RATE REGULATION BILL.
The President and Legislators Will
Look After the Peoples
Interests.

MOI anly will the railroad rate regu.
latiop oil be passed, but 1t will be q
bill to which the clearest brains and
most patriotic spirits In congress will
give hearty approval. Every day brings
nearer to unity of view the different
opinions as to the character of the leg.
islation that should be enacted, says tho
Troy Times.
This pleasing tendency is due to two
facts: The insistence of the president
that action shall be taken, and his Will
ingness to approve such a measure as
shall meet all constitutional and legal
objections.
The president is Irresistible in this
matter, as in SO many others, because
1t is un~questionable that freight rates In
many cases have been excessive and in
equitable. While there is no disposition
to underrate the immense service Of rail-
roads in opening up territory 10 markets,
the residents in those districts believe
that the discriminating rebate is not an
inevitable adjunct of such progress.
The enormous growth of corporate
power within recent years has carried
with 1t the necessity for regulation, the
alternative being, as many %sagacious OBJ
servers have commented, the substitu-
ton of a socialistic system under which
the established distinctions as to prop
erty ownership would be obliterated.
The thinking citizen prefers that the
people in their administrative capacity
should regulate the use of franchises
which they themselves have given
rather than that everything should be
turned over to a commune, with the un-
fortunate history which has attended
such experiments.
President Roosevelt believes that a
bill can be passed which will protect the
interests of the shippers and at the same
time do no injustice to the railroads.
Such a measure is rapidly coming into
existence. The Hepburn bill is the near
est point which has yet been reached to
the ideal, and it is evident that with
little amendment 1t will become as salts
factory to the senate as it is proving to
be in the house of representatives.
This much is certain: A railroad rate
| regulation bill will pass congress. 1t
will pass with the concurrence of those
| legislators who are most devoted to the
interests Of the country at large. 1t
will be due to the wisdom, energy and
determination of President Roosevelt,
and 1t will appeal to the approving SEN
timent of the nation in such a way as to
| diminish the friction existing in many
places between the corporations and the
people, and to convince all that in order
to make the train of popular government
run smoothly it is not necessary either
to throw it off the track or to permit the
engineer to run past warning signals. :

HINTS TO
Add 1t just once more.

Add 1t just once more.
Il pays to take q balance Of ball
nncss.
Better think about 1t at the time;
some think about 1t at the end OF the
month.
Look for the exact amount of your
erro-; you possibly overlooked It in
posting.
Have you any systematic way Of
checking" Check as you post; ito
easier and quicker.
Divide 1t by two and look for a
debit on the credit side, or for q
credit on the debit side.
II you make an error, carefully rule
a line through 1t with red ink; then
write the correction above 1t.
Remember that the books are firm
property, and you are at liberty to re-
veal no secrets they may contain.
BE sure to put the books in the
vault each night; you will never real
ize the value of this %precaution until
you've had a fire.
Study the needs Of the business;
plan special rulings to facilitate the
handling of the business. Do not
make radical changes at a time.
Don't be in a hurry to suggest new
methods to the senior member of the
firm. He is likely to think he knows
more about his business than you do.
How about your writing? And your
English? And your spelling? Or do
you know nothing but bookkeeping?
II YOU do not, you'll eve be the
manager. you'll always be the book
keeper.
II it's exactly divisible by nine, look
out for a ~transposition, such as 1881,
27-72, 1868, etc. The number OF
times MN is contained in the error
will be the difference between the
trapsposed digits. Illustration: Say
As Is the error; it contains nine just
five times; hence the transposed digits
mus, have been 16 as 61, ~ IS 72, 80
as SO, 40 as "a, etc.

The Fres. Of the w. @. T. U. in Q
young giant state in the Northwest
says:
II did not realize that l was a slave
to coffee till l left on drinking it. For
three or four years I was obliged to
take a nerve tonic every day. Now
/ am free, thanks to Postum Food
Coffee.
"After finding out what coffee will
do to its victims, I could hardly stand
to have my husband drink It.: but he
was not willing to quit. I studied for
months to find a way to induce him
to leave 1t on. Finally / told him I
would make. no more coffee.
Il got Postum Food Coffee, and made
1t strong-boiled 1t the required time,
and had him read the little book. The
Road to Wellville,' that comes in every
pkg.
To-day Postum has no stronger adj
vocate than my husband! He tells our
friends how to make It. and that he
got through the winter without a spell
Of the grip and has not had q headache
for months-he used to be subject to
frequent nervous headaches.
THE stronger you drink Postum the
more food you get; the stronger you
drink coffee the nor poison you get

TWITCHINC NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

- = "
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af-
flicted in regular succession Ill genera
ton after another of their family are, as
q rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
Less to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 400
East Seventh street., Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years / suffered from q trying
nervousness i'll my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother IL my
grandmother had suffered before mo.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
SON was realizing benefit from the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, / thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. / often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and / ceased to-use the remedy.
l evidently stopped a little too oon for
nervousness came back after a month or
so and / used the pills again for a short
time. Relief came at once and since l
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return OF the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases OF bloodlessness, indiges-
ton. influenza. headaches, lumbago. sci;
weaknessand the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,
