According TO CHARLES A. PRoUrY,
who has charge Of the work Of max
ing a physical valuation Of the railways
for the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the most important practical
question before the country Is the
treat ment of the railroads. Then Mr.
PRoU1Y, who was himself chairman Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
not long ago. goes on to illustrate just
how impractical the bureaucratic mind
can be in suggesting a practical answer
to a practical question.
Addressing the National Association
Of Railway Commissioners Mr. PsourY
said the other day.
Tn ths past rates have beer sufficient
to maintain railroad credit: but Il is
evident that the time 10 near at hand. II
IL is not already hsre. when grave doubt
exists as to whether these rates must not

Interstate Commerce Commiss after
Its fashion Is presume bly, trying to hnd
sons for refusing. Mr.. PRouTY very
impractically postpones an official de-
termination Of the necessity until II
would certainly be too late TO do rail-
road credit any good. II the carriers

Mr.. PnourY Is engaged In directing

cial sponge. Mr.. PRoUrY himself does
not expect valustio TO be completed
before the middle Of the year 1910.
The railroads never are but always

latora
In general the effect of Government
regulation Of the railroads has been
TO bring them TO the verge Of a refusal
OF further support by private capital
because the investor Is not satisfied
with the protection afforded to his
property under regime OF Govern
ment supervision which all but amount:

To Its dismay commission govern

In the United States and the sur
prising truth is that most cases are
preventable with timely, intelligent
treatment.
These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over
work or any other drains upon
strength, SCOTS Emulsion should
be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only
in weakened system.
The tested and proven value of
SCOTS Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assi1nilates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
DEMONSTRATING blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in t1ber-
culosis camps because of it's rare
