Senator Asks Witness Hard
Question to Answer

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 1.-The
senate committee on interstate commerce
today continued its hearing on the subject
of railroad rate legislation. James j.
Hooker. chairman of the Receivers and
Shippers association. of Cincinnati. said
that a reduction OF rates was not re-
quired. but that Encouragement was de-
manded-
He favored a readjustment of rates to
meet cases where certain localities were
Disseminated against by giving to the in
terstate commerce commission full au-
thorfty to make such adjustments.
The passage of the Esch-Townsend
bill was advocated by Mr. Hooker Chair
man EIkins asked: What would you do

BACKS THE STAND OF
PRESIDENT SPENCER
Winchell of the Rock Island
Supports His Position
on Rate Law

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-B. L. Winchell,
president OF the Rock Island, tonight gave
out the following statement in regard to
the proposed government resolution Of
freight rates:
THE statement issued last night by
Samuel Spencer. president OF the South
ern railway, In regard to the supervision
of freight rates by the government, seems
to me to be a sane and truthful expression
of the situation as 1t appears to the rail-
way men of the United States. heartily
agree with Mr.. Spencer in all that he says.
AS the subject has been raised, there are
q, few points, however, which should like
to make in addition. The first Is that
aside from public utterances of various
commercial organizations, / have not
found that there is any deep-seated desire
of business men in general for the estab-
lishment of rate-making power of the
railroads. ''--.-.
The second is that in discussing the
question of rate supervision with many
Interested persons 1 have not found one
who did not admit when pressed that his
real objection was to secret rebates. As
Mr. Spencer in his statement explained
there Is no relation between the two, but
based his demand for rate supervision on
the secret rebates. which none OF the pro-
posed legislation can touch.
1.-The most important point Of all is that
those who have any real desire for a rate
making power at Washington are accen-
tuated by desire for the commercial bet
another and that desire can never be sat
isfied.
Geography can't be made over and no
legislative power in Washington can ever
have any authority that will enable. us to
change the map.

BLOOD KILLS GERMS
Good Blood Made by Good Food

If one can surely turn food into good
red blood, it will combat any and every
disease known and conquer completely
more times than the disease will win.
Any physician will tell you that good
rich blood and plenty of it is the best
germicide known and surely and safely
cures disease when medicines fail, so
the effort of the doctor is to give food
that digests and quickly makes blood.
No food ever discovered will do this
as certainly as GrapeNuts. which is
predigested at the pure food factories
where it is made.
One of the many Illustrations is that
of tuberculosis, which refuses to yield
to medicine. but must give way to good
blood. A man from Philadelphia writes:
Il have been fighting tuberculosis for
some years, and with weak stomach
was losing ground slowly every year. 1

men and their devotion to myself and
pardon their transgression. Return to

The emperor told the men to COM
municate his words to their comrades
and said he would supply them printed
copies of his address.
The deputation proceeded to a neigh
boring church where they prayed and
after kissing ikons placed lighted can
dies before the shrines. Subsequently
they were given dinner in a building
which formerly was the high school of
Tsarskoe Salo. One proposed the
health of the emperor, which was drunk
with cheers.

THREE SMALL FIRES
THREATEN THE CITY
Mill District Is Endangered
and Business Houses Are
Threatened

Three small fires threatened the milling
and business district in Minneapolis last
night. The first one was a small black
smith shop on Fifth avenue south, near
First street, and the fire apparatus which
responds to the first alarm in this district
was called out. Then another alarm was
turned in from Washington avenue, and
other apparatus was summoned to the
scene, for the milling district was threat
ened. The fire did little damage.
In the meantime the apartments at No.
Jos First avenue south, which had been
vacated by Yokohama LIZ at the re-
quest of the city administration, were
found to be on fire, and another alarm was
sounded.
About the same time the store at 400
Nicollet avenue, occupied by z. d. Best,
the optician, and Miss Hattie Whitted,
florist. caught fire, and the firemen from
the rural districts were summoned.
The total loss will be less than $1,000,
for the salvage corps covered the horse
shoes in the blacksmith shop with tar
paulins and the flowers in the florists

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II is |,
Preserving Health and Beauty

Preserving Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human sys-
TEN for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more YOU
take OF 1t the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purlties always present in the stomach
and intestineS, and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart s
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed OF
the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics, in tablet form.
or rather in the form of large pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion. sweeter
breath and purer blood and the beauty
of it is. that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the con-
trary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat also be-
neye the liver is greatly benefited by the
daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents

ONLYONE TREASURER
All Money Due the City VIII Be
Paid to Him

new system went into effect yester-
day and from this time on all money due
any of the city departments or boards.
except the municipal court must be paid
directly to the city treasurer.
The department most seriously affected
is the water department. where it has
been the custom for the cashier to receive
the money paid for water rents and to
turn the money over to the. treasurer.
The new system makes it necessary for
the city treasurer to have larger force,
for twice year the office will be crowded
with persons who will seek to make their
peace with the city.
board employees have received money due
these organizations, but in the future the
payments must be made directly TO the
treasurer.
In the case of delinquent subscribers it
is the city treasurer and not the super
visor of the water works, who shall say
when the water shall be turned off. The
men in the water works department will
have to do his bidding.
