road, will hold a first class live stock
exhibition and Horse Show on the 29th

take in adjoiaing counties Mr.. Thos.
Hogshead, our townsman, well known
for his love of everything pertaining

come. The executive committee of
the association consists of Messrs.

and W. S. Wood.

By SOME OTHER MEANS
Railroads Must Adjust Difficulties
Without Shippers Contributions

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept 22.-Railroads
must adjust their economical difficult
ties by some other means than by
asking shippers to contribute the
funds therefor, in the opinion of In
ter State Commerce Commissioner
Franklin 7. Lane, expressed during
the hearing today of the Western rail-
roads who seek to obtain a general
increase in freight rates.
Railroad officials had declared that
there were only two factors econon-
ically perfect in railroad management
namely, the mount of rates charged
and the method of capitalization and
financing. The elimination of the
rate question by the commissioner
aroused considerable interest among
the railroad men and attorneys pres
ent. They sought to learn if the
commissioner thereby implied there
must be readiustment of the meth
Cd of financing big carrier systems,
but Mr.. Lane ignored the effort.

Warm, Fresh Cream and Tubereu-
losis

Dr.. Osler has held that "the cure
Of tuberculosis is question of nutri-
ltion." In other words, it is ques-
tion of fattening the patient by the
use of suitable diet. This has not
been disputed, but there has been
difficulty about finding a suitable
diet. 1t has been almost impossible
to get diet that would meet the
conditions. A western physician an
nounces, however. the discovery of
what hef considers an almost infal-
lible means of forcing the body to take
on fat. For 15 years he has prescrib.
ed simple and easily procured diet
which has effected cures in hundreds
of cases. Those who have used his
method have gained often as much
as pound day, he asserts.
This diet consists simply of the
strippings of Jersey oow-a quart
twice day of the last milk taken at
milking. The patient is to drink
VlA5 AAOOAy -4e 10 AOoAAy Oil OACoaA
and drink it Immediately after it is
drawn from the COW, before it cOols.
One wants a healthy COW and by
preference q Jersey cow. 1t is adj
visable to milk the last quart she
gives into q separate dish, which
rests in larger vessel containing
warm water, warm enough to keep
the milk from cooling below blood
heat. The COW is to be well cleaned
before milking, since straining the
milk to get rid of dirt cools the milk
excessively. Drunk warm and fresh.
the cream is easily assimilated and
relished. But if allowed to cool it
may be difficult to drink the pre-
scribed quart. One may educate ones
self to taking the necessary quantity
by beginning with a glass in the
morning and another at night and in
creaslng the quantity gradually so
that in 10 or 10 days the full quart
will be taken easily twice day.
The remedy seems to deserve trial,
being in accord with the principle Of
nutrition laid down by scientific men
and involving the use of no deleter-
ious drug or clap trap apparatus. =

much that he had not before known,
