SALTY PLUNGE A TONIC AND BRACER
Few women there are who cannot indulge in
a frolic among the breakers. Some, on account
of the weak action of the heart, must forego
them; others, who ARE in a run down cond-
ton and of a highly nervous temperament, find
that the shock of the cold water is too great
for them But in the main most women take

There are certain things to- remember when
sea bathing. Never go into the water when
overheated; never stay in until you are chilled,
and after coming out lose no time before getting
back to your bath house and giving yourself a
good rubbing; hustle in, to your clothes as soon

CAR SHORTAGE SERIOUS
Coal Famine Continues, and Grain
Cannot Be Marketed.

Minneapolis Dec 1S.-The second day of the
Interstate Commerce Commission inquiry into
Northwest transportation conditions brought out
facts of first Importance relative TO the effects
upon the country of the grain blockade. The
commission had given over the first day very
largely to the fuel inquiry. with the idea Of re-
lieving distress. and to this end had sent tele-
grams of inquiry 10 many points. asking to
the coal supply and how long it would last.
kilograms began to pour in to-day. and when
representatives were In from over twenty towns
It was clear that the commission had acted none
too quickly in obtaining the promise of CO.
operation on the part of the coal companies and
the railroads in relieving distress. for in some
parts Of the country farmers have been burning
their fences and outbuildings. and in other towns
piles Of valuable lumber were cut up into fuel
10 keep people from freezing.
The farmers got into the inquiry later. They
came in numbers from North Dakota and told
the commission the story OF the effect of the
blockade upon the price of wheat. They said
prices had been depressed abnormally because
elevators We're full. that wheat lay the
ground at many points, that there was no open
market, and the farmers had either to sacrifice
in price or haul the wheat back home again. after
having offered it in some cases two three times.
L. ]. Weiser vice-presdent of the First Ma
uonal Bank of Fargo: A E. Swenson presi-
dent OF the Security State Bank, OF Barlow. and
other North Dakota bankers and farmers gave
testimony showing that failure to move the
crops had put the country commercially, in
straitened conditions. Farmers who had ample
means TO meet all obligations if they had been
able to turn the product into cash. could not
market their grain, and so the effect was felt
all along the line.
The commission gave much attention TO the
subject Of car service and competing and nom
competitive points, also to further testimony
respecting time in transit shipments. Many
more instances Of cars in transit for month
or more over a short haul offered.
The commission, at the close of the hearing
expressed itself startled at some of the re-
ports sent TO il, upon inquiry. from places bare
Of fuel, and stated that the inquiry had opened
up much new informatin and had so far shown
q situation more serious IN every respect than
the commissioners had expected to find when
they decided to begin the investigation.

CONFERS ABOUT CARS.
President Tells Senator Hansbrough
He WTiU TGAre Up Question.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-A conference at the
White House to-day indicated that the Presi-
dent IS taking great interest in proposals for a
legislative remedy for the car shortage which
has been causing fuel and food famine IN the
Northwest. The President sent for Senator
Hansbrough. and asked him whether the actual
danger Of suffering was so great as has been
reported. The North Dakota Senator said that
from dispatches he has received. conditions in
his state, Minnesota and South Dakota had not
been exaggerated. The President promised to
give the question his personal attention with
view 70 alleviatIng any immediate suffering and
said he desired Senator Hansbrougn TO devote
time and thought to some remedy to avoid a re-
currence OF present conditions
The plan Senator Hansbruugh has IN mind IS
the passage OF law which would compel the
railroads TO anticipate extraordinary movements
Of fuel, grain or other commodities and to pre-
pare 70 take care Of such shipments when they
are offered. II has been suggested that the
interstate Commerce Commission could investi-
gate probable excessive offerings for shipment
Of commodities Of all kinds and compel the rail-
roads 10 furnish the transportation. 1t is be-
lieved by Senator Hansbrough that II a law Of
this character were passed the railroads would
