Orders Against Foot and Mouth
Disease Causing Delays.
WESTERN RATE HEARING
Railroad Officials on Stand Tell
of Their Freight Costs.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm the Traffic World.

The different state embargoes
against the foot and mouth disease are
causing considerable difficulty for the
railroads. Not only are embargoes
laid against the shipment of cows,
horses, mules and other animals, but
in some states, the shipping of arti-
cles packed in hay and straw is for
hidden.
In Kansas, the foot and mouth dis
ease is located in just three or four
counties and the state authorities have
effectively kept it cornered. In Okla
homa and Texas, there is order
against the importation of anything
packed in hay or excelsior, with the
provision, however, that these articles
can go if properly fumigated. There
fore there is a quantity of glassware.
crockery, paintings, dolls and all kinds
of toys and table ware which is being
put in an antiSeptic condition. In New
Mexico and Arizona the law is still
stricter as nothing can be shipped in
hay or straw and a lot of shipments
are thus tied up.
The railroads have to comply with
the federal law, which governs the en-
tire territory and the various and nom
uniform state laws. The live stock
commissions of the states in the foot
and mouth" district are using different
methods regarding the expectation of
stock, hay and straw. That is where
the rub comes in.

AN OLD
RECIPE TO
DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded Or Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound You will get a
large bottle for about SO cents. Ev-
erybody uses this old, famous recipe,
because no one can possibly tell that
you 'darkened your hair. as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You damp
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger

ONE-THIRD OF INCREASE
Would Be From Grain.-A. E. Helm
of Topeka, at Chicago Hearing.

! Chicago, March 23.-L. E. Wetling,
IStatiStician for the forty-one western
railroad systems which have asked
for an increase in freight rates on GER
tain commodities, testified before In
terstate Commerce Commissioner w.
M. Daniels today as to the amount
the railroads hoped to add to their
annual revenue through the proposed
increase on the rates for grain and
grain products. OF the $10,000,00O
which the railroads estimate would
all the proposed increases, $2.252, 493.
Mr.. Wetling testified, would come
from grain and grain products. This,
he said, would be about one-third of
1 per cent of the total of the revenue.
The witness presented a statement OF
all the grain moving out on proper
tional rates from Minneapolis to Mis-
siSsippi river cities and beyond, in
Guiding southeastern Atlantic ports
and to gulf ports for export. To these
were added movements from Oma ha,
South Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas
City, Atchison, Kan; Leavenworth,
Kan, and st. Joseph, Mo-, to the same
destination, as well as the movement
to Texas.
N. d. Ballantine, assistant to the
second vice president of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific road, testi-
fled to what he termed the excessive
cost of handling grain. This cost, he
said, greatly reduced the apparent
profit on grain hauling.
the witness, 1--WE had two thousand
cars held back on account of embar-
go and congestion on export grain.
Cars were held up as far a thou
sand miles from the ports. The grain
heated and it was necessary to inspect
all of it and to transfer and elevate a
large portion. We had more than
$4,000, 900 worth of perishabIe grain
on our hands and it entailed a large
expense. There is an excessive empty
haul on these export cars. On one di-
vision northbound the empty box cars
are ia per cent of the loaded box
car mileage
A E. Helm, of the Kansas public
utilities commission, cross examined
Mr. Ballantine as to the cost of load
ing labor and cooperage of grain.
DO you consider the Rock Island
a typical road in Kansas for export
shipments by way of Galveston?'
I'VE so consider it,
Wasn't the Rock Island one of the
roads which were criticized by the in
terstate commerce commission for not
providing labor for the loading of
grain ?'
.It was not On the other hand
the Rock Island was considered an
exception in that it supplied ample Ia
Dor for loading"

GAUGE is TOO WIDE.
Germans Having Difficulty in Using

Berlin, March 23.-As German
forces press on into Russia, the prob

gauge railroad coaches to the wider
Russian tracks arises. Everywhere
else in Europe the rails are LABS mil
hmeters apart, but on the Russian
roads they are 1924 millimeters wide.
For some time certain cars and
trains plying between Germany and
Russia have been equipped with inter-

can be shifted in few minutes. but
the majority of the German rolling
stock is not so fitted, especially the
passenger cars.
The shift from standard to broad
gauge is accomplished by shunting
cars travelling Russia-ward from the
standard track into a sort of turn
