AUTO TURNS TURTLE.
Two Men Killed on Beach at Jackson.
vile, Fla.


vile, Fla.
In an automobile accident on the
Atlantic boulevard, Harry Stahl, Il
years of age, was instantly killed and
Joseph b. Sloan, of the Sloan and
Mason automobile firm of Jackson
vile was so badly injured that ne
died few hours later at a hospital.
Sloan, with Stahl as companion,
went to the beach to witness a life
saving exhibition and on returning at
a fast rate of speed, turned out in Or
der to pass car driven by George
W. Haynes, who was accompanied by
his family.
In turning out the wheels struck
soft earth, the car swerved, the right
front wheel striking the big car,
which caused Sloan's car to turn tur-
tie, catching Stahl underneath. Sloan
was thrown several feet, his skull be-
ing fractured, his shoulder broken and
he was internally injured.

Legislative Committee Should Inspect
State Institutions Prior to
Session of Legislature.
Heretofore it has been the policy
of the legislature to designate COM
mittees composed of a considerable
number of the house and the senate
to visit the institutions for higher
education, the hospital for the insane,
the deaf and dumb institute, the con-
Wet camps, the state reform school,
and the drainage operations, during
the session of the Legislature, and re-
port thereon while the body is in ses-
sion. This plan for having these insti-
buttons inspected by committees from
the legislature takes a considerable
number of the members away from
the daily sessions, and also on account
of the desire of the committee to
return to the regular legislative work,
gives bat limited time for making
the Inspections.
1t is my opinion that some plan
should be devised whereby these COM
mittees could be designated prior to
the converting of the legislature, so
that they may make their visits and
Inspections prior to the session, and
be ready to make a report when the
Legislature meets.
Require Officers TO Pay Over Public
Funds Promptly.

mission fully TO accomplish such pEr-
poses unless empowered by law to
enforce its recommendations. Further
more. the commission should be au-
thorised to conduct independent in
vestigations with respect TO all mat
tiers affecting the safety of railway
travel, the object being to prevent &C
cidents as far as possible rather than,
as at present, merely TO point out the
causes of accidents after their oc-
currence. There is particular need
for an investigation OF the conditions
surrounding the use OF steel rails and
car wheels upon railroads"
Among the important recommends
tions for new legislation are the fol-
lowing:
That one period be fixed for the be
ginning of all actions relating to
transportation charges and that that
period be within three years from the
completion of the service as to which
damages are claimed.
That a carrier which fails to de-
mand payment of charges for any
transportation service within period
of 80 days shall be deemed guilty of
giving a rebate to the shipper.
That all suits brought to enforce or
set aside orders of the commission be
directly under the supervision of the
commission, instead of, as now, under
the direction of the department of
Justice; and that the commission be
charged primarily with the duty of
presenting such cases in court sub
ject to the right of the department of
justice or private individuals to inter
yene to protect public or private inter
ests.
That the commission be authorized
to make orders, after investigation,
respecting the construction and main
tainance of the physical properties of
railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce and rules and regulations per
tanning to the use and operation of
such properties.
That the commission be given con-
troi and supervision over railway
capitalization.
That, further to miLimi2e the dan
ger of accidents, the commission be
empowered Ito require the use of
block systems and TO require the
adoption and use of steel or Steel

commission to examine all books and
papers Of common carriers subject to
the law.
That the commission be relieved
of all duties under the parcel post
law. "or that such duties and the
standard TO be applied be more clearly
stated"
The report gives some considera-
ton to the law providing for physical
valuation of railways. Up to the
present time it has not been possible
to do more than prepare an outline
OF the plans for the great task of valu-
ing American railroad property.
The report shows that the work of
the commission increased tremend-
ously in volume. Scores of violations
OF the law by both carriers and ship
pers were investigated. In this con-
nection the report says that the
false billing of freight by shippers
continues" II is pointed out that

ton of the congress, with the sugges-
ton that these man failures indicate
the necessity for the development
and perfection of some system OF
automatic train control TO be used in
connection with existing signal sys-
tens.
High speed was an important cen
tributiug cause Of several serious &C
cidents during the past year. On
many roads there is no limit to the
speed at which passenger trains are
allowed TO run. Enginemen are thus
encouraged to run their trains at ex-
cessive speed in an effort to make
up time lost on schedules that are in
many cases already sufficiently fast
for safety Such high speed is espe-
ciaIly dangerous IN times of fog or
storm. when signals can be seen but
comparatively short distance. The
maximum allowable speed of trains
on all roads should be established at
a safe limit, and il should not be left
entirely to the judgment of engine
men to determine whether or not this
limit is exceeded.
"Inasmuch as the only purpose of
investigation, the report continues,
lis to learn the true causes of acct
dents. so that such causes may be
eliminated as fully as practicable, it
is manifestly impossible for the COM

serious abuses of transit privileges by
both carriers and shippers constitute
a continuing evil. remedy for which
is being worked out by the commits
sion. Failure on the part of carriers
to collect from shippers certain de-
murrage charges was made the sub
ject of many investigations. because
this is regarded by the commission as
one of the most insidious forms of re-
batting. Stress also is laid upon viola
tions of the anti-pass law, but the re-
port indicates that these are becom-

Why was the grippe taken out? Be-
cause Doctors, Druggists and Cheni-
lists knew that a fortune awaited the
man able to remove this most OBJ
jectionabIe action of Podophyllin.
Only a few years ago, 20 or 80,
Calomel and Podophyllin was the
favorite prescription of everybody
for an inactive liver. Calomel (mer-
cury) and it's dangers proved its
own undoing. Podophyllin fell into
disuse because Of the intense grip
ing that accompanied its work and
the deathIy sickness that followed
its wake. The public fought it's use
on this account. 1t was safe and
never failed to relieve the damned
I'D Bile in the Liver but because OF
its ferocious action, was prescribed
only in desperate cases and then
after all the gentle methods had
failed.
Some of the old-fashioned Doctors
who believed in getting results re-
gardless of the patients feelings con-
tinued it's use and it is now used
by them and by some others as
last resort.
Bent on that fortune so freely
predicted for the discoverer of a
painless and sickless Podophyllin,
every Chemist was busy trying TO
take out the grippe and nausea. or
course it was accomplished and now
is offered TO the world under the
name OF PoDoLax.
PoDoLax is offered to you as
preventive medicine because its best
results is from small doses at the
beginning of the trouble.
