The first favorable impression made
by Hoods Sarsaparilla is confirmed by
continued use. II is harmonious com
bination of compatible ingredients, per-
feet pharmaceutieally--that is, it is the
finest product of most skllful pharmacy.
And in therapeutic value-or power to
eure-it is one of the best medicines
America has ever produced.
On the practical side, which of course
is the most important to you, Hoods
for forty years has been
demonstrating its curative power in re-
lieving complaints arising from impure
blood, low state of health, poor digestion,
inactive kidneys and liver.
For your humors, or for rheumatism,

The Commerce Commission
Open a Confer
ence
ELLIOTT DESCRIBES
N. H. PROBLEM
Twenty-Five Per Cent. More
Business Than Ever
Before

Washington, March How best to
remedy eongested conditions in freight
terminals of trunk line railroads enter
ing New York and other Atlantic coast
seaports was the topic for discussion yes
terday at an informal conference be-
tween the interstate commerce commits
sion, the railroads and shippers.
The commission has set aside two days
for discussion and hopes to find some way
to solve a problem that has worried all
concerned for several months. 1t is with
out power to lessen eastbound shipments
by embargoes, but could consider the JUS
tice of regulations that would expedite
unloading of cars. Car shortage in the
West will be taken up during the con
ference.
Chairman MeChord in pointing ont the
purpose of the conference, declared that
it clearly was the duty of both railroads
and shippers to make every effort to end
the congestion.
"The commission hopes" said Mr.. Me
Chord, that helpful suggestions may
here be presented and that there may
be cooperation between carriers and
shippers and receivers of freight in eff
forts along right lines to ameliorate as
speedily as possible the present situation
which is, and apparently for some time,
may be extremely troublesome"
He explained the inability of the com
mission under the law to take up prob
lens connected with the handling OF traf-
fie, the operation OF roads, or their pro-
vision for terminal facilities.
Chairman Howard Elliott Of the New
Haven spoke first for the roads. He
said the New Haven was now almost one
continuous freight yard, and that it has I
almost reached the point OF strangula-
lion. On last Saturday he showed there !

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Not Much More Than "The Princess Pat"
Could Be Desired

Rich in about everything which goes
to make a comic opera successful, "The
Princess Pat" was presented at the Barre
opera house last evening before large
audience which thoroughly enjoyed the
finished work of the players, admired the
appropriate settings and resolved to see
the performance again should il come
this way In all ways THE Princess
Pat" was success. The music by Victor
Herbert was sung in splendid manner
the dancing was graceful and not over
done; the comedy was far removed from
the vulgar. Ruth Welch as the princess
and leading performer, was repeatedly
called back. as indeed were most Of the
others having prominent parts. Loretta
Marks was q marvel at dancing with her
capable partner. Francis Bryan. Ben
Hendricks was such a capable and, with
al, humorous German that one might
have imagined himself in the Fatherland.
Philip II. Ryley had the town constabls

play was the effort If a neglected wife

were more than $4,000 freight ears at
terminals of the New Haven not being
moved, and more than 400 ears on the
line which the road was unable TO move
to the terminals.
"fhe business the New Haven is do.
ing to-day" said Mr.. Elliott, sis prob.
ably from 80 per cent. 20 90 per cent.
in excess of the business il was doing a
year ago and at least 25 per cent. in ex'
cess OF the business il has ever attempt
ed to carry on" He said that at pres
ent there Were about 10000 New Haven
freight cars on other lines, and that on
the New Haven system there were about
$4,000 cars belonging TO other lines. The
charges against the New Haven for she
use OF other roads cars, he said, had
virtually wiped out the profit the New
Haven actually earned from operating
revenues during the last few months.
Mr., Elliott said the present congestion
was attributed TO several causes. So
far as war munitions business or any ex-
port business was concerned, he pointed
out the New Haven had been but little
affected. OF the total freight carried by
the New Haven, he said war munitions
about per cent. He said the
fact was that business had emerged from
a quiet period, that buying powers had
increased, that New England manufac
turers were demanding raw materials,
The New Haven, fearing trouble in the
coal fields. has been buying large fuel !
supplies for possible contingencies.
Mr.. Elliott suggested that the commits |
sion should permit the railroads to put |
in force sliding scale of charges for
storage of freight in warehouses or in |
'ars to insure more prompt unloading I
by receivers of freight. The New Haven,
ne declared, has spent several million |
dollars in increasing equipment during
The last few years, and he argued that
he shippers should be expected TO inn !,
,rove their facilities for loading and un
oading AZ well.
"The burdens" he concluded. SHOULD
,e distributed more evenly than they are

Systematic records of the wealth

ALTERNATE NAMES
ON STATE BALLOTS
FAIR PLAN AGREED UPON
EACH CANDIDATES. NAME TO
BE PLACED AT TOP IN 25
COUNTIES.

Little Rock, Feb. PA plan
which 1t is thought will satisfy all
candidates for state and district of
flces regarding the placing of names
on the state primary ballot has been
worked out by officers of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, it
was announced yesterday. Under an
agreement between Chairman A. J.
Walls, Secretary J. S. Maloney and
Assistant Secretary June p. Wooten,
the ticket will be certified to the
County Central Committee as fol
lows
IN each county the names of can
didates from the county will be plac-
ed at the head of the list of candi-
dates for the nomination they are
seeking. In the other counties the
names will be alternated.
The ticket sent to each central
committee will be arranged accord
ing to this plan, and the committee
asked to adhere to it in having bal
lots printed. AS an example, in Ar
kansas county the names of Judge L.
c. Smith, candidate for governor, will
be the first on the state ticket. In
Ashley county the names of the g b.
ernatorial candidates will be arrang-
ed differently, and so on in other
counties. BY this plan each of the
three candidates for governor will
have his name at the head of the
ticket in % of the rs counties in the
state.
The same plan will be adopted rel
ative to candidates for other state
and district Offices, where there is
more than one candidate. In case
there are two candidates from one
county for one office, their position on
the ticket will be decided by drawing
straws or by some other such method.
Associate Justice Carroll d. Wood
yesterday paid the $75 fee to Mr.
Wooten to have his name placed on
the ticket as candidate for re-nom-
ination. Less than a week remains
in which fees can be paid, and prac-
tically all candidates have paid Feb
