FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play.
Ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sibie move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf.
&c managers. A false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the
rain of city, of a great manufacture
ing interest, Of an agricultural COM
munity Railroads strive to build up
all these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp cOmpeti'
tien OF business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 10
practically dictate rates. Rate max.
ing has been a matter Of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads Of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
aforementioned and operated rail.
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta'
ton rates in the world.

TENT TREATMENT FOR
TUBERCULOUS INSANE
Superintendent of Large Eastern Hospital Has
Demonstrated Its Efficiency

Even at the outset, however, the pro-
tests, whether from patients or their
friends, were surprisingly few, and
latterly they have been more apt to
arise, if at all, over the patients re-
turn to the buildings when that be-
came necessary.
The question Of medication may in
the present writing be dismissed with
very brief reference. 1t has been
found unnecessary to extend it great
ly, and it has been limited mainly to
the treatment of symptoms. Stimula-
tion-alcoholic and the like-has been
found of but little demand or use, and
the quantities consumed-always I'M
der individual medical prescription
have been insignificant. On the other
hand, the dietary has been made as
liberal as the imposed restrictions OF
the State Hospital schedule have per-
mitted, both in the way OF regular
diet and extras, and in the leading es-
sentials-milk and eggs-private do
nations have supplemented the regular
supply. But dependence, after all, has
been mainly placed upon the rigid
isolation and disinfection, and upon
| the unlimited supply Of fresh air. AS
an interesting incidental fact it may
be mentioned that not only the pa
| tents, but also the nurses living in the
camp have enjoyed almost complete
immunity from other pulmonary dis
eases Not a single case Of pneumonia
has developed in the camp in its eX-
isteuce Of over three years, though it
causes 191 deaths in the hospital prop
er in that time. The common colds"
so frequent among their fellows living
upon the wards, or in the Attendants
Home, have been unknown among the
tent-dwellers
The popular idea that the cOnsump-
tive is a doomed man unless he can
at once abandon home and family and
business and betake himself to some
remote region would seem to be mega
lived by our Wards Island expert
ence. The Wards Island camp is but
a few feet above the tide-water level,
it's site is swept in winter by winds of
high velocity, coming over the ice
bound waters of the rivers and the
sound which surround it, and it suf-
fers as much as, or more than, any
other part of the city of New York
from the trying changes of tempera'
ture and humidity which are so char
acteristic of its climate. If, in spite
; of all these drawbacks, what has been
done can be done, and that for insane
patients, what may not be hoped from
the extension of the same methods to
the ordinary consumptive of sound
, mind, anxious for recovery and capa
BILE of giving intelligent assistance in
the struggle?

>one day l read the little book The
Road to Wellville." 1t opened my
eyes, and taught me lesson I shall
never forget and cannot value too
highly. l Immediately quit the use
OF the old kind Of coffee and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. I noticed
the beginning of an Improvement in
the whole tone Of my system, after
only two days use Of the new drink,
and in very short time realized that
I could go about like other people
without the least return Of the ner-
vous dread that formerly gave me so
much trouble. In fact my nervous
ness disappeared entirely and has
never returned, although 1t is now a
year that have been drinking Postum
Food Coffee. And my stomach is now
like iron-nothing can upset It!
Last week, during the big Con

"Well, the hrst indications were a

after that appeared, my walk got to be
uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence

of coal, and my legs gave way suddenly,
and tumbled all in heap in basket.
I couldn't close my eyes and keep my

fearful pains over my whole body and /

Few will be found to dispute tae
spirit of the old Latin proverh, De
mortuiS nil nisi bonum. Is it not a
pity, however, that we. are all so in
cIined to offer fulsome adulation OF
the dead, about whom, while living,
nothing was too vile to say? This is
not to be understood as criticising I'm,
favorsbly the natural tendency to foor'

member only the virtues of the peo
