home mixture that any druggist will
put up for small sum, but is Sue
ceeds marvelously. Try it and in a
little while you should be losing a
half to a pound of fat a day You will
soon catch up with comfort at that
rate no matter how hot it gets. Al
iuring, isn't it? And when you real
ize that this inexpensive sane method
takes the fat off and gives you trim,
slim figure without causing wrinkles
or interfering with ones diet-it be-
comes more than alluring-it's fas-
einating. Fat folks say so.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Times

members of the National Monetary
commission appointed at the last ses-
sion Of Congress to devise plans for
currency legislation and composed OF
nine senators and nine congressman

ations for their trips to Europe TO

result it has become known in Wall
street that Senator Aldrich, who is
at the head of the commission, has
come to hold the opinion that the up
shot Of the commission studies will
be not to promulgate a new money
measure entirely but simply to make
additions and improvements to the
present so-called Aldrich-Vreeland
law.
In banking circles the news Of this
opinion Of Senator Aldrich has been
received with great interest for it is
recognized that, as head of the COM
mission and sponsor for the currency

Pacific Mail,Steamship Company
Says It Lost Money
THEY WANT TO CUT RATES
Statement, However, May be Issued
at This Time For It's Presumed
Effect in the Question OF Rates to
Japan and Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug l--Ae-
cording to the annual report OF the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company just
published, the receipts Of the COM
pany for the last fiscal year were
$428,Sl7 less than its expenditures for
the same period Local business men
interested in the trans-Pacihc trade
view this statement with alarm owing
to the ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission requiring the rail-
roads to make public their rates on
transcontinental freight inbound from
the Orient
The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
railroads have begun the printing Of
their rates as ordered and will have
them ready to go in force Nov, l.,
Officials of the road explain that these
rates will make the charge Of hauling
goods consigned to the Orient the
same for the trip to the coast as that
on goods consigned to Pacific coast
points. Goods inbound from the Or
lent, however, will go east from the
coast at lower rate than that paid
by domestic shippers using the rail-
roads only as there can be no ques.
tion Of discrimination OF rates raised
Railroad officials state that with
these rates published the steamship
companies will have smaller percen-
tage than ever OF the total hauling
charge on freight from the Orient to
the east and say that the existence OF
the steamship companies is threaten
ed.
Steamship ompany officials say
that in order to hold the Asiatic trade
they must have the power to work
with the railroads in cutting rates
Without this, and with the railroads
taking a fixed charge on all freight
from the Orient they declare that
they cannot meet the competition OF
foreign steamers.

BEAR FRlCHTENS Al
NEICHBORHOOD
NO ONE ACTUALLY SAW 1T,
BUT HOUSEHOLDERS AT
EIGHTEENTH AND GRAND
WE'RE BADLY SCARED.

Householders in the neighborhood
Of Eighteenth street and Grand ave-
nue. we're awakened at an early hour
yesterday morning by the presence OF
q bear. At least they think it was a
bear.
Along in the middle OF the night
some of the little dogs in the neigh
borhood began to bark, and a few
moments later could be heard the
heavy movements of some marauder
IN the bushes up the side OF the hill.
BY this time one or more OF the
women, more timid than the men,
who refused to get up to see what the
matter was, had arisen and were peek
ing out of their windows. Dimly a
big, black shadowy thing could be
seen moving about among the bushes.
II was a bear, sure enough, they
thought.
There are lots Of berries growing in
fhat vicinity and IT is probable bruin
wM there in search of the luscious
fruit. There was ludicrous incident
70 the matter, too, for as the bear
u
tried to climb up steep place the
listeners heard scramble and a
scratching and then what newspaper
reporters used to describe as dull
sickening thud." The bear apparent
h had taken tumble.
After thoroughly frightening the
residents there the midnight visitor
departed.
That the visitor was bear is very
probable. A black bear was seen
ever near Young's river week ago,
and it is also said that another one
was seen on Fifteenth street few
days ago.
