Railroads not Hostile.

The railroads of the state are I'M
derstood to be in favor of a law as
above sketched, and will certainly Off
er no opposition.
The interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington has just ruled
that coal owners or other shippers
can sue railroads for speculative dam
ages caused by lack of car supply for
their daily needs, and this provision
is to be enacted into law in this state
if present indications are reliable
Public sentiment is said to be back of
the movement for a public service
commission law, and the governor,
in his proclamation for an extra SEES
sion of the legislature, mentioned a
public service commission as
among those measures he will recon-
mend for passage,
1t is the general belief of business
men that if the car shortage for the
coal mines can be remedied, West
Virginia's coal industry will flourish
and expand as never before. and that
the miners will greatly benefit also.

A conference was recently held in
which coal operators, railroad repre-
sentatiyes, business men of large in.
terests in the state and men influen.
tial in politics took part, in the mat
ter of securing good public service
commission law at the coming session
of the legislature.
1t was agreed that the coal indus
try, which Is about the most impor-
tant in West Virginia, would be vast
ly benefited by the creation of a pub
lie service commission that would
force the railroads to provide suffic-
lent coal cars at the mines at all
times. if the act should embody pro
visions to that effect
Frequently mines have to suspend
for week Or two at a time-in fact
mines are considered lucky in many
coal fields if they get Is average
working days in a month, because Of
shortage or irregularity in the supply
of cars. The miners also complain
that they don't get enough working
days in a month to more than offset
their. living expenses and this is be
lieved to be the main source of
trouble in the wage disputes between
operators and miners.
Nine operators have suits pending
before the interstate commerce com
mission asking relief from this condi-
ton stated above. But they will have
to wait year or two probably be
fore their cases are disposed of as the
commission is overloaded with bust

FATIGUE A FOE TO BEAUTY
Woman Who Would Retain Charm
Should Avoid Allowing Herself
to Be Victim of Overwork.

Over-fatigue is a foe to beauty.
Even if there were no lasting effects
from it, which there are, a wearied
look in womans face adds nothing
to her charm. Rather, ie Is as the ap-
pearance of faded flower compared
with that of fresh one. The muscles
and muscular tissues become grad
ually weak and show themselves with
particular perversity in ugly rings and
bags about the eyes, in a frightening
of the lines between the nose and
the mouth, and a general sagging.
Fatigue, too, has direct effect upon
the stomach muscles, causing them to
sag also, and become unable to work
properly, and this, in turn, reflects
upon the complexion, rendering it sal
low and eventually blotched. So,
say, avoid fatigue.
Rest whenever you can. Whatever
the routine Of your day may be, it is
possible for you to snatch moment.
or, at least. a second or two, here and
there, of complete relaxation. Take
long breath and relax, then go on
at tension if necessary, but it is rare
ly, very rarely, necessary, and there
is point to be made much Of. Re
sist tension.
Battle the tired face in cold water.
1t stimulates circulation, and brings
relief, at least to ones feelings, even
If its effect does not go very far be-
meath the surface. Hot water follow
ed by cold dash is also refreshing
AMI especially is to be recommended
to the woman of nervous tempera-
ment. A few drops of camphor in ice
water makes an excellent lotion for
the rejuvenation of the tired face
muscles, but it should be followed by
the application of a good face cream.
Remove the cream with dry, soft
cloth and behold, you feel like new
woman.

The feature of the skirt lifted by
means of few plaits is as universal
now as the train. On lovely afternoon
dress of black charmeuse the skirt was
thus lifted beneath three very large jet
buttons, and the fullness was looped
round towards the back in graceful
folds. The corsage of this gown had a
very elegant sailor collar of fine lace
and revers of the same in front, MAX
ing a charming little heart-shaped
