Prevalent low temperatures. storms

likelihood of immediate substantial

difficulties of efficient railroad opera

with an inadequate car supply tended
until nearly midday to reduce offer

moderate advance in prices.
During the last part of the session,
however, considerable aggressiveness

would now be far better able to cope
with this condition if they had re-
ceived more liberal treatment in the
matter of rates during the past, at a
time when they could have marketed
securities and financed improvements
while labor and materials were rea-

and improvements on railroads is tho
beginning of decay and the letting
down of the standards of service. The
lack of sympathetic attitude toward
the railroads in governmental quar-

CONGRESS SHOULD
ADJUST REVENUE
PRESIDENT CLAIMS

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-A plea that
President Wilson and congress
should, without delay, order that an
equitable basis for railroad revenues
be instituted at once" was voiced by
Samuel Rea president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company in a mes
sage read before the annual conven-
ton of the Association of Life In
surance Presidents IN session here.
Let us have an end of restrictive,
cramping, punitive regulation and be-
gin an area of constructive, broaden
ing work." wrote Dr. Rea. Let US

wisely spend, rather than how little
they can get along on

that neither American agriculture nor
industry can possibly progress beyond
the capacity of the transportation IA
cilities of the nation to handle their
raw materials and their products.
When you stop railroad expansion in
a country of such distances, popula-
ton, industrial and agricultural &C
tivities as ours, you automatically set
a dead limit to the expansion of COM
merce and production.
"As one of the chief of the under
lying causes which have been sap
ping our resources of transportation,
| would name the continued failure to
provide an adequately remunerative
basis of rates. The direct effect Of
this error has been to make it diff
cult to raise and sustain sufficient
capital for the Improvements and ex-
tensions which are sorely needed. In
the mania for restricting the charges
for transportation the financial posi-
bility of permanently maintaining
quality of service seems to have been
overlooked Aside from military con-
siderations, we. in the railroad indus
try, know from personal observation
that what the public and industries
need is service, rather than the saw
ing of fraction of a mill per ton
mile. We know that there are many
shippers in this country today who
would gladly pay more than the es-
tablished rates to have their COM
modities moved promptly and regu,
larly. The operating results and the
net returns of the railroads for many
years show there has been a constant
rise in expenses and taxes, and de-

Notwithstanding prevailing his


prices and the difficulty of getting
capital. it is imperative that prompt
measures be taken to give the rail-
roads relief from the present over
crowding of facilities and a poor in
vestment return. Nothing could be
more helpful to the country in these
trying times than the adoption of a
broader. a more liberal and unified
policy of regulation. The railroads
are the great reliance of the public
and the country. The public owns
them. Public ownership is not a pos
sibility; ii is a fact.
The energies of our country and
its railroads are being devoted pri-
marily to an international service and
danger threatening the life of the ma
ton and the world. The day for

QUIT MEAT i. YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Drink
lots of water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take y
tablespoonful in q glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate cloggcd kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful eiTervescent
Whitewater drink, and nobody can make
q mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.
