APPEARED that the Great
Northern paid out in operating expenses
SSS 10 for every 800 received frcun local
business. and that on the rates fixed by
the commission the road would only have
received $S7 IN place Of every 800, or
$1.19 less than the expense of doing bust
ness. Similarly the Northern Pacific
would have conducted Its local business at
loss OF 1926 on every 500 OF traffic
Following tine decision In the Nebraska
case. the court reserved to the stare ran
road commission the right to apply for fur
Their relief In case circumstances shail 50
change that the rates fixed by the COM
rnissioners will yield to the companies Q
reasonable compensation.

OF the holiday excursion rates to visit their
