Companies.
RATES BASED ON DISTANCE
Measure Introduced by Mr.. Gard

Z WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Gard.
ner OF Maine today introduced a bill un-
der which the government would take over
the properties Of express companies and
operate them as part Of the postal service,
extending the service TO the rural deIlv-
cry. The measure indicates the probable
cost OF taking over the properties as fol.
lows:
Real property, s4.sa2.ise; equipment,
E.asi. 4o6; material and supplies, ii3s, 40;
advance payments on contracts. 1855, 6ss
franchises, good will, etc. sloa7SH. a

panies shows other assets OF nearly sl5o.-

are not devoted TO express services and
that this property might be retained by
the corporations without lmpaIring its
value.
II Is proposed by the authors OF the
bill for the establishment OF the postal

service under the government shall b

KlUUvtD THIRTY PUUlDS
IN THIRTY DAYS
NEW DnUoLEss TREATMENT roR
TAT Folks Proves SUCCESSFUL

The truth OF the claim made by w, l..
Schmitz, OF Monteyide0. MINI, and DIR.
j. 7. Bright. of Covington. Kentucky. that
they reduced their weight thirty pounds
IN thirty days has been fully established.
The facts are proven by careful inyes-
tigatlon.
II has been shown that DR.. Bright OF
Coyington, KY, Is an eminent physician
with forty years practice TO his credit.
yet he was powerless with all his drugs
and medicines TO reduce his enormous
weight, and he was obliged to purchase
the Marjorie Hamilton drugless fat reduc-
Ing treatment In order to pull down his
enormous rolls Of fat.
W L schmltz, OF Montevideo, MINI.
was another astonishing case. where the
enormous amount of fat reduced by him
was disputed by some people until the
actual proofs were made.
Marjorie Hamilton, the famous Calendar
Girl OF Denver. now stands in lone dlstin-
rat reducing treatment without drugs.
without dieting, and with no medicine.
apparatuses or harmful exercises Her
treatment Is a God-send TO fat humanity,
and II Is said that nearly three hundred
women assistants are necessary to enable
her TO carry on her enormous business, in
Denver, which occupies one OF the largest
buildings IN that city.
1t Ii said that French actresses ana
court ladies Of Europe are In ecstacies
over the marvellous results OF this new
drugless treatment which enables the so
clsl set 70 keep down their ponderous
weight and reduce their forms TO beau
tiful proportions.
The new drugless treatment Of this IA
nous Calendar Girl Is enabling woman
kind to SO beautify their figures as to
bring to their feet the whole kingdom OF
man and every worldly Joy.
II Is evident that the Marjorie Hamilton
drugless treatment is destined 10 over
shadow all others, and competitors are
now appalled, with her stupendous sue
cess, and stand aghast In amazement
marveling at her woudrous skill.
Marjorie Hamilton absolutely controls
the fat market OF the world with her
drugless fat reducing treatment. which re-
duoed her own weight thirty-seyen pounds
In five weeks, and which has given her
the largest business OF its kind in the
world.
Miss Hamilton believes that honesty
does live and that progress is real, and
she is the first on earth to prove abso-
lutely that there Is a positive. simple
drugless treatment Of permanent fat re-
duction.
1t IS said that 2oo,oOo fat men and wo-
men IN all parts Of the world have written
to Marjorie Hamilton for her valuable
book, entitled Weight Reduction Without
Drugs which she sends free in her eager
ness TO benefit fat folks and to enable
them TO learn of her remarkable treat
ment 80 that they may remove their fat
and know the joy of form OF grace and
beauty.

that the announcement made by Theo-
dere Roosevelt was Of vastly more i'm
portance to the republican party than to
the democratic party.
II do not regard the announcement OF
Mr.. Roosevelt OF any Importance TO the
democratic party" he said. My only
objection to the announcement is that il
TO the public should like to know why
Mr.. Roosevelt should be called back into
the ring after he left it to give place
to Mr.. Taft. 1t would seem that Mr..
Taft has thrown the republican party
into political bankruptcy. and Mr.. Roose-
welt is being called back in an effort to
make good the mistakes Of the man he
selected as his successor.
surely Mr.. Taft could not have re-
ceived the nomination for the presidency
had II not been for Mr.. Roosevelt -four
years ago, and he could not have beer
elected had 1t not been for the help OF
Mr.. Roosevelt. However. the announce
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt's return to the
political ring will not prevent me con-
tinuing to make democratic speeches.
There is, in fact, much humor in the
situation for democrats. The republicans
have long watched with pleasure our in.
terfactional controversies, and now we
are watching with considerable interest
the troubles within their own ranks

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-The trust
platform Of Senator Cummins Of Iowa,
candidate for the republican nomination
for president. Is embodied in a bill when
Mr.. CummiHs introduced today, designed
to strengthen greatly the governments
antitrust powers.
The measure provides what is claimed
to be the first authority TO limit the size
Of corporations and to guard against I'M
fair or ruinous competition through pro-
tracted undeyselhng. II would put into
being q trades commission. into which
the present corporations bureau would be
merged with all its present powers. The
purpose in limiting corporations. 1t is
set forth, Is not to prevent operation OF
business in a big way with economy OF
production. but to limit them in the very
beginning In such way as TO leave room
at least for others of substantially the
same magnitude between which healthful
competition may be preserved. The law
would apply only to corporations capt.
