ships seldom equal their trial spee3s
but as there was no special premium

their true service speed more closely

Shoe LAGER for Fat People.

Mrs. Elizabeth Falconer of Louis
Vile, KY, has just perfected an in.
vention which promises to revolution
ize the lacing of shoes by fat people.
The invention enables men or wom-
en- to lace their shoes without stoop,
ing, and although it was not invented
primarily for tat men-there- are no
fat women-it will be utilized as
much by them as by the aged and in
firm, for whose comfort it was
brought into the world. The inven'
ton is simple. One lace string is per
manent in position, and pulling the tor
of it laces the shoes. Pulling the bot
tom string loosens the shoe.

Railroad Rate Legi31atlOn.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give that
commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates. / think .hey should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. I have never advocated any
law, and I AM not now in favor Of any
law. which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time; while
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it is done In some
countries, I am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of it's property Is not good for
anything unless it car charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if hat rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should con1scate the property Of a
railroad; 1t is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When you
put in a rate hat is Inherently I'M
reasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, Of its property.
and the Circuit Court Of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. !
have looked at these cases a great
many times, and I can only come to the
conclusion that a railroad company is
entitled to charge a fair and reasonable
rate, and if any order of q commission
if any statute Of a State Legislature
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway com
pany."

FEED YOU MONEY

Money and Fame.

Ever since boyhood I have been
especially fond Of meats, and I am con-
WINGED I ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
"The result was that l found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with ailments
of the stomach and kidneys, which in
terfered seriously with my business.
AT last I took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of
the heavy, meats, etc., that had consti-
tuted my former diet.
Il found that 1 was at once benefited
by the change, that I was soon relieved
from the heartburn and the indigestion
tnat used to follow my meals, that the
pains in my back from my kidney af-
lection had ceased, showing that those
organs had been healed, and that my
nerves, which used to be unsteady, and
my brain, which was slow and letilargic
from a heavy diet of meats ard greasy
Ioods, had, not in q moment, but grad
ually, Inc none the less surely, been
restored to normal efficiency. Now
every nerve is steady and my braiu
and thinking faculties are quicker and
more acute than for years past.

to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hin9ered me
seriously in my work, but since ]
