amount OF the precious metal booked for Paris 10
$4,000 since the movement began. last week The
news that Paris had also obtained $4,000 gold in
the open market In London and from the Bank of
England caused some uneasiness here. as It was
feared that the situation in the Parts market
might develop some serious event.

NEW FREIGHT RATES WORK WELL
Shippers Get Better Service and Quicker
Deliveries.

Well Informed interests said yesterday that the
advances in freight rates just put into effect on
the Eastern trunk lines. had met with much less
opposition from shippers than had been expected.
The raising of minimumS by 4G0 to l200
pounds IS regarded one OF the most important
features in the schedules. and is looked upon
as "A great aid in solving the problem Of short
age.
Tho mnimums regulated to give
railroads some advantage, owing to the great size
of modern freight There has been change
in the minimum load Of a large number of articles
Of freight for many years. with the result that until
recently the minimum amount which a shipper WAS
permitted to put in and ship at the carload
rate had frequently been under half the full Capa
city. The increases. however, do not yet apply to
all classes OF material
For instance. the minimum for the lighter iron
and steol manufactures was advanced from $4,000
to 36 600 pounds but the old minimum retained
for bulky articles OF comparatively light weight.
The minimum load of agricultural implements for
cars 81 feet inches or less in length raised
from 10000 240o0 pounds, and for longer the
minimum is greater rising 10 6O.000 pounds for cars
90 feet inches long. The minimum load -four
was raised from 35 900 to 10000 pounds the
naming the same
It is said that result of the new rates ship
pers hone by more efficient loading TO get along
with fewer than heretofore. and that the rail-
roads. in turn expect to handle promptly great
deal Of freight which under the old system had TO
lie the loading platforms an indefinite length of
time because of the scarcity OF cars, due TO the
fact that shippers content to load them at
much Iess than their capacity.

The Pain
Family

YOU know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache. Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu-
ralgia, etc. They are sentinels
that warn you of any derange-
ment of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af-
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen the nerves. DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this.
The whole Pain family yield to
their influence. Harmless if
taken as directed.
IT find DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills an
excellent remedy for overcoming head
ache. neuralgia and distressing pains
of all sorts. have used them for tho
past seven years in this capacity with
the best of results
