is already evidence of this change.
As the number of jobibng points arc
Increased, the average outbound local
haul will be shortened. These chang
e. must materially reduce the rev
eIues OF the railways, and to offset
this loss, aad the loss occasioned by
the heavy reductions in the long
haul intrastate rates, increases are
asked in some of the commodity rates
and the short haul class rates.
The Commission has also been
asked to adopt the Southern CLASH
lication, with certain exceptions. The
railroads now use three general clas-
sifcations in the United States, and
there are also a number of State
Commission classifcations, as in
Georgia. The unification of these
classifcations has been agitated in
Congress, advocated by the trade bod
les generally, and endorsed by the
National Association of State Rail
road Commissioners. The railroads
i'll response to this demand, have been
engaged for some time in an effort to
bring about uniformity and this worl;
IS nearing completion. A necessary
step towards this uniformity is the
adoption by the State Railroad Com
missions of the South, of the South
ern Classification with such excep-
tons as may be necessary on &C
count of local conditions. Petitions,
similar to the one now before the
Georgia Railroad Commission. have
been granted by several other South
ern states. The railroads consider
favorable action by the Commission
on this part of their position very
important, because of the desirability
Of uniformity as a primary PROPOSE
ton, and also for the purpose of pre-
venting determinations between state
al interstate rates, due to differenc-
es in the classifcations, which char
acter of discrimination has been con-
demned by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Supreme Court
of the United States, in which is gen.
orally known as the Shreveport

Serious Face
Has Dealt a
Blow To Hat

PARIS, March Embarrassing mum
bers of grave faces have dealt severe
blow to the rather trivial little bonnet
women have worn since fall. The doll
like head-dress is now left to bright
faced sewing and shop girls, while
graver visages are seen under wider
straw of higher ribbon. The straw is
no longer pulled down over the head
as one draws on stocking, but is
posed lightly, not on the lack of the
head as heretofore, but on the fore
head, as another reminder that the
Germans are still at Noyon.'
Understands have, it is said in au-
thorized quarters, come back to stay,
and styles in dress are getting farther
and farther back into the eighteenth
century, with ribbons galore. The
ribbon, it is said, will be the keynote
Of summer styles with short sleeves,
hounces and elegances of the ante
revolutionary days.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOURS The FOOD
Says Excess Of HydrOchIOric Acid i:
COuse of Indigestion.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and Indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydrochlo-
ric acid in the stomach retards diges
ton and starts food fermentation, then
our meals sour like garbage in can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.
We thin get that heavy, lumpy feeling
in the chest, we eeuctate sour food,
belch gas, or have heartburn, fiatu-
lence, waterIbrash or nausea
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast, while it is effer-
Vescing, and furthermore, to continue
this for one week. While relief fol-
lows the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the gas
makink mass, start the liver, stimulate
the kidneys and thus promote free
flow Of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is u.s.
ed by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.

to January 1st, jobbing was restricted
tC about 60 commercial centers which
enjoyed preferential ratees. Under
the revision of interstate rates which
became effective on January LIST, every
local point now has an equal oppor
t'nity to become a jobbing point Rail
road officials believe that this will re-
suit in a general shifting of traffic
With shorter average local hauls and
declare that the beginnings of the
process are already in evidence. The
following statement was authorized
by the representatives of the railways
who presented the petition
''The proposed revision of rates in
Georgia is necessary compliment TO
the revision of interstate rates, which.
became effective January LIST. The
shopping public is familiar with the
changes in those rates, made pursu-
ant to an Act of Congress and in
conformity with orders of the Inter
state Commerce Commission The
rates in effect in Georgia are, in many
cases, discriminatory in their relation
IT, the revised interstate rates, and
are not consistent with the long and
short haul rate applied to the inter
state rates"
sss''The petition presented to the
Georgia Railroad Commission pro-
yides for tn eadoption of state mile
age tariff, which will be free from
these objections"
1T has been necessary in this re-
vision, as in the interstate revision,
to advance some rates and reduce
others. but the advance in class rates
proposed for ddistances 1870 miles or
less, are small in amount compared
with the reductions proposed for the
longer distances"
THE petition also asks for a more
extended revision of the commodity
rates on lumber, fertilizers and other
articles on which the present rates
are considered abnormally low"
THE interstate revision, which be-
came effective January LIST, greatly
enlarged the jobbing opportunities of
tie smaller towns, consequently
many towns which formerly bought
ir nearby jobbing centers will now
buy in the primary markets, from
which points the rates have been
substantially reduced, and carry on Il
j2bling business themselves. There

Georgia Railroads Petition
The State Commission Fora
Change In Their Rate Basis

ATLANTA, Ga, March "A petition
has been presented to the Georgia
Railroad Commission by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, Atlanta, Birming-
ham & Atlantic Railway Central of
Georgia Railway, Georgia Southern &
Florida Railway, Seaboard Air Line
Railway, and Southern Railway re-
questing a general revision of freight
rates in the state and the adoption of
the Southern Classification with Ger
tain exceptions in place of the present
Georgia Classification.
The purpose of the proposed read
justment is declared by the railroads
to make Georgia rates conform to the
rates covering interstate traffic. The
revision of interstate rates which be-
came effective January LIST, under an
order of the Interstate Commission,
marked the passing of the cid "basing
point" system of rate making in the
Southeastern territory and the adop-
ton of system of rate complying with
the Long and Short Haul Clause of the
Interstate Commerce Act. The propos-
ed revision of Georgia rates is declar-
e. to be complementary to the inter-
state revision and will mean the wip-
ing out of discriminatory rates within
the state under which certain COM
mercial centers are given more favor.
able rates than much larger number
of smaller communities
The revision now proposed in Geor-
ga will mean increases in the class
rates for distances up to 1870 miles and
decreases for distances greater than
that. Changes are also asked in the
rates on lumber, fertilizer and other
commodities which are declared to be
abnormally low and out of line with
interstate rates on the same commod-
tiles. The adoption of the Southern
Classification will also result in a
greater degree of uniformity which is
much Desired. This will also cause
changes in some rates.
Regarding the increases in the class
rates for distances of 100 miles and
less, railway officials declare this
step necessary in order to preserve
tLeir revenues in view of the reduc
ton in the rates for hauls Of over 100
miles and the shorter average haul
which will result from the multiplied
tion of jobbing points. Under the sys-
tenn of interstate rates in effect prior
