Lumbermen Complain.

The Pioneer Cooperage company Of
st. Louis and the Himmerberger-Har-
rison Lumber company Of Cape Girar-
deau, in a complaint filed before the
public service commission, quoted
Webster's dictionary in opposition to
alleged unlawful rates which the
Iron Mountain and Frisco railroads
are charging for the transportation Of
slaves and headings. The companies
contend the rates exacted by these
roads are prohibitive and in violation
of the provisions of the maximum
freight law. They ask for an order
compelling the roads to put in a
classification for slaves, ETC., under
the lumber schedule. They assert the
roads have been charging whatever
they pleased, To prove that slaves
and headings, are lumber, they quote
the definition of lumber from the die
tionary, which is: Lumber is timber
sawed or split into beams. planks,
joists, etc, smaller than the heavy
timber or logs" The roads must an
swer in 10 days.

State May Investigate.

Frank A. Wightman, member Of the
public service commission, departed
for Lebanon to make an examination
of the track conditions at the Gene
of the Frisco wreck. This Is to de-
termine whether the commission
should make an official inquiry. If
the wreck was due to a cloudburst or
matters over which the road had NO
control the commission will make no
investigation.
The management of the Frisco made
no report of the wreck and the first
information which the public service
commission had come through the
newspapers.
Thomas NJ. Bradbury, secretary Of
the commission. called up the offices
of the road to ascertain the facts
about the wreck. Bradbury told the
official with whom he talked that the
utility act has a mandatory pr vision
requiring railroads to report al acct
dent Immediately. He was advised
the report would be made from the
operating department at Springfield.

Cure for Blindness.

In certain forms of blindness caused
by opacity of the cornea it has been
discovered that the best form of treat
ment is a tatooing process. For this
operation ordinary india ink is used,
the tatooing being done with a hypo,
dermic needle.
The cornea is injected with the ink
by repeated punctures, so that when
the operation is completed the cornea
is apparently completely blackened.
But during the process Of absorption
Of the ink particles that follows, the
original capacity is also absorbed, the
cornea becomes clear and sight is re-
stored.

81 CnsrIes prosperous.

The bureau of labor statistics in a
recent bulletin sets forth some of the
advantages which st. Charles offers
as a place of business. Among other
things, 1t says that a huge car shop
employing from 1,400 to 1000 men, a
large boot and shoe factory. two brew
cries, two flour mills, three fair-sized
bakeries, three heat, light and power
plants, four newspapers and printing
establishments make the place a man
ufacturing city of no small proper
lions. In IA years the value OF manu-
factured products advanced from
~$S,l45,662, representing the year 1900,
to approximately $ 5.O00,0O0 for 1914.
The bulletin places the gain in output
during the period mentioned at nearly
80 per cent, which is a remarkable
showing for a city in the middle of an
agricultural section and located SO
close to a huge manufacturing mo
tropolis like st. Louis.
The bulletin is one of a series the
bureau of labor statistics is issuing
with the object of familiarizing the in
habitants of Missouri with the prog
ress Of their state since 1900 as a
manufacturing commonwealth. Other
recent bulletins of this department
dealt with the manufacturing Of Han
nfbal, Sedalia, Springfield, Jefferson
City, Joplin and Cape G~irardeau, and
future ones will deal with the prog
res along the same line of Poplar

Physicians Recommend Castoria

CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part Of physicians pharna-
- ceutcal societies and medical authorities Tt is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use Of Castona is unquestonaby the
result Of three facts: FHst-The indsputable evidence that it is harmless;
ss""f-That it not only alays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assmi-
l&s the food: n%s-It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OIL
It is absolutely safe It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, Or other narcotic
and does not stup&y. It is unlike Soothing Syrups Baemans Drops Godtfys
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever is to expose danger and record the means Of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castora is a remedy which produces cOmposu1e and health, BY
