PANAMA CANAL CAUSES
 NEW FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission
 Grants Petition Of Railroads.

Washington, Feb. 12.-To meet new traffic conditions which have arisen with the opining of the Panama canal, the interstate commerce commission yesterday permitted transcontinental l railroads to establish certain com modity rates for eastern points to Pacific coast terminals lower than those to intern ediate points in inter- mountain territory.
 The order permits railroads to carry carload freight from Chicago, Buffalo and New York to interme- diate points, 15, 25 and 35 cents higher than from Missouri river to the same destinations, and less than carload commodity rates from Chi cago, Pittsburg and New York to in- termediate points may exceed those destinations by 25, 40 and 55 cents, re- spectively.
 Less to Pacific.
 Carload rates on coal and pig iron may be less to the Pacific coast than to intermediate points, but the rates on such articles to the higher rated intermediate points must not exceed five mills per ton mile.
 ''The Pacific coast terminals to which these rates will apply" says the explanation, "are the points at which the Atlantic Pacific steamships deliver their freight.
 ''It is evident from the whole rec ord," says the commissions opinion, that whatever may have been the degree of competition in the past be- tween the rail carriers and the water carriers as to the rates on these arti- cles concerning which additional re- lief is now sought, we are Witnessing

RUSSIANS ADVANCING
 IN CARpATn|AN ARENA
Berlin Admits Cars Forces Have
 Entered Hungarian Territory.

London, Feb. 12, 12:15 D. m.-The appears, judging from despatches reaching London, likely to be as short lived as were the previous Russian raids into this same district. Ger many's superb equipment and strategic railways in this territory have enabled her within a few days to against the invaders.
 In the present case the German soldiers appear to have been rushed onto East Prussia from both Poland and interior points.
 Favorable to Russians.
 In the Carpathians the situation looks favorable to the Russians, who are pressing against the Austrian de- lenses at three of the most important mountain passes and this in spite of the difficulties interposed by snow blocked roads. Berlin admits that the Russians have entered Hungarian territory at several points in the Car pathian district, but declares that these positions were most dearly bought in view of the terrible casual ties inflicted by Austrian artillery and machine guns on the Russian massed formations.
 In Russian Poland the Germans hold the belief that Russia is pre- pairing to fall back to her second line, and the Russian trench defenses in that region will be assisted by the flooding of great sections of the inter- vening country.
 g. More Stringent Measures.
 The London newspapers profess to believe that the German submarine attack on the British steamer Laertes, flying the Dutch flag, will precipitate more stringent measures against Ger man trade, which was promised by Premier Asquith yesterday in the says it believes the government will announce a complete blockade of the German coast, as a result of which all goods to Germany by sea will be liable to seizure.
 Flushing Harbor Bombarded. A wireless despatch from Berlin reports that an aeroplane, presum- ably French, has dropped bombs in the harbor of Flushing which Is Dutch territory, but no news of such an occurrence has been received from Holland.

 Lower Than Present.
 ITO secure any considerable per- centage of this coast-to- coast traffic rates on many commodities must be established by the rail lines materi- ally lower than those now existing. AS we view it, the Panama canal is to be one of the agencies of trans portation between the east and west, but not necessarily the sole carrier. If the railroads are able to make such rates from the Atlantic sea- board to the Pacific coast as will hold to their lines some portion of this traffic with profit to themselves they should be permitted to do so. The acceptance of this traffic will add something to their net revenues and. to that extent decrease and not increase the zburden that must be borne by other traffic. It will also give the shippers at the coast points the benefits of an additional and a competitive service.
 We are of the opinion that these carriers should be permitted to com pete for this long distance traffic so lung dS IL may De secured at rates which clearly cover the out of-pocket cost.'
 Few Oppose Petition.
 The commission says that few, if any of the intervening interests real ly opposed the petition of the car riers but that the intern ountain ter- ritory protested -->.,
 The commission suggests that the railroads themselves readjust the so- called "back-haul' rates from the Pa cific coast to points inland

A GOOD MEDICINE
 FOR POOR BLOOD
Mrs. Brunson of BetIefontaine, Ohio, Believes VinoI is the Best Remedy in the World. Her Personal Experience.

Bellefontaine, Ohio.-" My blood was very poor and was in weak, nervous, rundown condition. l tried different medicines without benefit and one day my druggist told me about Vinol. In all l took four bottles and certainly got the results was looking for. It built me up in every way, blood, strength and nerves, and tell my friends it is the best medicine on earth. Many of them have used it and found it so. !" Mrs. EARL BRUNsoN, Bellefontaine, Ohio.
 As long as the blood is impoverished, thin and poor you will be weak, pale and tired all the time.
 Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, supplies ircn to the blood, puri- fies and enriches it, while the cod liver elements contained in Vinol creates strength, and rebuilds wasting tissues.
 Vinol is not secret nostrum. simply the medicinal elements of the cods' iv- CTS, with the useless nauseatinp oil elim- mated, and tonic iron added. Try bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not make you stronger, feel younger and give you an added interest in life.

 FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it. Hamburger Brust Thee,' at any pharmacy.

 It is inexpensive and entirely vege- table. therefore harmless.

HOW TO CLEAR
 AWAY PIMPLES

Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol soap and hot water, then apply a little resinol ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash of with resinol soap and more hot water, finishing with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing resinol medication sootbes and cleanses the pores, removes pimples and hlackheads, and leaves the complexion clear and velvety.
 Resinol ointment and resinol soap stop itching instantly and speedily heal skin humors, sores, burns, wounds and chaing. Sold by all druggists. SOAP FOR BABY,S TENDER SKIN
 The regular use of resinol soap is usually enough to prevent those dis dressing rashes and chafings to which most babies are subject. This is so, first, because resinol soap is absolutely pure and free from harsh alkali, and second, because It contains the resinol medication, on which so many physi- clans rely for skin troubles.

THE GOSPEL OF GOOD TIMES.


Being Chapter XIII OF the FRS
Eplstle to the Dead Ones according tc
Saint Elmo.
And, therefore, 1t came to pass
when the seven fat years had been
fulfilled, that there arose those
among the people who cried with one
voice: Behold, the years of famine
and darkness are upon u.s."
And straightway they did crawl
into dark caves, and pulled the caves
in after them, and did shut out the
sunlight
And they lamented with many lam
entations, saying: The years of
darkness have come and the sun
hides his face from the children of
men,"
Then came others who were wise
IN that generation. and did beat upon
the stones that were rolled before
those caves wherein the calamity
howlers howled, and cried unto them
to come forth, saying: Behold the
sun still shines. and the face OF Ma
ture is fair to see, and thy crops
ripen fast unto the harvest, and shall
another reap in thy fields where thou
hast sown?"
But the dwellers in darkness cried
to get them hence, saying: Know
We not that darkness is upon the land
and we can not see; nay, verify. even
the hands before our eyes?
Here now will we abide, for we
have little provision, but enough
only to suffice for our own needs
during the dark days, and when we
behold the sun again, then shall we
come forth and till the fields, but not
yet, nor SOON"
And those who were without held
counsel together, saying: None are
so blind as those who will not see,
and wherefore shall we not gather to
ourselves the ripe grain of these our
sightless brethren which lies ready to
our sickles? Then shall we have all
our own and twofold more, and when
these howlers of the caves are an
hungered, 10, we will jar loose from
them many shekels for that which
was their own and they would not
take. And 1t shall come to pass that
we shall wax fat and our sons shall
wax strong upon the land"
And 1t was even so!

Yes, he was a dreamer,
A dreamer of beautiful dreams;
He was builder, too,
And made those dreams come true.
Not true to the very best dream OF

For that is a gift to mortals denied.
Yes, he was misunderstood by some
That is the dreamers fate
But his town was better because he
had striven;
That the best of his brain and heart
had been given.
There were many who loved him and
understood,
And because of this he was satisfied.

In this he was blest as some dreamers
