Mackenzie, a cattleman with extensive
interests in.-C Colorado and Texas, COM
planned before the senate committee on
J Interstate commerce today of inequai-
tiles, determinations and poor service
on the part of the railroads in the mat
ter of transportation of cattle.
He cited instances of delay in ship
ments to the market, saying that such
delays often meant the loss of dollar
a head. He admitted that shippers had
protection under existing laws, but said
that in most cases the cost of legal pro-
ceedings would be greater than the
value of the stock.
He said the cattlemen want power
given to the interstate commerce COM
regulate the character OF service.
In continuing the statement begun by
him yesterday Judge S. II. Cowan, rep
resenting the southwestern cattlemen,
took up the question of railroad rates
on cattle Shipments He said that there
HdQ DeeIl d. STOSo iiiCiedoc oiiiCc 1o0os
the average increase in shipments from
Texas points being S1s cents per hun
dred pounds.
Questioned by Senator Elkins as to
whether there had been a correspond
ing increase in the price of beef, the
witness replied rnat the reply to that
question would depend upon the view
point.
'"To the man who buys beef there has
been an increase" he said, "but to the
man who sells there has been de-
cline"
Mr.. Cowan urged that a commission
would be just as competent to adjust
rates as were the railroad traffic men,
because the data upon which rates
must be based were as available to one
man as another.
But" suggested Senator Elkins, "the
consolidation of railroads destroys COM
petition" to which Judge Cowan as
sented most heartedly, saying that was
the point of his contention.
He claimed that through its decisions
the supreme court of the United States
practically had repealed the third and
fourth sections of the interstate COM
,merce law relating to preferences.

Ayers Mental DuIIness Of Poor
Children Is Due to Drinking
Coffee and Beer

gpeca to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-In explaining
the system of classification recently
adopted by the school board for the
disposal of backward children, DIR.
Brown of the board of health made
this statement today:
Every child with the slightest de-
ficiency receives special examination.
If he is blind or deaf he is sent to an
institution where the deficiency is
given special treatment and possibly
cured.
"In like manner an imbecile is often
made into useful citizen. But for
the idiot there is absolutely no hope.
When it is found he is too far gone
for the surgeons knife to help, his life
would better be extinguished.
"Idiotic children should be drowned.
We would then have more time and
energy to spend on children in whom
there are possibilities of success.
For imbeciles who have less mental
depravity, and weak-minded pupils
we have training classes. In another
class we teach the slow. Ten there Is
the sunruly, lazy pupil. who is put in
a disciplinary class. Already we have
these various classes in seventeen
schools"
DIR. Brown ascribed much of the de-
ficiency of poor children to dullness
brought on by drinking coffee and
beer

AMERICAN STEAMER CAPTURED
M. S. Dollar, Laden With Provisions

for VIadivostok, Taken by Jsps
BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 2S.-The American
steamer M. S. Dollar, en- route for
Vladivostok with a cargo of provisions
and forage was seized yesterday by the
Japanese in the Pacific ocean east of
Hokkaido Island.
A dispatch from London dated Janu-
ary % stated that a steamer with a
black funnel encircled with two red
bands was ashore at Vladivostok and
that it was supposed to be the M. S.
Dollar sailing from San Francisco on
December 81, but no details of the ac-
cident to the big steamer have been
received. 1T was deemed possible that
she had been run ashore purposely to
avoid capture by Japanese warships.
The M. S. Dollar was formerly the
British steamer Arab, built in 1890 at
Newcastle, England. She was subse-
quently sold to the Dollar Steamship
company of San Francisco. The Lon
don dispatch further stated that the M.
s. Dollar had been posted on the over
due board in that city at rate of
thirty guineas. In San Francisco the
vessel has been posted as an overdue
with a rate of 80 per cent quoted for
reinsurance.

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE IT'S
OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force II to
Work When 1t Is Not Able or You
VIII Suffer All the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as some
men treat a balky horse; force, drive or
even starVe IL into doing work at which
il rebels, The stomach is patient and
faithful servant and Will stand much
abuse and iil-treatment before it "balks,
but when il does, YOU had better go slow
with IL and not attempt TO make 1T work.
Some people have the mistaken idea that
they can make their Stomachs work by
starving themselves. They might cure
the stomach that way, but it would take
so long that they would have no use for
a stomach when they got through. The
sensible way out of the difficulty is 10
let the stomach rest Il il wants 10 and
employ a substitute to do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the
work of your stomach for YOU and di-
gest your food just as your stomach used
70 when II was well. You can prove
this by putting your food IN glass jar
with one Of the tablets and sufficient
wafer and you will see the food digested
in lust the same time as the digestive
fluids of the stomach would do IL. That
will satisfy your mind. Now. 10 satisfy
both your mind and body, take one Of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after eating
eat all and what YOU want-and you
viii feel In your mind that your food Is
being digested because you will feel no
disturbance or weight in your stomach
in fact. YOU will forget all about having
stomach, Just as you did when you
were healthy boy or girl
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in a
natural way because they contain only
he natural elements of the gastric
juices and other digestive fluids OF the
stomach. II makes no difference what
condition the stomach L. In they go
right ahead OF their own accord and do
their work. They know their business.
aud surrounding conditions do not In
fiuence them in the least. They thus
relieve the weak stomach OF all it's bur

and permit il 10 become strong and
