EXPRESS RATES TO Be REDUCED
HEAVY REDUCTIONS MADE BY
ORDER or COMMISSION.
Effective February I, and VIII Be Be-
low Parcels Post-Mileage
Basis Abandoned.

Houston, Tex.-Some rates cheaper
than those of the parcel post-fates
that shippers asked for years ago,
rates that were finally established be-
cause of the emphatic order of the
interstate commerce commissioners
quoted by all express companies OPP
Grating in the United States in new
tariffs just issued, and which become
effective Feb. /.
+ They are approximately II per cent
lower than rates now maintained, and
in many instances of long shipments
are much lower than the parcel post
rates, the difference in some cases
being as much as per cent in favor
Of the express companies. The rates
apply only on interstate shipments.
The new tariffs were received in
Texas Saturday, and express company
officials at once began the work of ia
miliarizing themselves with the new
costs.
Under the ruling Of the interstate
commerce commission, promulgated
soon after the hearing on the matter
OF express rates conducted before that
court about twelve months ago, the
system of making rates also is
changed, the former mileage basis of
rate making being abandoned and the
country being divided into number
of blocks" similar in effect to the
parcel post rate zones This has the
effect of simplifying the tariffs, for
there are now but 294 rate quotations
from each district, whereas under the
old system specific rate was quoted
to each city, town and hamlet in the
United States.
Each block ID about fifteen or TWEEN
ty miles square, it is explained by ex-
press company officials. There may
be a large number of shipping points
in each block. %
The rates apply to first-class and
commodity shipments. AS these two
classes include practically all the bust
ness handled by the express com
panies, all shippers will receive the
benefits Of the new tariffs.
There is likelihood also, stated
prominent express official Saturday,
that these reductions soon may be ex.
tended to apply to shipments between
points In Texas, because of the recog-
nized attitude of the Texas railroad
commission in applying locally impor-
tant decisions of the interstate CON-
merce commission, and it is believed
the Texas supervisors may take the
matter up and order express COM
panies operating in this8state to ad.
just their rates on the same basis as
interstate shipments

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need q Mild
o Laa0tiUe to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

As a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
lions of the bowels are Of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas c6nstipating many.
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, Is DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, SO mild that 1t Is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective IN the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of tendency
to constipation give a small dose Of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and

CITY GETS NEW SHIP LINE
Hubbard-zemurray Company Moves
From Mobile to New Orleans.

New Orleans.-Mobile has lost the
Hubbard-Zemurray Steamship Com
pany to New Orleans. This announce,
ment was made by an official of the
company at Mobile. Company offices
and headquarters will be moved to
New Orleans, after which Mobile will
get boat month to and from Puerto
Cortez, Honduras, instead of one a
week, as at present. Three of the four
steamers now in trade between that
port and the Honduran port will come
to New Orleans.
1t is denied that the Hubbard-Ze-
murray Company has been absorbed
by the United Fruit Company. It is
said that the move is made because
New Orleans and Louisiana capital
control the company. The removal
means, however, that Mobile loses
more than 100000 year to New Or
