Charles A. Prouty on Government Su
pervision Of Railroad Rates.

The address which Charles A. Prou-
ty of Newport, VT, interstate railroad
commissioner, delivered before the
Illinois Manufacturers association last
week, is being quoted all over the
country. Mr.. Prouty spoke on the
Capitalization of railroad control and
the necessity present of a strong gov
eminent supervision of rates
Five men," he said, now actually
control the railroads of the United
States. There is no longer any real
competition. The only remedy lies
in government control of rates set by
the roads. We are face to face with
railroad monopoly"
The point which Mr.. Prouty would
enforce is that competition in railroad
ing no longer exists if it ever did exist
to any adequate extent; that the rail
roads have fallen under a highly cen
tralized control; that following this
we have a condition of advancing rates
in the face of increasing traffic and
falling cost of transportation; and
that this private centralized manage
ment can be depended upon to pursue
policy of taxing the public for all the
traffic will bear and to pursue no other
policy. Mr.. Prouty said: The gen
tlemen who are perfecting these
schemes assert that there Is no cause
for uneasiness. Mr.. Hartman de-
clares that competition does not reduce
rates or restrain the advance of rates
On the contrary, his combinations will
lead finally to the reduction of rates.
Mr.. Hill asserts upon every opportuni-
ty that his motives are charitable and
that his great merger was not to make
money. but to benefit the Northwest
Such claims are an insult TO the in
telligence of every thoughtful citizen.
Permit the railway operators of this
country to decide, unrestrained by
competition, what their property shall
earn, and they will in the long run rob
the public. No amount of sophistry
can disguise it; such a condition is
against common sense, common ex-
perience and common decency."

If you and 1 were defending a castle we

The better we understand where our weak

We must defend Castle Body when 1t Is
first threatened, and not wait until the
enemy has made lodgment inside the
walls. The bad things, the wastes, the I'M

thrown out of Castle Body by means OF
the Lungs, the Bowels, the Kidneys, the

the first three are bothered by indigestion
and dyspepsia, the skin has more work
than it can do. Now the man exposes his
skin, or some part of it, to the cold. The

The American Grocer has collected
a mass of interesting statistics regard
ing the consumption of beverages in
this country, which are we'll worth at
tentive study. OF the $1,273 ,212,386
spent for beverages In 1901, about sc
per cent. was spent for alcoholic slim
ulants, of which so per cent. was for
beer, 81 per cent. for whisky, and 5
per cent. for wines. If the quality
Of tea and coffee used is reduced to
its equivalent as a beverage, we find
that more gallons of coffee are con-
sumed than any other sort of drink,
amounting to 1921 ,372,454 gallons, as
against 1,258,249,391 gallons of beer
It's greatest competitor. This total OF
273,212,3S6 for alcoholic and non
