Are You Tired, Nervous
and SIeepless?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood;
they are starred nerves. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, ard thereby tho nerves are
properly nourishcd and all the organs OF
the body are run as smoothly as muchin-
cry which runs In oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strcnuOus-yOu are
toned up and invigoratcd, and you are
good for n whole lot Of physical or mental
work. Best Of all, the strength and In

The trouble with most tOnics and med
ciuos which have q large, booming sale

that this location Of retinerics and
the natural advantages following II
were obtained by means of unfair
competitive methods, but beyond this
mere assertion does not go into n his.
tory or explanation Of these alleged
unfair methods at all He says the
development Of the pipe line system
by the Standard Oil company was tho
result Of special agreement with the
railroad companies As a matter Of
fact. the development OF tho pipe
line system by the Standard Oil com
pany was in the face of violent hos,
tility on the part OF the railroads.
Conditions in New England.
Passing from this point, Commits.
sioncr Garfield takes up the question
of fayortism which he alleges has
been shown by various railroad cor.
porations, to the Standard Oil com
pany. The first specific case Of al
legged discrimination to which he di.
reefs attention Is in the New England
territory II Is charged that we en-.
Joy monopoly in certain parts Of that
section because some of tn" railroads
there refuse to prorate. Casual in.
auiry would show that the New Eng.
land roads are simply doing what they
are forced to do by natural conditions.
Obviously, we have an advantage by
the use Of our pipe lines from the
western oil fields to the coast and the
use of water transportation thence to
New England over anyone who uses
all rail transportation from western
points.
Some Of our competitors do the
same thing and deliver oil at the
points in New England that we do by
the same process.
Question of RehRt-j.
1.-THE commissioner says that with
one or two exceptions the investiga-
lions of the bureau have as yet dis.
covered no rebates in the technical
sense on interstate business
He says the Standard oil company
has habitually received from the rail.
roads. and Is now receiving, secret
rates and other unjust and Illegal dis.
ordinations. II is hardly fair or
manly for him to add the sentence, or
course there may be other secret rates
which the bureau has not discovered.
Does Not Crush Competition.
THE statement that the Standard
OH company has largely by unfair
and unlawful methods crushed out
home competition is fully answered
by the fact that home competition has
always existed is steadily growing,
and that there are now at least 125
competitive rcnneries in the United
States.
"The Standard Oil company has been
Investigated over and over again at
the nstlgatlon of Its rivals. and 1t
always Welcomes such investigation
whom conducted in good faith and
fairly. We are engaged In n large and
honorable business. We are conduct.
Ing It honorably and we sincerely be-
lieve In conformity to law"

away with This immediate cOrrec-
ton, partial or complete, Of the evil
OF the secret rates is, OF course, on the
one hand an acknowledgment that
they were wrong and yet were per
severed in until exposed and, on the
other hand, proof of the efficiency Of
the work mat has been done by the
bureau of corporations.
But In addition to these secret
rates the Standard oil profits i'm
mensely by open rates, which are 80
arranged az to give II an overwhelm-
ing advantage over its independent
competitors"
Controls the Market.
II Is not possible, he says, to put
into figures the exact amount by
which the Standard profits through
the gross layoritism shown It by the
railroads In connection with the open
rates. The profit, of course, comes
not merely by the saving in the rate
itself as compared with its compet-
itors but by the higher prices it 81
able to charge and by the complete
control Of tho market which It Sc
cures, thereby getting the profit on the
whole consumption"
There Are Others.
II is unfortunately not true, he says
that the Standard OIL company Is the
only corporation which has benefited
and Is benefiting in wholly improper
fashion by an elaborate series of rate
determinations The sugar trust, he
adds. according to the results OF the
Investigation now in progress. rarely
II ever pays the lawful rate for trans.
portation. He declares that In the ef-
fort to prevent the railroads from
uniting for improper purposes I'VE
have very unwlsely prohibited them
from uniting for proper purposes; that
Is, for purposes OF protecting them
selves and the general public as
against the power of the great cor.
porations."
Correctionary Measures.
He favors as an element OF compe-
aition the passage of some such law

TRANSPORTATION GREAT
FACTOR IN COMPETITION.

In summarizing his report Commits
i"uor Garfield speaks Of his personal
visit to the oil fields and OF the great
mass OF data obtained by him either
personally or through agents Of the
bureau of corporations The prrlimi-
nary study OF this material. he says,
showed that the most important, sub
jet was transportation, which enters
SO largely into the cost OF furnished
product and hence a most important
factor in competition.
The Standard claims tha, the To-
cation Of its rennerics and the use
of pipe lines are natural advantages
70 which It Is justly entitled by reason
of the energy and foresight of It's man
ager3. While In a measure that Is
true, II may not be forgotten that
these advantages were In part obtained
by means of unfair competitive meth
DDS after years OF industrial strife
"The development of the pipe line
system by the Standard on company
was the result of special agreements
with railroad companiea Further
more, those so-Called natural adyan-
tages have been and are being greatly
increased by determinations in freight
rates, both published and secret, inter-
state and state, which give The Stand
ard mOnopolistic control in the great
CT portion Of the country.
Oil Price Is Gauge.
An immediate result of this delim-
itation of the competitive area Is
shown by the prices OF ordinary H.
Eliminating oil. After doductng the
freight rate the price of such oil is
usually from two cents TO five cents a
gallon higher In the non-competitivc
than in the competitive fields. A rea-
sonable profit upon refined oil Is
about one-half cent per gallon. 1t is
clear that eSorbitant profits are OBJ
tanned in the non-competitive fields"
In 1904 these secret rates saved the
Standard oil company three-Quarters
OF Il million dollars, representing the
difference between the open rates and
the rates actually paid. These dis
long continued, and so secret, 80 in
geniously applied to new conditions
OF trade, and so large in amount rs to
make II certain that they were due to
concerted action by the Standard and
the railroads" He says further that
unjust determinations In the matter
of open rates. the published rates from
the leading Standard shipping points
being relatively much lower than rates
from the shipping points of Its com
petitOrs.
Roads Abolish Secret Tariffs.
Mr. Garfield then refers to seven
instances Of important determinations
in favor Of the Standard OIL COM
pany in various parts OF the country,
and says that most of the secret rates
and some of the open determinations
discovered by the bureau were abol-
ished by the railroads shortly after
such discovery. After calling atten-
ton to the good which already has re-
suited from the investigation, Mr.. Gar
field says that tho changes effected
have put the independents upon fair
er footing and make competition pos
sible in territories heretofore inacces-
sible. The report concludes as fol-
lows:
Tariffs may be made and rates may
be combined In such a manner as to
make It practically impossible for the
ordinary shipper 10 find them"

An unusually interesting instance OF

on her deathbed not only announced

spot where his body lay. the fact of her
fathers death not being known to any
body az the time. The man In ques.
ton was Isaac Marsden. 80 years old.
who lived In Stevenson street. Accrlng-
ton. His daughter. - years old. had
been wasting away with consumption
for months.
About a week ago Mr.. Marsden dis
appeared from home under mysterious
circumstancs-that Ia. no reason was
known for his going away and nothing
could be learned OF h,s whereabouts.

had seen her fathers form.
