EXPRESS co. PAYS9
 Sl5,OoO,000 BONUS
Southern Pacific Also Received 10 Per Cent of Wells Fargo Co.
 Receipts,

Washington, March 6.-Interesting testimony as to stock ownership be- tween express companies and the railroads was brought out in the ln- vestigation by the 1ntersta'se' Con- merce Commission w. A .WorthinS ten, assistant director of mainte- nance and operation for the Union and Southern Pacific system, was questioned by Attorney Frank Lyon, the Commissions counsel, as to tine twenty-year contract between ehe Southern Pacific and the Wells Fas- go Company in 1893. Under MT Lyons questioning it developed Chat the express company was willing to pay the Southern Pacific 5 per cent of it's receipts but the railroad demanded and received 40 per cent and a bonus of 16,O00 shares of stock of par value of $1,600,000. Further questioning by MT. Lyon developed che fact that the Southern Pacific in the year past sold this stock to he American Express and he money obtained for it, together with tAe dividends the railroad has drawn, amounted to $16,000,000. at
 MT. Lyon stated this gave the rail- road company since 1893 60 per cen. of the express receipts of it's lines. The testimony showed that the Union Pacific gets approximately 55 per cont of the express company's re- ceipts, the American Express Com pany operating on the Union Pacific,
 MT. Wn. thington claimed sta:istlcS would show the railroads are not re- ceiving adequate compensation for the service rendered by them. He placed in the record statistics tend ing to show that the railroad com panies received substantially less for the, express matter in proportion to space occupied for the transportation of passengers and baggage. Hs said his figures showed that the railroads. received on an average or 21. .02 cents for each car mile of ex- press service compared with 26.O2 cents for each car mile of passenger and mail service combined. He also said that it was generally believed by railroad people that the passen- ger service did not bear its falr share of Ihe operating expenses of railroads
 James Peabody, statistician of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail- road. testified that express business on the Santa Fe was practically car ried at a loss. As indicate the in- crease in express which has accrued in recent years to the railroads. Ms' Peabody showed that the increase in wages on the Santa Fe system in 1911 over 1906, was $5, 116.369. He also stated that any reduction in express rates would have tendency to ln- crease the shipments on that class ol traffic, which traffic would be taken from the freight shipments, thus re- ducing the revenues of the railroad on one hand in the freight traffic and overlooking the passenger or express service on the other, this last consid- eration being of serious public con cern.

INVENTIONS AID LAZY MAN
One Device Opens Door and An.
other Gives Him Exercise in Bed
for Morning Constitutional

The lazy man is coming into his
own, remarks the New York Herald.
Two new inventions are designed es-
pecially to make Hfe's journey easier
for him. Thanks to these devices, he
may now do the paradoxical thing of
passing through a Closed door without
the eXertion of opening it and he may,
If he is so inclined. take his exercise
IN bed.
The self-opening door is the inven-
ton of c. Alter Of New York, and he
has had the device patented. 1t is
for use on doors IF stores or other
buildings and is arranged to permit a
person to open the door by stepping
on platform in front of It. The
opening and shutting process is con
trolled by peumatic pressure.
The continuance, according to Mr.
Alter, Is intended especially for the
use of persons carrying packages" or
otherwise incumbered." but he ad.
mtts that it will be equally as great
a boon to the man who is not incum.
Dered by anything save an antipathy
TO overexertion.
The device for taking exercise in
bed is foreign importation, coming
all the way from the University of
Iubingen. 1t consists of two arms or
pedals, to which reciprocating motion
Is given by an electric motor mount
ed on a wheeled carriage. The ped
ais are attached to the legs Of the per-
son in bed. Passive walking and
climbing movements are transmitted
TO the legs and the distribution Of the
blood circulation is altered. The cir.
culation Of the legs is increased, while
the arteries OF the arms contract in
compensation and the contractions Of
the heart are increased in volume.
The invention is intended for the
use of invalids, but it is said that 1t is
only a step from breakfast in he'd to
@ morning constitutional in the same
manner.

HIGHEST FLIGHT OF BALLOON

The unprecedented elevation Of 95 o.

SKINNED MILK Is VALUABLE
Most Important of All By-Products on
Dairy Farn-Especially Good
fer Young Animals.

Skinned milk is the most imr0r.
tant Of all the by-products on a farm
in the dairy line. It is worth from
Is cents to 81 a hundred pounds, ac-
cording to its quality and the use that
is made of it.
Hand separator skinned milk is OF
greater value and of greater use than
skinned milk obtained by any other
method. 1t gives better satisfaction
because the milk is uniform every day.
If properly fed, skinned milk can
not be surpassed as a food for young
animals. The greatest danger and
largest waste comes from overlooking,
especially young piss and calves.
When the calf is two weeks old, it's
feed may be gradually changed from
whole milk until only the skinned
milk is fed. Calves seem to thrive
better on the warm skinned milk
from the hand separator than on the
creamery, where the milk of several
hundred cows is mixed.
If the chickens are fed on skinned
milk and allowed a free range. they
will grow very fast In feeding milk
to chickens it is greater economy to
let the milk stand until it is thick.
SKINNED milk is very satisfactory
pig food. Pigs seem naturally in
clined to the sour rather than the
sweet milk, but in either case grain
must be fed in order to make bal.
anced ration.

THAT Not of Yourselves"

How shall we understand this state
ment? Surely God does not exercise
faith for us and then consider it some
thing on our part which He is willing
to reward The explanation is this:
Faith is possible only where It has a
basis Of knowledge. In proportion as
Divine providence grants us knowledge
Of Divine things it is possible for MS to
exercise faith proportionately And
our works in harmony with such faith
demonstrate the sincerity Of our faith
The same principle continues through
out this Christian Age Grace opens
the way for knowledge knowledge
paves the way for faith and begetting
Of the Holy Spirit. Then works to the
extent of opportunity should demon
strate the decree and quantity and
sincerity and loyalty Of the faith The
present Age is the test time for the
Church Perfect faith is possible to
be attained and mast be attained. if
we would have the highest blessing
God is now Offering And If we have
that highest faith God will see it in
our works and eudeavorS. however i'm
perfect they may appear TO others
