Mr.. oIsen's Offer Must Have Core as

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had q
COW F.lt9d by a railroad train. In
dug season the claim agent for the
railroad called:
We understand, Of course. that the
deceased was very docile and valu-
able animal" said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agentleman-
~ manner, and we sympathize with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr.. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your COW had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri-
vate property and when she invaded
them she became trespasser. Tech
ically speaking, you, as her owner.
became trespasser also. But we
have no desire to carry the issue into
court, and possibly give you trouble.
Now, then. what would you regard as
a fair settlement between you and the

mendation Of the prison commission,

conyicts, as follows:

In all OF the cases in which the gov

strong pressure brought to bear to
secure favorable action and all the
petitions were accompanied by either
requests for clemency from the jurors
trying the case or from the judge and
solicitor before whom they were
tried

Fine Legal Points Concerning Road
Are Before Commission.
Atlanta "A case which involves a
fine point Of law concerning the ju-
risdlction Of the state railroad com
mission over the old state road is
that which is now under considera-
ton by the commission on petit
ton Of the Atlanta freight bureau to
require the N. c. & st. l.. road to APP
ply Georgia transportation to all in
terstate shipments on the w. & A.
road between Chattanooga and Geor-
gia points, -"
It is stated that If the commission
accedess to the petition Of the freight
bureau and the w. & "A. refuses to
obey the requirements of the commits
sion, it Is possible that body may call
upon the governor to proceed to for
felt the lease contract. On the other
hand, If the requirement should ibs
made and the road obeys 1t, shippers
and consumers in Georgia at all
point along the line Of the w. & A,
railroad will enjoy freight rates about
twenty-five per cent cheaper than
those now in force. The commission
will probably announce its decision in
the near future.

NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WORK
Plans Of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.

What "A Million for Tuberculosis
from Red Cross Seals" will do in pro-
viding some of the 275,000 beds need
ed at once in the United States for
consumptiyes, is explained in a recent
bulletin of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
berculosis. There is just about one
bed for every ten INDECENT consump-
tives, and If all tuberculosis persons
in the country are counted, both rlcn
and poor, hardly one for every 70 or
30. If sufficient hospital accommoda-
lions are provided only for those
who are too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment fully 275,O0O
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis will be needed at once
The immense outlay necessary to pro-
vide and maintain SO many beds In
hospitals, makes it imperative, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis de-
clares, that such institutions be erect
ed from public money, either NUM-
cipal, county or state. In order to
get appropriations for public hospitals
for tuberculosis, agitation is neces-
sary, and in order to create cam
paign of agitation, organization is de-
manded. But in order that an organi-
cation may carry on an effective cam
paign, funds are needed.
These funds 1t is proposed to secure
in as many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross seals.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
ut is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast, to start the machinery Of the hui
man system ON the days work.
"In cases OF Indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think 1t is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.

of more than 20 years, treating all

SPECIAL IRON RATES REDUCED
Railroad Commission Passes Far.
Reaching and important Order.

Railroad Commission Passes Far.
Reaching and Important Order.
Atlanta. The state railroad com.
mission passed an order reducing
rates on special iron products from
the Georgia ports to interior points
by 40 per cent. The vote on the prop
osition stood 3 to q Commissioners
Gambler, Hillyer and Stevens voted
for the reduction; Commissioners
Hill and Gray voted against the order
as adopted.
BY persons familiar with the
scope of the order it is regarded as
the most important and far reaching
action taken by the state railroad
commission in many years, and it is
stated that every hamlet, town and
city in the state will directly benefit
| from the reductions.
The reduction applies to both car
load and less than car load shipments
to and from the ports, and, in addi-
ton, tends to equalize the rates to
and from interior points to Savannah
and Brunswick.
The petition was brought last May
by the Atlanta Freight bureau, and
Attorney Edgar Watkins, of Wat
kins & Lattime appeared for the com
plainants before the commission.
Both Mr.. Watkins and H. T. Moore,
of the Freight bureau, are being con-
graduation upon the decision rem
dered, as it sustains every one of
their contentious
| The Atlanta Freight bureau brought
the petition before the commission in
the name of the Anderson Hardware
company, Beck & Gregg, the King
Hardware company company, Dink-
| ms & Davidson Hardware company
and SO other hardware dealers in va
rious parts of Georgia. The petition
differed from a previous complaint
along the same general lines in that
| ii prayed for reductions to all com
mon points in the state, whereas in
the previous petition only junction
points were mentioned.
Thus, it appears that the commits
sions action applies to every com
mon point in the state, as indicated

les.
Under the present regulations the
railroads make no difference in the

to and :froifi. the ports on shipments
of special iron, which includes much
building material. farm implements
such as chains, mattox,, picks, skeins.
etc. ,'N .>4
The hardware merchants petft0ned
for distinction in rate on car load
and less than car load shipments, and
the order of the commission grants
this request and changes the classi
fication on the special iron products
so that both car load and less than
car load shipments will move to and
from the ports at reduction approx
imating 40 per cent. as stated.
