CLAIM RATES ON SEA
 FOOD ARE UNJUST

Montgomery. June n.-(Special)-If the Southern Express company is granted an injunction preventing the state railroad commission from enforcing rates on sea food products from Mobile. the schedule of rates set by the commission will be declared null and void. and the corpora tion can arrange it's own rates without consulting the state. This statement was given out today by Secretary Sam F. Kennedy of the railroad commission. The Express company alleges that Pensacola is not allowed the same rate as Mobile. and that one town is discriminated against in favor of the other. The com mission believes the Express company will make a general advance if perma- nent restraining order is granted. The case has grown out of the successful suit railroads have carried on against in creased transportation rates.

It Increases Their Efficiency and Conserves Their Health and Comfort In Ways No Other Pavement Gan

It is unquestionably true that the roar of traffic in some mod ern business streets seriously interferes with the efficiency and we'll being of professional and clerical workers in what are known as office buildings.
 Noise, dust, heat; impeded communication, both within and without; undue nerve strain; unsanitary condition. These and other handicaps and penalties imposed upon office workers are eliminated when the buildings in which they are located face upon streets laid with Creosoted Yellow Pine Bloeks-the noiseless, clean, cool pavement:
 Because this pavement being of wood is non-reverberating.
 Because it does not make dust there is nothing on its surface to grind into deadly powder.
 Because 1t is treated with heavy oil of creosote, not only the best wood preservative, but also one of the most powerful germicides known to science. Any impurity falling upon the surface of this pavement is at once deodorized.
 Because Creosoted Yellow Pine Blocks do not absorb or reflect heat.
 A better mental state in the office; a fuller use of the tele- phone; a deeper sense of health and comfort. In other words, more work with less waste of energy, and work done under the most favorable conditions all of this and more is as- sured to office workers by the Creosoted Yellow Pine Block pavement.
 Is 1t any wonder that build ings which face upon it are filled with satisfied tenants7 Is it surprising that progressive owners are complying with the just demands of their tenants by insisting on this pavement Now for concrete illustrations:
 1. In Atlanta, all of the sky scrapers, with one exception, are on streets paved with Creo- soted Yellow Pine Blocks.
 ?. J. A. Lewis, cashier of the National bank of Commerce, St. Louis, writes under date of May 6, 1912:
 "We had a striking illustra- ton of the benefits of wood block paving when Olive street was changed from granite to wood blocks. Our board of di- rectors meeting room is on the

 Pavement Does For Office Tenants

second floor Of our building, and when Broadway and Olive streets were both paved with granite blocks, the noise was so intense that we were compelled to keep all of our windows closed, even on the hottest sum- mer days. Now that the gran ite blocks on Broadway have been surfaced with asphaltum and the paving on Olive street changed to wood block, there is very little noise, and we keep the windows of our board room open most any time. ''
 3. Charles Hamilton, build ing manager of this bank, wrote a few days earlier:
 "We found it most difficult to interest prospective tenants in our lower floors during the time the street was paved with granite blocks because of the great noise. Since the paving was changed and the wooden blocks substituted, the condi- tion has changed materially, as now we can easily convince an applicant that the lower floors are as quiet as floors much higher up were formerly with the old pavement. We have no vacancies in one of our build ings and only about five in the other"
 4. R. A. Long, owner of the twelve-story office building in Kansas City, which bears his name, says:
 "The change (from granite to Creosoted Yellow Pine Blocks at the intersection of Walnut and 10th streets adja- cent to the building) has indeed been most wonderful in it's re- suits. My tenants are all de- lighted. Even up to the twelfth story the effect is very percep- tible-ro noise and no vibra- tion of the building, as former ly. It is worth a great deal more than it's cost to us. As 8 noise annihilator and a dust preventive, the Yellow Pine Creosoted Wood Block pave ment is certainly a success.
 We could fill columns with similar testimonials from own CTS and tenants; these four, however, are sufficient to prove our assertion that office ten ants should join with their landlords in demanding the silent, sanitary pavement, pos sible only to it's fullest extent when Creosoted Yellow Pine Wood Blocks are used.
