That our American Forests abound n
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness OF many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This Informs.
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have q rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

BARRIERS plan to Organize
Against All Onion Eaters

Minneapolis, Sept. 18-The sugges-
ton Of Rudolph Willetts of Milledge-
vile, New Jersey, to form a BARRIERS
anti-onion eating association to be
known as the "Anti-Onion League of
America" is received with favor by
some Minneapolis BARRIERS and with
disfavor by others. Willetts has sent
out circulars outlining his scheme for
what he calls the "betterment Of our
ancient and honorable calling"
The only conditions Willetts would
put upon admission to the order are
that the applicant shall be barber,
and shall promise to abstain absolute
~ from onions SO long as he shall
continue to WELD the razor upon the
general public. During vacations or
at such times as he is not engaged at

WILL OBEY
Railroad Protests and Re-
serves Right to Appeal
At Any Time.
WILL REACH THE COURTS

Washington, Sept. 1s.-The Penn
sylvania railroad will comply under
protest with orders recently issued by
the interstate commerce commission,
providing for general balance sheet
statement and for the treatment of ex-
pendtures for additions and better
ments.
The Pennsylvania has announced
its course In a letter making pro-
test. but at the same time giving not
ice that its accounts will be kept in
accordance with the accounting rules
laid down by the commission.
This means that the Pennsylvania
reserves the right to appeal from the
commissions order at any time and it
is expected that the matter of this
classification OF expenditures on the
railroad will be fought out in the
courts.
The question has been the subject
OF an extensive correspondence be-
tween the commission and Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the latter's letter
according to the commission classes
the correspondence in a manner en-
tirely agreeable to the commission"
The particular point at issue per-
tains to the rule that expenditures
for additions and betterments shall
in no case be charged to operating ex-
penses. and further to the fact that
1T is no longer permissible to charge
such expenditures to income, to profit
and loss or to special funds In such a
manner as to exclude them from the
property accounts in the balance
sheet statement.
The policy of improving property
out OF the revenue is not called In
question, but the new accounting
rules do provide that every increase

should be set uD In the property ac-

There was no guarantee under pre-
vious methods that q railway balance
sheet covered all TRANSACTIONS, but the

After she had left the house, Mrs.
Noerpel ran back to get her jewelry.
She was overcome by smoke and was

robbed the cash register of $18. The
damage was estimated at $500.

The proprietor Of shop on Wash

calling should be deprived of what
is truly their only means of self-de-
tense against onion eating customers.
