The question of medication may In
the present writing be dismissed with
a very brief reference. 1t has been
found unnecessary to extend it great

the treatment of symptoms. Stimula-

found of but little demand or use, and
the quantities consumed-always un-

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

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
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the
ruin of city, of great manufacture
ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
ton 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 %
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
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta-
ton rates in the world.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playf
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dalton. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list of
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
