.Millers and Railroad Men to Be

INVESTIGATE FLOUR REBATES
The Title Of the Action Is "The
United States Against

The interstate commerce commission is
preparing to investigate the rebate sys-
tenn said to have been adopted by certain
roads to cut flour rates. Yesterday sub
poenas were served upon various grain
firms and railroad officials commanding
them to appear before Judge Lochren,
here, on Sept. 2, to testify in the case of
"The United States against Generally,
Among the railroad men served was w. L..
Martin of the 500 road. Mr.. Martin said
this morning that he did not know why he
had been called, and expressed the opinion
that -four rates had been in good condition
for some time past. He suggested, how
ever, that the proceeding might be de-
signed to bring the 500 and wisconsin
Central under the injunction already in
force against all other Minneapolis-Chi-
cago lines except the Minneapolis & St.
Louis So, far as can be learned the St.
Louis is not interested.
It Isl likely, however, that the case. will
assume more serious aspect. It is
thought to be aimed particularly at Wis
consin Central, and interesting develop
ments are expected. The investigation will
bear particularly upon. any methods Of
evading the law prohibiting rebates.

National speclalism In Medical Treat
ment.

Almost every community has some one
physician who has had remarkable success
in the treatment of certain diseases. Other
doctors envy him and sometimes malign
him. But he doesn't give the other doctors
the secret of his cures. He worked to win
that secret. Its discovery demanded time,
thought and brains. He keeps the secret
he won, goes on curing these special dis
eases and presently develops into special
ist. People come at last thousands of miles
to be treated by him and to take the medi-
cine which has cured so many others of a
similar disease.
But people to come thousands of miles
must be rich, and the number of patients
who can be personally treated must be
limited. Let us suppose this successful
physician who becomes specialist, takes
another view Of speciallsm. Let us suppose
that he says: "lf treat only the few who
are near me or can afford to come to me and
pay large fees, | can reach but few people.
There must thousands die whom those other
doctors can't cure, because they haven't my
secret and because they can't reach me, and
in many cases don't know me. Why not go
out to the people instead of their coming 10
me? Why not give my medicine to the
many at a small cost rather than to the few
for fat fees? Why not put up my successful
preparations, place them in every drug store
within reach of the sick, and tell the people
through the newspapers what this medicine
will do?"
That is the thought that came to DR.. X.
V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. He had sue
ceeded with two prescriptions IN remarka-
bic way. He came to the place where the
| call for his services along the lines OF the
cures he affected compelled him TO become
| a specialist He could not give time to the
treatment of other forms of disease which
many another physician could cure as well
as he. He was compelled to specialize his
work along the lines of his success. Now
the question came, shall be narrow spec
ialist or broad one? Shall be local
specialist or national specialist? Shall
| take the few fat fees and know that there
are thousands who can't pay me or reach
my treatment, or shall put up this medi-
| cine. send it all over the country and sell it
at price within the reach of allf
| DR.. Pierce decided to be a National
| Specialist, to accept for his put up prescrlp-
| tions the odlous title of "patent medicines !"
| and trust to their successful cures to vindl-
| cate his action
| How thorough this vindication has been
| is witnessed by thousands and hundreds OF
| thousands of healthy men and women VINO
owe health and even life to DIR. Pierce's
| Golden Medical Discovery, which cures Gis-
eases of the stomach and other organs of di-
gestion and nutrition, and DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, which cures womaply
diseases.
Modern conditions demand that we do
not class medicines like DR.. Pierce's with
the "patents" Of the past, but call them IN
proper terms, pui-up prescriptions.

ROADS IN GERMANY.
How They Are Kept In Hepnir WIN
out AnyAppreciabIe Cost TO
the Taxpayers.

Americans concede that roadmaking
in Germany is fine art. Few, how
ever. realize that road repairing has
been reduced to a comparatively cheap
art as well. wish devotedly that local
societies could be former in order TO
study it, and apply the results OF the
study to country roads in America.
I smoke once on the subject to an audi
ence of leadiag citizens in Ulster coun-
ty in New York. an ideal county TO eX-
pertinent in, having all the three cher
things for success. mean stones,
paupers and fruit trees. Germans,
namely, find that it pays to encourage
peasants to free their fields of stones;
the property rises in value-taXing
value. The stones thrown into heaps
by the roadside are purchased by the
district road-repairing commission.
Poor men, who otherwise would have
TO be supported in almshouses, are
hired to break these stones, and then
are trained to the work OF repairing
the roadbeds. The money to pay the
men is made by auctioning off to
the highest bidder the crops of the
fruit trees that were planted on both
sides of the highway when it was built,
and which are nourished well by the
manure that falls along the road ana
is pushed at intervals by road tender
upon their roots. The purchaser OF
the crop sees to it that his fruit is not
! stolen. The road commissioners have
no bother about that And although
the sale is by auction, it brings in con-
siderable. Every burgher knows how
much, because the sales of highway
fruit crops are published in the local
wspapers.--Countess Won Krockow'
