While Wall street realizes that there
will be no railroad rate legislation at
present it is not entirely assured as re-
CARDS the future. Henry Clews dis
cussing the subject in the Financial
Review says: The certainty that there
VIII be no rate-fxing legislation this
session Of congress served to strengthen
the market, although Wall street never
seriously entertained the idea that gov
eminent control of private property
would ever be carried to the extent
proposed. The most serious aspect
however, of this rate-fixing idea is the
manifestation Of hostile spirit to capi-
tai; not in a time of adversely and dis
content. but during the high tide of
prosperity. The haste with which the
house. by a heavy majority. passed so
important a measure as the rate-fxinE
bill without even serious discussion,
depending upon the senate to prevent
enactment. showed a state of public
opinion not very assuring. After a
campaign OF education. however. the
house may become less radical on the
rate question; yet there is a warning
IN the hasty action taken that should
not pass without attention Deep
rooted in the public mind there is a
growing prejudice against concentrated
wealth and corporation abuses. Much
Ct this prejudice is perfectly sane and
sound. having its foundation in q whole
ssme dislike of the great monopolies
and trusts which dominate many of our
chief industries by methods and abuses
that threaten to corrupt our politics
and TO destroy our time-honored ideas
sf individualism."

woman whose eyes were affected by the
hairs She tied raw onions over them and
went to bod.

woman the pain from the onions wasa relief

all her trouble had disappeared
The habit of the caterpillar in wintering
over in webs at the tips Of the branches
gives the key to the simplest and cheapest
remedy, which is merely to cut of and
burn the webs during the fall winter OF
summer. This preventive means is most
effective, and it gives such excellent results
that in Germany, France and Belgium
there are laws making it obligatory on
property owners to destroy the webs dur

"A great many accidents to automobiles

An ignorant driver will do things which

My wife was badly injured once in run

pants Of the car from dust and dirt and
wind; it's shock absorbers. manly other &C.
cessories and it's roominess all make
for the comfort Of the passengers.
The number of comfort securing devices
applied to automobiles in the last few years
is surprising. Clocks, mirrors and pockets
for every kind Of article that can conceiva-
bly, be needed on a tour are now among
the regular fittings Of the touring car.
Automobiles have been built with con-
vertible bed or berth at one side, to be let
down like the berths in modern sleeping
car, and in which the owner can sleep at
night while on tour il he chooses. Some
are equipped with stationary wash basins
in corner or under a seat, and indeed with
all the toilet arrangements to be found
in the modern railway sleeping car.
Touring in automobiles is becoming
an increasingly popular way of spending
a summer vacation. Trips Of 400 and 500
miles are probably the most popular among
owners Of motor cars. and such trips are
made now in practically every part of the
country.
Three Boston men last summer fitted up.
on touring model, a motor camping car
which proved practicable and in which
they spent the month Of October in most
enjoyable outing trip through New Hamp-
shire and the Maine woods. They built
strong frame 10 feet long, 4 feet 10 inches
wide and feet high and rooted 1t over with
waterproof carriage leather.
From the frame they suspended, four feet
below the roof, spring bed feet long
and 4 feet wide, supplied with hair mat
tress and blankets. Curtains made 1t
possible to turn the body of the car into q
cozy and comfortable room.
Under the bed they stored an aluminium
camp outfit, clothing gasoline and pro.
visions. An electric heater was used fol
cooking purposes and as radiator when
so needed.
