mDnsly by secret rates, partly at the

of the investigation. il II stated. all

many railroads of secret rates. Mr..
Garfield gives in detail many instances
Of violation az existing laws, which
however. he believes, need strengthen

IN the full report submitted the com
mission reaches these coielusions
The general result of the inyestiga
tion has been to disclose the existence
of numerous and fragrant discrinina-
tions NJ the railroads in behalf Of the
STANDARD Oil company and its affiliated
corporations. With comparatively few
exceptions. mainly Of other li,rge CON
Germs in California, the Standard has
been the sole beneficiary Of such discrim-
nations In almost every section Of
the country that company has been
found to enjoy some unfair advantage
over its competitors, and some Of these
DETERMINATIONS affect enormous areas.
DETERMINATIONS in the tIansporta-
tion % oil embrace variety Of forms,
the more important of which may be
classed under the following heads:
II Secret and semi secret rates.
q. Discriminate in the open ar
fangemeutS Of rates.
3. Determinations in classification
aud rules OF shipment.
- Discrimination in treatment Of
private tank ears
MANY OF the secret rates discovered
BY the bureau Of corporations have APP
piled only on shipments Of oil wholly
within single states. Standard Oil,
which controls redneries in twelve
states. Is obviously in q position TO make
/. extensive use Of such interstate rates,

Mother Says;
"CUTlCURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

TN reply to your letter l write you
nv experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obstl-
nate case of eczema, l resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cutlcura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely we'll and there
has been no recurrence OF the trouble.
"In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cutisura Remedies, swashing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap and
anointed them with the Cuticura Olnt-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as We do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Another encouraging fact noted by the
commissioner is that statistics show an
increased income per COW from the

Gilman refers to the introduction OF
agricultural studies into the state nor

also urges the formation OF agrlcul-
