TEXAS LINES GO TO COURT.
Gould and Santa Fe Interests seek to
Enjoin Rate Orders

Austin, Tex. July 1.-THE Gulf. Co1ora-
do and Santa Fe Railway company and
the international and Great North
ern Railroad company have filed suits in
the United States circuit court attacking
the entire body of rates established by
the railroad commission of Texas since
February Is. 1893. which was the date on
which the compromise Of the suits insti-
tuted by the railroad commission in the
latter part Of 1898 became effective. Each
company complains that the reductions
made by the railroad commission since
February Is, 1899, have resulted in the di-
minution to the extent of several hundred
thousand dollars of its revenues and that
the rates now existing as a whole are far
from compensatory
Each bill concludes with a prayer for
injunction restraining the railroad COM
mission and the members thereof, and the
attorney general from enforcing existing
tariffs circulars. schedules. rules, or
ders and classifcations established by
the railroad commission since February
%. 1899, and from suing for penalties by
reason of the failure of the complaining
company to obey such tariffs. circulars
etc, and restraining the commission and
the members thereof from hereafter
establishing any tariffs. circulars. etc.
reducing the rates below those established
by the compromise of February %, 1899.

Il feel better than I have for over
four years. I have taken several bot
ties of Peruna and one bottle of Ma

a most wonderful medicine.

I had taken all kinds Of medicine, but
none did me any good.

DOCTORS SHIFT
Now Gets Along Without It.

A physician says: Until last fall I
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very. soon found

got all the nourishment necessary from
the Grape-Nuts and since then I have
not had any indigestion and am feel
ing better and have increased in
weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all of my patients suffering
from Indigestion or overlooking and
also for those recovering from disease
where I want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results I look for
when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For

The reason for the wonderful
amount Of nutriment and the easy di-
gestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place. the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into Dextrose
or Post Sugar, in which state 1t is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood The parts in the wheat and
barley which Nature can make use of
for rebuilding brain and nerve centers
are retained in this remarkable food.
and thus the human body is supplied
with the powerful strength producers

FOR SCRUTINY or ACCOUNTS.
Preparations Being Made by Com
merce Commission.

IlEEGC COMMISSION
Washington, July 11.@Henry c.
Adams, chief statistician Of the inter-
state commerce commission. has been
summoned from the University of
Michigan to meet with the commits
sion on Thursday to consider plans for
inaugurating as soon as possible the
system of supervision of railroads ac-
counts, authorized by the new rate
law It is beginning to be realized that
this feature of the law will give the
commission large powers to prevent
overea pitalizauon and stock watering.
The commission intends to formulate
rules so that the accounting provision
may be put into full effect the country
over by January 1, and produce uni
formity in accounting and reporting
methods, beginning with 1907.
Already the commission is nearly
buried by demands on its time. 1t has
the coal and oil Investigations on and
the grain inquiry will be taken up as
soon as possible To arrange the ac-
counting system viii be a huge task,
cooperation of the railroads will be
asked and a convention of railroad ac-
countants probably will be held within
a few months, under arrangements by
the committee.
It is expected the next session will
support La Follette's demand for ap-
praisal of the railroad property. This
would require a subordinate commits
sion under the general direction of the
interstate commerce commission.

If present plans of the Atchison, To-

A branch of the Santa Fe reaches
within 40 miles of Globe. and has been
seeking the only entrance to Globe

known sas the Box canyon; but the

cities are princely IN comparison with
those in the rural schools. In view OF
demands made upon them teachers are
therefore miserably underpaid. It seems
incredible that the pay should be so in

Mr.. Kendall predict that unless
