eases of women. Among those who
know cbout it a great deal of fame Of
osteopathy is attributed to its sue
cess in women's cases but unfortu-
nately a great many women have
a wrong impression about the prac-
tice ard consequently are projudiced
against 1t or are afraid Of 1t.

RAILROADS SHOW DECREASE IN
 NOT REVENUES FOR AUGUST
Figures Will be Used to Support
 Claims for a Rate Increase.

Washington, Oct. 23-August rail- way net revenues which vii be used by the railroads to support their claims for a rate increase, were less, by approximately $s,O00,Ooo, than in August, 1916. This reduction in in- come was shown in the face of an in crease of approximately $38, 900 900 in gross revenues. The figures cover all roads in the country.
