FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With the Othine Prescription.

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckIes and giving a
clear. beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guarantee
to refund the money il it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plica ons should show a wonderful
improvement, sope of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine: it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee

Dried Peas Substitute for Potatoes

dried peas called "carlins," or maple
peas, are now being eaten as substi
tutes for potatoes in the north of Eng
land. They are cooked like marrowfat
peas, soaked over night and boiled
for twenty-five minutes the next day.
In early times ''cariins" were eaten very
generally on Carlin or Passion Sunday.
They are light brown color outside and
cream coIored under the skin and sell
from to 2 cents a pound, much less
than beans and peas.

FIND BROWN NOT GUILTY.
Former Financial Secretary of Carpen-
ter's Union is Acquitted Follow
ing Trial by Jury.

F. A. Brown, former financial secre-
tary of the Carpenters Union of Ke-
nosha, who was arrested in Chicago on
the day before Christmas charged with
the embezzlement of funds of the
Carpenter Union Of Kenosha, was
found "Not Guilty" by jury in the
Municipal Court late Thursday after

and returned verdict in the case in

financial department of the organiza-
ton, but he asserted that he had no
intend to defraud the organization in
any way. He declared that every cent
which he had handled would have been
paid back to the union. At the time
of the arrest of Brown he was charged
with taking a considerable sum o.
money, but the complaint on which he
was tried charged the embezzlement of
but twelve dollars. He had been in
jail awaiting trial since his arrest. 1t
is not expected that any other war
rants will be issued against him.

w. J. SWIFT JOINS
THE WHITTIER CO.
Well Known Automobile Man is to be
Identified With New Truck Com
pany Recently Organized.

Announcement was made today of
the resignation of w. j. Swift, pur-
chasing agent of the Nash Motors Com
pany. Mr.. Swift has joined the forces
with the WHITTIER Motor Truck Com
pany, Kenosha's youngest industrial
enterprise. He will take an active
part in the management of the com
pany's business, and will direct the
purchase of all materials entering into
the company's product. Swift has
taken an active interest in organizing
the company, and the rapid develop
ment of the business of the company
necessitates his giving his entire time
to the project.
During the past few weeks sufficient
orders have been booked to tax the
present capacity of the company for
the next twelve months. The present
quarters at Winthrop Harbor, are alto
gether too small and plans for new
and modern building are about COM
pleted. Work on the new buildings
will start as soon as the weather per-
mits. The company has opened its
Offices in the new Gentle building on
West Market street. The first con-
signment of motors were received to-
day at the factory, and active work
in the assembling departments is well
under way.
"We are very enthusiastic about
our new enterprise" said President
Whittier when seen at his Office this
morning. "We believe we have line
of trucks, the design of which will ap-
peal strongly to the buying public and
our aim will be to assemble only such
component parts as are recognized
as being the best in their respective
classes.
Mr.. Swift is a Kenosha boy and
with the exception of five years has
spent his entire life in Kenosha. He
has been connected with the Jeffrey
company for eight years, serving in
the capacity of assistant purchasing
agent and during the past year as head
Of the purchasing department.
No announcement has as yet been
made of the appointment of a purchas-
ing agent to fill the position made
vacant by Mr.. Swift resignation.

The commission requires by its order
that the carriers establish joint rates
between all points in the state. 1t
found that, while there were at pres
ent joint rates between some Of the
railroads for part of Wisconsin, some
of these schedules being at present on
favorable basis, that for the larger
part Of the state there existed no joint
rates at all, and that where a ship
ment had to be made over two roads.
it could only be made for the sum of
the locals. In its order the commits
sion did not follow the Minnesota and
Iowa method Of making joint rates,
which was to take a certain per cent
of the sum of the locals-usually eighty
five per cent or ninety per cent.
New Joint Schedule.
The joint schedule is made up by
adding certain arbitrary amounts, diff
fering with each class to the rate
which would exist were the shipment
over a single line, these additional ar
bitraries to cover the cost Of the trans
fer at junction points. This brings
about a joint rate structure consider
ably more favorable to the shippers
than the percentage basis of the
sum of the locals.
Members Of the commission believe
the net result is to bring about a more
equitable and fair adjustment of class
rates throughout the state. The adj
justment gives no preference to any
community, and each community will
stand upon its own basis, which is
the same everywhere.
1t was also found that, in view of
the lower rates established by the new
maximum distance tariff, it would be
unreasonable to the carriers and de-
trimental to the state of Wisconsin
and its business interests to make the
tariff a rigid distance tariff, or apply
strict long and short haul rule. The
commission found that as long as the
rates intermediate were reasonable in
themselves, and not unreasonable dis
cfiminatory when related to other com
munities in the neighborhood, that the
carriers having the longer line would,
within reason, be permitted to meet the
short line rates without applying the
short and long haul rule.

IN EFFECT FIRST OF MAY
Commission Slashes Rates on All Glasses
of Freight and Orders Roads to Make
New Joint Schedules as Soon
AS Possible.

Thousands of dollars in reduced
freight rates for Kenosha win be the
result of a decision rendered on Thurs
day by the state railroad commission
in the case Of j. N. Tittemore, Omro,
representing shipping associations of
the Fox River Valley, against the
big railroad companies operating in
Wisconsin.
Members of the commission say the
specific saving to the people is mat
ter of conjecture. Others who have
made close study of the case esti-
mate it will be not less than one
hundred thousand year. Tt is pro-
vided that the order shall become
effective May /.
The decision, which was written by
Commissioner Carl Jackson, one of
Governor Philips appointees, is re
garded as one of the most important
rendered by the commission since it's
creation several years ago. The order
covers class rates, and the findings are
based on series of hearings which
have been carried on the last year.
Features of the Ruling.
Some of the important conclusions
reached are:
That the present maximum dis
tance tariff is superseded by
new distance class rate tariff for
the whole state.
That rates in general are materi-
ally reduced, especially on the
first four classes, classes one to
four applying to less than car
load lots.
That present rates are unrea-
sonably high.
That carriers shall establish
joint rates between all points
in the state.
That the new rates are reason
able for future use by the car
riers. The reduction in freight
charges range from five to thirty
per cent, depending on the classes.
An idea of the reductions may be
gained by comparing first class rates
in force on a single line before the
decision with the rates prescribed in
the order just issued:
