Effect ii Rate Decision by
Supreme Court
ATMOSPHERE IS CLEARED

Railroad Men Declare That While No
Cases Are Pending Which Hinge on
Decision It Is Bound to Have I'm
portant Bearing on All considera-
tions Of Rate Changes in the Future.
st. Paul, Feb. 22.-The decision of
the United States supreme court that
the interstate commerce commission
cannot prevent a railroad restoring 4
just rate to a normal basis demon
strates that railroad officials are not
to be hampered as much in their &C.
tivities as they have been led to be-
lieve they would under the additional
authority granted to the interstate
commerce commission by the new
federal railroad law.
A provision was added to the enact
ment last May which prevented a
carrier from making any change what
ever in a rate without the sanction of
| the commission. OF icials declared that
this would prevent them from making
any reductions in rates temporarily to
meet certain conditions and that the
present rate system would be more
rigid.
But the supreme court decision
seems to rob officials and shippers of
any such belief. According to the re-
ports from Washington the court
holds:
"That the interstate commerce COM
mission does not possess power to re-
duce a rate as unjust and unreason-
able" merely because the rate is in
| equitable under some circumstances.
as in cases where railroads induce
shippers to enter a field by offering
rates so low as to be unremunerattve
and later increase the rates."
Reasons for Reduced Rates.
Carriers of the Northwest have re-
i duced rates on certain commodities.
not only SO that the shippers along
their lines could enter a certain field
but also to maintain a more ever bal.
ance in car movement and to relieve
a situation of overproduction or of
scarcity. In q season where there has
been a surplus of potatoes in tue
northern part. of the state, for in.
| stance, the railroads have reduced the
transportation rate to a market where
there was a scarcity, to restore the
rate to a normal basis the next sea.
son. The railroads also reduced the
rate, say officials, on lumber ship
ments from the North Pacific coast,
in order to introduce the products in
Eastern markets. It is claimed the
rate was unremunerative. Finally a
compromise was reached and the lum-
Der rates now involved in litigation
are simply questioned as to their "just
and reasonable" features.
But officials say that while no cases
are pending which are Ringing on the
! decision of the supreme court the
action of the court clears the atmos-
phere considerably. It is bound to
have an important bearing on all o n
siderations of rate changes, except as
+! reduction to, meet water competition
is concerned which is controlled spe-
officially by the new provisions Of the
! federal law.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Ef-
 fectua. Cure For 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in curable- The usual symptoms are a full or blOating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings. a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, head aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and d general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth coated tongue and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show 9 slimy, infiamed condi- ton.
 The cure of this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily. thoroughly digested before it has time 10 ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces Of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do. and when normal digestion is secured rh- catarrhal condition will have disaT peared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson, the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuS- Golden Seal and fruit acids. These stores under the name of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not being patent medicine can be used with per feet safety and assurance that healthy
 
 follow their regular use after meals.
 The plan of dieting is simply another nane for stss- ation. and the use of prepared foods and new fangled break fast foods simply makes matters worse as any 'dysDeptic who has tried them knows
 As Dr. Bennett says. the only reason can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by every body who is trou bled in any way with poor digestion is because many people seem to think that because medicine is advertised or is sold in drug stores or is protected by a trade mark it must be a hunbug. whereas as a matter Of truth. any druggist who is obserVant knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cured more people of catarrh of the stomach in digestion, heartburn, heart trouble, nervous prostration and run down condition generally than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions for stomach combined

 "Yes. I arrived this morning to ap- pear as a witness for the defense of my son. he said.
 You ask me how it is that I am here? Well, l will tell you. I have de- cided that he is insane absolutely in studied medicine and looked into many such cases as his, and have now de- c3ded that I was in the wrong.
 For years I whipped that boy un- mercifully, but l can only remember one whipping that might have injured him, and that was the last one I gave him.
 He, from his actions, showed with uncomfortable temper, and while in d fit of temper could not reason.
 My theory is this-the crimes which he committed were all done while in this fit of inhuman wildness- He knew not what he was doing. but after t had taken place he could vaguely re member it all
 T saw him several times while he was in the asylum and he was usually agreeable. but I expect that when I appear on the stand he will give fearful exhibition, as he hates me like poison.
 T expect to see him attempt to jump out of the cage when I appear on the stand. will expose one of the worst conspiracies ever attempted. will show some of the most horrible conditions that ever existed. In fact will prove that my son is insane.
