No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking OF coffee nurse OF Wilkes
Barre. Pa. writes: Il used TO drink
strong coffee myself and suffered greatly
from headaches and indigestion While
on visit TO my brothers I had a good
chance TO try Postum Food Coffee. for
they drank 1t altogether in place OF or
binary coffee In two weeks. after using
Postum, 1 found I was much benefited
and finally nv headaches disappeared
and also the indigestion.
Naturally / have since used Postum
among my patients. and have noticed a
marked benefit where coree has been
left OFF and Postum used.
Il observe a curious fact about Pos
tum used among mothers 1t greatly
helps the flow of milk in cases where
coffee is inclined TO dry it up. and where
tea causes nervousness.
II find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most al
ways serve It before IL has been boiled
long enough 1t should be boiled fifteen
or twenty minutes and served with
cream. when il is certainly a delicious
beverage"
There's a reason for Postum.

GarfieId's Oil Report
To President Roosevelt

The report of Commissioner Garfield
is. in part as follows:
a general and very extensive investi-
cation has been conducted covering the
following subjects:
l. The crude oil production In the
United States and its. relation to thc
worlds supply; the prices and methods
of purchase.
, The use. development, and control
Of pipe lines
3. Refining OF oil: the control OF re-
fineries;' the cost Of refining and mar
keting: the prices of petroleum products.
4. The organization. ownership and
relation of the companies engaged in tn
production, manufacture and distribu-
ton OF OIL
.. The competitive methods used II
the production and sale of oil
o. Transportation and freight rates
I. Foreign trade and conditions and
their relation to the domestic industry
The preliminary study OF this material
showed that the most important subject
was transportation. because the cost OF
transportation is very large percentage
OF the total cost 10 the consumer or the
hnished product. and hence a most i'm
Dortant factor in competition
The control OF the Standard oil Com
panF over the entire oil industry is so
great as TO require a special study of
IT'S relations TO transportation com
ronies.
therefore first submit the accom-
panyinG report upon the subject Of rail-
way transportation and freight rates. AS

fair competitive methods after years Of
fierce Industrial strife.
Pipeline Monopoly.
The development of the pipeline sys-
tenn by the Standard OH Company was
the result OF special agreements with
railroad companies. Furthermore. those
so-caiied natural advantages have been
and are being greatly increased by dis
examinations In freight rates, both pub
hshed and secret, interstate and State
which give the Standard monopoIistic
control IN the greater portion of the
country, and which so limit competition
IS 20 practically prevent the extension
OF the business OF az independent to
a point which even remotely endangers
the supremacy OF The Standard
An immediate result Cf this delimita-
uon OF the competitive area is shown
by the prices of ordinary Illuminating
oil throughout the country After de-
Quoting the freight rate. the price Of oil
Is usually from cents 20 cents
gallon higher In the nOncouspetitive than
IN the competitive fields. \ reasonable
profit upon refined oil Is about one-half
cent gallon. IT is clear that eXOT-
pltant profits are obtained In the non
competitive fields This monopolistic
c-'rtrol extends from the well OF the
producer 10 the doorstep OF the con
sumner
N. Y. Central Kept Books Closed.
The facts regarding freight rates have
been obtained by the examination OF
thousands of entries upon railroad rec
ords. With but single important ex-
ception, railroad companies have, upon
application of the Bureau of Corpora
tons, given access TO records OF both
State and interstate business. The New
York Central Company refused for
itself and its affiliated lines to give ac-
cess TO records Of State rates At the
beginning OF this investigation the Of
ncials of the Standard oil Company
stated that tat company had not
obtained in recent years and was not
now obtaining any rebate or other trans
portat1on discrimination as against its
competitors. They Invited the most
careful investigation Of the subject
Upcn the request OF its attorney all
the essential facts discovered by this
bureau were presented to the company
al the close Of the investigation and
an exhaustive statement relating thereto
was made by its chief traffic officer
There was no denial OF the facts found.
but explanations Of particular situations
were offered, and IL WAS urged that the
facts did not show any violation by the
standard OF the letter or spirit Of the
interstate commerce law.

a most careful review OF the facts
and the-explanations leads to the follow
ing conclusion;
The Standard OIL Company has habit
ually received from the railroads and
is now receiving. secret rates and other
unjust and illegal Determinations
During 1904 the Standard saved about
threc-quarters OF million dollars
through the secret rates discovered by
the bureau. and OF course there may be
other secret rates which the bureau has
not discovered This amount represents
