Dysart's firm of cattle exporters We're
in Traer and vicinity the past week,
securing the country for 800 head OF
good export beeves to fill out their
third shipment, which they will send
direct to Liverpool, Eng. This is the
third and largest shipment sent by the
firm. Two previous shipments have
been made of $50 head each, which
were put on board at Portland, Me.
The last shipment will go by a different
but more direct route, being loaded at
New York.
A large number of cattle belonging
to the Chester l.. Guernsey estate were
purchased here by the firm the past
week. Most of the cattle are bought
of local feeders, but when necessary
they will fill out their shipping space
with stock bought both on the Chi
cago and Omaha markets. This is a
new and ventureSome undertaking,
but thus far it has succeeded we'll.
They have never lost head and rea-
lie about $40 per head more after all
expenses are paid than they would in
Chicago. The English market is much
more stable and reliable than the
American market, and does not tluctu-
ate nearly SO rapidly. 1t takes about
twenty days from the time they leave
Dysart to put the cattle on the market
there in good, presentable condition.
They are fed regularly, corn and
hay, but at the shippers expense, the
ship company furnishing nothing but
the shipping space and the water,
which is carried in the hold as ballast
and pumped up as needed. All stock Is
generally insured before shipped. AT
Liverpool the cattle are taken in charge
by the commission firm to which they
are consigned, and are disposed OF
within few days, as the English law
requires that all American stock must
be slaughtered within ten days after
reaching port All sales are made at
the slaughtered weights, the animals
being killed and dressed before being
paid for,

The symptoms described in the fol-
lowing case are 50 common today
wherever overwork and worry have
resulted in decline in health that the
means by which cure was effected
deserve the careful attention of every
thoughtful man and woman. 1t is such
conditions as are here described that
are commonly neglected until the in
jury to the health is past repair. 1t is
therefore the part Of wisdom to take
the remedy that cured Mrs. James

says:
For several months was sick with
anaemia and part of the time had TO
remain in bed. 1t was brought on by
overwork, which produced a rundown
condition. My kidneys were weak ana
the secretions contained sediment.
My cheeks and lips were white, hau
bad headaches, dizzy and falnt'ns
spells, and would see black specks
floating before my eyes. l would OF

low-spirited and weak. My blood was
watery and I didn't have strength
enough to work.

months, but without avail. Then
read about DR. Williams Pink Pills IN
a paper and soon after began to take
them. A few boxes cured me, giving
me strength and plenty of blood, and
have been we'll and strong ever since.
So general is the success of DIR. VIII

Lacking in State
SIXTEEN ROADS REPRESENTED

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The sixteen rail-
roads of Iowa interested in the hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission for reduction of livestock
rates in Iowa are preparing to make
a hard fight.
Charging that all competition in
rates has disappeared, that the service
has deteriorated and that the transpor-
tation charges for live stock are de-
| termined by few men sitting in con-
| ference in a back room in Chicago, the
| Corn Belt Meat Producers Association
appeared before the commission on
complaint regarding the live stock
rates from the state.
| The commission is hearing the testl-
mony here, Commissioner Prouty rep
resenting that body, and sixteen of the
parties defendants According to the
complaint, the cattle rasers Of Iowa
have practically been wiped off the
map by rates which are discriminatory
and in favor of the producers of llli-
nois, Missouri and surrounding states.
| The railroads are taking great In
| terest in the case, because they have
| had more trouble with respect to live
stock rates in the west than with all
| other rates combined. 1t is insisted
that the rates everywhere in the west
are at such a low ebb that there is no
profit in the business, and it is hoped
to convince the commission of this, 81
least with respect to the rates from
the states involved in the present con-
| troversy.
| After stating that there are shipped
| from the state of Iowa about 10000
car loads of live stock yearly and that
the farmers of that state pay from %
| to so per cent more than the farmers
Of other states for like distances, the
| complaint states:
| There was time when competition
| existed between the defendants which
| helped to reduce rates as traffic in
creased and facilities for handling it
| improved. The last vestige of compe-
tition in rates has passed away. Today
| these rates are fixed by a little group
of men meeting in back room in Chi
cago and who levy tax upon the
traffic of the country amounting to
millions of dollars annually. Their de-
csions upon these matters in the past
| have proved just as final anr just as
binding as tho determined by a reign

roads receive an average of 1929 a ton
on live stock, or about an average OF
