THE CAUSE OF
NEURALGIA
Must BE Understood Before the Dis
ease Can Be Cured So That It
VIII Stay Cured

Te reason that neuralgia so often re-
ours alter the ordinary treatment is not
because 1t Is lncurable but because these
treatments fail to remove the cause
Neuralgia has been correctly called the
cry OF tie starved nerves for better blood.
Its most common cause is debility In
every case OF neuralgia it will be found
that the general health is run down and
that consequently the nerves are not re-
celVlng sufficient nourishment. Cold,
dampness and decayed teeth are some
times indirect causes but only to the ex-
tent that the body is unable to resist,
owing To its debilitated condition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills afford the
most effective treatment OF neuralgia.
They build up the general health and fully
nourlsh the underfed nerves in the only
possible way by building up and purify
ing the blood.
Mrs. Thomas Stott, of No 211 Jack
son street, Redwood City, Cal, who
was cured of neuralgia, SAYS:
DR.. Williams Pink Pills helped me
right away and IN a short time COM
pletely cured me OF neuralgia. had
been suffering for nearly a year from
neuralgia in my head. The pains were

Neuralgia is an unfailing warning that
the nervous system is feeble because
there is lack OF pure red blood and,
therefore, lack Of nourishment to the
nerves. This dependence OF the nerves
upon the blood for their nounshment
and health is fully described in our
booklet, Diseases of the Nervous Sys,

quest. DR.. Williams Pink Pills have

Long and Short Haul.

A long and hard fought contest in
the senate was over the so-called long
and short haul clause. The house
adopted a provision which is supposed
to prohibit railroads from charging as
much for a short as for a longer haul
There was much tactical maneuvering
in the senate and long campaign for
and against the language of the exist
ing law. It all ended in hodgepodge
provision, the exact meaning of which
appears to be clear to nobody. There
is considerable uneasiness among east
ern shippers over the senate amendment
on the long and short haul lest it de-
velOp to the great disadvantage of that
section of the country. Lawyers who
have examined it with some care say
that the senate provision, in spite of its
abundant verbiage, is virtually the en-
actment of existing law regarding long
and short hauls, except that the burden
of proof seems TO be placed more upon
the railroads. Apprehension lest there
be more jugglery of words on this pro
vision in conference and that somehow
or other the existing law viii be re-
pealed and open the way for great en-
barrassment to industries, is the cause
of flood of petitions and protests now
coming TO the senate

FIGHT OVER THE
RAILROAD BILL
Course of the Measure THROUGH
Congress Was Stormy
and EventfuI.
By Ernest G. Walker.
(Mail Special to The Advertise

\hall special to The AdVertiser1
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The rail
road rate bill, which opposition senators
have been battering for the best part
of two months, contains numerous feat
ures which Will constitute an advance
IN federal supervision over interstate
transportation. These oppositionists.
both insurgents and Democrats. concede
as much. Most of these desirable feat
ures have been adopted now by both
the senate and the house and are GER
tain to become law in some form if the
railroad bill reaches the President
To the general public the commerce
court is the best known provision in the
stoutly contested measure. In Wash
ington, outside of the White House, an
opinion prevails that the granting of
authority to the interstate commerce
commission to originate complaints
against rates, to determine the CLASH
fication of freight, the granting of au-
thOrity to shippers to specify the route
over which their goods are carried, and
the requirement upon railroads to quote
rates correctly to inquirers will be the
more beneficial to the country at large
The senate bill, as finally voted upon
and sent to conference, covers forty odd
printed pages. Quite one-third of this
is given up to the authorization Of the
commerce court. The procedure there
has been carefully Iedged about in both
| the senate and the house bills. Able
! lawyers of both bodies spent many days
| in studying and in debating to make
sure no serious blunders were committed
| in that connection. The majority senti-
ment in both houses was probably
| against any special court, but many
senators and representatives of the Re-
publican party deferred to the Presi-
dents earnest wish for the establish
ment of this court

More Power.

The power to the commission to I'M
+iata proceedings for the correction OF
unreasonable rates is regarded N some
quarters as the most important amend
ment which the railroad bill makes 10
existing law. For the entire blH
amounts to an amendment Of the law as
enacted in 1857 and subsequently
amended during the Roosevelt admins
+ro+ion At present the commission can
taLa cognizance of unreasonable rates,
only after complaint has been filed.
This requirement has proved cumber-
some and has often worked 10 the great
advantage of the railroad carriers
Not only must complaints be MED D!
shippers under the current law, but the
burden of proof is upon the complain
ant. The latter requirement mas proven
especiallv irksome. Very deteFihiheo
efforts have been made in the course Oh

CALIFORNIA;
Greatest Industry

The sensational developments of re-
cent months have shown that the Cali
fornia oil industry is far more wonder
full and far more profitable than even
the most enthusiastic had dared to i'm
agine.
There has never been anything like
California oil in all the growth and
history of the nation for making ire
mendous profits on small investments,
and it is doubtful if there ever will be
again.
We strongly urge the immediate pur-
chase of stock of the Ventura Oil De-
velopment Company, which controls one
square mile of oil land in the very
heart of the Ventura oil district, with
two wells already in oil sand, thereby
assuring a success to this great enter
prise.
We are offering You these shares at

Not Same Bill.

The President S original plans for the
court have been considerably modified.
The court will consist of five circuit
Judges, detailed from different parts of
the country for fve-ycar periods of ser
vice The President will have the ap-
pointment of five additional circuit
Judges, because of these new duties, but
no two of them shall be from the same
that each of these commerce court
Judges shall have an extra compensa-
ton of $4,000 while detailed to Wash
ington. The house makes the extra
compensation $4,000 a year.
A deal of language has been put into
the railroad bin also regarding the con
duet of eases before the court and about
the part the department of justice is to
have in defending suits brought to set
aside the orders of the interstate com
merce commission. There have been
many days of senate debate over the
plans of the President and Attorney
General WIckersham to transfer the de-
tense of such suits absolutely to the
department of justice. Critics claimed
the provision as originally drawn would
have been greatly to the advantage of
the railroads. The upshot of the long
fight Of insurgents chiefly, and Of Demo
Gratis in some degree, was that the sen
ate agreed that both the interstate com
rnerrc commission and the complaining
sbippers or organizations can appe(r IN
these suits and. as Senator CummlnS
phrased it "thus prevent any mIscar-
rage of Justice that might be lmml-

Still Antitrust.

Another great battle in the senate
over the bill affected the legalization
of traffic agreements. It was charged
that this amounted to the repeal Of the
Sherman antitrust law. An effort was
made to amend the section containing
that provision, so that traffic agree
ments and the rates Hereunder must
first be approved by the interstate com
merce commission before they could be
come effective. Finally that provision
was eliminated entirely, and the at
tempt to modify the sherman antitrust
law in that regard was abandoned.
Among the additional powers given
to the interstate commerce commission
is that of postponing the date when
rates shall take effect. The senate has
provided that rates under investigation
by the commission may be suspended for
one hundred and twenty days. and then,
in the discretion of the commission, for
six months longer.
An expected provision of the railroad
law amendments, as advocated by Presi-
dent Taft during his long western tour
last year. and also during the earlier
portion of the present session, was a
prohibition of railroad mergers. The
Dill. drawn EN Attorney -NEEHtidt W itfN
ersham under the President : direction,
has such a prohibition, but it was at
tackled by the insurgents as Ubiquitous
and speedily abandoned. Originally 1t
was expected to provide federal regula-
ton of the issues of railroad stocks and
bonds. The sections of the bill covering
that feature were assailed as providing
a scheme which would be welcomed by
the railroads. Democratic and lnsur-
gent votes forced it out of the senate
bill. A modified capitalization pr0vi-
sion is retained in the house bill, but
the opposition in the senate is so strong
that probably the entire subject VIII
be dropped in conference.
There are numerous other provisions
of the bill, mostly of a minor character.
In many particulars the bill viii be
made in conference, because of the dis
similarity Of language and provisions.
This is very marked with reference to
the control of telegraph and telephone
lines by the interstate commerce coal
mission. The house provision is COM
prehensive; the senate provision very
crude. But ii is claimed that confer
eDce agreement ought to be reached
without great difficulty and without
long delav.

consideration of the omnibus bill.
The senate mssed a few minor
bills and adopted the house resolu-
