CONTROL OVER
THE RAILWAYS
Commissioner Prouty Makes
Address Before the National
Manufacturers Association.
WRECK OF THE ALTON ROAD
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE CANNOT
BE CORRECTED.

New YORK, MAY a2.-Charlcs Prouty,
member of the Interstate commerce
commission, addressing the National
Manufacturers association today, said
the government should exercise some
direct control over the capital accounts
of the railroads and that it is prob
able interstate railways should be
valued by the government. Mr.. Prouty
said:
Government regulation is itself on
trial. Regulation must be sufficiently
strong to choke the cry for national
operation. I am not asking that addi-
tional powers be conferred upon the
interstate commerce commission. We
must create department of railways,
which should be charged with that part
of regulation which is properly admin
istrative and executive.
THE railway company should not be
deprived of its property by reduction
of its rates until it shall be given fair
hearing before some disinterested tri-
bunal, but the duty o. beginning a
complaint rests upon the government
and should not be cast by private in
dividuals.
1T is probable the interstate rail-
ways should be valued by the national
governments

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-WouId
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to ifritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. I had heard of so many
cures by the Cutfcura Remedies that
T thought I would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were we'll and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,

do you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but l finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then I have drank coffee and
both times I passed sleepless night,
and so am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
my brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and I
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried cup of Postum
and liked it so we'll he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking

sand American young men, sailors and
marines aboard the feet, are here
every year. The east does it's worst
by them; for the orient, especially
when in league with the most vicious
element in American life, is especially
skillfnl in enmeshing western youth.
The plight of these young men with
shore leave, and no decent door open
to them, was pitiable.
Hard Knocks for the Y. N. C. A.
Some of the resident Americans, in.
cluding Consul General Fowler, un-
dertook to open clean, harmless re-
sort for the men. One Of the Presby-
terian missionaries, Rev. G. Cornwell,
devoted himself tirelessly to the pro-
ject, spending the greater part of
every night down town in the rooms
and scarcely seeing his family for a
week at time. The result was that
for several years a Christian club
room and lodging house were main
tanned successfully and made SELF

may call it. It is the unanimous opin-

which is not without significance,
since many of the most disreputable

heard other missionaries criticise him
for giving more time, during a portion
of the year, to the sailors than he does
to the heathen. For my part, am in

itual welfare of an American young
man quite as important as that Of q
Chinese. AS to the reported short

White SchooIboys in yellow City.
Another indirect but grave and ever
present missionary problem, to which
even missionary workers give little
thought, is that of the children of the
men and women on the field. The fa-

Chefoo makes the topic pertinent here

Second thought, though, reminds
one that this white boy, who, like
most missionary children, speaks the
tongue of the native more freely than
he does that of his parents, is hearing
from his playmate many things which
1t is not considered healthful for an
Anglo-Saxon to know. Alongside OF
