COMPLAINTS AGAINST SANTA FL
Charges That Road Is Three Times in
Excess on Lumber Rates.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Charges that the
freight rates on lumber in Arizona are
excessive are made by. three lumber
companies in that state, who caused an
investigation to be made in Chicago by
Commissioner Prouty of the interstate
commerce commission. According to
rhe lumber companies the rates on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
Southern Pacific and six other railroads
are approximately three times what
they should be. The companies max
ing the complaint are the Saginaw and
Manistee Lumber company of Will
Jams, the Arizona Lumber and Timber
company of Flagstaff and the Greenlaw
Lumber company of Cliffs, Ariz. The
lumber concerns say they ship about
l20s000,0O0 feet of lumber annually Their
market, they say. is almost entirely in
Arizona and New Mexico, as the high
freight rates to eastern markets would
eat up all the profits
William F. Dermond, president and
general manager of the Saginaw and
Adanistee Lumber company, and G. w.
Luce, general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific railroad, were ques-
toned by Commissioner Prouty. The
latter gave the attorneys for the lum-
Der companies until February 15 to file
briefs, and the railroad representatives
until March l to make reply. Argu-
ments will be heard by the interstate
commerce commission in Washington,

TELLS "MAD DOG" FACTS
DOCTOR POINTS OUT WHAT HE
ASSERTS ARE ERRORS.
NO hnoWn Cure For Rabies, While
There Is No Infectious Disease
So Easy to Prevent,


So Easy to Prevent.
DR.. Langdon rockingham, in the
course of discussion of rabies in
the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, says that for practical pur-
poses all other possible sources of
infection can be excluded except the
bite Of rabid dog, which in certain
conditions will run from 20 to so
miles biting nearly every person and
animal 1t meets. He concludes that
II there were no dogs there would
be no rabies, except IN countries in
tested by wolves.
If the disease is to be avoided the
dogs must be prevented from biting,
and the only way to do it, he de-
clares, IS to muzzle them. 1t is
often impossible or even difficult, he
remarks, to cure an infectious dis
ease, but it is a simple matter to
prevent it.
There is no known cure for rabies,
he asserts, after the symptoms of the
disease have appeared; on the other
hand, there is no infectious disease
which is so absolutely simple to pre-
vent and yet so difficult, owing to
misdirected sympathy of the So
called humane.

DOVES ARE DISAPPEARING
Where There Were Millions of the
Birds Slaughter of the Shoots
Has Trimmed Them Out.

The generally reported scarcity Of
ton is being pointed to by "I-told-
you-so" individuals as partial fulfill
ment of prophecies which have been
made freely during the last twenty
years that these once plentiful birds
were doomed to extinction as COM
plete as overlook their first cousins,
the passenger pigeons. The latter
have been extinct for a good many
years, and it is predicted now with
greater confidence than ever that the
doves are to suffer the same fate,
and that soon.
A few years ago it was truly said
that in the late winter and early
spring months doves by the million
swarmed the fields and woods of
southwest Georgia" 1t is not nee
essary to bait the birds in order to
kill them in large numbers. They
were to be found everywhere, and
they were ruthlessly slaughtered
without thought of the future.
The result of the policy has been
to thin out the doves. For two or
three years it has been noticed that
the birds were much scarcer in this
section Of the state than they had
ever been, but bags in excess of 100
were made by many gunners. This
winter, however, none of the baited
field shoots have PANIED out well,
so far as numbers Of the birds COM
ing to the bait count. Some persons
are diSDOSed to attribute the short
age to other causes, but the great
majority of sportsmen do not doubt
that the merciless slaughter Of past
years is responsible for the present
scarcity.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected By Con.
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths From This Disease.

III people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an internal
disease that external applications
cannot cure they would not need to
be warned so often about this NAL
ady, which, when neglected, paves
the way oftentimes for consumption,
at the cost of millions of lives every
year. Yet catarrh may be cured if
the right treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by a general
diseased state of the system which
leads commonly to annoying and per-
haps serious local conditions, which
may prove a fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or inter
nal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the
infection of consumption and other
diseases.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a speciality, and whose rec
ord was patient restored to health
in every case where his treatment
was followed as prescribed. That
remedy is ReXall Mucu-Tone. We
are so positive that it will completely
overcome catarrh in all its various
forms, whether acute or chronic,
that we promise to return every pen
ny paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any rason
does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee.
We have. Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes, SO cents and $1.00. Very oft
en- the taking of one 50-cent bottle
is sufficient to make a marked i'm
preston upon the case. OF course
in chronic cases a longer treatment
is necessary. The average in such
instances is three $500 bottles. Re
member you can obtain Rexall Rem

Consolation Is of Value.

The physician declares that while
the disease is exceedingly rare the
universally fatal course of it after
it has once developed and the horror
of its symptoms make it important
for us to recognize it as an actuality.
Certain prevalent errors are re-
sponsible for some of the confusion
concerning rabies, the writer says.
He enumerates them as follows:
l. Killing of a dog after the ami
NAL has bitten man. If a suspected
animal remains healthy for 10 days
after biting there can be no danger
to the bitten, even if the dog later
becomes rabid, even the consolation
to be derived from the continuance
of health in the dog is of the great
est value in relieving morbid appre-
hension in the person who has been
bitten.
2. The statement that rabid dogs
show fear of water. This appears to
be never the case, although in a ma
jority Of persons suffering from
rabies there is some dread of drink
ing, from the experience that fluids
in the mouth may produce pharny-
geaI spasm.
