Chicago. May Executive officers of
western roads met here today to dis
cuss the rate situation. The Post to-
day says:
The object Of the meeting is to pre-
vent freight rates from going to pieces.
Officially it is stated that rates are in
no way threatened but are being main
tanned in strict conformity with the in
Junction Of the federal court. AS a mat
ter of fact, since the injunctions were
entered outward obedience has been
rendered to the letter. However. when
a road wants to secure a big shipment
BY cutting a rate special schedule IS
nled with the interstate commerce com
mission and the road is safe within the
law. Since the injunctions were issued
more than 600 such tariffs have been
nled 1t IS said that these tariffs have
been filed to take care of contracts OBJ
tanned before the issuance of the re-
straining orders, and that all such con-
tracts soon will be out of the way.

Loss OF FLESH.
What Medical Authorities Say as to
the Danger Lie.

Some of the best medical authorities
say that if a person loses one-third Of
his weight, that the system will not
have power enough left to ever recuper-
ate That is to say, if a man or woman
who weighs $50 pounds in health should,
they could not recover. but would short
" die. This fixes the danger line at
SO Is per cent. Some say the per cent
is a little higher and some say it is a
little lower But this estimate is prob
ably nearly correct.
Are you losing fesh2 If So do You
not know thatit is not only foolish but
dangerOuS2 You need not continue to
lose flesh another day if you viii use the
proper remedies.
Perupa is a great flesh producer. It is
through the mucous mem branes- of the
body that all the nutrition must be alb
sorbed. If the mucous membranes are
healthy, the loss OF flesh is rapidly re-
stored.
Peruna produces healthy membranes.
Unhealthy mucous mem branes is known
as catarrh. Catarrh may be slight or
severe. Peruna always cures eatarrh
wherever located.
Catarrh Of any of the vital organs
leads to loss of flesh. The catarrh may
be so slight as to give no other warning
save the loss of flesh. Any one who is
losing flesh for no apparent reason, can
be sure that catarrh is at the bottom OF
it.
Peruna is sure to cure such cases.
