Railroad Sympathy Plea
Not Sustained By Facts.

The big eastern trunk lines have
proposed an increase in freight rates
approxinating five per cent.
The reason given, backed by g
strong plea for sympathy. is that in
creased cost of labor on the one hand
and the restrictions imposed by the
Interstate commerce commission on
the other have made the railroad bust
ness Improbable and revenues are not
keeping pace with expenses of main
tenance and operation.
The reason is a plausible one and
the sympathy plea has excited consid-
cradle support in special interest cir
cles.
But what do the facts show? The
annual statements published by the
trunk lines do not indicate that any
Of them are on the verge of bank
ruptcy. The Reading shows % per
! cent profit. The Burlington follows
with a IT. IS per cent profit, the best
report In its history. The B & O.,
the Delaware and Hudson, and the
IIaclrawanna routes all show profits
quite or nearly as great. None of the
great systems indicate any lack of
business or profits.
The truth of the matter is that were
the water all squeezed out of the
railroad capitalization the business
, would probably justify a reduction in
rates rather than an increase.
And yet we find newspapers and
men who never give a thought to
the privations of the individual man
who now suffers because Of the in
creased cost of living, making strenu-
Fous appeals in favor of this five per
cent increase in freight rates the re-
suit of which would make the cost of
living still higher and the profits of
the railroad corporations even great
err.
It's n queer world we live in any
way. The Interstate commerce COM
mission is hardly likely to be infiu-
enced by the sympathy cry and par
ticu1zrly in view of the facts them
selves.

Mothers Advice
To Her Daughter
a Real Live Doll to FondIe Is Woman
Greatest Happiness.

One Of the most important matters abeut
which women concern themselves Is theiE
future status as a grandmother. And she
is wisdom itself who knows Of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mothers Friend.
This is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. 1t GER
tainIy has a wonderful influence, allays all
fear, banishes all pain, is most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her TO go through the
period happy in mind, free in body and
thus destined to anticipate woman'S great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive to ex-
pansion. Thus ali strain and tension upon
the nerves and Iigaments is avoided. and,
in place of a period of discomfort and con-
sequent dread 1t is a season Of calm repose
and joyful expecta ton.
There is no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitchinS, none of that
constant strain known to so many women,
hence Mothers Friend is really one of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
had of any druggist at $1.o0 a bottle, and
is sure to prove Of inestimable value, not
only upon the mother, but upon the health
ana future OF the child. Write to Bradfield
Regulator Co., 1872 Lamar Bldg. Atlanta,
Ga. for their book to expectant mothers.

Japanese and Philippine coasts, has
