Railroad Freight Associations in the
Eastern Section of the Country Are
Prepared to Fight to Secure Sub
stantial Increase.


For the first time in the history of
the state of Vermont the state has or
dered the immediate suspension of all
intra-statc freight rates, the public ser
vice commission yesterday, issuing an
order 10 all the roads in the state that
in accordance with their application
and that of various shippers the opera
tion of all tariffs and supplements of
tariffs providing for general ad-
vance in intra-state rates be suspend
ed and that the effective dates thereof
be postponed until March l., 1914.
Recently the roads operating in Yer
mont filed with the public service com
mission general advance in rates for
intra.state traffic which was to become
effective today and desiring Il hearing
on the matter Of advance followed with
an application 10 the public service
commission which application was re-
ceivcd with another application from
several large shippers that the rates be
suspended
The following roads in Vermont are
affected by the order: Boston 4 Maine,
Delaware & Hudson Railway company,
Montpelier & Wells River Railroad com
pany, Rutland Railroad company,
Grand Trunk Railway system, Cham
plain Transportation company and Cen
trail Vermont Railway company.
The intra-state tariffs and supple
mcnts thereto are found by the commits
sion to be in accordance with certain
interstate tariffs and supplements now
under suspension by order of 335 of the
interstate commerce commission until
March II, 1914.
This action on the part of the state
acting through the public service com
mission will probably arouse no small
amount Of interest in the future de
liberations of the interstate commits

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
end You Are Well and
Happy BY Morning

Tt is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen.
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
1t. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some Of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 1876 Riley ST., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-
bic. now eat anything l want, and

that they have tried most things rec

ways reliable. A bottle can be obtain

FEET DEMAND PROPER CARE

Women who spend hours caring for
their hands pay little attention to their
feet. They are such hardworked mem

shoes that fit. Never economic IN

and get footgear that is too small.
Frequent bathing keeps the feet
from being tired and swollen and 1t
prevents roughness of the skin that
leads to callous spots.

Never cut the nails too shGrt, as they
are more likely to become ingrown.

fered Some Good Ideas for Worthy
Reflection.

An official of one of the departments
at Washington says that while going
to his luncheon one afternoon he saw
military funeral passing down Penn
sylvania avenue AS the pageant
passed the official was standing on the
curb, hat in hand, and noting with in
terest the reversed arms, the flag
draped coffin, and the riderless horse
behind some one touched him on the
elbow and said: II hope you'll ex-
cuse me, boss, but would you min tell
in me whether the dead soldier was
anythin' to you?"
why, no. answered the official,
smiling in spite of himself. as he
turned and beheld a solemn looking
darby OF perhaps sixty years of age
Excuse me again, boss" continued
the negro, but you kinder looked that
sorry l thought mebbe he was some
thin to you"
He was a brave soldier" answered
the official
The darby said nothing FOR mo-
ment. Finally, with a sigh, he added:
Wouldn't it be gran, boss, mournin'
for man like that, s'posin' he was
somethin' to you?"

and is, perhaps, all things considered,
the most popular breed in this coun'
try at the present time
It's origin is commonly given as q
cross between the Black Java and the
American Dominique. Besides the
Java other Asiatic blood has probably
been used in making the breed.
The Plymouth Rock is more like
the Asiatic than like the European
chicken. 1t approaches in size and
fattening qualities the Cochin or
Brahma, but has lost the excessive
feathering, slowness of growth and
general clumsiness of those breeds.
The best recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the
excellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have
no superior The Plymouth Rock
pullets are good layers, but as year,
ling hens are prone to turn into fat
rather than eggs.
Another objection to the barred
variety is the difficulty in keeping the
breed true to the standard type. The
pure-bred type birds are required to
have even and distinct bars of the
same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to main
tain, and resort is often made TIC
double mating or the keeping of two
breeding pens, one to produce cock
erels and the other pullets.
The white and buff Plymouth Rocks
are later products than the barred
variety Much of what has been said
will apply to them c'so. The following
differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection of the barred type, but
the objection to the fattening tend
ency applies to hens of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the
barred.
Buff Plymouth Rocks will probably
average smaller than the other varie
ties of the breed. Although a solid
colored bird, they like all buff breeds
except the buff Cochins, will be found
difficult to breed to one color, owing
to the tendency to possess black OF
white in the wings and tail.

Silver, by the way. is a better metal
