WRESTLING WITH
TEACHERS RATE
TRUNK LINE COMMITTEE is
UNDECIDED
New Rate Law Has Bearing on Los
Angeles Educational Meeting
in JuIy-eeneral Rail-
road Events

The trunk line committee of the east
ern railroads is wrestling with the prob
lem of handling the meeting of the Ma
tional Educational association, which
will meet i'm Los Angeles in July. The
new rate law has changed things ma
terially and the passenger men are at
sea as to what arrangements they can
make and still be within the pale of the
law. 1t is probable that the matter Will
be referred to the Interstate commerce
commission for ruling.
Heretofore it has been the custom Of
the railroads to make n rate of one fare
plus 81 and turn the plus money over to
the association. The 81 was designated
as dues paid by members of the asso-
citation. In this way the association is
said to have accumulated more than
100000 and it acknowledges having
about $4,000 in it's treasury. The rail e.
roads are not inclined to be a collection
agency for the association any longer,
and besides they claim they legally COL
lect the money under the new law.
In the beginning the association asked
for a rate of one fare plus 50 for the
round trip. This was declined by the
railroads as the rate could not he con-
fined to the members of the association,
but would necessarily be open to the
public. Then a rate of a fare and a
third plus 81 on the certificate plan was
asked, and there the matter rests.

.FAvORS BETTER
MILK INSPECTION
NEW BOARD OF HEALTH GIVES
INSTRUCTIONS
Los Angeles Small Force Takes Sam.
piles from Wagons and Watches
Sources of SuppIy-Help
Needed

Better inspection of milk was advo-
Gated yesterday by members of the
board of health at their weekly meet
ing.
Health Officer L. NJ. Powers explained
the system in vogue here of inspectors
stopping milk wagon drivers and taking
samples from their cans. These sam
pies are at once carried to the office of
the city chemist and a report is made
to the board of health.
DR.. Dickson said much of the sickness
among children was due to the impure
milk and preserved milk.
Dr. Seymour said that in New York
milkmen are stopped at the bridges and
ferries and as they enter the city with
their loads.
Health Officer Powers stated that
twenty-six inspectors do the work there
and sixty are needed. Only since last
July is milk inspected outside of the
city of New York at the places where
the milk is produced as is done by Los
Angeles. Here both wagon and farm
and milk inspection is practiced.
Board of health members are anxious
to have a rigid milk inspection, and
instructed DR.. Powers to keep his force
constantly busy at that work, and also
expressing the hope that the city coun-
ell will grant the increased force which
the board recently applied for because
of the annexation of the shoestring
strip and because of the natural growth
of the city.
Permits were granted in forty-three
cases to persons who wish to keep
more than one COW on their premises
"These are family affairs" remarked
the mayor.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DIR. Pierces world
famed medicines leaving the great abo-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering Into It's composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines In q class all By themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
70 place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, Of proper
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
ative of the medicinal principles resid,
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses Yaluab ble medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutrtve, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as viii be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe 10 use and
potent TO cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the com
position OF Or. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No Other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation Is the cause OF
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One pellet" is a gentle
laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing is "iust as
good" Easy TO take as candy.

ROADS EXPECT A DIVoRcEMENT
Union and Southern Pacific Directors
Look FOR Blow
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Times to-
day says it was learned in banking
quarters that the controlling interest in
the Union Pacific is prepared for a
hard blow by the interstate commerce
commission, after the completion of its
hearings in this city, that proceedings
be taken to divorce the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific properties,
1t was also learned that the results
of such an outcome have been thor
oughly canvassed by those in charge
of Union Pacific affairs and arrange
ments, made to meet this contingency
Any legal proceedings brought by the
government to compel the Union Pa
. cific to sell the S90,0O0,000 of Southern
Pacific stock held by it will be con-
tested up to the supreme court and no
expense will be spared.
While the case differs from that of
the Northern Securities company and
other similar cases in that the Union
Pacific does not hold a majority of
$240, 100000 of Southern Pacific common
and preferred stock, and may not end
in an adverse decision, yet Union Pa
cific directors are prepared for that.
If such a decision be rendered the
Southern Pacific stock will be sold, but
it's disposition will in no wise effect the
harmonious relations between the two
properties, and Mr.. Hartman will con-
troll both as j. j. Hill controls the
great Northern and Northern Pacific.
