THE TRANSIT PRIVILEGES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Says Violation of Published
Rates Must Stop.

Washington, May Violations Of
published freight rates have resulted
from various practices of railroads
md shippers outlined in an opinion
banded down today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the matter
Of the substitution of tonnage at tran
sit points. The commission announces
fatty that the continuance of such
abuses Of its rulings will compel re-
sort to criminal prosecution including
both shippers and carriers, to bring
about obedience to the raw.
The commission does not condemn
the transit privilege As such, but
holds that the responsibility for saft
guarding the transit privileges to he
end that the lawfully published rate
shall be collected, rests entirely upon
the carriers. Shippers, however, viii
ont be excustd in any case where
they defeat published rates by any
abuse of transit privileges The duty
Of shippers to pay published rates is
precisely the same as the duty OF
to collect such rats.

viii Prevent Railroads From Making
Unfair Rates With View To
Running the River
Business

Washington, May Representa-
tive Jos. T.. Ransdell. OF Louisiana,
president of the National Rivers and
narbors Congress, i elated over the
adoption in the House of the long
and short haul clause of the railroad
rate bill, which he regards as a ire
mendous step forward in the rehabil-
itation of the waterways of the Uni
ted States by prohibiting the railways
from making determinations again t
them.
Mr.. Ransdell, in discussing the long
and short haul feature of the bin.
which was retained in the house by a
vote of l72 to AZ, said
1t means that tht old law on the
subject which has been q dead letter
for years Is amended by emitting the
word,s Under substantially similar
circumstances and conditions These
words have been construed by the
courts to mean that in serving places
on navigable waterways, railroads
We're not obliged to observe the rule
prohibiting them from charging more
for q shorter than for longer hanl
over the same line in the same di-
rection. and that they could make any
rate they desired regardless of dis.
lance.
The passage Of this particular for.
ture of the railroad rate bill means
thlt the country is throughly aroused
to the necessity of giving fai: treat
ment to all sections--to small interior
towns as well as the large cities. I'll
also demonstrates beyond any pr2al
yantuPt thar, congress has awakenel
at last to the na3css.ty Of protecting
the waterways from unjust railroad
competition and discrimination.
All the friends OF river and harbor
improvements In congress supported
this provision. and believe its results
are going to be beneficial to the wat
erways, not injurious to the railroads
and that in the long run the people |
are going to get cheaper freights.
Will be Discrimination Bar.
For many years the practice of the |
railroads has been to charge small |
rates at river points until the boats |
were driven out of business, WHERE |
upon the rail rates would be raised, |
and at the same time reeoup any |
losses at those points by larger
charges at all interior places. This
pan not be done II the recent long
and hort haul elaust is finally adopt
Ell and enforced in the spirit and as
by its trainers.

17-YEAR L0CUSTS.
COMMON BELIEF THAT THEY
BRING WAR OR PEACE ON
THEIR WINGS.
Strongly Marked With "W" or up"
Always Come on Schedule
Time and Marks Have
Never Failed.
(Relleville Record.)


This is the year that the l7-year
locust is due and in few weeks
!, he will make his appearance on the
farms of the middle west. At least
the authorities on locust lore and
superstition are. sure he WILL and
they have never been mistaken In
the past. No one seems to know ex
actly where the 17-year locust comes
from, but it is matter of record
that he does show up reguraly just
the same.
The thing that Is interesting the
farmers and the old-times most Is
whether he will bring a wv on his
wings, or "P" as Is hoped. ''W'
on 17-year locusts wings means
war. There is not reason under the
sun that is known as to why 1t
should be Always either wv" or Up"
but those are the only two letters
that have been noticed, says an ex-
change.
Locust lore experts have a good
deal of statistical backing when they
assert that if the "W'' is on the
wings 1t will surely mean war, and If
the p" is on the wings it will just
as surely mean peace.
In 1893, the last time the locusts
wpra hara coiJ On nll oo,,,,,.,o;, l
traveller the other day, the wings
bore decided Nv" and we promptly
got into war with Spain. In 1876 I
saw the wings Myself, and following
that we had peace and plenty.
Il don't remember so far back as
1859, that Is to say, | don't remember
locusts back in those days, but
have been told by scores of farmers
that the 17-year locust showed up
that year and that the W. was very
plainly seen on each wing. The civil
war followed.
Some of the older generations OF
farmers have records in the old fam
lily Bible to prove that the former
visitation of the 17-year locusts pre-
saged the Mexican war by bearing
wv" on their wings. | can tell you
the farmers are not anxious to have
them come, but they are all super
stitious as to their verify as har.
bingers.
When you come to think of It,
this letter business seems like
very foolish superstition. But when
you know that they do bear either
the W. or the "P" and that the sign
has never failed, how are you going
to explain it,"

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Cairo People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney
Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment irregular of
passage or attended by sensation of
scalding. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
eur and the victim is often weighed
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger Of dropsy, Bright's
disease, or diabetes. Any one Of
these symptoms is warning enough to
begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
Yoa can use no better remedy than
Doans Kidney Pills. Here's Cairo
proof:
Mrs. Henry Etz, 225 Nineteenth
street, Cairo, ILL.,, says: 81 am glad
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as
consider them to be the best kidney
remedy in existence. They have been

Take your sour, out-of-order stomach

Take your sour, out-of-order stomach
Or maybe you call it Indigestion, Dys-
pepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stom-
ach; it doesn't matter-take your
stomach trouble right with you to your
Pharmacist and ask him to open a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and let
you eat one 22-grain Triangule and
see If within five minutes there is left
any trace of your former misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there
is lack of gastric juice; your food is
only half digested, and you become
affected with loss of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplessness, belchlng OF gas,
biliousness, sick headache, nervous
ness, dizziness or many other similar
symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or il
you feel bloated after eating, Or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom Of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good as any;
that there is nothing really wrong.
Stop this fermentation and begin
eating what you want without fear of
discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how
soon you take little Diapepsin. ***
