Curious How Right Food RebuiIds
Body.
The benefits of the good, red blood
made by Grape-Nuts food is described
in a letter from Chicago:
81 was for years sadly afflicted with
hemorrhoids caused by constipation,
which was the result of impure blood
supplied by food not adapted to the
needs of the body under certain con-
ditions. Ny trouble extended to rectal
hemOrrhoids which greatly reduced
my strength. A surgical operation
gave me no relief and I was COM
PEELED finally to quit business.
Luckily, just when things we're
looking the blacklist, some one recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food as a desira-
BILE article of diet, and began dec.
1909 its use, and in a few months
brought my health back to me.
The action of my bowels is free
and regular now, and this has brought
relief from the hernorrh oids. At the
same time a neurouc trouble which
had been growing on me and which
the doctors could never do anything
with, has also disappeared. All this
return to health am free to say owe
to Grape-Nuts food" Name given by

sIcKNEx WITH PRESIDENT.
Belfvcs That the Esch- Townsend Rate
Bill VIII Pass.


Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. A. B.
Stickney, president of the Chicago
Great Western railway, who was in
Kansas City yesterday with a party of
friends en- route for Galveston, is
quoted as saying that a rate bill in line
with the presidents ideas will pass con-
gress.
Z believe that the Esch-Townsend
bill viii be adopted by congress the
coming session" he said. But I do
not think that it will make any i'm
mediate appreciate difference to the
shippers. Yet, as q national declara-
ton of principle. 1t means everything.
The presidents recommendation means.
in effect, that when the shipper dis
putes the fairness of a railroad rate
the two parties shall go before an arbi-
tration tribunal whose decision shall
become a common rule for the kind OF
freight in question. The other method,
that Of going to law. is hopeless. They
had q law regulating rates in Mime
sofa thirty years ago. The railroads
refused to obey it and one man sued
them The case took five years to get
a final decision and the shipper got
the award. but the amount in dispute
was just forty-five cents.
THE ideal method Of making n rate
would be the mileage system, a fat
scale based on weight. dimensions and
distance The new tribunal would then
take an air line from Kansas City to
st. Louis, for instance. and base the
rate on lldl. he ODJGcli3N OF ItlG COLL
panies TO a mileage rate is that it
would seriously dislocate existing in
terests, and perhaps ruin many cities
whose prosperity depended upon some
advantageous preferential rate. They
viii say that suddenly to alter rates
would be disastrous AS a matter of
fact rates are being suddenly altered
every day Shippers have grown inn
mune to excitement of that sort.
THE real objection Of railroad men
to the appointment of any tribunal is
a very wholesome distrust of the sort
of men who may be nominated. They
think that appointments will be made
purely for party purposes. and so far
we have no guarantee to the contrary.
The Importance of the work of that
new tribunal can not be exaggerated.
The position should be one of dignity
with a life appointment. similar in its
terms to that of the United States SUI
preme court. If appointments of that
sort could be guaranteed believe that
the manager of every important rail-
road in the country would indorse the
measure. -

to vote aid to the Denver, Enid & Gulf
road is defeated we viii agree to build
not less than twenty-five miles west of

this date and win ask for nothing ex-
cept right of way. E. P. Ripley"
The election for bonds for the Denver,
Enid & Gulf railroad win be held Tues
day in Barber county and a number of
business men are making q strong fight
against the bond ISSUE The Denver,
Enid & Gulf people have a strong force
of men in that county who are working
in the interest OF the bonds. Milton
Brown, one of the attorneys and a di-
rector of the Enid line. was in the city
a few days ago and declared that the
Santa Fe would not build their line as
he had received assurances from Gen
eral Manager Hurley's office that the
Santa Fe had not thought of extending
the Medicine Lodge branch.
The Santa Fe's survey touches the
great gypsum deposits OF western Bar
Der county, while the survey of the Den
yer. Enid & Gulf does not touch the de-
posits. It is thought that as soon as
the line is built capitalists viii begin
work in the gypsum fields and that it
will bring a great source of wealth to
that county.

Pass Agreement Between Ex-
ecutives Badly Shattered.
Only Shell Remains of Iron Clad
August Bargain.
OFFICIALS EXPLAIN.
Declare Rivals Violate Rules:
They Must Do Likewise.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.
OFFICIALS EXPLAIN

Only the shell remains OF the agree
ment made last August by the execu-
tive officers and passenger department
officials of the western railroads that no
passes or reduced rates should be given
to influence traffic. The agreement was
especially drafted to stop the demoraliz-
alton OF rates on parties OF laborers,
theatrical business and military traffic.
There was a meeting Of the Western
Passenger association in Chicago a cOu-
pie of days ago and W. J. Black, passen-
ger traffic manager OF me Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, was present at the
meeting. This meeting developed the
fact that the passenger rate situation
is as bad as it ever was, so far as
party and military traffic is concern
ed. From time to time various roads
have formally fled notice with the chair
man of the Western and Transcon-
tinental Passenger associations that they
propose to exempt certain business from
the agreement of the executive officers.
This opened the way for a scramble by
all lines for that particular business.
Later another big railroad gave notice
that 1t was obliged to have a large
number of laborers on new lines under
construction, and therefore II would not
be governed by the agreement SO far
as labor business was concerned. The
next notice formally sent to the chair
men Dy one OF the most important lines
was that in order to meet secret COM
petition of a competitor, it would be
obliged in the future to ignore the agree
ment of the executive officers in so far
as theatrical business was concerned.
As the agreement stands today it APP
plies only to one way first class tickets
from nOncompetitive points. No proof
has yet been found by the chairman
that any road is cutting monthly COM
mutation rates.
The triiing fact that any violation OF
the executive officers agreement of last
August is also a violation of the inter
state commerce law has not caused any
loss of sleep to the passenger officials
who are carrying on the fight for COM
petitive party business in the good old
fashioned way
The presidents of the western roads at
recent meetings in Chicago and st. Louis
have Just agreed to affirm the general
pass agreement now in effect.
At the meeting of the Western Passen-
ger association in ChicSSo the other day
the passenger officials declared that
most of their trouble was due to the fact
that the scalDers of Chicago have an
almost unlimited number of return
passes for live stock shippers issued by
the freight departments.

Report of Salinas TFUant Officer sat

There is not a boy or girl in the city
between the ages of six and sixteen
years that is not enrolled in school,
said Truant Officer r. o. Brown this
morning, land this is the first time
it has ever been so since the truant
law was passed three years ago. A
few of them are not very regular, but
to the best of my knowledge there is
not one in the city that has not en-
rolled. We have begun this year at the
beginning of the fall work, and that is
the reason we are so successful.
Last year we didn't begin until
Christmas; and the year befere-the
first year-the law was difficult to en-
force. BY truancy we mean any alb
sence from school without an excuse
from the parents. The teachers report
to me each evening, and any truants
are looked up at once. Even half
days absence, if no excuse is brought
from the parents, is truancy, and some
times when the excuse is not sufficient
the case is looked up anyway. It's
strict, of course, but it is the only way
to do, and the per cent Of attendance
I'm the schools this year shows the good
results. "-Salina Journal.

that his company would build a line
from Medicine Lodge northwest into

expense to the people. This announce

Rock Island Decides to Remove Word
From Trademark.
The word System" as applied to the
Rock Island trademark is also to dis
appear from everything belonging to
the road. The Frisco started the in
novauOn and the Rock Island has now
ordered that every car, every bit of
rolling stock, every piece of printed
matter, and in fact everything relating
to the road bear only the words Rock
Island"
This move on the part of the rail-
roads it is understood, is caused by
legal opinion. When the question of
railway ownership came up in certain
cases witnesses would be asked if they
were employed, say by the Frisco
system" If the answer was a denial,
the object being to show consolidation
of the lines, the witness would be
asked why the word System" appear
ed on the cards and letter heads.
It is explained that the move is not
designed to cover anything, but mere
~ to simplify matters as showing that
the roads in question are one line each
and not a collection of lines under the
title system

MISSOURI PACIFIC UP A TREE.
Unable, to Get Men, Who Were Laid

Fort Scott. kan. Nov. Missouri
Pacific officials are having a hard time
in securing men to work in the shops,
the fact that the
company laid off more than zoo men
less than three weeks ago. The order
from St. Louis the other day to put
forty men to work in the car shops
has not been complied with because
of the fact that the men are not to be
had. 1t was thought that most of the
men would be glad to return to work.
but it appears that every road in the
country is hunting men for shop work
and When-it gets hold of a good man
all inducements are offered to keep
him. Men who own their property in
Fort Scott are willing to return to
work. while those who rent have Sc
cured employment at other points and
refuse to return to Fort Scott. Less
than twenty of the forty men have
been put to work since the last order
came from st. Louis to increase the
force, simply because more men are
not available.
