 IN SWITCHING CASES
The Commission Holds the Charges
 to Be Unre asonable.

Washington, May 6.-In a report by Commissioner Franklin Lane. made public today. the Interstate Commerce commission has rendered it's decision in the San Francisco and Los Angeles switching cases, involving the right of the carriers to make additional charge for receiving and delivering carload freight to and from industries located upon industrial spur tracks and side tracks when the carriers receive the main line haul.
 For years it has been the practice of railroads entering San Francisco and Los Angeles to exact a charge of $2.50 a car in addition to the regular freight charge for this spur track delivery
 The commission holds the charge is unreasonable and unlawful and di- rects that it be discontinued

When Edward breathed his last there came to a close. a life of unique personality. He was loved almost universally-first of all as a man whose natural attributes made him dear to the hearts of his subjects;
 next. as a monarch whose ability to fulfill the role he was called upon to assume was demonstrated consplcu- ously.

WHICH
HAS NEVER FAILED
Every Case of Liquor Drinking Has
Been Successfully Treated.

In the beautiful city Of DAvEN-
PORT is the home of the Neal Three
Day Liquor Cure, which is known
far and wide as the most successful
treatment in the world for all forms
of drunkenness.
Just think of it! The Neal Treat
ment has never yet failed in single
case to make a cure-and it never
will, for it is a perfect antidote for
alcoholic poisoning-and alcohol is
just as deadly poison as any OF the
strong acids, only it acts more slow
~. OF all the liquor cures known
the Neal is the only one that claims
even, to make a cure in three days
time, and without hypodermic injec-
tions or injurious drugs.
1t makes no difference how long
the patient has been drinking, how
much or how little. or what he
drinks, the result is always the same.
Not only is all craving for alcoholic
drink completely destroyed, but In
addition the patient Is rapidly re-
stored, mentally and physically to a
normal state.

ACCUSED MAN IN
AN INSANE ROLE
Charles Hovis, Under Indict-
ment, Plays Crazy and is
Sent to Hospital.
ADMITS HAVING FAXED
On Strength of His Statement He is
Returned From Waterfowl to
the County Jail.

Charles Hovis, alias Charles Bell,
who is under indictment by the grand
jury for conducting confidence game,
and who was adjudged insane and COM
mitted to Watertown four weeks ago,
was returned to the county jail Satur-
day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Wal
ter Kittilsen.
While confined at the county Jail,
previous to his commitment to Water
town, Hovis went through a series of
movements and contortions which led
his keepers and the physicians to be-
lieve that he was subject to epileptic
commissions. He also attempted to as
sault the jailers at every opportunity,
shying pieces of a bench, which he had
broken, at them
1T was decided then that he be given
hearing before the county judge, to
see whether or not he was sane. His
actions were at the time undoubtedly
those OF a crazy person and he was
ordered to be taken to WATERFOWL.
Asks to Be Returned.
When Hovis saw the deputy Saturday
he asked that he be taken to the coun-
ty Jail. He stated that he was taking"
all the time and at no time was he any
thing but rational. Hovis evidently
thought that after he entered Water
town hospital his chance for escape
from the custody of the law would be
good one, but after he was there a
short time he found that the watch
over him was too close for an attempt
at escape.

Medical Freedom" who have the
mistaken idea that a national health
department would disbar all irregu-
lar practitioners.
Great expenditures are being
made in opposition TO the measure, I"
said DR.. Wiley. is it possible that
interested parties are furnishing the
funds? The regular medical profess
sion, on the other hand, is standing
almost unit in favor of national
department of health, thus betraying
an altruistic spirit which should re-
ceive universal commentator"
DIR. Wiley Gives His Reasons.
In DR.. Wiley's Chautauqua, N. Y,
address, he gave numerous reasons
for advocating department of
health. He said that the present hui
man health activities of the govern
ment are scattered among a number
of departments.
."All of these activities are related
and need common direction" he said.
The collection of money for the use
of the United States government is
confined to the treasury department;
the organization of the land forces
for defense and offense; to the war
department; the building up of the
navy, to the navy department; the
distribution of letters, newspapers,
et cetera, throughout the country, to
the postoffice department.
None of the heads of these great
departments are by law or by pref
erence charged with the direction OF
the public health. It cannot be ex-
pected, therefore, that this problem
so important to the welfare of the
country-will receive due considera-
ton when 1t is entrusted to agencies
distributed among so many different
departments as is the case at pres
ent. One bureau engaged in the pro-
motion of public health may not
know what another is doing until
after the publication Of the results
One Head Over Health Affairs.
There is need, therefore, of CO.
ordination and general supervision
from a common and competent head
In other words, the supervision Of
the public health, being the most Inn
portant work in the preservation Of
our natural resources, should be
given to a national department o.
/ health, the head of which should bt
member of the presidents cabinet
and be, by education and experience
skilled in matters relating to the de
partment over which he is called tt
preside"
