WILSON ASKS PUBLIC
TO SUPPORT ROADS
SAYS PROSPERITY OF RAIL LINES
MEANS PROSPERITY FOR
COUNTRY i

Washington, Sept. 10.-President
Wilson has acceeded to the request of
the railway executives who asked him
to "call the attention of the country
to the pressing necessity for support
of railway credits by the cooperative
and sympathetic support of the public
and all governmental authorities
Today he sent a letter to Chairman
Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake
and Ohio board, pointing out that a
great measure of the nations prosper
lty is dependent upon the condition
of the railroads. The president, how
ever, is understood to take the posi-
ton that it would be improper for him
to seek to influence the interstate
commerce commission on questions of
rate increases. The president believes
the roads are basically sound.
President Wilson's letter to Mr..
Tlumbull was as follows:
Since you read it to me yesterday
I have read again the statement you
made on behalf of the commission of
railroad presidents whom had the
pleasure of meeting and comforting
with at my Office. 1t is a lucid state
ment of plain truths.
You asked me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railroad credits be sustained and
the railroads helped IN every possible
way, whether by private cooperation
effort or by the action, whenever fea-
sible, of governmental agencies; and
I am glad to do so, because I think the
need very real.
II cannot say that l entertain any
deep anxiety about the matter, except,
of course the general anxiety caused
by the unprecedented situation of the
money markets of the world-because
the interest of the producer, the ship
per and the merchant, the inventor,
the financier, and the whole public in
the proper maintenance and complete
efficiency of the railways is too mani
fest They are indispensable to our
hole economic life, and railway sue
! cesses are at the very heart Of most
investments, large and small, public
and private, be they individuals or
institutions. l am confident that there
will be active and earnest cooperation
in this matter, perhaps the one COM
mon interest of our whole industrial
life. Undoubtedly, men both in and
out of official position will appreciate
what is involved and lend their aid
heartily wherever it is possible for
them to Iendqit.
But the emergency is in fact ex-
traordinary and where there is mani
fest common interest we ought all
of us to speak out in its behalf, and
| am glad to join you in calling atten
tion to it. This is time for all to
stand together in united effort to com
prehend every interest and serve and
sustain it in every legitimate way.
"The laws must speak plainly and
effectively against whatever is wrong
or against the public interest, and
these laws must be observed; for the
rest and within the sphere of legiti
innate enterprise, we must all stand
las one to see justice done and all fail
assistance rendered and rendered un
grudgingly.
. Cordially and sincerely yours.

KITCHEN MOTTO is NEW IDEA
Not at All a Bad One, With Its sus-
gestion Of Constant Cheer and
Encouragement.

Something a little unusual as a
kitchen help found its way to one
woman's kltchen-a framed copy Of
one of Robert Louis Stevenson's
prayers. THE petty round Of irritat-
ing concerns and duties" to which he
referred, seemed to her particularly
appropriate phrase for the domestic
routine. His petition for help to per-
form them with laughter and kind
faces" is a good tonic with which to
roll up ones sleeves and plunge In
"Give US to go blithely on our busi-
ness" prayed the brave poet, stricken
as he was with mortal disease; and
the housekeeper echoes the prayer,
however weary she may be. This idea
is worth initiating. Stationers and
art dealers furnish an attractive se-
lection which find their way into many
offices and homes. The fashion OF In
Producing them into kitchens might be
followed with advantage.

Greene, "and believe that 1t is bet

Queer Enollsh DUTY.

Americans will be interested to
know that from 1860 1t has been GUS
tomary to take duty as one of the
hereditary customs of the crown. In
1860 there was a duty of eight pence
a gallon on all the tea liquor sold in
all coffee houses-a great inconveni-
ence to tea drinkers, because 1t was
surveyed only twice day by the ex-
else officers, and so could only be
brewed twice day.-London Mail.

JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT
Three Kitchen Hints That Are Worth
Being Turned Over In Mind Of
Housewife.

Try the following recipe for stuffed
breakfast rolls If you wish something
out of the ordinary: Take a roll for
each person and remove every parti-
Gle of the inside. A cupful OF cold
minced poultry or veal should be In
readiness, with which may be mixed
a trifle of chopped ham to give high
er seasoning. After melting a little
butter in stewpan stir in dessert
spoonful of flour and add a gill OF
milk or cream with the minced meat.
Stir well until it is very hot. Fill the
rolls, close them and place them in
a warm oven for couple Of minutes,
then garnish with parsley and serve.
A delicious prune pudding can be
made In the following way: Get the
large California prunes known as sill
verskins; soak them over night; in
the morning cook them in very little
water for about FIVE minutes, SO that
they can be stoned easily. Chop one
cup of suet very fine; add cup OF
molasses, teaspoonful Of mixed spice,
one of salt, cupful of milk and three
and half cupfuls of -four, into which
has been sifted one teaspoonful OF
baking soda. Cut the prunes In small
pieces and pour all together, transfer
ring the ingredients into buttered
mold, filling 1t about three-quarters
full Set in pot of boiling water
and let it boil uninterruptedly for four
hours. Whatever is left Of the pud-
ding can be served again II cut In
slices and fried brown in butter.
Veal outlets when properly broiled
are very much better than when fried
in the usual manner Season we'll two
pounds of the meat and half an hour
before serving broil quickly and thor
oughly. A pan with a tightly fitted
cover should be in readiness In the
oven, into which a cup of hot water
and a piece of butter about the size
of an egg should be paured. Lay the
outlets in this and cover 1t up closely
so that they will remain very hot I'M
til carried to the table.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way out7

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago l was a great cof-
fee drinker and from its use l be-
came so nervous l could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan consulted declared my trou-
bles we're due to coffee.
But being 80 welded to the bev-
erage l did not see how / could do
without 1t, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
ION visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that 1t was harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
l was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so went back
to the old habit as soon as l got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck OF me.
II heard of Postum and decided to
try 1t. l did not like 1t at first, be-
cause, as l afterwards discovered, 1t
was not made properly. found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, 1t was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex.
perience."

A Doctors First
Question Is
"How are your BoweLSf" A SIM
pie Remedy thar Guarantees
Good Bowel Action.

Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond its time without vi

nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and sleep

do, and that is to remove the trouble;
