FOR OLD PEOPLE

Old people, to overcome the weak
ening, debilitating effects OF 1ncreas-
ing old age, often make a very sag
mistake in using so-caled "remedles
that contain alcohol and dangerous o,
habit forming drugs. Often this STUN
because it livens and brightens them
I'D a. little Just after taking a dosea
leads them to imagine that it Is doing
them good, when it isn't. Remedies
that rely for their sale on such deceit,
do harm, because the false excitement
of the nerves and heart leaves them
worse than they were before. ,
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is a cal
medicine - a splendid body. and

rnparable injury, not only to them, but
also to the people they serve, and we
have accordingly determined to bring
to the attention Of the commission in
the present case, evidence which we
believe will justify a reconsideration
Of the subject.
"Thc great network of railways COW
ering the entire territory earned dur
ing the year ending June. 80, $780,
said Mr.. Delano, 1898, 0O0, 900. and
during the yea ending June 80, 1913,
$275, 900, 600, or a gross increase of
about $4,000, 900; but in the former
year the operating expenses and tax
es were 1882, 600, 900, and in the latter
year, $227. 600, coo, or an increase in ex-
penses of about $45, 900, 900, resulting
in a decrease in net after
payment of taxes, of over SO, 200, 900,
and in net corporate revenue of more
than SIG. 600. 1000"
Mr.. Delano declared the figures for
the first two months Of the present
fiscal year were still less encouraging.
The evidence" said he, will show
that the lines in Central Freight asso-
CldllOl tIlIloly dIe confronted WlC1
the expenditure in the lear future of
millions Of dollars in the separation of
grades in various cities, on which thew
will receive no adequate return, and
many of the lines have not the credit
to raise this money. This circum =
stance, in view Of the present condi-
tons Of the roads. presents a serious
situation which calls for prompt relief.
"a 5 per cent increase in rates will
not be adequate to meet the demands
OF the territory. The rates In that
territory. both freight and passenger,
are the lowest rates prevailing in the
United States, and the interests of the
people of that rapidly growing and de-
veloping section Of the country, to say
nothing of the carriers, require, in the
near future, a readjustment of the
rates. both freight and passenger to
a basis which will enable that terri
tory to have good railroads and the
people to have efficient and adequate
service. and to progress measurably
with the other sections OF the coun-
try"

APPEAL FOR
RIGHT TO MAKE
HIGHER RATES

washington, D. G.. Nov. 25--Argu-
ing on behalf Of the Central Freight
association lines. which takes in lines
from Buffalo and Pittsburgh west to
st. Louis, Frederic A. Delano. of Chi
Cago, president OF the Wabash rail =
way, presented to the interstate com
merCe commission here today. the
claims of these railways to the right
to put into effect their tariffs increas =
ing by S per cent, their rate on com
modify and class f%reights. This in
creased tariff was filed with the com =
mission on Oct. 10, last, and was to
have become effective Nov. IS. last,
but vas suspended when the commits
sion agreed to reopen the s~O-called
1910 case.
In the 1910 case" said Mr.. Delano,
the commission reiterated u prinCi-
pie it has frequently applied in previ-
u cases involving the reasonable
ness Of competitive rates. which is
tersely stated in the following sem
tence taken from the Spokane case:
1--WE must, therefore, in fixing
rates, have regard not altogether TO
any n particular railroad, but to the
whole situation. and must consider
the effect of whatever order we make
upon all these DEFENDANTS
In applying this principle in the
1910 case, the commission held that
the Pennsylvania, New York Central
n Baltimore & Ohio systems were,
for the purpose Of measuring the rea-
condolences of rates, fairly typical of
the railroads in official classification
territory.
MIR. Willard, who preceded Mr.. De-
lano, has indicated in his statement
that the lines generally will offer EVIL
dence which will show that they are
now entitled, on the authority of that
ruling. to increase their rates.
That ruling was no doubt justified
by the evidence submitted in that
case, but we, who represent the Cen
trail Freight association lines, do not
believe the evidence in that case fully
developed the whole railroad situation
in the territory.
I'VE COncur in all that Mr.. Willard
las said and believe the evidence will
show that the systems I have men,
toned considered alone are entitled to
an increase in rates. but we are not

The Grand.

Before a large house at the Grand
theatre last evening the Grand Stock
Co.. scored a success in their play for
the first half Of the week, La Belle
Marie. The company put forth their
best efforts this week, Thanksgiving
week, and gave the audience a splen-
did play last evening.
La Belle Marie is in intensely
human play. 1t portrays the efforts Of
two brothers to each gain favor in
their fathers sight-one by foul
means. the other by fair. The brother
who really works in the interests Of
his father is banished by his father,
for whom he worked, through the lies
and deceits of his brother: In love
with a beautiful young girl, a friend of
the family's, they both try to win her
hand. La Belle Marie is a dual role,
in the first act the part being a coun-
try girl who is dragged to ruin by the
20 who remains at home with his
father, and in h last three acts, the
belle, who gets revenge.
Miss Ollie Eaton as Marie Dubois,
is one of the most able actors and
shows her ability in playing the dual
role. The parts of the brothers are
ably portrayed by Ward Cassidy and
Randolph Gray, while Miss Dorothy
Alair plays, in a charming manner,
the part Of Edith Mathews, with
whom the two brothers are both in
love.

THE THEATRES
The Orpheunn.

A Tunnel Sensation is probably one
OF the biggest and best feature acts
ever seen at the Orpheum theatre,
now playing. The feature is presented
by the Skating Rexos, who received
much applause at the performance last
evening on their skatorial novelty. The
Rex perform many wonderful feats
on roller skates and without a doubt
are the best in their line.
H~awthorne's Minstrel Maids in A
Night in Minstelsey, are the headline
attraction the first half Of the week.
The company consists Of seven people,
all of whom have good voices and
several new song hits to offer. The
scenery Is effective and their cos
tunes especially pretty, which adds
to the entertainment.
The Medoras, England's premier
versatile artists are indeed real artists
and their splendid work puts them in
first class vaudeville. Their song
numbers were good.
Playmates, presented by Curtis &
LaVan, is a good little act and they
received several encores. The aero
batic work is especially good.
Miss Billy Hodge scores g. big hit
this week in her song Annie Laurie.
Miss Hodge has a pleasing personality
and voice n her song number is fine.
This is Miss Hodges last week at the
Orpheum theatre and those who have
not heard her should take the oppor-
tunity to do so this week.

EARNINGS OF
RAILROADS ARE
NOT HIGH ENOUGH

Washington. Nov. 25.-That railroad
the increased cost Of operation, higher
taxes and wages and additions to
equipment necessary to meet COM
mercial demands Of the country, was
the contention to the interstate COM
merce commission by representatives
of the railroads arguing for g. general
increase of 5 per cent increase in
freight rates. The claim filed by rail-
roads operating east Of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers was upheld in a. preliminary
outline of the railroad situation by
Daniel Willard, president Of the
Baltimore & Ohio, representing for
the occasion the eastern roads and
Frederick A.. Delano, president of the
Wabash, on behalf Of the Central
Traffic association.
Statistics tending to ahow the cur
tailment Of earnings as compared
with costs were submitted by an ac-
counting committee composed Of c.. NJ.
Bunting, comptroller of the Pennsy-
lvania; w. C. Wishart, statistican CO
the New York Central lines; w. Fl.
Williams, third vice president Of the
Delaware & Hudson Co.; G. p. Craw-
ford, comptroller Of the Erie. and
George NJ. Shriver, second vice presi-
dent Of the Baltimore 81 Ohio.
President Willard asserted that rail-
roads In the territory concerned had
expended In property investments in
the last three years $685. 00, 900 and
that in the year 1918 the earnings were
$18,311,321 less thar, for the year 1910.
He argued that the 5 per cent in
crease applied for was not ais much
as the railroads were entitled to and

Commissioner Mundt introduced a re
solution that authorized Commissioner
Mann to secure an expert accountant
to check the outgoing auditor and
treasurer and establish uniform sys.

receive a salary Of not more than SO
