One Railroad System.

Under the plan OF the five members
of the special railroad committee on
national defense the railroads of the
country have been amalgamated for
all practical purposes and in effect
there is now one nationwide trans
portation system in the United States.
Terminals mean nothing. Strife for
Government business is eliminated
and equipment is pooled. Says B. L.
Winchell: This committee has power
to take engines or cars from the Him
ois Central and send them to the New
York Central. 1t has authority TO
order officers and employees from the
Union Pacific for service elsewhere.
Ii can order shipments diverted from
one road to another without regard
to competitive earnings. Expedition
il the end in view. This step was
taken by the railroad officials in
broad gagged and patriotic way.
which eliminates selfish interests OF
any given road. The plan will doubt
less furnish data valuable to all or
us in the future operation OF our
properties along the lines OF helpful
cooperation and the pooling OF equip
ment."
A Threat or n Promise!
The newly organized shipping
board evidently means business. 1t
has written TO steamship companies
formerly in the coastwise trade be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
calling their attention to the fact
that this trade has been deserted, and
asking them politely what they are
going to do about II. This trade, 1t
will be recalled, was temporarily
halted by slides in the Panama canal.
To keep their vessels going the com
panies jumped into the European
trade. They found that dollars were
to be made in this business where
dimes had been made in the American
coast to-coast voyages. SO the for
eign trade kept them. The shipping
board has warned these companies
that It is their duty to revive the
coastto-coast trade and that II they
do not re-enter this trade the United
States Government will do so.

Like Magic

A.a-hi THAT'S delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment
made with the oil Of mustard and
other home simples.
It does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
plaster and minus the b1ister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is-rub it on
briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing, soothing relief-first gentle
glow, then delightful sense of cool
ness. And best of all, no blisters like
the o1d-fashioned mustard plaster used
to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-

ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, 1unbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,

urday when he announced cltywide
boycott on potatoes.
Drastic measures to stop the flight of
spud prices were taken by the mayor
following the announcement that the
price had leaped to $3.50 a bushel and
apparently is still rising.
MacVicar's boycott plan calls for the
elimination Of all local sales during the
seven days beginning March 3. Fra
ternal, civic and labor organizations
have been asked to cooperate with the
mayors office to bring about COM
plete boycott during that week.
II believe that this will have a
wholesome effect on the potato mar
ket," MacVicar said yesterday. Men
who are in a position to know have
told me that there are enough pota-
toes stored in Des Moines warehouses
to supply the entire city until the new
crop is<available. Most of these We're
bought for around 81 bushel.

Washington, Feb. 26.--The war de-
partment is preparing to go to the mat
with the Iowa senate over the restlu-
ton recently adopted by the latter
body arraigning army officials for treat
ment of the Iowa National Guard dur
ing the border mobilization period.
Thus far the official test of the reso-
luton passed by the upper house of the
Iowa legislature has not been received.
but II the news dispatches carried from
Des Moines are accurate, war depart
ment officials said, the senators did an
injustice to the army.
The only direct charge made in the
published report Of the resolutions was
that the war department compelled the
men Of the Third Iowa infantry to pay
the government for the uniforms they
wore when mustered in last June, when
they had received the uniforms from
the state.
Information Inaccurate.
This, war department officials said,

the uniforms, which were furnished by
the government to equip the militia.
When the organizations were in the
status Of organized militia, these Of
ficers explained, the men received is
sues Of clothing merely accounting for
them by signing voucher receipts. But
when the organized militia was called
into the federal service the men and
organizations were placed on the same
footing as regular troops and had to
comply with supply provisions appli-
cable to the regular army.
Given Clothing Allowance.
Even then, officers said, the men
were not compelled to pay for the uni
forms out of pocket. They were given
clothing allowance, ample to meet
such payments, something they did not
have before. and in effect paid for their
clothing with money given to them by
the government for that purpose.
Judge Advocate General Crowder
said today that, altho he was men
toned specifically in the senate reso-
lutions, he could take no action until
the matter was referred to him by the
secretary of war. The secretary is ex-
pected to send the senate an official
explanation.
