MAKING RELIEF RATES.
Western Railroads Came to the Aid
of Kansas When the Crops
Failed.

One Of the great Grain.producing
states of the union is Kansas. Under
normal conditions it sends enormous
quantities OF grain to other states.
About four years ago. writes Samuel
Spencer. in Railway Rates and In.
dustrial Progress" in the Century,
the weather completely reversed this
situation, causing a failure of the corn
crop; Kansas had to buy corr for it's
own consumption from Iowa. Illinois
and other favored regions, in order
that its cattle might be fed and put
upon h market. Low
rates wer" promptly established, and
the remarkable spectacle was pre-.
Sentcd of cOrn moving west.bound il
large quantities To Kansas. On an.
other occasion, when the weather
went 10 the other extreme, with the
result that the corn crop was unusual.
~ large n the price unusual.
~ low, Nebraska farmers had to
accept a price below the cost
OF production. TO afford relief to
thos" farmers, the Nebraska railroads
ana their eastern connections made a
temporary reduction in rates that
gave the farmers 80 per cent. more
for their corn.

STOMACH ON THE BRAIN.
What If Man Gain the Whole World
and Lose His Appetite?

The man with weu-behaved stomach
never thinks about it. He eats what he
likes and likes what he eats. He knows
he'll enjoy it. because he knows he has
a stomach that VIII easily digest it. All
things look good to him; he will sit close
to the table, and with a merry twinkle
in his eye and a world-peace expression,
ne VIII start on the delicious meal be-
fore him
But the man with the bad. brashy,
gurgly stomach is the man who is always
thinking about it. He can seldom eat
what he most likes, and seldom likes
what he eats. His stomach worries him
before meals, after meals and between
meals. 1t is on his brain. It robs him OF
his cheer and interferes with his daily
work Around him is a dark spirit which
presses itself forward In his thoughts,
crying: Il am agony, 1 am disgust, I
am nausea. am sickness IanguOr. wOr

health is impossible without a good
