ECONOMY As "A VICE.

Much has been said since the
freight rate question was brought pc
fore the interstate commerce comnls-
sion concerning the wasteful metnoas
employed by the railroads. LOUIS ~
Rrandeis. one OF the attorneys for the
ahinpers. has declared that the rail-
roads could save millions by the adop-
tion of scientific methods In the man.
apement OF their properties. Some OF
the hiu railroad men limited to MT.
Rrandeis that they had valuable posi-
lions open at big salaries for any men
who could show them how to save mil
lions while conducting their business
on the plane demanded by the pres
ent conditions In the country: lhey
could not agree with him IN MS con
illusions that the railroads were need
lessly wasting millions. The SATURDAY
Evening Post, while not referring par
tioularly to the interchange OF compli-
ments between Mr.. Brandeis ana the
railroads. calls our attention to the
fact that there is always point where
the effort to prevent waste becomes
mere waste itself The Post explains
its nosition with these illustrations:
The American carpenters waste or
material. for example, shocks a Euro.
mean. Instead of piecing together three
three-foot scantling to get nine feet,
Ia saws a foot of a ten-foot length
and throws away the remnant. He
,oioht save considerable lumber, but
the time he used in doing it, at fifty
cents an hour, would cost more than
the lumber, and if you reduced his
wages 80 that his time would cost less
fhan the lumber, would that be any So
cial gain? The railroads could haul
freight at about half the present rates
and make profit if they handled all
1rejaht in the same way they do soft
coai. hut what would be the value of
twenty million tons of fruit and vege-
tahles wear II handled in coal cars
on coal-train time schedules?
/ There is sort Of waste that Is the
highest kind of eficiecy-wasting the
less valuable thing in order to save
the more valuable. Our carpenter s
lscrap.heap is bigger than the Hun
rarian's. but his children are better
off There is no virtue in the economy
that looks only to what may be saved.
we see no reason to believe that sort
Of economy is likely to become prev
alent vice in America, and we are right
clad Of it. The efficient mind easily rec
nnciles itself to waste, the correction
OF which would produce net loss.
A great many people share this opin-
ion that economy is not always vlr-
tue. It Is waste to tear down build
ings. but real economy sometimes
makes it necessary to do this in order
IN realize the full value of the land on
which these buildings stand. About the
only thing that we cannot under any
circumstances afford to waste is time.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
Prominent Doctors Best Prescrip-
tiOn Easily Mixed at Home.

This simple and harmless formula
has worked wonders for all who have
tried Il, quickly curing chronic and
acute rheumatism and back-ache.
From your druggist get one ounce OF
Toris compound Gin original sealed
package) and one ounce OF syrup Of
Sarsaparilla compound. Take these
two ingredients home and put them in
half pint of good whiskey. Shake
the bottle and take a tablespoonful
before each meal and at bedtime -
Good results come after the first few
doses. If your druggist does not
have Toris compound in stock he will
get It for you in a few hours from
his wholesale house. Don't be infiu-
enced to take a patent medicine in
stead OF this. Insist on having the
genuine Toris compound in the origi-
nal, one ounce, sealed yellow package.
This was published here last winter
and hundreds of the worst cases were
cured by il in a short time.
