HABITS CHAIN Certain Habits UnconsciousIy Formed and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estima tes that the amount of will power necessary to break a lifelong habit would, if it could be transformed, lift weight of many tons.
 It sometimes requires higher de- gree of heroism to break the oh aims of pernicious habit than to lead forIorn hope in bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town.
 From my earliest childhood was lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens l was miserable dyspeptic sui fering terribly at times with my stomach.
 T was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet could not deny myself cup for break fast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me l was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard .r
 But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast although it kept me constantly i'll. until I tried Postum. I learned to make 1t properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast. and care nothing at all for coffee.
 q am no longer troubled with dys- pepsia. do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee"

 The Southern Railway, the first to put in the reduced rates and conform to all the Alabama laws, shows net operating revenues for the year end ing June 30, 1909. of more than $1,000,000 in excess of it's net earnings for 1906. it's banner year, and s3,5oC,- oo0.44 more than in 1908.
 The Central of Georgia, the recuper- ating victim of years of railroad buc- $4o0.00o greater for 1909 than 1908, and the courts have held, If proper ac- count was made of the earnings of the Ocean Steamship company a subsidiary company of the Central, that the com pany would have money to pay interest on all of its income bonds. most of which represent, not invested values of future profits.
 The Louisville and Nashville reports to June 30, 1909, show that It's net earnings per mile of road are the great est in it's history, while the South and North, operated by the Louisville and Nashville between Montgomery and De- catur. shows net earnings Der mile of road more than S5 per cent greater than in 1906. Louisville and Nashville stock has been during the year at prac- tically the high price of it's history. The average rate of fare which the Louis ville and Nashville charges on it's lines and on the South and North Is less than 2k cents per mile and the aver age rate per ton per mile is less than one half of the average revenues al- lowed under Alabama statutes, and yet they are arguing to the courts and the people that if they allow to Ala bama these rates, which are higher than their average charge. their prop erty will be conflscated.
 am especially pleased to note the good feeling at present existing in the state between the railroad employees and the citizens. It has been the con stant endeavor of this commission to encourage this good feeling and 10 sug- BeSt 70 the SnlppefS anu tHe riilrodus the advantage of when possible, set tling their differences out of court. Whenever this could not be done tls commission was ready to decide the questions and enforce what appeared to them a reasonable application of the statutes. The commission has gathered and furnished information to fa their rights under the law.
 I believe that the railroads have at last recognized that we of Alabama have opposed certain conditions that obtained, and not that we fought the railroads; that we earnestly wished these arteries of commerce every sue cess and were willing to co-operate in any way possible to that end.

Prosperity of Railroads.

Have we bankrupted the railroads?
 Two new trunk lines have entered Alabama in the last two years and at this time railroad business and condi- tions are good.
 The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic got into financial difficulties in 1908 and went into the hands of receivers. This line made its own freight tariff and on account of its being under construc- ton, was. by the commission. practic- ally exempted from, the application of the lowered rates So Alabama laws or rates were not the cause of its un- doing.

HIGH WAGES a BENEFIT TO.

q.
THE wage question Is a question
Of civilization" said Professor Henry
G.: Adams head of~the political econ
omy department of the University
OF Michigan, in an address on 1.-THE
Church's Duty to Workingmen." He
argued that labor is entitled to "a
tenure of employment as a means
of guaranteeing stability.
Physical existence of man is nc
longer the basis of wages he con.
tinued. TT is the standard of liv.
ing. This change is made possible
by machinery. There are, two ways
to use the increment of riches-by
raising the standard of living and
by increasing the extravagances and
sluxuries Of the few. It is necessary
for labor: to- secure high wages tc
succeed in the first place, and all
should assist them to do SO, as that
is the only way to benefit society
as a. whole. ~ .''
