BIG RAILWAY FIGHT.

TAFT responded promptly and effectively
4 when the railroad situation was put fairly
up to him An injunction suit prevented the
western traffic managers from starting their
advanced schedule. The case will be fought our
in the courts
During the last few DAYS representatives OF
the shippers and manufacturers in the Middle
West have been in Washington bowling their
protests against what they term the eXtortions
of the railroad companies. But it seems. accord
ing to Mr. Wickcrsham, the attorney general,
that the government had been on the alert, had
learned OF the alleged conspiracy of the railroad
men to increase their rates, Mr.. Wckersham
had taken means to balk the scheme.
One of his reasons for keeping quiet. he says
was fear that the railroad attorneys would
buzz things into the ears of federal judges about
the proceeding being unusual, and the plans OF
the government might be thwarted.
In defiance OF the state of public opinion and
evidently believing that they were we'll en-
trenched in Washington, the railway men boldly
advanced their charges. The increases range
from 10 to 80 per cent No wonder the, worm
turned and there is cry of protest
1t is confidently expected that the increased
rates, if put in force will yield the companies
many millions OF dollars annually
One of the noticeable things about the new
schedule which was halted by the courts in
junction, is that although the increases affect
between 40 and so OF the principal commod-
ties OF commerce, inc rates on ptllolSuu ana Oh

SOMEWHAT HARD TO HANDLE
Plads, However, Are Always Con-
sideration to the Mother of
Growing Family.

Plaids are a dangerous reef in the
ocean of economy. In the hands Of
the inexperienced they may prove, in,
deed, expensive luxuries, and even alb.
ject failures.
Their attractiveness, however, is un-,
disputed and their appropriateness for
morning wear assured.
Ginghams this season are irresist-
ible. The ever-ready plaid frock long
ago made it's lasting appeal to the
young girl, to the mother of a family
of little children and to the grown
up; and those who have looked their
best in the large or even the medium
plaid have long ago learned to make
allowance for their own peculiarities
of color, size and figure.
From the smallest checks in one
color and white to the largest of
broken plaids in harmonious tones,
the softest of rose colors and old
blues predominant Strawberry and
raspberry reds are exquisite and the
usual line of black and white will
prove smart as ever when made on
the bias. This last device often saves
the day and the dress, where plaid
hangs in the balance.

Whole Country Is Stirred.

One of the most interesting reports
at the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was that
of the executive secretary, DR.. Liv-
ingstOn Farrand, showing the growth
of the anti-tuberculosis movement
since May l, 1909. The number OF as
sOciations for the prevention of con-
sumption has increased from 290 to
over 425; the number of sanatOria and
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis from 29S to 400; and the
special tuberculosis dispensaries from
222 to 265. During the year 1909
SO out of 43 legislatures in session
considered the subject of tubercu-
Iosis, and in % bills were passed
for the prevention or treatment of this
disease. Since the opening of the
legislative season of 1910, out of ten
legislatures in session up to May l, all
have considered the subject of tuber
culosis and every one of them has
enacted some law that bears on this
subject.

Guest Rooms.

Put more in your guest room than
the furniture, ornaments and plainest
necessities If note is to be hastily
written before the arrival of the trunk
with it's stock of stationery, what
could more pleasantly greet the eye
of your guest than a neat desk,
furnished thoughtfully with whatever
is needed, pens, paper, ink and enve-
lopes, sealing wax and stamps?
A work basket is always apropos
in every well-cared-for room for ones
guests, as many who would come to
tarry with you for a day or two would
not provide themselves with any sew
ing outfit. The dropping off of but
ton or tape, a rip or tear-these are
incidents of a day. Kind acts and
thoughts as manifested in these small
attentions are as great welcome as
words.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was

totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, / would

would commence and then | would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
