commission when this question comes be- fore that body.
 MT. Plosser said: The national demur- rage rules were drafted about five years ago at a national assemblage of all the railroad commissions of the country in joint conference with the interstate com merce commission. These rules were the result of expert knowledge of the sub ieet being handled; they were submitted 40 the railroads of the country, and were adopted by them. MT Henderson. presi- dent of the Alabama railroad eomms- sion, was member of the body of men which drafted these rules.
 But we now have in force In many parts of the country a set of state rules on demurrage and the two are constant ly conflicting. The railroads, the shipper and the consignee and every one con cerned will be benefited by the abolish- ment of the state rules by the railroad commission and giving us uniform rates by using the national rules. This Is what we are working for and what we hope Che commission will do at their meeting in Montgomery next month";

HENSON RETURNS
 VERY OPTIMISTIC
Spends Three Weeks in New York and Finds Great
 Business Activity

Robert Jemison. Jr has returned from New York. after an absence of three weeks.
 'T am more optimistic than ever.' said MT Jemison yesterday. 'I mot many prominent business men in New York. and everyone expressed himself Tn optimistic terms. Not only Is thero great buslness activity in every part Of the country. but the consensus of opin- ion Is that this high degree of pros perity we are now enjoying has come to stay.
 No such satisfactory business condi- tions on the eve of a presidential cam paign can be recalled as We see in evil dence today. The very fact that polit- teal agitation does not retard in any way the march of progress is certainly reassuring. Business here in Birming- ham grows better and better, and the future has great things in store for us"

BEAUTY DOCTOR
KILLED PATIENT
Left Her Face Raw After First
Treatment and Second Time
Finished Her.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Feb 2S-A chemical
examination was being made today of
the beauty lotion which, applied
yesterday to the face of Mrs. Laura
Williams a widow recently arrived
here from Texas, caused her death.
The police were also searching for the
beauty doctor" who had promised
Mrs. Williams that she would be made
as beautiful as when she was young
girl and who applied the medicine
that caused death.
Mrs. Williams, who lived with her
young son and daughter in the Bronx
had her first treatment last Monday.
Her face was left raw and bleeding.
Yesterday the doctor returned, explain
ed that everything was going nicely,
and applied second treatment The
doctor had about finished when
Mrs. Williams collapsed and half an
hour later died. Meanwhile the doc
tor had disappeared. The coroner
believes that powerful astringenr
poison was used and has ordered an
autopsy.

FINANCIAL REPORT
OF SHORT FORCE
Total Expense over $1,1oo, Showing a
Loss Of But Thirteen Dollars and
Twenty-Five Cents.

According to the final financial
statement of the officials of the South
eastern Iowa Short Course Association,
made recently, the short course con-
Quoted last December was at an
expense OF little over eleven hundred
dollars. The expenses exceed the as
sets by 1925, deficiency which was
made UP by a collection from the
course officials.
Considering the benefits which I'M
doubtedly resulted from the holding
of the course and the appreciation
which the students have unhestitaing-
ly expressed, the report is indeed a
flattering one. According to the state
ments of the Ames people the sec
ond course in the same city is nearly
always conducted at considerable
loss, hence those who conducted the
course may feel fortunate in
being able to get out with only a
slight balance on the wrong side
Fort Madison has had its second
course and cannot present claim for
another year. There was talk of Keo-
kuk asking for the course for 1912 but
as yet the city has advanced no
invitation. Some Of the enterprisins

Try Olive Tablcts-the Substitute
For Calomel.


DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
one substitute for dangerous calomel
They do all of calomel's work with,
out any of its bad after effects.
There is no necessity, when you
take Olive Tablets, of following them
UP with nasty, sickening, gripping salts
or castor oil, as you should after TAX
ing calomel.
Olive Tablets do not contain Gallo
mel or any other metallic drugs; they
are a purely vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil, sugar-coated
easy to take, and never grippe or
cause weakness.
Thousands of people take one every
night at bedtime just to prevent dis
order of the liver. constipation, bad
breath, pimples. headache, etc.
Olive Tablets are made of pure
vegetable compounds mixed with olive
oil.
DR.. Edwards, calomel's old enemy
discovered the formula for Olive Tab
lets after seventeen years of practice
among patients afflicted with livel
