 Any investigation which might be made by the government will almost certainly fall just short of uncovering the secrets of this tank line outfit with it's compli- cated system of erroneous tares which serve the same purpose as rebates on oil freight. The Standard Oil people hold up their hands righteously and assert that they have enjoyed no rebates since tho passage of the Interstate Commerce law, but they do not have the nerve to say that they have not received com pensating advantages by reason of marking up the tares of their tank cars.
 The ways devised by the trust for beat ing the rebate devil around the stump are ingenious and effective. The United States Steel Corporations the Building Stone Trust and man.- other special in- terests attain the saf1s end through own ership of railroads, by means of which they can manipulate schedules for the securing of rebates lit is expecting too much of small calibre government em- ployes willing to work for picayune sal aries to have sense and experience sufficient to get to the real bed rock bot tom of abuses they are called upon to discover and cure. If they were clever enough to do the work right they would not be in the government employ. The trusts would need them and would get them.

have called these the inside nerves for simplicitys sake. Their usual name is the sympathetic" nerves. Physicians call them by this name because they are so closely allied-because each is in such close sympathy with the others. The re- suit is that when one branch is allowed to become impaired, the others weaken That is why one kind of sickness leads to another. That is why cases become .'eom- plicated." For this delicate nerve is the most sensitive part of the human system.
 Does this not explain to you some of the uncertainties of medicine-is it not a good reason to your mind why other kinds of treatment may have failed?
 Don't you see that THIS Is NEW in medicine? That this is NOT the mere patchwork of a stimulant-the mere soothingI of a narcotic? Don't you see that it goes right to the root of the trou- ble and eradicates the cause?

Traction Strike Useless.

Between the necessities of the ear com panies to earn dividends and interest on extravagantly inflated capitalization and the incorporate and offensively urged de- mands of illy-equipped labor leaders, The 100000 people of New York were this week subjected to the discomforts, in- conveniences, losses and dangers of an utterly useless strike. There has been bad faith on both sides and callous disregard of the rights of the community By unhappy fate the companies have cursed themselves with the employment of a slave driver named Hedley whose speciality is fo demoralize and irritate woriingmen under his direction The men, on the other hand. have been repre- sented by leaders manifestly unable to cope with the storm they raised or to impress their employers or enlist the sym pathy of the public. The narrow self pride of a lot of little men figured con- spicuousIy and served to delay settlement

"Advance: A Magazine of Inspiration
 Published in Birmingham, Ala.
 There have been number of magazine enterprises started in Birmingham but Advance is far ahead of all of them, and, as it claims for itself "gets better and brighter with each issue. 1t is evidently here to stay, and the many kind expres- sion of 1t heard on every side are not near as numerous as its popular young editor, MT. John R. Hornady, deserves.
 The February issue was decidedly the best and most attractive issue in the history of Advance, being enlarged to the popular magazine size; but the March number, which has just appeared is an Improvement even on the last. It fully sustains it's ambitious title, "A Magazine of Inspiration" and each article is timely, interesting and helpful ''The Girl in Brown writes a very suggestive article or/"The Modern Card Party; and the i9hly trouble about it is that every reader will fit the remarks close and snug on her friend--but never on herself

Joke On Lawson.

A New York who went to Boston re- gently to see Tom Lawson was impressed with the organized anxiety of the great mans secretaries and lackeys to create the idea that he Is everlastingly and in- tensely busy. According to the reports of those individuals every minute of Lawsons time is scheduled for weeks ahead, and to gain audience with him is mark of extraordinary favor and com descension. This sort of thing is regard- ed in the home circles of Boston as d joke. It Is related that a newspaper man who has the entre to the inner sanctum broke in unc aremonorslv on one of the der with his big office desk strewn with recent busiest days and found the won- fifty or sixty neckties which he was try- in,s on one after another and making se- leciions for the immediate future He had been thus occupied for an hour or more while his office force was clubbing away visitors and standing them off bv mysterious whispered statemen/s That their chief was occupied with affairs of vast importance and could not under any circumstances be disturbed.

We paid s1oo.oOo for the American rights to Liquozone: the highest price ever paid for similar rights in any scientific dis covery. We did this after testing the product for two years through physicians and hospitals. in this country and others. We cured all kinds of germ diseases with it-thousands of the most difficult cases ohslinable. We proved that in germ troubles it always accomplishes what medicine cannot do. Now we ask you to try it-try 1t at our expense. Test it as we did; see what 1t does. Then you will use 1t always as we do, and as millions of others do. You will use it not only to get well, but to keep well. And 1t VIII save nearly all of your sickness.

Kills Inside Germs

Liquozone is not made by compound ,ng 5rues. nor is there alcohol In it. Its virtnes are derived solely from gas largely oxygen gas-by process requir- ing immense apparatus and IA days time. This process has, for more than 20 years. been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research.
 The result is a liquid that does what oxygen does. It is nerve food and blood food-the most helpful thing in the world to YOU. It's effects are exhilarating, VI talizing. purifying. Yet it is a germicide so certain that we publish on every bot tie an offer of 5000 for disease germ that it cannot kill. The reason that germs are vegetables; and liquozone-hke an excess of oxygen--is deadly to vegetal matter.
 There lies the great value of Liauozone.

For Stomach Troubles

The stomach is controlled by delicate nerve called the solar plexus. Prize fighters know that blow over the stom- ach-a solar plexus blow-means a sure knockout. For this nerve is ten times as sensitive as the pupil of your eye. Yet the solar plexus Is only one of the centers of the great inside nerve--the power nerve It is one of the master nerves. The stomach is it's slave. Practically all stomach trouble is nerve trouble-inside nerve trouble-solar plexus trouble Dr. Shoops Restorative strengthens the in- side nerves-strengthens the solar piexus- and the stomach trouble disappears.

For Kidney Troubles

The kidneys are the blood filters. They are operated solely by the inside nerves The branch which operates them and re- gulates them is called the renal plexus. When the renal plexus is weak or irregu- lar the kidneys become clogged with the very poisons they should throw off. No kidney treatment can clean them out or cure them and one stage leads into an- other until after a while the kidneys themselves begin to break down and dis solve. There is only one way to reach kidney trouble-that is through the in- side nerves that control them. which Dr. Shoops Restorative alone strengthens and restores

For Heart rouble

Your heart beats more than ten thou sand times day. And every heart beat is an impulse of the inside nerve branch called the cardiac plexus. The heart is a muscle, but it is the nerve that makes the muscle do the work. An irregular or weak heart is, almost in every instance the direct result of a weak or irregular nerve inside nerve. To cure heart trouble, re- store the nerve to normal. Dr. Shoop's Restorative will restore the cardiac plexus just as it restores the solar plexus. and the renal plexus. For all are equal parts of the great inside nerve system the power nerves-the master nerves.

Inside Nerves

ANCIVCo
 Only one out of every 9S has perfect health. Of the 97 sick ones, some are bed ridden, some are half sick, and some are only dull and listless. But most of the sickness comes from a common cause. The nerves are weak. Not the nerves you ordinarily think about-not the nerves that govern your movements and your thoughts.
 But the nerves that, unguided and un~ known, night and day, keep your heart in motion-control your digestive appara- tus-reguate your liver-operate your kid neys.
 These are the nerves that wear out and break down.
 It does no good to treat the alling or gan-the irregular heart-the disordered liver-the rebellious stomaeh-the de :. ranged kidneys. They are not to blame. But go back to the nerves that control them. There you will find the seat of the trouble.
 There is nothing new about this-noth- ing any physician would dispute. But it remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge-to put. it to practical use. Dr. Shoops Restorative Is the result of quarter century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain-but it does go at once to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power nerve-and builds it up. and strengthens it and makes it well.

Trusts Are Prepared.


 The trusts. against which sharpest public criticism have been and is being directed, appear to bc fully prepared for any investigation which the government may make into their affairs They have no fear Of such inquisitions as are us- ually conducted under governmental au- spices. Many years ago Armour S Co. faced congressional committee and proved that they were making mere shaving of per cent or less on an enor- mous investment in business. It leaked out afterwards that the Investigating committee had been hoodwinked by clever bookkeeping The big meat con corn, it seems. had it's business divided Into a large number of departments or bui eaus, which were treated on the books as customers of tho parent house. except that they bought at cost prices, or as nearly so as could be estimated. Ii was then up to the hands of the va- rious subdivisions t3 make as good a showing as possible and every effort was directed to that end. The investiga- tcrs were given an opportunity to look over the sales books of the parent insti- tuition, which some years showed q small loss and other years a small gain. The real results of the huge business, how ever were never disclosed to the public view. All the meat companies in the trust learned to conduct their business or the same lines, thereby concealing the actual value of net profits, which have been uninterruptedly large.

HoadIey,s pefeat Was Expected.

Hoadiey'S Defeat was Expected.
 The defeat suffered by J. IT. Ioadley in his attempt to consolidate the southern iron and coal properties was not entire- ly unexpected in Wall street. In that quarter MT. Hoadley Is recognized as an exceedingly smart man, but lacking in those essential qualities which command confidence. He has led his followers to many a disastrous fall and the latest ex- perience is therefore not a new one. From each defeat he arises sailing and hopeful. Touching the southern iron mat ter he says he is far frim being down and out and that the deal is merely in allowance. He refuses to acknowledge that 1t has been abandoned or that 1t will fail of consumr ation. He has no fear of the powerful Hanover bank interests and says he will triumph over them ultimate lv. He relies with sublime confidence in tho good faith Of James Henry Smith in the transaction and says he will have tho handling Of that gentleman's stock in Tennessee Coal and Iron until the end. The speculative issue is as to the exact location of the end. Mir. Smith has never been noted for excessive independence ex- cept in one instance where he stood bv William Rockefeller in refusing to sell St. Paul to MT. Morgan three years ago. Mir.
