1t is the function OF The kidneys TO filter
impurities from the blood and cast thepi

instances the bowels create more toxins
and impurities than the kidneys can ell

as the next best means Of getting rid OF
these impurities which often break out

WESTERN GRAIN
RATES ARE LOWER
Chairman Boyd Says that Freight
Charges Are Below Those Pre-
vailing in Eastern Territoy.
PROPOSES SEVERAL ADVANCES

CHICAGO. March 9.-F. b. Boyd,
chairman Of the western trunk lines
committee, testified as a grain ex-
pert at the Interstate Commerce COM
mission hearing today that the forty
one western railroads which are ask
ing for freight rate increases are
now required to carry grain and
grain products between certain west
ern points at rates much lower than
the rate prevailing in eastern terri
tory.
To equalize the rates Mr.. Boyd urged
increases asked for by the railroads, as
follows:
One cent a hundred pounds for grain
and grain products carried from terri
tory between the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers to Chicago. excepting transcon-
tinenth traffic and excepting also points
between Kansas and Nebraska and the
Missouri river.
Two cents hundred pounds on grain
ana grain products shipped from Chicago
to gulf ports for export.
A minimum Of 10000 pounds for a car
load instead Of $1,000 pounds is asked.
Mr.. Boyd presented figures purporting
to show that the increases asked were in
equalization with the rates on the same
commodities in other parts Of the coun-
try.
The present low and inadequate rates
are the result OF the old rate wars which
the railroads fought before the Inter
state Commerce commission was created. ="
said Mr.. Boyd. Back In 1901 the roads
under the old competitive system reduced
their rates to a profitless basis. Under
regulation, competition in rates was put
out Of business old and low schedules
were enforced so that railroads are work
ing under rates that fail to yield an
adequate return on the greater service
required by modern conditions"
