 His eye falls on the legend over his head. and he smiles.
 Our good name is also his good name.

 His thoughts are-es they should be-chiefiy of him. self, of his little home, and of his family.
 Their good name, his good name, our good name his good work will stand guard over them all. Two thousand miles away in Seattle, we will say the same thought in the same simple words. An irritating moment has arrived-the temptation to speak sharply to a GUS toner, to fling a slur at unworthy competition. The salesman, or the man. ager, or whosoever it may be, locks up, and the quiet admonition meets his eye. Protect our good name. In a twinkling it snoothes the wrinkles out of bis point of view.

 Think of ff1is business, please, in the light of it's great animating thought: Protect our good name. We are thinking of you, always, when we say it- you American millions, and you millions in the old world.
 We think of you judging us-by what we are, by what we do, by what we make.
 We think of tens of thou- sands of homes in which our name can be made to stand for that which is worthy and worth while.

FACTS ABOUT your HAIR

There are about IT'S, 900 hairs in your
head.
Each one is an independent oil plant
and like any other plant must have con.
slant care.
If neglected, it gets sick and dies.
Dandruf is the greatest enemy of the
hair.
1t seals up the hair-cells, smothers out
the roots and causes the hair to fall.
The head should be kept free from
d2ndruf.
The hair-ee1s should be kept open
and healthy.
Not by washing with toilet soaps nor
alkali sRampeos that will attack the
natural oil of the hair and destroy the
fatty reets.
An oil shampoo with no free alkali
should be used.
EVERY WEEK ANTI-SEPTIC OIL
SHAMPOO contains no free alkai.
It opens the hair-cells, leaves the
scalp soft, snti-septic and free FROM
iandruff. 1t is the only shampoo con
tanning mineral oil which is real benefit
70 the hair plant.
Its rich creamy lather thoroughly
eleanses the hair and leaves it soft, lus
trous and healthy.
To insure a vigorous, healthy scalp,
men and children should have sham
poo every week, women every other
week.

PROTEST AGAINST
FREIGHT TARIFFS

tiles Board Registering an In
formal Kick on Rates.
SAY THEY ARE DISCRIMINATORY
Rock Island and Moline Manufacturing
Company Fighting Advance on
Coal Schedule Submitted.

Protest against the alleged discrim-
inatorv advance in coal freight rates
for Rock Island and Moline was wired
to the Illinois utilities commission by
the Rock Island municipal commission
today. The state body convened In
Springfield today to hold a hearing on
the objections filed by the ROCK Island
and Moline Manufacturing company.
Claiming that the increase the rail-
roads desire to make effective is 10
cents per capita per year in ROCK Is
land and Moline, while the advance
elsewhere in the state is only II. cents
per capita, the company, which Is
holding of the Tri-City Railway and
Light company, has protested against
the schedule the railways proposed
last fall.
In this schedule the proposal of the
railroad companies was to advance the
rates 10 cents per ton for Rock Island
and Moline and cents per ton else
where in the state. Following is
statement which the company has is
sued:
Railroads early last fall filed tariffs
to increase freight rates on coal from
all Illinois mines 10 cents per ton to
Rock Island and Moline and only D
cents per ton from the same points to
all other points in Illinois.
Rock Island and Moline rates were
already comparatively higher than 9TH
er points and we protested the going
into effect of the proposed rates. The
tariffs have now been suspended until
Sept. IA, 1916, before which time it is
expected that the case will be decided.
According to the railroads figures the
proposed increase would amount to
$4,000 per year for Rock Island and
Moline, or about IS cents per capita
per annum per the 1910 census. The
average increase per capita as per the
railroads figures for the entire state
outside of Rock Island and Moline, is
but II cents per capita per annum.
Cost Cities $47, 900.
We show in our petition where the
railroads omitted shipment of 100000
tons from one mine alone which would
increase the amount the advance
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-01

would cost Rock Island and Moline
from $4,000 to $4,000
Coal sold for domestic purposes in
Rock Island and Moline represents
about 70 per cent and about 30 per
cent is used for industrial purposes.
The increase, if it goes into effect, will
not be for one year only, but for every
year to come"
Joliet is the only city which now has
higher freight rates on coal than Rock
Island and Moline. Should the increase
go into effect Rock Island would have
the highest rates in the state, as the
following table shows, the figures be-
ing the tariff nor ton.

Intended Writing,

1t was announced at the city hall
today that the commission had intend
ed writing to the utilities board and
filing a protest against the proposed
discriminatory advance in rates, but
because OF the lateness of the time
that the matter was properly brought
before the attention of the municipal
authorities, a wire was sent.
