The bankers who have been most di-

Naturally, the holders of the old Sc

values for the new stocks and bonds.
1t is the purpose of the readjustment
managers, however, to make public is
sues of the Az per cent and 4 per cent
bonds of the new company on the New

a short time after the plan is declared
operative. When that is done. of course
the daily quotations will indicate clear

is possible to arrive at approximately
correct values on the basis of the pres
ent market prices of the old securities
and the position and earning power OF
the new ones.

Allowing Fat to Accumulate.
How to Prevent the
Terrible End"

AS rule the victim of fat grows fat
ter. There is no stopping the growing
of fat save by death. This is true, and
sad because it is true. There are hum
dreds of fat people who positively do
not believe it. And they die refusing
to believe it. At first there is f1abby
fat and then it grows solid. This solid
fat accumulates especially around the
heart; and although the heart beats.
1t beats with difficulty, until finally it

RATES WILL ADVANCE.
Eastern Lines, However, Have Not
Agreed on Details


No further action has. according to
excellent information received yester-
day, been taken by the railroad lines
east of Chicago regarding advances in
freight rates. At last weeks meeting
the general desirability of an advance
was agreed to and details were left to
the traffic officials of the individual
roads. 1t is understood that no addi-
tional concerted action will be taken,
as it might be construed a violation Of
the Sherman law. There is, however
reason to believe that there will, indi-
vidually, be an interchange of rate
schedules before any are filed, and that
when they are finally filed they will be
uniform.
1t is understood that the advances
will average about 10 per cent. The
advances as a general thing will apply
to class rates and not to commodity
rates.
In the language of the president of a
prominent railroad, quoted by Dow
Jones: ''This advance in rates will
help the railroad somewhat; and the
public at large will scarcely feel it.
Your hat may cost you one cent more
after the advance goes into effect. 1t
will affect the cost Of your shoes to the
extent of two cents and Of your shirt
| two to three-tenths Of a cent, and so
on. The railroads have repeatedly, for
years past made concessions to the
public at large and to the great army
| of employees. The time has come when
somebody must make concessions to
the railroads if it is required that this
country will continue to do business"

There are two old-fashioned methods
of treating chronic dyspepsia. catarrh
of the stomach or chronic gastritis.
First. that which prescribes pepsin,
dilute hydrochloric acid and other fer
ments to help the digestive Juices.
Second, that which seeks to stimulate
the glands to greater activity.
Both have the defect that too often
when the treatment stops the benefit
stops and the trouble returns in an ag-
gravated form. The truth Of this state
ment il all too evident to many who
have tried either treatment.

The modern method IL to tone mp the
stomach and glands to do their normal
work
Every step toward recovery is a step
gained not to be lost again. The recov-
cry Of the appetite, the disappearance
of pain, the absence Of gas-all are
steps on the road to health that those
who have tried the tonic treatment re-
member distinctly.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a tonic,
every constituent of which is helpful in
building up the digestive organs and
therefore are the ideal remedy for chro-
mic cases Of stomach trouble. The sue
cess Of the treatment is shown by hun
dreds OF cures like the following:

well-known both at Stronghurst, ILL.,,
where he formerly resided and at La

mending to others the pills that cured
him. He says:

me for about two years, began with a

Central. In view of the decline of about
three points in these bonds since the
terms of the merger plan were an
nounced originally, some interests are
disposed to believe that the advantage
offered to the holders of these bonds
and to those of other issues of the old
companies, under the terms of the plan,
are not appreciated fully. Every holder
of $1,000 of the consolidated is offer
ed the following values in the securi :
ties of the new company; $500 in IA
per cent prior lien bonds; 1915 in per
cent bonds, guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the Mexican govern
ment, and S75 in second preferred stock
Further data regarding the position
of these two classes of bonds of the
new company will enable one to morc
easily arrive at their real value. The
AZ per cent prior liens will rank ahead
of the per cent bonds, which carry
the guarantee of the Mexican govern
ment both as to principal and interest.
Inasmuch as s60,000.000 of the latter
security will be issued presently, obvi-
ously the Az per cent bonds will have
to all intents and purposes, the govern
ment guarantee from the outset.
The issue of the new 41as per mile
of road will be approximately equal to
the amount per mile of prior lien bonds
now outstanding against the National
Railroad company of Mexico, which are
selling in the market above their par
value. Il can, therefore, be assumed
reasonably that the new bonds, which
have, from the standpoint of earnings,
about the same margin as the bonds
of the old company, and which have
the additional protection of the govern
ment guarantee on the As ranking be-
hind them, ultimately should command
a price equally as high as that OF the
bonds of the National Railroad COM
pany of Mexico. 1t also would seem
therefore, that the present market quo
tation of from 95 to SO for the new
bonds conservatively represents their
real value.
1t is believed by those familiar with
the earning power of the constituent
companies that the 4 per cent guaran-
teed bonds of the new corporation
should command approximately the
same price as the Mexican government
A per cent bonds, which are unsecured
and which are selling in the market at
about 49, but which on a conservative
basis may be taken for the purposes OF
this demonstration at value of from
IS to SO. With these data as basis. the
following results may be arrived al
with respect to the aggregate minimum
value of the new securities offered in
