University Men in Politics.

In the recent Italian elections no
fewer than thirty nine university men
were elected to the parliament-name-
ly, eighteen ordinary and four extra
ordinary professors and seventeen pri-
vatdocents; or. according to another
arrangement, twenty-five jurists, ten
lIedical men, five from the philosoph-
zeal faculties, and two representing po-
litical economy. The University of
Naples heads the list, with fourteen
representatives, followed by Rome
with eleven. Padua has two. Bologna
two, Parma two, Ferrara one, Messina
one, Modena two. Catania one, and
Pavia one. Politically, these academic
parliamentarians are distributed as
follows: twenty-five are constitution
alists, nine radicals. five social demo-
Gratis, and three republicans.

Fixing Railroad Rates.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing game Of checkers or chess. Com
munitieS to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided,
represent III" pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing Of freight rates may mean the
ruin Of city. Of a great manufacture
Ing interest, OF an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
all these 50 that each may have an
Sagual chance in the sharp competition
of business. SO sensitive to this rival
Try are the railroads that in order to
}build up business along their lines they
Frequently allow the shipper to prac
tticalIy dictate rates. Rate-m2king has
been a matter Of development; of mu-
tu4l concessions for mutual benefit.
That is why the railroads Of the Uni
ted States have voluntarily made
freight rates 50 much lower in this
country than they are On the govern
quent-OwnCi and operated railways OF
Europe and Australia that they are
now the lowest transportation rates ID

1913 buildings Of various sizes and for
various purposes, of which 9S are
owned by the school and used for edu-
catiOnal purposes. The remainder
are the homes of teachers and en-
pioyes. The school owns $500 acres
of land, practically in one block. Of
which 800 acres are now under cult
walton; 600 acres are pasture and the
remainder is woodland upon which
erect the buildings and wood for
burning brick and heating purposes.
The land cost less than $40 per acre;
much Of it is to-day worth more than
$500 an acre.
Every building upon the grounds
was designed and erected by the fac
ulty and students without outside
help, and at least a dozen of them
cost more than $4,000 each, the max
imum representing an investment of

Williams Pink Pills are the remedy to

Were Good for Both.

Paulding, Miss, May 15.-(Special.)
In this neighborhoOd men and wOm-
en- alike are telling Of the great bene-
tit they have received from the use OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it frequently
happens they are the means Of curing
members of both sexes in the same
family. Take the case of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Erby. The latter voices the senti-
ment of both when she says:
MY lips cannot express too much
praise for Dodd's Kidney Pills. | suf-
fered with Backache and Female
weakness for four or five years and l
feel that | have been wonderfully help
ed by Dodd'S Kidney Pills. My hus-
band, too, was a sufferer for five years
from weak bladder and they also
cured him"
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kidneys
ever had female weakness.
