city over the Associated Press that
western freight rate situation devel-
oped into n state of open war when the
Santa Fe gave notice that, beginning
next Monday, that company would
carry live stock between Chicago and
Kansas City for 10 cents per hundred
pounds. This is a cut of TX cents,
and is the lowest rate given on live
stock since 1895, when there was u
situation similar to the one now exist
tween the river and Chicago went to
1c cents Officials of the Santa Fe took
no action regarding the packing house
products and dressed meats. The full
purpose of the Santa Fe is not dis
closed.
The Santa Fe live stock rate will af-
feet the tariff from points far west of
Kansas City to Chicago, as the rates
from all interior points will be no more
Other lines from Kansas City, to get
live stock business to Chicago, will
have to meet the Santa Fe cut and
under the rulings of the interstate
commerce commission these competing
lines will be compelled to make the
same rate from other points along the
river, or in Missouri river territory,

FOR COLLECTION OF RENTS,
FriHrs Transferred Titles to Facilitate
Getting Revenue.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The war de-
partment has known for some time
that portions of the Friar lands in the
Philippines have been disposed of to
companies, and all of the recent nego-
tiations conducted by Secretary Root
have carefully taken into account any
contingencies which might arise
through these transfers. The facts
were fully communicated to the gov
eminent here by Governor Taft The
latter also explained this matter of
| alleged transfer to the senate commit
tee on the Philippines. In the course
of his evidence before the committee,
Governor Taft said, in answer to the
question whether the Friars were in
actual possession of the lands:
Generally in order to avoid hostili-
ties, they have transferred their titles
to companies and retained majority
of the stock"
AS to the bona-fde nature of the
transfers to certain companies, Gov
ernor Taft said that he had cross
examined the heads of religious orders.
He added:
81 think after you read the evidence
it will become obvious that while it is
true that transfers have been made,
they have been colorado in this sense
not fraudulent, do not say that
but they have been colorado in the
sense that the transfer made was for
the purpose of giving the public the
impression that the Friars had parted
with their titles and thus facilitating
the collection of rents, while in fact
the ownership is still retained. That
is my information as to the condition
of the titles now, in spite of the pro-
test filed by some stock holders with
respect to the ownership of some
haciendas."

To Perfect Tax Titlea

Topeka, Aug. 11.-At session of the
county commissioners it was agreed to
order the county attorney to institute
suits against persons whose property
had been sold for taxes and the posses

that in this way the county can secure
perfect title to property or compel the

pure drinking water, which. in the coun-
tries where the Arabs abound. Is notably
bad It is saturated with all sorts or
contamination.
This has had the effect Of wedding out
the weaker ones and leaving only those
to live who can stand typhoid fever
germs. The grown Arab. therefore, Is
able to bear exposure that would give a
European typhoid fever at once. This,
however, Is not intended as an argument
for the use of impure drinking water II
only shows that the human system is
capable of adjusting itself to unfavoraple
conditions.
But. while the Arab is immune from
tvphoid fever. he is especially susceptible
10 consumption. This fact is accounted
for by the reason that he has been ac-
custom to very pure air OF the mum
tains, and when exposed to the climate
of Europe he quickly succumbs 10 con-
sumption. He can stand our orinkihe
water, but he cannot stand our climate
The whole subject of national suscep-
tibility and unsusceptibility to disease is
a very interesting one. 1t may De- after
all. that our climate, which is so pecu-
liarly provocative OF catarrh, Will at ias'
produce a race of people that VIII ..
practically immune from catarrh. W.
hope so, at least. At present " -
national disease and nearly every one
has it. ......,o
The very best authorities on CHROME
eatarrh state that there rs such tnnhs
as immunity from this diseasv , tne e
cold bath every morning. gargling tne
throat with cold water. splasning tn'
neck and chest with cold water-it TINS
q. nracticed thoroughly every morning
il will practically render any one immune
from catarrh
padding the feet every evening IN colo
watsr might also be ADDED to this re-
Imen. This practice hardens the nerv.
GUS system against the vicissitudes o.
the weather and will soon produce a con,
dltion of the system in which the sup'eo'
naed have no fear Of catarrh.
