EXPRESS CONCERNS HARD HIT.
Blame the Parcel Post System for
Heavy Loss in Business.

Heavy Loss in Business.
WASHINGTON. April 3.-Express
companies have been hit hard by the
operation of the new parcel post sys-
tenn, according to statements submit
ted to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today by counsel for the COM
panies in their final arguments
against the reduction in express rates
proposed by the commission.
II was declared that the companies
have suffered a loss approximating
25 per cent in small package bust
Mesa loss which amounts to about
6 per cent. of the gross revenue.
Walker d. Hines asserted that for
the FIVE companies he represented
the Adams, American, United States,
Southern and Wells-Fargo-ap
ton of the proposed rates To present
business would reduce revenues
about S26,000,000 a year, or 5.S5 cents
on every dollars worth of business
done. Such a reduction in revenue,
he said, would be absolutely destruc-
tive.
He maintained, also, that the form
ula-made rates would disturb SER
lously business conditions in large
centres such as New York and Chicago
by forcing a readiustment of compe-
tive business.
\ B. F. Fairchild, of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. for the ex-
press shippers, attacked Mr. Hines
argument as purely theoretical and
hypothetical" and insisted that the
proposed rates would yield an ample
revenue to the express companies.
He maintained, also, that the present
allowances made by the express COM
panies to the railroads for transport
tation service we're excessive.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
IF YOUR BACK HURTS OR BLAD-
DER BoTHERs YOU, DRINK
LOTS OF WATER.

When you kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivity. The function of the kidneys
is to filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of WATERFOWL can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it NO
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keel
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder wha
became of your kidney trouble ant
backache.

Salts.

BlLLION-DOLLAR CATTLE-TICK.

In the Live Stock and Dairy" de-
partment of the current issue of Farm
and Fireside appears a report of the
ravages of the cattle-tick. In one
month during the past summer over
half a million cattle we're dipped for
ticks in three states-Alabama, Ten
nessee and Mississippi. One county
(Holmes, in Mississippi) maintains 1876
dipping baths. The cattle are all
dipped in the standard arsenical solu-
ton provided by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Following Is
an extract from the article which pre-
sents some interesting facts about
ticks.
The cattle-tick is little fellow, but
he makes his mark in the leather bust
ness and otherwise.
"a tick-free animal kept for beef or
dairy purposes is worth, as an initial
investment, seven dollars more than
one remaining infested; and when the
animal comes to the block there is an
additional difference of $1.26 in the
hide value.
The tick, in abstracting his bloody
banquet from his host, leaves pune
ture-marks in the hide, which when
converted into leather will not furnish
the popular chrome stock.
"Our great southern territory, in
Guiding the major portion of fifteen
states has been held back from its
rightful heritage of prosperity for gen
erations on account of the insidious
activity of the cattle-tick. A billion
dollars each decade will not measure
the loss that must be charged up tt
