is BLAMED.

Chicago, June 13.-Members of the
railroad commissions of Ohio. Indiana.
Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois met
here and decided to form permanent
organization and discussed measures
for abrOgating four evils in railroad
conditions in the states named. The
dishonesty of railroad conductors,
trespassing on railroad rights of way,
accidents at grade crossings and CON
fusing varieties of switch signals
were among the topics considered
Committees were appointed to make
special studies of each of these sub
jects.
The discussion on the pOcketing of
fares by conductors brought out the
opinion that this evil has largely in
creased since the passage of the 2-cent
fare laws. It was declared that be-
cause these laws forbid the collection
of a greater amount than . cents a
mile. thus doing away with conduct
Or's rates" many passengers do not
buy tickets before boarding trains.
The commissioners were of the Opin-
ion that the only correction for the
evil is the passage Of laws allowing
the collecting of greater fares than >
cents a mile from passengers who fail
to buy tickets.

cd with enthusiasm. He said he was
pleased to be received by the club and

hearts of the republicans Of Indiana

system generaliy we must vigorously
exercise the muscles.
1t is not enough that one should stuff
himself; it is all important that ne
should desire every mOrsel he eats,
and this he will do only If he under
goes general physical and mental ex-
ercise. Food that is ingested. and even
digested, will be absorbed only by
those organs that need it-that have
been exercised. This fact explains
why many persons that are good feed
ers" are yet inadeQuately nOurished
If they are brain workers and take no
physical exercise their brains absorb
what nourishment they need; the rest
is excreted.
Magnificent as are the results of
brain work we must bear in mind that
there could be no result without the
cooperation of the body, and that the
body in its turn depends primarily on
the integrity of its heart, lungs and
stomach.-G. Elliot Flint in New York

SOME DETROIT STARS.

Cobb, Crawford and Mcintyre Form
Best Outgarden In American League.
In Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford and Nc
Intyre the Detroit Tigers have an cut
field that is justly entitled to its repu-
4atiOn of being the best trio of outer
gardeners in the American league.
The beauty of the Detroit outfield is
that it is we'll balanced. There are
mighty few weak spots. In batting,
fielding. throwing and base running it
Is an all star aggregation. Mcintyre
as a batter is not whirlwind, but he
gets on bases often.
Cobb and Crawford are two of the
heaviest hitters In the league. They
drive I'm many a run with their well
directed and timely swats. Mcintyre
knows how to wait successfully, and he
is a fast enough runner to coax many
an error out of hurried fielder.
When this trio gets on bases there
Is always something doing. They are
continually pulling off the unexpected
play. They steal bases with the best
of them and are alert to take advan-
tage of every slip by their opponents.
And in the infield there are other
stars that shine. Take Claude Ross
man, the first baseman, as an example
Rossman's batting has been like his
1ielding-Of the highest order.
