Commerce commission against $50 rail-
roads, the Tennessee Central informs the
commission that > per cent of the car
rlers. including the Southern and the
Illinois Central. have given notice OF the
canceling of all joint tariffs with It and
the others named as defendants, will con =
cur in these cancellations.
If this is done. the complaint states.
the Tennessee carriers Will be complete
ly isolated and compelled 10 practically
suspend business.

New York Leads.

New York now heads the list OF ports
IN the amount OF net registered vessel
tonnage entered In the foreign trade.
len years ago London stood first, New
York second and Hongkong third Ant
werp being fourth. New York has In ten
years increased its entered vessel tom
mage over o6 per cent. which is a splen-
did showing, all things considered
London. IN the same time, had a
growth OF only little over 22 per cent.
in the same time made strides OF over
80 per cent. yet New York and London
are certainly not tagging in the great
competition OF the ports.
The most rapid rate OF progress made
In the last ten years has been achieved
ny the japanese port of Kobe whose
vessel tonnage has increased nearly 6i3
per cent from 7i0.S5l tons TO 5,497. SIT
tons; and by the South American port OF
Montevideo. which has increased 2SS per
cent from l.99l .554 tons to 7.725. .524 tons.

The Rat Question

Editor The Trbune-UntU year or
two ago a rat In Salt Lake was something
unknown. Now there arc thousands OF
them. Last summer rats made their
appearance upon our place. We are per
sistently lighting them. but our efforts
sccm 10 be OF no avail II takes more
than one or two In community 10 eN-
terminate such pest, During the past
six weeks we have caught more than
400 rats on orr poultry ranch To our
personal knowledge the rats have spread
over n territory i'm extent moro than six
teen square miles. They are now within
half mile Of tho center OF town, and
II something Is not done 10 cNtcrminate
them In another year they will be every
a considerable number OF full-GUown
chickens on our ranch this year. They
kin them and eat tho grain ont OF their
crops. The rats will also undermine
buildings and II not cNterminated Will cost
the citizens OF Salt Lake hundreds Of
thousands of dollars on this item alone
But the CHIEF reason they should be cN-
terminated is this: Mothers, Your babies
won't be safe after the rats get control
OF Salt Lake.
Those who arc troubled with these
pests please write your experience Ia the
papers and also phone us and assist In
starting an antirat movement with the
view Of getting bounty placed upon
these pests and thereby save Salt Lake
from the condition Of other rat-lnfcStcd
cities.
Remember. for every rat you see there
arc thousand you don see. Don con-
fuse these rats with the common water
or musk rat. These rats which are get
ting such start I'm Salt Lake have uu-
doubtcdly come IN with shipments of
freight. They weigh from two or three
pounds each and there arc three distinct
species. L. G., black rats brown rats
and white rats. There are also rats
which are a mixture of these three spe-
cics. These rats 9iH come INTO your
houses and are much more of a nuisance
than mice because they are dangerous.

An Experts Opinion
of Skin Diseases.

A prominent national expert on skin
diseases, whose names you are familiar
with, says that in all his scientific expe-
rence he has never found so hard dis
ease to conquer as Eczema. Yet he does
not hesitate to recommend Zemo as a
most successful remedy for the treat
ment of Eczema, itching skin diseases,
dandruff pimples, blackheads and all
other diseases of the skin aad scalp. He
says that not only do its curative quail
ties make it popular, but also the fact
that it is u clean liquid remedy for ex-
ternal use. A great improvement over
the old style greasy salyes and lotions,
which are not only unpleasant to use,
but do not destroy the germ life that
causes the disease. Zemo draws the
germs to the surface and destroys them,
leaving the skin clear and healthy. Can
be used freely on infants. City Drug
Co. will gladly supply those who call
with a free sample bottle of Iemo and a
booklet, which explains in simple Ian
guage all about skin diseases and how
to cure yourself at home with Zemo.
