over eleven years The two roads have
been severed under the receivership. Be
fore the receivership the Frisco failed In
an effort 10 sell half interest in the
road.
Mr. Yoakum explained the lumber deal
at length. BY this deal the Frisco ac-
qulred large interest in the Kirby Lum-
Der Company OF Texas. He said:

mergers. The Santa Fe and other roads
had carried out such deals successfully.

Several things combined TO prevent our
success II we had met success the re-
ownership never would have been neces-
sary."
When the Frisco bought the Chicago e.
Eastern Illinois other competitors were
trying TO get hold OF the property, Mr.
Yoakum testified Chicago & Eastern
Illinois stock at that time, Mr.. Yoakum
admitted, was not worth more than $50
a share, but the Frisco paid as high as
$3.50 for some OF the stock

YOAKUM FORGETS HIS
PROFITS IN BIG DEALS
Explains Reasons for Receiver
ship at Interstate Commits
sion Inquiry.

ST. Louis. Nov 1S.-The alleged partner
ship of officials Of the st. Louis san
Francisco Railroad in syndicates that pro-
NOTED small railroads, which later were
sold TO the Frisco, was inquired into at
the hearing before Edgar Il. Clark, Inter
state Commerce Commissioner, here to-
day as To the causes OF the receivership
of the line.
BENJAMIN +. Yoakum. chairman OF the
Frisco board of directors when the road
went into recevership, was the only Wit
ness. u. T.. Brown was examiner for the
commission.
Mr. Brown made public data showing
that in the ten years prior to the receiver
ship Frisco securities had been sold Tor
$50. 900 less than their par value.
The syndicates that built various SUD-
sidary lines were promoted by the 81
Louis Union Trust Company and In an
swer to many questions Mr.. Yoakum re-
ferred his interrogators to the records oil
tbe trust company. Among the subsidiary
lines concerning which questions were
asked were the St Louis Oklahoma
CITY, the Iberia e. Northern. the st. Louis
Oklahoma & Southern and the ST. Louis az
Gulf.
AS to the Iberia & Northern syndicate
Mr.. Yoakum testified he transferred his
interests I'm that road 10 the Frisco for
what It cost him plus per cent Interest
Can't Remember His Profits.
Mr.. Brown said that tho record showed
s2l2. 900 was paid to Yoakum. Mr.. foaKum
replied that If that were true II represent
ed no profit over the per cent Interest.
on several other roads Mr.. Yoakum could
not remember the profit. He said he had
an interest in the St Louis & Gulf. but
did not remember whether his profit was
S3s. 900. as Mr. Brown said the record IN
Dictated This record. as cited by Mr..
Brown. showed that Yoakum invested
$1,000 and received Su3o0o.
other syndicates concerning which Mr..
Brown Intercepted Mr. Noakum were
the Oklahoma city * Western. on which
according TO the records. a syndicate had
made 1859 900 on an investment OF E97Oco.
and the Arkansas Valley q Western. In
which a Frisco official without voice
I'm the acquisition OF new lines made
SO CO.. on a yllS.c0o investment.
II was stated that hfty-one men were
I'm the FIRST syndicate and siXty-one In the
second. on the 81. Louis. Oklahoma
Southern. according 20 the record quoted
by Brown. the promoters made $1,000.
Mr.. Yoakum gave his reasons for the
receiyershIp as follows:
J. The failure OF the road to sell Arizona
and New Mexico lands for 100000 or
100000 BY this deal the Frisco hoped
20 get enough money 10 meet pressing
obligations Mr.. Yoakum testified that
James Campbell. OF St Louis. n director
Of the Frisco and head OF the North
American Company. insisted on the land
as collateral for loan which the North

additional collateral was made. Mr.

TO 10000.

Clothing ethics.
There are only a few
makers of really high quality
clothing, and those Of us who
maintain a standard are under
constant pressure to lower it.
This comes both from retail
competition and the desire of
dealers, who use our product,
to be able to offer the gar
ments of a well-known brand
at popular prices.
The work of a lifetime in
building reputation may be
quickly destroyed by yielding
to the impulse to get the last
dollar out Of every trans
action.
We do not recall a time
when so much poor raiment
was being offered at retail in
New York City-some of it
under the guise of respectable
ity. Nor was there ever a
time when it was better policy
to stick to sound principles,
even at the cost of some i'm
mediate profit.

Thin Folks who i.
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
More.
A Physicians Advice.

"Pd certainly give most anything 10
be able TO fat up few pounds ana
stay that way" declares every ex-
cessively thin man or woman. Such
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
NAL nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy, normal amount OF
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating 4
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a scientific combination of six of
the best strength giving, fat-produc-
ing elements known to the medical
profession. Taken with meals it
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich. ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
anu It's idpio eieet 10 ieiiioi heipie- ~
ported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in single month are by
no means infrequent. Yet its action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. Sargol is sold by good
druggists everywhere and every
package contains guarantee of
weight increase or money back.
Charlottesville Sargol has pro-
1uced remarkable results in the treat
nent of nervous indigestion and gen.
eral stomach disorders, ii should not,
owing to its remarkable flesh pro-
ducing effect, be used by those who
are not willing to increase their
weight ten pounds or more.-Adv.

How to Keep Face
Young and attractive
National Hygienic Review

The way to ward off old age is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to be
oppressed by the dread of advancing
years. Use only legitimate preVen-
tives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. An entirely safe and
very effective way to keep the com
plexion young looking and beautiful is
10 apply ordinary mercolized wax at
bedtime, using it like cold cream.
washing it off in the morning. This
gradually absorbs the withered,, faded
cuticle, which is replaced by the more
youthful, pink-ti underskln. one
ounce of this wax, to be had at any
drug store, is enough to completely
rejuvenate a worn-out complexion.
Crows feet and other wrinkles, the
first signs of advancing age, may be
removed by simple, harmless prep
aration made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite in a half pint
witch hazel. II is used as face
bath.-AdY.
