The Most Common Cause Of Suffering

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other diseases. for
the reason that it is most common of
all ills, and 1t is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief,
and make rest and sleep possible. In
many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on by dampness or changes
in the weather, a permanent cure
cannot be expected; the relief from
pain which this IMMINENT affords is
alone worth many times It's cost. 25

TO RAISE FREIGHT RATES.
Opening Wedge on Fresh Meats
.ShiDDed to Southeast.

Washington. May At appears likely that the
anticipated increase in railroad freight rates is
about be made. A few days a member or
the Interstate Commerce Commission expressed
the opinion that within three four months, un-
less a decided improv in railway conditions
should take place. it would probably be necessary
for the carriers either increase freight rates
to reduce the wages of their employees.
Sooner than was expected action looking 10 an
increase in freight has been taken The rail-
WAYS of the Southeastern territory have filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission tarlffS, e1-
fectve on June l. increasing their freight rates on
fresh meats materially. The proposed rates will
affect all fresh meats shipped into the Southeast
ern territory from the North and West.
The increase will amount to from cents TO 10
cents a hundred pounds all fresh meats X is
the first material raise in the rates on foodstufs
made by the railroads of the country for good
many years. It will mean much to the consumers.
as II will roba bly, result in increase of approxi-
r7lately cent a pound low grades of meats
and perhaps as much cents a pound on the
select cuts
While the increase TO the consumer in the terri
tory affected by proposed rates is noticeable it
is likely that it is intended as feeler of public
sentiment. with a view 10 making general raise
in rates on all commodities 1t Is said by tariff
experts Of railroads that many of the commodity
rates Of American railways now in force are com
raratively low ana it believed by those who
have studied the situation that in view of the in
creased cost of railway equipment and of railway
emploves il may be necessary TO increase some of
the freight rates This is a matter. however,
which the Interstate Commerce Commission will
probably inquire into carefully to determine
whether the rates proposed are in any sense
cessve unreasonable.

pleting important report to be submitted to Sec
retary Straus OF the Department of Commerce and
Labor relative 10 the existence of the "hookworm
disease among children employed in the cotton
mills OF the South. In connection with child labor
statistics that are being prepared by the depart
ment, Secretary Straus desires to know how much
of the poor physical condition OF children in South
cotton mills is due TO work in the mills and
how much TO disease. He requested Surgeon Gen.
erai Wyman. of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service. to furnish expert. and DR..
Wyman detailed DR.. Stiles. who spent several
months in North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. His report to Secretary Straus will
show that large percentage of the i'll health Of
the young workers IN the Southern cotton mills is
due to the "hookworm disease which has long
existed without recognition from the medical pro-
fession in that section The report also will show
that the disease is contracted from infected soil.
