Edward P. McCabe, the only negro

him by Miss Wooster's father thirty
years ago prompted the negro TO come
to the state to aid the Salina woman

Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Decision Injurious.
Wichita, Salina and Hutchinson
Worst Sufferers.
CLAMORED FOR REIMBURSEMENT
Commission Rules Against In
traState Rates in Kansas.
Carriers VIII Take Advantage
of Washington Ruling.

A decision by the interstate COM
merce commission received IN Iopehd
this morning forcing interstate car
riers in Nebraska not to make dis-
criminatory freight rates for Nebraska
wholesalers within the state will DC a
blow to wholesalers at Wichita. Sa-
lima and Hutchinson. That was the
belief expressed this morning by L. h
Hogueland, an attorney at the topeka
Traffic bureau.
For years wholesalers in south and
southwestern Kansas cities have been
clamoring for a readjustment of rates
from cities on the Missouri river and
east of the Missouri. In the last sixty
days the interstate commerce commls-
sion has presented three decisions
knocking out intrastate rates where
they are lower than interstate rates
In stort, the interstate commerce COM
mission by its action plainly indicates
that it does not look with favor upon
intrastate rates which tend to bar
wholesalers in other states from par
ticipating in competition with state
wholesalers.
Doing 1t DipIomatically.
AS yet, the interstate commerce
commission has not stepped forward
and declared that the intrastate rates
cannot be enforced. But the commits
sion has stated that interstate shippers
must give rates that will be equal to
interstate and interstate shippers. The
railroads are not looked upon as
philanthropic institutions and there is
little doubt expressed among shippers
that the carriers will take advantage
of the commissions ruling and adj
vance intrastate rates, where lower, to
interstate rates.
Ths action in the Nebraska case was
taken before the interstate commerce
commission by shippers at Leaven-
worth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Sioux City
and Council Bluffs.
Competition Prohibitive.
Several years ago the Nebraska
railroad commission prepared a table
of interstate rates for Nebraska ship
pers to Nebraska points which made
competition at Council Bluffs, right
across the river from Omaha, almost
prohibitive.
Shippers in these other cities suf
fered almost as great loss at the hands
of the Nebraska interstate rate.
Hence, the appeal to the interstate
commerce commission. The other
two similar decisions handed down
by the commission in states border
ing on the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers affected shipments from Mem
pills., Tenn, into Arkansas and Sioux
City into South Dakota.
Mr.. Hoguelend predicts that Kan
sas under the present attitude of the
interstate commerce commission will
not be affected to any extent as rates
prevailing into the state are practi-
cally the same as those which the in
tcrstate commerce commission appear
TO approve.

DAINTY MENU FOR BREAKFAST
First Meal Of the Day 10 Of consid.
cradle Importance to All tho
F amily.

The question of.the breakfast menu
depends upon the individual taste.
The fruit should not be too cold. The
fruits in season should naturally be
served. If the tray is Of ample size
small compete filled with cherries
and currants arranged together on
shaved ice is attractive. Oranges
should never be sent up on tray un-
prepared. Hot toast, preferably I'M
buttered, seems to be growing in favor
for breakfast, though other hot breads
are frequently served.
Popovers and crisp corn mullins are
excellent for breakfast If they can be
served as soon as baked, and with
them there should be marmalade of
some variety. It is a wise plan to see
that the tray is always supplied with
little jar of jam or marmalade.
