HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubesl Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesl
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tce OF such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
Of West Virginia and the decision Is
so far-reaching that we have asked
L.. E. Johnson, president OF the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago. passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
Of large number of states at two
cents mile. AS basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business 30 regulated. nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to the rail
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class Of business.
Such law was passed In West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained 1t for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested. 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

On Two-cent Passenger Rates

! both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying passenger Q mile. The
State. however. contended that the
railroad was earning enough surpluA
on It's state freight business to give
fair return upon the capital used In
its passenger as well as Its freight
business. For the purposes Of the
case, the railroad did not deny this.
but held to Its contention that the
State could not segregate Its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost Of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
bOudDlc ldtcp, thdl dhOIob AO iC0ooA
for compelling 1t to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision is wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules OF fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reafflrmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"
