ported Discrimin a ton

Because complaints have been made
that certain coal-carrying railroads have
established embargoes that resulted in
discrimination against shippers the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission has de-
cded to investigate the question of en-
hurgoes generally and the conditions un-
der which they are established. Ac-
cordingly, all the railroads of the coun-
try that carry coal will be made parties
to the inquiry, which will begin in Chi
caro on January co. 1915, and from which
the Commission hopes there will result
the establishment of a system of en-
barge regulations.
The order of the Commission covering
the inquiry follows:
"The subject of the rules, regulations
and practices of common carriers by rail
having been brought to the attention of
the Commission by informal complaints,
wherein 1t was alleged that certain coal
roads established cmbargoes which re-
suited in unjust discrimination against
shippers; and the Commission, as a con-
sequence, desiring to inform itself gem
orally as to the question of embargoes,
the conditions under which they are es-
tablishcd, and the manner in which no.
tice is given, with view to prescribing
reasonable regulations for such EN-.
bargoes.
"Gt is ordered, that Il proceeding of in
quiry and investigation be, and the same
is hereby instituted into and concerning
the subject of the rules, regulations and
practices of carriers in establishing em
Dargocs.
ut is further ordered, that all common
carriers by rail- subject to the act to
regulate commerce. be, and they are here
b. made parties respondent to this pro-
ceeding; that this proceeding be set for
hearings at such times and places as the
Commission hereafter shall designate
that the parties respondent be required
to appear and testify or to produce
books documents and papers as the Com
mission shall deem necessary"

poor suffered from indigestion for lack
of It. Native doctors accordingly
made salt a usual ingredient of their
medicine, and Livingstone successfully
gave sufferers teaspoonfuls of neat
salt. But now comes a notable point,
Either milk or meat had the same
effect, though not SO rapidly, as salt.
Long afterward, when | was myself de
prived OF salt for four months, at two
distinct periods, I felt no desire for
that condiment, but l was plagued by
very great longing for the above arti,
cles of food. This continued as long
as was confined to an exclusively
vegetable diet. and when l procured a

antly saltish as if slightly impregnated

New Cause for Divorce

Why is divorce? There's question
capable Of puzzling most Of US, don't
you think? Of course, some of us can
answer it in a single sentence or two.
More of us require large volumes to
contain full reply. And when we
get them written some one is sure to
supply fresh cause for divorce. Take
the case of that of a New York man
who is demanding the dissolution Of
the marriage tie because his wife put
soap in his soup. He has added some
what to the literature of divorce. And
be has revealed new form Of cruelty.
Soap as an article Of diet is not to be
highly regarded BY most persons it
is considered not only offensive but
dangerous. And, what is more, the
average man probably feels that he
eats enough soap in the barber shop
to satisfy his needs. Any added by
his wife is likely to be regarded as SUI
perfiuous and to arouse peevishness
that may not easily be stilied.
