behoOves every public spirited citizen
and official to thwart the unjust appli-
cation of said railroad companies for
an increase In rates on Good Roads
Materials, and you are respectfully
requested and urged to petition the
Honorable Railroad Commission not
to err in rendering their decision.
Considering the great and many be-
nefits to be derived by the railroad
companies in the increased tonnage
of agricultural products, and the dew
elopment of our State due to the con-
struction of Good Roads In which
these materials are use, 1t Is obvions
that should any changes in the rates
on this Good Roads Materials be made
at all, the question Of decrease; and
not OF increase; should be seriously
considered, and that fat rate of Ten
$4,000 Dollars per car should be the
maximum on all Good Roads Building
Materials. such as the above, to any
point In the State.
Requesting your cooperation In this
matter which is SO vital to the future
development OF the State and Good
Roads Construction, am,
Very respectfully,
w. E. ATKINSON.

Stiff Joints Result From

IL yOU have been In the best of

call the doctor to exclude diph-

| have to hurry to their patients often
T, or the patient Is well before the Aescul-

Shortly thereafter-or mayhap years

heard. or rather fclt. in the knee joint.
| shoulder joint, or indeed, in several
joints. This may be the end of the mat
ter, or the process may stop only with
q fixed, deformed, stiff, immovablc
| joint.
Lately Drs. Nathaniel Allison and
| Barney Brooks of St Louis undertook
cxperimentally to clarity this strange
state of affairs.
In one Of their Investigations the st.
Louis surgeons found that the disor-

Joint or any other point depends sone-
" hat. upon the part of the bone injured
II two surfaces of the bones were de-
nuded opposite each other. soft, fibrous
tisRue Joined them together at the end
of two months healing. No new bone,
however, developed.
When two or more surfaces within
any human point becomes immovable
and bound stiffly together, medical pun
dits Use the term "ankylosis.'
Three Forms Known.
There are many possible kinds of
"anky ylosed" joints, but three of them
are we'll understood One deforrns or
stiffens the hinges of the joint with
bony rigidity. Another is partly car
! tilagc and partly fibrous scars, while tho
| other is in part fibrous and In part
bony.
The st. Louis experimenters employed
dogs and used the knee joints particu-
| larry in their researches. The same
care and attention was given to the
| upon mankind Twenty experiments
| we're performed, during which the joints
were infected with bacteria, injured in
various ways, and even excision of the
| Joint carried out.
They discovered as a result OF their
