SOUTHERN FILES ANSWER. Advance on Rates Not Above Standard
 Rates.

Washington, January 1.-The Southern railroad has filed with the interstate com meree commission an answer 10 the re- quests for its reasons for advancing freight rates on grain, dressed meats and other commodities. The Southern says the advances were made on domestic grain and grain products, export grains, grain oil, grain syrup glucose, grape sugar and glucose syrup, effective December 8. and export provisions and dressed beef, effec- tive January 1 last. Fourth Vice Presi- dent Culp says that while the figures which took effect on these dates are ad- vanced over the rates In effect immedi- ately prior thereto, they are not advanced above the standard rates, and explains this statement by showing the competi- tive relations between the trunk lines and the Southern.
 The Chesapeake and Ohio railway says in its answer that the commodity rat es now advanced had been on a specially low basis to facilitate the movement of that class of traffic, and were subject to change.
 The present advance 1t claims, is not at all in proportion to the extent of the change in these conditions except of trans portation and In the value of commodities transpOrted

COFFEE HEART. Life Insurance Companies Now Recoq. nlze the Disease.

The "Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette ," famous authority, said in a recent issue:
 Medical examiners for life insurance companies have added the term Coffee Heart to their regular classification of the functional heterogeneous of that or gan. It's effect is in shortening the long beat of the heart. Coffee Topers, they say, are plentiful and as much tied to their cups as the whiskey toper. The effect of coffee upon the heart Is more lasting and consequently worse than that of liquor."
 A well known physician specialist of Ladoga, Indiana, tells how he treats such cases. He has had many such He says: 'I will mention one case in my practice Mrs. H., age 54 very ieshy, family his- tory good. had been for more than three heart trouble and smothering spells, ac- companied by nervousness. Had to lie down when attacked by these spells She was treating all the time hut got worse
 "I soon found out that she had coffee heart and promptly cured her in this way: I forbade her coffee and put her on Postum Cereal Coffee instead. She reported in five weeks and said she had not had a bad spell since and felt sound and we'll This was four years ago and she is now picture of perfect health and happiness
 .'This is only one case out of many. I knew the doctors tills would be small but I also knew the case would bring lots of others to me. Few people realize the great value of Postum. It is not a .cure-alr but 1t has been the means of relief to perhaps more people than any one thing ever introduced in the Ameri- can bill of fare. I have seen some won- derful results from its use" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

All of this ribbon is put on flat and the word "bows" used in con- nection with it gives really wrong idea, the ribbon is tackled down so snugly. The effect of the blue ribbon over the leaves is charming. The under side of the rim is made of folds of white tulle
 A pretty hat Is of the foliage with a wreath of lilies of the valley around the crown. wilted flowers falling off the hat like wreath of fringe. very graceful and very effective. The under side of the rim Is made of folds of white tulle.
 There are big cords, shirrings and pip- ings on some of the new gowns. This may be important or it may not. It Is difficult to tell the worth of anything in the be- ginning of the season. or before the sea- son has really thought of beginning One white gown has a skirt made of flat box plaits, these outlined with pipings of color. On the bodice, where nere are ruffles and the pipings cannot be used as effectively, a narrow fold is used instead, and set on the outside
 
 One gown has the bodice below very full fancy yoke shirred onto the yoke with fine shirrings. The skirt of this gown is also shrred several times Just below the waistband, but the shirrng is scant and the skirt fits as closely as without it.
 
 white crepe de chine gown Is trimmed with broad bands of heavy. open linen , lace, this running around the skirt and bodice. There are three broad bands around the skirt. set their width apart. The material and lace are joined with several heavy cords covered with the crepe The bodice Is made similarly with one broad band around the centre of it, and more of the lace forming the yoke. Similar heavy cords are used here.
 A smart black silk skirt Is made with two wide plaitings, each about half a yard wide, the upper set enough above the lower to allow of a rather broad heading. This is broad in effect, but narrow in itself, with two rows of tiny double ruff fies set couple of inches apart, which are brought together and crossed every five or six inches. It Is a reuse of an old-fashloned trimming, very pretty, and the skirt Is in exceedingly good style It Is worn with light bodice and a black silk and lace wrap.
