Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con-
nected by the nerves with the stom-
ach itself, 50 that they represent its
health or disorder. If the stomach or
its juices are out of tone, the blood
is fermented by a change in the aka
line or acid condition, and these
reach The mouth both directly and in
directly.
The taste buds are in the tongua
and are mounted by hairlike projec-
lions called papillae; they cover the
surface OF the tongue"
When you taste these buds rise m

The senate committee on railroads
gave a hearing last night to a number
of oil producers from the mid-continent

to Senator STANDARDS bill fixing rates
on oil shipments.
The oil producers favored the Stan
nard bill and stated that ii establishes
by law for the future. the rates for oil
shipments that have prevailed for the
past three years. It was declared that
the railroads are intending to increase
the freight rates on oil from 100 to

The oil producers who appeared before
the committee last evening were: z. A
Parsons, Ira Elliott and l. L. MARCEL

John NJ. Cameron OF Erie.
The railroad committee took no ac-
ton last night Next Wednesday night
the coal men will appear before the
committee, and other large shippers
will come in turn. All the pending rate
bills will probably be merged in one
and a committee measure drafted and
presented in the senate. Such a bill, If
framed, will cover most of the states
products.
