This is honest advice for YOU who

There are a lot OF so-called "tonics"
on the market that do not depend for

fact that the alcohol in most of them

a dose IS taken After q while even
this effect ceases TO take place and the
unfortunate patient. worse off than he

EXPLAINS TARIFF
TO RAILROAD MEN
Responsibilities of Common Car
riers and Their Employees
Discussed Before Club.

Tariffs and the responsibility Of COM
mon carriers under them was the theme
of paper read last night by t. D.
Ilotchkiss. general freight agent of the
chesapeake and Ohio Railway. at the
monthly meeting OF the Richmond Rail
road Club at Murphy's Hotel. The his
tory of railroad freight tarifrs was
briefly touched upon, but the principal
question discussed was an interpre-
iation of the statutes now existing
The law said Mr. IIotchkiss,
charges every person with Il knowl-
edge of rates. This is a practical alb
surdity. but ii is. nevertheless the
foundation upon which the superstruc-
turc OF the Interstate act is built" - lie
went on To show how the present tariffs
were unintelligible and ambiguous. and
explained movement now on foot
which, it is expected. will accomplish
some practical Improvement in their
constructions
The paper closed with reference to
the strict observance of tariffs by those
charged to execute them There are
those of us he said who may think
the requirements of the law in this
respect are too inclastic, unreasonable
and unnecessary. hut. good or bad
right or wrong, the law in this respect
Is too binding and the responsibilities
and liabilities of the carrier too great
TO he jcopardi.cd by the unauthorized
and i-considcrcd acts by employees
charged with the duty Of enforcing
tariffs, however we'll meant"
Nearly seventy members Of tho club.
representing every department of rail
reading, were present. Before reading
his paper. MIR, iIotchlilss informed the
club that IL WAS due To tho efforts or
his assistant, y. +. Gilbert. that il was
prepared and that the credit should be
his.

at each placing Of the mould or form,
the wall is continued upward from
the bottom until the top is reached.
The form is moved upward rs rap
idly as the section which il last held
sets. A good mixture for this wall
will be made of about one part ce-
ment, two and one-half parts sand
and two and one-half parts of gravel
or broken stone. This mixture should
be made wet enough TO pour, and
must be tamped or stirred enough
after being placed in the mould to
insure driving out all air and closing
open spaces.
The top of the underground silo
should be constructed sufficiently
high above the surface to keep out
storm or flood waters. This cement

sidered finished until after ii has
been painted or washed with pure
