Something Refreshing

in the form of a beverage is desired by
everyone, especially in summer, but be
careful what that something is. Before
you take it into your system know that
it is pure and wholesome, that it is free
from disease germs or chemical adulter-
ations injurious to health. Therefore
when you drink, drink OTTUMWA
BEER, which has stood every known
test for absolute purity and healthful-
ness.

Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due to
the disease being so insidious that it
gets good hold on the system before
it is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure

exceptions no Virginia railroad has
watered its stock, and few of them
have paid much IN the way of dividends
TO their stockholders For many years
most of them paid nothing. The Chesn-
peake and Ohio now pays only one
per cent, per annum. the Norfolk and
Western pays five per cent; the South
ern pays five OH It's preferred stock,
but nothing on it's common. the Sea-
board has .o.urned but little In the
way OF dividends to It's stockholders
Some of the smaller roads barely pay
operating expenses.
In view of these facts 1t cannot
fairly be said that all the Southern
roads have been ''robbing the Southern
people for quite little while"
Let us look to the equity Of the
case. High and low prices are relative
terms. a citizen of Richmond recently
rode from this city to n small station
in North Carolina, n distance of eighty
miles, for $3.50. He then engaged a
man to drive him ten miles in buggy
and paid for that service s2.a5. 1T
cost him nearly as much to travel ten
miles in buggy as 1t cost him to
travel eighty miles In railway car.
Comparatively speaking. therefore, the
railroad fare was very low. What may
be n high rate N one case may also
be a low rate in another. 1T depends
on the situation. But in every case
the person served should pay n reason
able price for the service rendered.
| and that principle should form the
| rs OF all railrs | ratN.
AS we have previously said, it is
| probable that some rates are too high;
| in other eases the rates are too low.
| There must be readiustment \
| study of railroad returns will convince
| any fair-minded mar that II the cost
of operation continues to increase
there must be corresponding increase
in earnings. or some of the roads will
soon be bankrupt. That is the long
| and short Of the matter.

For ,he Librarv's Welfare.

AS soon as all the evidence against
Librarian j. 7. Kennedy was pub
lshed. The Times-Dispatch declared
that his usefulness was gone, and that
the best service he could then render
the library would be to resign.
Mr.. Kennedy seemed to take the
same view, for about that time his
resignation was handed to the Library
Board Instead of accepting 1t and
casting about to find a successor as
soon as possible, the board took the
question under consideration, and std

ton to punish Mr.. Kennedy, but We
have lively interest in the welfare
of the library and we are unwilling
that it's interests shall suffer, as they
are suffering, by this delay of action
on the part Of the board.
Nor can we see any sufficient reason
for the delay. 1t will not do to retain
