eyes with tepid water. This reomves
the irritating dust or small particles.

she should battle the eyes with salt

ARKANSAS UP AGAINST
THREE-CENT RATE

Little Rock, Ark, April 5.-Arkan-
sas' two-cent passenger rate and the
commission freight tariff as applied
to the Frisco railroad in Arkansas,
were declared confiscatory Monday
and the state perpetually enjoined
from enforcing a two-cent intrastate
rate upon that railroad company.
The assessed valuation of the rail-
road in Arkansas and the returns
of the railroad for certain periods
showing a division of the intrastate
and interstate business, passenger
and freight, was given by the railroad
company. Upon the railroads valu-
alton the return within the state was
shown to be virtually nothing on in
trastate business and that the earnings
from interstate business at a Scent
fare was but little more than a five
per cent. The total valuation of
Frisco property in Arkansas is about
s17,0OO,OOO.
The decision was rendered by
Judge Jacob Trieber in the United
States court. The case had been
pending years, the railroad endeav-
oring to prevent enforcement of the
Arkansas two-cent rate.

it is true that the hands-the men

this kind of work, they are showing
the true spirit by trying to do just
exactly as their foreman, Tom Ellis,
directs. They seem to have caught
the spirit of making every yard of

much energy, and the money donated
