Those troubled should obtain from
any good pharmacist an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply it directly
upon the abrasion like an ordinary cold
cream. It isn't unpleasant and the
prompt relief afforded is very welcome.

Eastern Railroads Ask Rehearing OF
Rate Cases.

Kate Eases.
1 Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Eastern
railroads have formally petitioned the
interstate commerce commission for
a rehcaring in the advanced rate case.
They want to put into effect 5 per

diminishing revenues aggravated by

country to take more sympathetic
view toward them. No date for the
hearing has yet been set.

TEXTBOOK PRICES

Tho State Board OF Education, Mt
tho mcctin, called for the adoption OF
"a list OF textbooks for use Ia the Vir-
ginia schools for the next four years,
refused 20 make any adoption on the
grounds that prices quoted by the pub
fishers were higher in Virginia than
in other sections OF the country. In
stead OF the adopted list the board
gave out "preferrcd list" and named
a committee to negotiate with tho
publishers for reductions
The committee several weeks ago
addressed II direct question to all the
book publishers who bid In the adop-
ton whether or not they would con-
slider reductions In tho prices quoted
either on the basis of the customary
four-ycar adoption or on the basis of
II seven-ycar adoption, which the board
Is willing to ordain, provided il can
secure satisfactory contracts The
committee practically rcopened the en-
tire question by asking publishers
whose books failed 10 appear on the
preferred list To- offer substitutes
for preferred list" books Ut lower
prices.
Those who arc familiar with the
situation expect the committee to
recommend 10 the board to-day the
postponcncnt of the adoption for
twelve months pending thorough In
vcstigation of tho charges OF discrln-
ination brought against the publish
