During the civil war, as well as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. MIR. David Taylor, of
Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa, is one of
these He uses Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy and says
he never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. 1t is for sale by

NoDEvIATIoN
From FIXED Rates BY the Baltimore &
OHIO.


BALTIMORE, Jan. with the
new year the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad inaugnrated its plan to
charge all shippers the regular
tariff rates. Il is the announced in
tention of the management to adj
here firmly to this purpose and to
offer no secret rates to anv one.
AS such offering is in violation of
the interstate commerce act, the
railroad has asked the inter state
commerce commission to see that
competing lines who may violate
the law be brought to account.
Secret railroad rates are regard
ed as a source of uneasiness in the
business world. Concerns sell goods
at fixed figure with the under
standing that the cost of transport
tation. is known quantity,and then
suddenly discover that some com
peting house is enabled to under
sell them through a cheaper and
secret railroad rate. The determine
tion of the Baltimare and Ohio to
enforce regular rates does not mean
an advance in rates. as they are
understood by the general public,
but a stoppsge of deviation from
these rates. This move has met
widespread approval and will be
watched with much interest through
out the business world.
There was a rush of shipments
during the week just closed. to take
advantage of whatever cuts could
be obtained before Jan. 1, the time
act for adherence to tariff rates. 1t
was stated that some shipments
we're made at a reduction of from
40 to 70 per cent. from the regular
tariff.

The way of the man who goes to an
other city and forgets his friends is
hard. Two of Augustus citizens not
long ago went to Boston to see the
baseball games and incidentally to
look at Dewey, in case they could find
place to stand high enough to see the
hero. They attended the ball games in
style, going in barouche and having
one come after them. Then they met
several old acquaintance, all of whom
claim the Augusta gentlemen's heads
were so far up in the clouds they
could see none of their old friends. 1t
seems as though everyone saw them by
the reminders they are receiving OF
cuts they gave. In every conceivable
part of the Hub they have been heard
from. and they begin to think the
whole Boston detective force was or
their trails ready to note their every
move.

The sale in the city of the old
fashioned cowhide boots for men and
boys is astonishing to those who are
not familiar with the shoe business.
They are difficult to get from the
wholesale houses, especially the small
sizes for boys. Many a man can re-
member, when boy, how carefully
he placed these boots when taking
them off at night, in order that they
might be changed on the feet in the
morning 50 that they would not run
over" If this happened they were
useless before worn out. Pounds OF
tallow were used on them. and the
way they grew small and hardened
and made sore the feet in spite of the
grease and motherly care, was a
standing grievance with the small boy
| who had to wear them.

can do SO now. as C. H. Mason has add

result. They all say that they never

reason there are no military companies
designated as Co. J, is because of the
use of the word jay" remarked Lieuten-
ant Purnell of Gardiner. who was in the
city, the other day. 1T is not for that
reason at all. The J companies are
omitted on account of the similarity of
the letters j. and L when written
by the average man. 1t would cause
confusion, and as far back as one can
remember the letter ] has been omitted
from the companies of a regiment, the
letters from A being used. emitting the
J, and continuing with X, L. M. The
word Jay used in the sense that ii
now is, as a greenhorn or a gawk, was
not known to the time they began
emitting the letter. Yet if there was a
