Operating officials of railways from
all parts OF the country were il at
tendance upon the hearing given by
the interstate commerce commission
at Washington Thursday applications
for an extension Of the time Of the
going into effect OF the nine-hour law.
Thirty-seven applications were re-
ceived asking for the extension. Two
OF them already have been denied.
those OF the Georgia Southern and Flor
Ida railway and the st. Joseph and
Grand Island railway, because in the
opinion of the commission, the peti-
lions did not show what, in the terms
OF the act, would constitute good
cause for granting the relief request
ed. The applications Of the other IS
lines are being heard as one case.
All of them assert that they have
found it impossible to procure the serv-
Ices OF competent operators in such
numbers as will enable them to comply
with the provisions OF the law; and
that even II they could, the enforced
employment of SO many additional men
would be a financial hardship. Nearly
all OF the petitions also indicate that.
in the circumstances, il the law ID en-
forced, the companies will be Obliged
to close many small stations on their
lines.

The accepted manner of defining

Fine Recipe For Colds.


Nix two ounces of glycerine with
half pint OF good whiskey and add
one-half ounce Concentrated oil of
pine. This latter comes in one-half
ounce walls packed in tin screw top
air tight cases. which are intended to
protect It from light and retain ali
the original ozone.
This simple mixture Is to be used
In doses Of teaspoonful to table
spoonful four times day. The bot
tie should be well shaken each time.
Don't use bulk oil of pine or imi-
tations of Concentrated, which are
often found with similar name and
style Of package. They are insoluble
and work havoc to the kidneys. Any
druggist has the Concentrated oil of
pine.
