Missouri Roads Considering Rate
of Two and One Half Cents.
May Appoint a Committee to
Confer With Hadley.

Other Items of Interest in

St. Louis, March 25.-Arrangement
for establishing a passenger fare of
|21k cents a, mile and the issuance of
a 2-cent-a-mile book, the latter plan
in accordance with the idea of Cover
nor Hadley, are being discussed by
executive and traffic officials of Mis-
souri, railroads having headquarters in
st. Louis
The meeting was called by Presi-
dent Davidson of the Frisco, and it is
being held in his office in the Frisco
building. Vice President Miller of the
Wabash, and Vice President Clarke
of the Missouri Pacific. are present, as
are officers of other lines.
While one of the most important
railroads operating in Missouri enter
ed strenuous objections to compro-
mise, and declared itself positively in
favor of a rate of 3 cents a mile, a
majority of the carriers signif1ed their
desire for an anieable adjustment.
Several ideas have been advanced,
but none met with unanimous ap-
proval, because it was deemed best
for the railroad representatives and
the state officials to exchange opin-
ions and ascertain a basis for adjust
ing the rates, so as to give general
satisfaction and avoid further contro-

'My little daughter who was

MRS. c. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Taft and the South.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
In reply to those who charge that
Taft is trying to buy up the South;
that be is using improper means for
q man in his position to break the
political solidarity of this section,
and who are denouncing those who
have SO warmly welcomed him to the
South as evidencing a desire to be
bought, the Chattanooga Times SAYS:
"Mr. Taft deserves well OF the
South. He has been perfectly frank
in all his utterances with reference to
this section, its people, its policies
and it's institutions. He has frankly
said that he would like to see the
breaking up OF it's political solidarity
during his administration. He has
made no Interior promises as to what
he is going to do to help on that con-
dition; he certainly has not justified
those OF our contemporaries who have
taken alarm in saying that he pre-
poses 'to buy us with patronage and
divide us by iudicious division of
spoils, as more than one has init
mated he is planning to do. In reality
Mr.. Taft has nowhere and at no time
shown any disposition I'd become his
party's purchasing agent"
WedO not believe Taft mas any idea
of attempting to break the Sold
South by Offering appointments to
Federal Offices to Democrats Of this
section. He understands the men OF
the South too we'll to base any hope
on such a course But he does not
hesitate to tell the Democrats of our
section that he wants to see the pO-
litical change here during his admin
istratiOn-itis natural that he should
have this feeling-and we believe he
will try to bring it about by the gen
eral policies OF government he will
adopt-policies which he will apply
to all sections alike; in other words,
ignoring all sectional divisions. He
could pursue no course which would
please the people of the South more
or draw them closer to him. that is
what they ask of him and what they
expect from him. They are not seek
ing nor do they want any special ia
vOrs.
We will admit that there has been
too much gush over Taft since he has
been sojourning in the South. AS
the President-elect he was entitled to
Il warm welcome and true hospitality
from our people. This he has received
from all-staunchest political foes as
well as leading men of his own party;
but some Democrats have carried
their demonstrations OF welcome en-
tirely too far, disgusting both the
political opponents and the associ-
ates of the President-elpct, thus Civ
ing semblance of excuse for the
charges above referred to against
certain Democrats of our section. We
do not believe, however. that per-
sonal gain was the object OF those
men, but a mistaken idea as to the
means of advancing the interests of
their section with the next President.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every Woman Should Read This.

The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere men,
ton OF their names, and it is a fact that
most OF these diseases are of catarrhal
nature. A woman cannot be we'll if
there is a trace OF the catarrhal germs in
her system.
Some women think there is no help for
them. We positively declare that to be
q mistaken idea. We are so sure of this
that we offer to supply medicine alb
solutely free OF all cost in every instance
where it fails to give satisfaction OrdOes
not substantiate our claims. With this
understanding, no woman should hest
tate to believe our honesty of purpose,
or hesitate to put our claims to test.
There is only one way to cure Catarrh.
That way is through the blood. You
may use all the snuffs, douches or like
remedies for years without getting more
than temporary relief at best. Catarrh
is caused by germ. That germ is car
ried by the blood to the innermost part
OF the system until the mucous mem
brame is broken, irritation and inf1amma-
ton produced, and flow of mucous re-
suits, and you can probably realize how
silly it is to attempt to cure such an all
ment unless you take a medicine that
follows the same course as the germ or
parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically pre-
pared from the prescription of an emf
nent physician who for thirty years made
his speciality Catarrh, and with this
medicine he averaged 90 per cent. of
cures where it was employed. No other
remedy is so properly designed for the
ailments OF woman. It will purify and
enrich the blood, stop mucous discharge,
destroy all germ matter, remove all i'm
purities from the system, soothe, heal
and strengthen the mucous tissues. and
bring about a good feeling of health and
strength.
We want you to try Rexail Mucu-Tone
on our guarantee. If you are not bene-
fitted, or for any reason not satisfied,
simply tell US and we will hand back
your money. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes
in two sizes, SOC. and $1.OO. w. W.

No Occasion to Throw a Fit. -
Mt. Olive Tribune.

MI. OllVe Tribune
There is no occasion for any one to
"thrOw q fit" over the report of the
Legislative Auditing Committee,
which was submitted to the General
Assembly last week. The committee
was appointed by the 1907 General
Assembly to investigate the records
and general office conditions in the
State Treasury, the Auditors office
and the office of the State Commits
sioner of Insurance, and while a num-
Der of sharp criticisms appear in the
report, especially in regard to the Of
flee of the Insurance Commissioner,
there is absolutely no evidence of dis
honesty or wrOng-doing, and the
public should be slow to form hasty
concusions-at least until all the
fncts in the case are known. Every
one OF our State officers are men of
unimpeachable character and while
the Insurance Commissioner may
have been negligent in the matter of
bookkeeping, we do not believe dis
honesty can be shown on the part of
this or any of the other State depart
ments. The worst phase of the entire
affair is the disorder and confusion in
the office of the Insurance Commits
sioner, due doubtless to lack of Of
flee help, and the payment of $1,000
per month to the Governor for num-
Der of years under an old law that
was enacted under the administration
of Governor Jarvis to defray house
rent. This law has remained on the
statute books and the amount has
been paid over to the Governor each
month, but just who is to blame for
the oversight no one seems to know.
No wrong has been done consciously,
as every one who knows the charac-
ter OF our State officers believes.
