Fer Mad Dog Bite.

We clip the following from the
"Woman's National Daily:
Editor Womans National Daily: L
found the accompanying remedy for
mad dog bites in an old scrap book and
having seen so many items about per-
sons being bitten by dogs I thought L
ought to get you to give this remedy the
wide publicity of your large circulation:
Franklin Dyre, a prominent farmer Of
Galena, Kent county, Md, says he test
ed this remedy and found it sure cure
for mad dog bite Elecampne is plant
that is well known and can be found
growing in most gardens, or the dried
root can be secured in any drug store.
Take one and half ounces Of the root
of the plant-the green root dreterahle
but the dry will serve. Slice or bruise
it and put in pint of fresh milk,
Boil down to half pint and then strala
and let it cool Drink it and do not eat
anything for six hours. Next morning
use two ounces of the root and the same
quantity of milk. Repeat the dose On
tae third morning and all danger will
be past [ used this remedy in the case
of MY son, who was bitten by dog
known to have been mad, and in the
cases of four othea children, and it say
ed them all. l have known number of
others who were bitten and who used
the remedy successfully. l have never
known it to fail. I think everyone
should know of this very simple and
very sure cure. ID. ). DUNN,

Raising Freight Rates.

Official heads of the great Eastern,
Western and Southern railway systems
do not hesitate to admit that between
now and October l az effort will be
made to increase freight rates on many
lines Of commodities.
This action, they say, will be taken IN
face of the protests of the shipping in
terests. The higher tariffs will be filed
in October or early in November with
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and, at hearings before that body, the
entire matter will be thre8hed out by
representatives of the shippers and the
railways.
Representative of the Eastern trunk
lines at their recent meeting at the
Trunk Line Association offices, appoint
ed committees in districts of the trunk
line territories to adjust the proposed
rate increases between given points.
These committees have been at work
eyer since Freight traffic officials Of
the trunk lines had meeting in Chicago
Monday to revise the new tariffs. Il
was said that the work of the rate
clerks had been completed and that the
heads of freight departments were now
examining the new rate schedules for
purposes Of revision.
In similar fashion committees are al
work in different parts of the country
in the South as we'll as the West. The
difficulties in drawing up the increased
rate schedule lie in the fact that rates
between given points are interdepend-
ent. If the rate on commodity be-
tween ST. Paul and Chicago is advanced
the rate Oh the same commodity will be
affected between Buffalo and Chicago.
Thus a great amount OF detail work
must be accom- piished before the sched-
uies are drawn up.
When the work of the committees has
been con- pIeted it will be laid before the
presidents of the railways at a meetin g
previous to the fling of the rate sched-
ules with the commission.
With the exception Of the grain eX
port shippers, none of the commercial
bodies mas made a protest against the
increased rates to the Trunk Line Asso-
citation. Such protests have been made
in great numbers, however, to individ-
ual railway companies, such as the
Lackawanna, New York Central, Fri,
and Pennsylvania lines, by commercial
associations in St. Paul, Milwaukee, St.
Louis, Chicago and other traffic cen
tiers.
An organized movement was. also be-
gun recently against the rate increases
OF live stock by stock-rai sing interests
in the Southwest. But these appeals
have been referred to the Interstate
Commerce Commission to await the time
T when the increased rates are fled. Pre-
vious to fling they cannot be consider
ed by the commission.
1t has been the complaint of the ship
pers Of grain for export from this port
that grain shipn. ents have been diverted
TO Montreal to such an extent that the
| sending of grain abroad from New York
has practically ceased. A committee,
recently appointed by the Produce Ex-
change met represen tatiyes of thu
trunk lines, requesting that the export
| grain rates east from Buffalo be re
| duced from { J &c hts to cents bushel
The Eastern roads decided no reduc-
| ton could be made.

erg in both counties we've heard.
The commission is row perfectly

ctano ora ,,harS of the TTuita6 States

Ryon, of Prince Georges called on the
commission and filed with it briefs
