COMPRESS COTTON RULES
AMENDED BY COMMISSION
Application Made by Railroads APP
proved-Port inspectors TO Be
Maintained Hereafter.

Austin, TeX.-In approval of appli-
cation presented to the railroad com
mission December 81, 1915, on behalf
of all Texas railroads, the commission
Wednesday issued an order amending
rules and regulations on compression
Of cotton, the order to become effec
tive January 10, 1915. The new rules
provide that when the railroad COM
panies at Texas ports maintain, at
their own expense, inspectors to agree
with representatives of the steamer
companies, or other receivers OF cot
ton, as to what cotton shall be recon
ditioned on account of broken bands
and spiders found at the time of I'M
loading, the expense of the recondi-
tioning account of broken bands shall
be paid, one-half by the compress COM
pany performing the pressing and one
half by the railroad companies haul
ing such cotton; and the extra ex-
pense Of eliminating spiders shall be
borne by the compress company per-
forming the first pressing. 1t will be
understood that the gross amount paid
for repairing broken bands shall not
exceed the sum of 60c per bale. and
the amount paid for repairing
spiders" shall not exceed the sum
of sc per bale. The proportion paid by
the railroad companies on account of
broken bands shall be prorated be-
tween such railroad companies in pro-
portion to their earnings on said ship
ment.
The above rule is substituted for
the rule that provided that when COM
pressed cotton must be reconditioned
for cause other than not having the
required density, the expense thereof
must be paid by the compress doing
the original pressing, except that when
compress companies maintain inspec-
tors to agree with railroad representa-
tives and other interested parties as
to what cotton shall be reconditioned,
the compress maintaining such inspec-
tors shall assume % per cent of such
reconditioning expense and the rail-
road companies having the cotton, the
remainder, to be prorated between
them in proportion to their earnings
on such shipments.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon me condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
OF the patients urine. He knows that I'M
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation, in most cases, Is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. II is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and 81 LOO
However, if you wish first to test thi,

TEXAS LEAGUE BALL LEADERS
ADOPT SCHEDULE FOR SEASON
Efforts Will Be Made TO Secure a TWO

Louisiana.

Houston, Tex-Waco cast the only

the meeting of the Texas Baseball
League magnates Sunday. The objec-
ton of Waco being two long jumps to
Shreveport for Sunday series.
Every effort will be made to secure
&c party rate into Louisiana instead
of the present 212c fare And as the
&c rate in interstate trips prevails in
the Western Association and the
League, it is probable that it will be
obtained.
A distinct change in the system OF
apportioning mileage for the season
will take place. In other years the
mileage has simply been prorated. In
the future the cost of mileage, based
on parties of fifteen and attested by
receipt slips obtained when transpor-
tation is purchased, will obtain. This
reform was largely due to the Waco
grievance over the Shreveport jumps,
as the Shippers may be able to make
the jump in the most convenient fash
ion without financial loss.
The league has decided to adopt
uniform tickets for all clubs. instead
of as heretofore allowing each club to
| have its own ticket system.
Efforts are to be made to reduce the
