PURELY VEGETABLE
TIE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. s., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. 1t has been IN
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
fine blood free to all who write.

TAFT ORDERS CUT

Government Departments Di-

for Coming Year

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-President
Taft informed his cabinet officers after
scrutiniizng the final draft of the esti-
mates of thev arious government de-
partments for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1911, that there must be fur
ther cut in them.
Representative Alexander of New
York, chairman of the house commit
on rivers and harbors, and General
Bixby, chief of the engineers of the
army, were among those in the confer
ence.
Alexander said that the rivers and
harbors bill to be reported to congress
would carry approximately $4,000, 900
in appropriations and authorizations.
At its first meeting tomorrow the
rivers. and harbor committee will have
before 1T the estimates of the war de-
partment and the general plan to which
the president is favorable.
This is the first bill to be prepared
under the plan for an annual river and
harbor bill. Members of the commit
tee have not had an opportunity to
examine the estimates carefully, but it
is expected the total will be much
smaller than any of recent years. Es-
Inmates of appropriations needed for
continuing contracts amount to about

tions of about $22, 100000,

RATE RAISE WILL
BOOST COAL PRICES
Illinois Commission Permits In-
crease of 7 Cents a Ton in
Freight Tariffs
Eastern Fuel Will Be Is or SO
Cents Higher to the
Consumer
[Speeial Dispatch e The Call

CHIC AGO, Nov. 2e.-The price of coal
is expected to advance as the result of
decision of the Illinois railroad and
warehouse commission this afternoon.
The decision grants the railroad a. right
to increase the freight rates on coal
between Illinois mines and Chicago and
other industrial cenfers of the northern
part of the state. and as several deal
ers expressed it during the afternoon,
"the consumer viii pay the freight"
The decision OF the commission per-
nits an advance Of Z cents ton, but in
the case of the consumers the increase
is expected to be something like 25 or
so cents. On the basis of the 1924, 900
tons of coal brought into Chicago from
Illinois and Indiana during the coal
season of 1909-1910, the advance will
add $4,000 to the freight bills for
Chicago alone.
The advance in rates pronounced rea-
sonable by the commission. following
an investigation started last June and
over the protests of the manufacturers.
is less than that asked by the railroads.
They have filed tariffs effective Decem-
Der 1, increasing the rates by 10 cents
ton both from Illinois and Indiana
mines. The tariffs were originally in
tended to take effect June L, but were
suspended by the roads pending a de-
cision of the commission after the ILL
nois manufacturers association and the
Commonwealth Edison company had
asked the commission to fix the exist
ing rates as maximum for the state.
AS the tariffs already have been filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion and it is now too late to with
draw them, the advance of 10 cents
will be made December 1 and will con-
tinue for 10 days. until the new rates
can be fled
Counsel for the shippers, while not
entirely satisfied with the decision, de-
clared it had proved their contention
that the advance intended by the roads
was unreasonable. The railroads, not
entirely satisfied because they were not
allowed their full advance, probably
will accept the decision without pro-
test.
The rates determined as reasonable

Chairman Orville r. Berry of the COM
mission after two days Il argument by

the manufacturers. a formal decision
comprising the con9plete findings of
