FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited. producers,
manufacturers or shippers TO be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. a false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the.
ruin of city, of great manufactur-
ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity Railroads strive to build up.
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
tion of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 20
practically dictate rates. Rate MAX
ing has been matter of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit That is why the railroads OF
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta'
tion rates in the world.

HISTORIC cHicKAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced GratiiSinely
Successful-Six and One-HaIf Miles
OF Mains-SixtyFive Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one OF the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
icaI Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 90, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-fve principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles Of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
SO gratifying and the superiority
of the iIluminant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-

this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number Of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
ernment institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect Of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, Ca manufactured

tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
1t is a matter for national congratu-
lation that in beautifying so historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best, including the lighting sys-
tenn, has been deemed good enough
for the American people.

An Oakland lady who has a taste
for good literature. tells what happy
time she had on The Road to Well
ville.' She says:
Il drank coffee freely for eight
years before l began to perceive any
evil effects from it. Then | noticed
that l was becoming very nervous,
and that my stomach was gradually
losing the power to properly assimi-
late my food. In time / got so weak
that l dreaded to leave the house
for no reason whatever but because of
the miserable condition of my nerves
and stomach. | attributed the trouble
to anything in the world but coffee,
of course. l dosed myself with medi-
cines, which in the end would leave
me in a worse condition than at first.
l was most wretched and discourag-
ed-not 80 years old and feeling that
life was a failurei
Il had given up all hope of ever
enjoying myself like other people, till
one day l read the little book The
Road TO Wellville." 1t opened my
eyes, and taught me a lesson shall
never forget and cannot value too
highly. / Immediately quit the use
of the old kind of coffee and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. | noticed
the beginning of an Improvement in
the whole tone Of my system, after
only two days use of the new drink.
and in very short time realized that
/ could go about like other people
without the least return of the ner-
vous dread that formerly gave me so
much trouble. In fact my nervous
ness disappeared entirely and has
never returned, although it is now a
year thatI have been drinking Postum

like iron-nothing can upset it.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play?
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton. it was severely criticised and
rOundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
ii have failed to controVert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements Of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
tue Charges COuld1H uulOunuSu SSuSd-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking g
methods. it may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
