Railway commission Cuts Beet Sugar
Rate.

The state railroad rate commits
sion has clipped off about 20 pei
cent from the present rates charged
by the railroad companies for
carrying sugar beets. This was the
effect of the decision announced
Saturday.
Complaint was made charging
that the rates charged for this Ser
vice by the Omaha. st. Paul,
Northwestern, Illinois Central and
Wisconsin Central were discrimina-
tory and excessive and illegal, and
that the rules enforced in regard to
the minimum load required on
every car are unjust and illegal.
On these complaints it was held
by the commission that every con-
tention was justly made excepting
that of the Rock County Sugar
Company at GAINESVILLE against the
Illinois Central road. 1t was there
fore ordered that lower rates be
charged that the companies enter
into joint rate agreement.
The decision is a substantial
victory for railroad regulation IN
state of Wisconsin. and will ma
terially aid in fulfilling the promises
made to the people of relief from
excessive railroad rates. The opinion
is not only important in its hearing
upon q growing industry in Wis
consin but is also one of the most
exhaustive and elaborate opinions
which the board has rendered. 1t
will finally reduce railroad revenues
upwards of 500, 900 and that the
minimum carload be not more than
10000 pounds. Most Of the moving
traffic of beets is within % miles.
The old rate for 25 miles or less was
so cents. The old rate for hauls of
twenty.six to fifty miles was sixty
cents, which was reduced to fifty
cents.

The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver." and 1T is more blessed to
give than to receive" are faithful
sayings, and worthy of all accepta-
ton. Give where your gift is need
ed, where it brings JOY and gladness,
and your own heart will swell with
real pleasure. To lavish gift upon
the rich, the strong, the powerful
in hope that you may receive in
turn, is mean, groveling and pitiful.
Don't be little yourself that way.
Give freely only where love prompts,
or better yet, go out among Gods
poor, hunt out those less favored or
less fortunate and do acts that will
brighten human lives and the
brightness will come back into your
own heart by reflection. The great
and noble characters of the world,
the men in all ages who have been
admired and loved, have been the
generous men.

An eastern minister has figured it
out that If Adam had worked at S.
per day right down TO the present
time, and saved every dollar he
earned, he would have accumulated
only about $4,000, 900. Even had
he done so, however, the chances
are that some get-rich-quick pro-
moter would have coaxed it away
from him in these days of frenz:ed

Take Heed.
our town

TAKE heed what We hear" as to
slanderOus reports and insinuations.
There is a vast amount of defama-
ton in the world. Perhaps we have
all suffered more or less by it, hence
one would think we might be
prepared to estimate it at it's real
value. But Notwithstanding our
own experience in regard to its
evils, how prone we are to listen to
what evil tongues may say of our
neighbors! though jealous enough
for our own reputation we seem to
have little concern for that of
others. We should remember that
we have no more right to hear
what evil tongues may say, than
evil tongues have TO say what they
ought not. We could not give the
tongue of Islander a more pointed
and success sful rebuke than to re-
fuse to listen to it. Is we are watch
full OF our ears, they would be CON
strained to bride their tongues. If
all men were deaf and blind there
would be no SANDER, because there
would be none. to hear or read it,
and the unruly member would of
necessity be kept III order. But
now there are hearers and readers,
and hence the tongue and pen must
be guarded. Idle words are often
the cause of inestimable mischief.
A good name is rather to be chosen
than riches But the tongue of
SANDER may rob us of our good
name and leave US poor indeed.
What havoc mas been made of the
peace and happiness of individuals,
of families, of nelghborhoods by an
evil tongue! What were but trifles
are swelling into Importance by
repetition, and thus difficulties
which single word might have
explained and healed increase in
magnitude and at last become incur
able. The tongue will be evil
while the heart is wrong, for out of
the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh. The best remedy
for an evi, tongue is new heart,
but as even the best of US are
sanctfied in part, we must adopt
such a remedy as will meet the
evil from whatever source it may
come, and this is the remedy: Take
heed what ye hear. We must re-
fuse to listen to what the evil
tongue says. Listening to SANDER
is so nearly related to SANDER itself
that, if we give place to the one,
we are likely to be infected with the
other. The listener is partaker
with the speaker; therefore, at all
times now and ever, take heed what
We hear-dor't hear everything, and
don't repeat everything you hear.

Old Santa Ready for Little Folks.

Old Santa Claus mail bag aC the
Herald Office is already assuming
proportions. The patron Saint of
the little people, however. insists
that his little correspondents must
use two cent stamps on their letters
as delays often occur where forced
to pay the extra one cent postage.
OF course no one wants their letter
to Santa Claus delayed SO they will
all remember and use the bright red
two cent stamps in the future.
Santa also asks that the little peo-
pie write on only one side of the pa
per. They must be sure to tell him
what good boy or girl they have
been during the past year and just
what they want for their own pres
ent. These letters must all be In
! the Herald mans hands by Deem
Der II, so they can reach him in
time to be read and his pack made
up accordingly. Santa loves his
dear little friends, the children, and
wants them TO be happy. He has
a long journey to take on Christmas
Eve and wants to visit everyone
and give everyone OF his little
friends just what they want.

A PUGET SOUND NAME.
PuyaIIup and the Experience of the

PuyaIIup and the Experience of the
Man Responsible For 1t.
The name ruyallup is of Indian ORR
gin, as old as the memory of the white
man. In Pioneer "Reminiscences CT
Puget Sound the author, Mr.. Meeker,
says that he accepts the olium of in
flicting that name OH suffering genera
tons by plating Il few blocks of land
into village lots and recording them
under the name Puyallup. He men
tons incidentally that he has suffered
from it.
The first time went east after the
town was named and said to friend
in New York that our town was NAM
ell Puyallup he seemed startled.
Named what"
"Payaliup," said 1.
That's Il jawbrcaker," came the re
sponse How do you spell it?"
"P-u-y-a-[l-u-p," l said.
"Let me see how did you say you

Siwash and emphasizing every letter

Peuw for Puy and the strong empha-
sis on the al and cracking my lips to-
gether to cut off the lup, finally drill
ed my friend so that he could pro-
nounce the word, yet fell short of the
elegance Of the scientific pronuncia-
ton.
Then when 1 crossed the Atlantic
and encountered the factors of the hop
trade In London and was hidden as
guest to dinner to introduce me to
the assembled hop merchants, when
saw a troubled look overshadow the

him, and my sympathy went out to
him.

But when letters began to come to

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength Is derived from food II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food he dies Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan OF the body. IL the stomach Is "weak"
the body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
whole, is made up of its several men,
berS and organs. so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it Is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organS-heart, liver kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousneSS, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action Of
heart. palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses
