Austin. Tex, Nov 20-The railroad
commission was today advised that a a
conference held between the chief traffic
officials of the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as, the Missouri Pacific, the Kansas City
Southern. the Frisco, the Cotton Belt
and the Rock Island railroads it was de-
cided to relieve the complaints of the
Texas millers by advancing the rates
on wheat, flour and bran from Mis-
souri, points, Mississippi river crossings
and other interior points to Texas. An
other conference of these officials will
be held in ST Louis on Friday to
range the details and satisfactorily adj
just the matter
The railroad commission gave hear
ing this afternoon on the proposition to
reduce the rates on the products men
toned between points in Texas and to
reduce the milling in transit charge so
as to afford relief to the Texas miller
because of the low interstate rates. If
the interstate rates are raised in the
near future, the commission will not
reduce the rates between points in
Texas

AT FIRST GLANCE
1t Would Appear That Local Remedies
Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh.

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mucous
membrane, that salves. sprays, etc, be-
ing applied directly to the membranes
of TIE nose and throat. would be the
most rational treatment, but this has
been proven not to be true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh is
a blood disease, and any remedy to
make a permanent cure must act on the
blood, and when the blood is purified
from catarrhal poison, the secretions
from the mucous membrane will become
natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some form
of catarrh; it gets better at times, but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated, and after a time the sufferer re-
signs himself to it as a necessary evil
Catarrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all
so inconvenient and ineffective as to
render their use a nuisance nearly as
annoying as catarrh itself: anyone who
has used douches. sprays and powders
will bear witness to their inconvenience
and failure to really cure.
There arc . number of excellent in
ternal remedies for catarrh. but prob
ably the best and certainly the safest Is

under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and anyone suffering from ca

A leading druggist in Albany speaking
of cataTrh cures, says: Il have sold va
rious catarrb cures for years. but have
never sold any which gave such general
satisfaction as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
They contain in pleasant, concentrated
form all the best and latest catarrh rem
