York rates and Boston rates that has
obtained for decades, the Boston
chamber of commerce has led more
than one hundred New England COM
against this threat to the industries
of this section.
A fact of Importance to all cotton
manufacturers of this region is that
if these rates are sustained, the rates
on northbound shipments will be
raised on the same scale. The man
ufacturers have been slow to appre-
ciate this threat, as the southern roads
and steamship lines were thoughtful
enough to try this on southbound
schedules first 1t costs thousands of
dollars to prepare and publish tariffs
such as these; and so the innovations
were attempted only one way for the
present. If the Interstate Commerce
commission sustains them, the north
bound rates will be raised, probably
within a year from now.
The Putnam Chamber of Commerce
directors were prompt to take a hand.
and authorized the committee headed
by W. N. Chandler, manager of the
Transportation bureau Of the Boston
chamber, to protest in their name. The
meeting at which Mr.. Chandler was
chosen to head the committee was at
tended by representatives from many
cities and commercial bodies. and is
well suited to speak for New England
shippers.
The first step taken was to ask the
authorities to suspend the proposed
tariffs pending an investigation. This
the suspension board of the Interstate
Commerce commission declined to do,
with the statement that this was not
an opinion. but merely a refusal to in
terfere. Next, a formal protest was
filed; and this will be called for a
hearing soon.
Meanwhile, arrangements have been
made with Francis b James, of Wash
ington, D. c. to represent New Eng
land interests IL 1t Is certain that the
fight will be made. The committee
takes the ground that the commercial
bodies have no funds for legal ex-
penses in a case that affects class
of members only. If the shippers who
viii pay these freights southbound and
the manufacturers whose customers
will have to pay the increased cost
If they continue to buy New England
made goods. are not willing to pay for
protecting Their own interests, then
they will be to blame, and will have
to suffer.
1t is estimated that $4,000 viii
be required for this work Boston
will undoubtedly raise the most of
this amount; but others must join.

WANTS BALL TEAM.
President A.. w. Williams, of Business

President A W. Williams Of the

tiny arms against a bounding rubber
ball, and never for less than three
base hits, and ever afterwards, until
very recent years. an ardent supporter,
Of the game and some pumpkins as

President Williams believes, and hun
dreds of others here believe with him,

The baseball proposition will be
taken UP next Tuesday evening at the

with the organization, it is very prob

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE AZ
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when 1t burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form OF ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the all
mentary organs a certain amount OF
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poiSons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pinples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
-phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
