For Plain Attire.

The best thing that was said In any
pulpit in the United States yesterday
was uttered by parson in Des Moines,
Iowa. Rev. DIR. Mcconnell declared
that the decadence of church going was
because attendants-especiall at Pro-
testant churches-wore the most ex-
pensive clothes they possessed. This
had the effect of keeping away the
poor, plainly attired people. In max
ing the usual announcements for future
services this long-headed parson said:
Please note that all people attending
services here are requested to wear
plain and inexpensive clothing in or
der that no one, however humble. may
be embarrassed" This man is on the
right track. Dress is the barrier be-
tween church attendance and the
poorer classes. OF course, it is not ex-
pected that a man will go to the house
OF worship in his overalls. 1t is to be
hoped he wouldn't sit down to dinner
in such garb-certainly not II he loves
and respects his wife. who cooks the
meal.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers. cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation. is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle Of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
OF the localities which it serves.
A main dependence OF the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find mar.
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine TO all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out.
put of the truck farms of Michigan.
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to q place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate. which 1t
did. BY means of these low rates.
making possible low prices. the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads. had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times. to all places. they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease In its revenue from potatoes.
but 1t enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. II the making OF
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken.
because 1t is well established that I!

company 1t cannot be restored through
the red tape OF governmental proce-
dure. II the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi.

keep up their rates as do the railroads

tories are completing between 1900

the leading firms find it impossible to
meet the demand, The coming of the
cheap cycle has reyolutionized the
market.
The incoming of the autimatic tool
and the partial employment of female
labor in the lighter sides of manufac-
ture have helped somewhat to lessen
costs. but the great demand this year
has sent up wages in some branches.

In this section OF Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid

cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as

follows:

for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine l have ever taken.

Considering that Mrs. Dawson only

porting similar results daily. Kushe-

"Dodd's Kidney pills are the one sure
