ARRIVING at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 10.-(Specia1)-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. l.. Dawson of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
81 have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty, years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine l have eve taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and l can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since l took Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney PilIss
the result would be considered wonder.
full If it were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at a verdict that
'Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

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 futile of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a 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, a~ggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a 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
| and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the CUSTOM
airy 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 readable
market, even in carrying them in large
quantities to a 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 Main Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
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 it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crops and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken.
because it is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce'
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
? been subjected to governmental limi'
: tations they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-ETchan0e.
