There is a widespread idea that the habit of imbibng water or any other fluid as food is harmful. l believe it conclusions and promulgated more by tradition than by painstaking observa- tion. although coupious draughts of ice water gulped down during fatigue or profuse precipitation are both un- hygenic and dangerous, writes Dr. B M.

Eight of these young men were instructed to drink no water with meals and only what was demanded to satisfy thirst between meals for q week. The other eight were instructed to drink four glasses of water with each meal and between meals to drink it as was

The eight who drank four glasses at a meal fared much better. All gained in weight from four ounces tO two and one quarter pounds, except one, whose weight remained the same. Not one had headache, constipation or any digestive discomforts.

the present rates established by the
 Interstate Commerce Commission tw5 years ago are now unreasonabiy high and would not be satisfactory basis for the entire territory. The witness said:
 The comparative statements we have introduced show that all Ari- zona rates are unreasOnably high and unjustly discriminatory in compari- son with other rates, and l think We are entitled to reasonable rates for the entire territory on q level with reasonable rates in other sections.
 ''The rates used in our comparative statements are fair and reasonable. Wells. Fargo X Company operates under them and under much lower rates in large part Of it's territory. and the net corporate income of that company for the year ending June 30 1909. was l23 per cent of the total cost of real property and equip ment and 35.7 per cent of the op- eratinS revenues
 For the fiscal year ending June 30 1910. the net corporate incom" was ll3 per cent of the total cost of real property and 35.S per cent of the operating revenues.
 Tn addition to the dividends shown on the statement for. the year 1903 1910. a special dividend was declared i'm December, 1909. of 900 per cent on the capitalization of sS.oo0.00o. amounting to S24 4.00O.O0O from the ac- cumulated profits. and the capital stock was increased to $24,O0O,ooo.
 These figures were compiled from the annual reports Of Wells, farS" X Co. to the l. C. C.
 The testimony of the shippers who were present from other points in sup port of the contentious of the complaint related to the quantity and class of goods handled by express at their respective points, and the unjust charges to which they are subjected. Most of them testified that the charges are so exorbitant that the express company was only patroniZel where the character of the goods made it ab- solltelv necessary. As a result great deal of traffic is handled bv freight that with more reasonable rates would be shipped by express. As an instance of business lost to the express com panv MT. Mauk of Globe testified that on account Of the high express rates on the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern line. the farmers Of the G!la valley take their produce to Globe by team. and sell it cheaper than the merchants can afford to do when shipping it in by eN- press.
 The testimony of these witnesses closed the case for the complainant Captain Connel took the stand for the defendant and testified as to the in creased business in Phoenix during the last two years Assistant Traffic Man ager McKibben followed Captain Con neil He contended that the existing rates are just and reasonable. A mem Der of the commission, however. eN- pressed the belief that in the cross eX- animation of the witness by MT.

 ] De Pass's Theories. , Under direct and cross examination 1 Alr. De Pass testified that eNpres. rates should bear some relation tC 1 reasonable freight rates and that : under ordinary conditions an express 1 rate loo per cent higher than a req sonable freight rate would be satis- factory; that this basis would pro- duce fair revenue for the express company and would not divert freight business into express channels. The volume Of traffic, said tine witness. should not be factor in making express rates. ard in his opinion the same basis of rates should apply in sparsely settled dis tricts. where traffic is light, as in more densely populated districts where it is heavy
 In sparsely settled districts and Cn short lines or branch lines where the volume of traffic is small. the operat- ing expense of express companies are also relatively small and the ratio of expenses To revenues IS probably lower than the average for all traf- fife. In localities where the volume of traffic is light. the railway agent handles express. usually on com mission basis. the hagga geman on trains also handles express for which the express company pays part of his salary commensurate with the tonnage he handles. on through lines the shipments for local points and branch line points are handled by through express messengers at no ad- ditional expense, at small stations, no piclups pr delivery service is main tained. and even in large towns this service is only within very limited areas. the railway company fur nishes the cars: and the express com pany pays the railroads a certain percentage of its gross receipts for express privileges. so that cN- penses depend almost entirely on the volume of traffic handled. and the net profit on small business is propor- tionately as large as on large volume of traffic.
 The witness expressed the opinion that on mountainous roads where op- erating expenses are high the addi- tionaI expense is borne by the rail roads and not by the express com pany. which can therefore have no valid claims for higher rates.

locals A table of rates was introduced at this point To show that the factors used in these combinations are un- reasonably high Examples from the table are as follows:
 The rate from Portland. oregon. to Seattle, Washington, lS5 miles. is S125. and from Deming to Benson, l7G miles, S950
 The rate from Kansas City io Hack ney. Kansas. 272 miles, is S16o. and from Deming to Nogales. 264 miles, is $50
 There are many other examples Of equal disproportion shown in the table. Having demonstrated the mreason- ableneSs of the rates used as factors in making combinations. AIr. DcPasS next addressed himself to the though rates themselves He introduced sev- er;l tables showing the express rates from Kansas City. Denver. Fl Paso. Los Angeles and san Francisco. To Arizona points compared with the rates for like distances and under similar conditions in other sections. These comparisons showed the Ari- zona rates to be much high,r in every instance.
 The witness touched upon the eN- cNorbitant charges eNdcted for hand ling small packages under Jne eN- press company's system Of graduated charges. He showed that upon this class of business the charges are largely in excess of the base or loo- pound rate. that general special rats apply on actual weight of all ship ments subject to a minimum cha~-se of 35 cents and the application of the graduation charges on merchan- disc shipments subjects that descrp- ton of traffic to unreasonable prelu- dice and disadvantage. all of which is in violation of section "t the act to regulate commerce.
