Hard to Get Well
After a Cold

Colds and fevers often seem to
leave the kidneys weak and then
you may suffer with tired-out feel
ings, dull throbbing .backache,
sharp darting pains, headaches,
dizziness and urinary disorders. 1t
should be easy to help weak kid
neys, but If they are neglected
there is danger of gravel, rheuma-
tism, dropsy or Brights disease.
Rest up as much as you can and
begin using Doan's Kidney Pills.
The testimony of thousands of
pleased users proves Doan's we'll
worth trial if your kidneys are
weak.
HERE'S A TACOMA CASE.
Mrs. Ludwig Johnson, $50 N.
Anderson St., says: when my
kidneys were bothering me quite
a while ago, had a terrible swell
ing in my feet. Sometimes there
were puffy sacks under my eyes
and the whole trouble was brought
on by a cold on my kidneys. My
back ached continually and was SO
weak it was awfully hard for me to
get around. Doan's regulated my
kidneys, then the swellings went
down, my back became strong and
/ was well in every way"

Tn case no work involving the use of horses and mules is required. the horse shoers, saddlers and wagoners will be used on any other work for which they are suitable. In military service, every man must do the thing that comes to him to do regardless of his peculiar trade or vocation in civil life.

HARAHAN GIVES REASONS
 FOR INCREASE IN RATES

decrease the available supply and as 8 result advance prices. If the farmer cannot, as the result of the shortags of cars and inefficient service, get his products to market promptly. would 1t be the part of wisdom upon his part to plant larger crops and are we justi- fled in urging him to do so unless the necessary transportation facilities are supplied? If the railways are to rem der the service that is both necessary and imperative they must be pro vided with funds not only to keep the locomotives and cars they now have as well as their terminals, tracks and bridges and promptly serve both the producer and consumer, but also to buy new engines and cars and cn- large their present facilities.
 A. That an increase in rates Is nec- essary for the public good, to say nothing of the railroads, is demon- strated by the testimony recently given to the interstate commerce com mission by the president of the Sea board Air Line Railway company, n which it appears that for the year ending December 31, 1916, this road had net income of s1,612,010.62. while
 during the year 1917 at the present cost of labor and material the oper-
 ating cost of this line, which is fair
 criterion of other southern roads will be increased as follows:
 Increase in wages .......$ S45,142.00 Increase in cost of ma
 terial. such steel,
 coal. lumber and the
 like ............... 1.75s.sso.oo Increase in taxes, not in
 cluding those that will
 probably be levied for
 war purposes. es........... 11e,30s.00 Increase in car hire. .... 9S,551.o GO IOLal ..-.-..s.... $o,Ulo.5ol.VV Detailed figures were given under oath by the president of the Seaboard showing that 1t as well as other sim liar southern roads are being oper ated economically and their expenses constantly scrutinized by the inter- state commerce commission. The fore- going figures indicate that even should this road be granted an increase of | IS per cent on it's interstate rates, | that this alone would only represent
 an increased revenue of approximate ly million dollars. while it's expenses, l as shown above, will probably iu-
 crease more than $3,000,0 900.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-05-15

Some reasons why it is imperative that the railroads be given an imme- diate increase in freight rates were given in letter to The Age-Hersld yesterday by President W. J. Hara- han of the Seaboard Air Line railway.
 In his letter MT. Harahan sets forth the reasons in the following order:
 l. The efficiency of the railroads, as an arm of the government In the present war, must not only be main- tained but increased if possible. If they fail to measure up to their full responsibility as result of not be- ing provided with ample revenue for the efficient maintenance and oper- ation of their properties, their dere- lctions will be reflected in pro- longation of the war and paid for by the public in continued and increased war taxes, far in excess of the in- creased rates asked for by them.
 2 The railroads, no more than the individual, can escape the effects of conditions that have doubled the cost of living and advanced the price of everything they have to buy. They
  ly, transportation, and it's price is reg ulated by law. The farmer who pays more now than he did a year ago for , fertilizer, seed and farming utensils finds compensation in the advanced prices of his products. The manufac- turer and builder, to whom the cost of raw materials has advanced many fold, guards against loss by advanc- l ing his price to the consumer or pur- chaser. Why should not the railroads 1 that must in order to continue their service to the public purchase these 1 raw materials, such as coal, lumber and iron, at the advanced prices, be permitted to protect not only them l selves but the shipping public by ad- vancing the price of the only commod- 1 ity which they have to sell, namely, 1 transportation?
 l 3. The public are the direct bene- l ficiaries of efficient transportation i service. as well as the sufferers from l inadequate and inefficient service. If 1 the railways cannot handle promptly | the food supply and other commerce
 of the country, that fact in itself will
