For red, rough, chapped and bleed.
ing hands, dry, assured, itching, burn
ing palms, and painful ~1nger-ends,

cura treatment works wonders. Di-
rections: Soak the hands, on retir.

Dry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment,
and wear soft bandages or old, loose
gloves during the night. These pure,
sweet and gentle emollients preserve

those whose occupations tend to in

Snapshot Of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the

There was a dramatic silence.

the wife and mother firmly. 81 don't

I'll send Johnnie to the grocer's. It's
just across the street, you know. He's

firmly, 81 will 60"
But the wife flung herself on his
breast as he took down his hat.

can't be spared. l will 60"
He caught her by the arms.

They all listened.

the wife and mother.
Gimme jelly" cried the child.
So they sat down and ate their but
terless supper.
And all this happened because they
lived in the City of Mexico, and the
rival factions were using the streets
for gun practice.

PARCEL POST CUT
EXPRESS PROFIT
Five Big Companies Plead Loss,
es to Escape Lower Rates
Sc, 600, 900 LESS REVENUE
Tell Interstate Commission Proposed
New Schedule Will Cause Loss of
$26,ooo,ooo a Year-HaIf Will
Be Borne by the Railroads.

Washington.-Five of the big ex.
brief filed jointly with the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the COM
missions investigation of express
rates, practices, accounts and reven-
ues, used the parcel post as a leading
argument against the schedule of
rates proposed by the commission
being put into effect.
They declared that the new SEIZED
ule would result in a loss of revenue
of approximately $26, 900 900 a year,
the amount divided about equally be-
tween the railroads and express COM
panies, and that under the existing
rates the parcel post will cause them
a loss of about S. 900, 600 of revenue.
Just how much greater this loss
would be under the proposed schedule
of Federal control the express car
riers were unable to say, but predict
ed that it would be several times
$4,000, 900.
Exceptions were taken to several
points of his argument by Benjamin
Fairchild of New York and others.
Mr.. F%airchild represented the Mer-
chants Association of New York, the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, Chica-
go Board of Trade, and the Express
Rates Conference, which includes
about 200 shippers in other parts of
the country.
MI. Hines in his argument declared
the commissioners plan for an adjust,
ment of rates by blocks or zones,
somewhat on the lines of the zones for
parcel post, if in force for the last
fiscal year, would have caused his five
companies a loss of $40, 000, 900. He
said the business of one sample day,
October % last, indicated that the
yearly loss would be as high as $780,
900,
He said that with the establishment
of the parcel post the Government
was become a common carrier, and the
result would prove disastrous to the
carriers who had built up their service
at great cost and had always hereto
fore served the people.
He added that with the parcel post
in effect the business of the express
companies during February was 16
per cent. less than during February,
1912, that during the first week of
March in comparison with the same
period last year the Adams Express
Co. had experienced a decrease of
28.6 per cent. in business and 25.9 in
revenue, and the American Express
Co. had experienced a decrease of 29
per cent. in business and 26.5 per cent.
in revenue-all traceable to the par
eel post.
He declared the express companies
cannot reduce their plants or adjust
their business to- meet the Government
delivery prices, particularly with the
parcel post applying to the rural dis
tricts.
