Freight Rate Adjustment.

The interstate commerce COM
mission has placed before the
trans-continental railways their
tentative findings in the inter-
mountain rate cases, proposing a
radical departure from the old
preferential coast rates, and the
railroads are given until April I'd
to file objections.
The commission proposes that
intermediate points shall have at
least the same rate as the coast
points, and in some cases a lower
rate. Under the commission S
proposal the changes will be
made either by increasing the
through rate on certain classes
that are now too low, and on 9TH
er classes where the coast rate
is reasonable a lower rate will be
made for intermediate points.
The adjustment will probably be
made so the revenues of the rail
roads will not be interferred with
materially, but it will readjust
the burden by relieving the in
termediate points in a measure,
and add to the coast rate, which
has had an unfair discrimination
in it's favor all these years.

Union Evangelism.

There has been a laudable ef-
fort made to unite all the Chris
tian forces of the city in a union
campaign against sin, and the
people have rallied nobly. The
attendance has been unusually
large for Winslow, many have
professed faith, and much good
has been accomplished. Mr..
Morris is a fearless preacher and
does not spare himself or the
people. Some of his assaults on
the fortresses of sin are vitrolic,
and cause people to dodge and
squirm a little, yet it is all season
ed with wit and good humor, so
that the same people come again.
Next Sunday is set for the clos
ing day of the campaign, and
there will be union services at
the Methodist church in the
morning, afternoon and evening.
Prof. Wheelan will lead the sing
ing and put on some special
music. DR.. Morris will speak at
II o'clock on the Unseen Reali-
ties" At 3 p. m. there will be
a citizens mass meeting. The
mayor, city council and the
school board are especially invit-

HIGH WAR PRICES
Affect HEALTH
OF CHILDREN
Head Of New York Hospital Says
Over Half Of Pupils Are
Underfed. ::

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Of the
100000 school children in this city,
10000 are undernOurished and in
need of attention, while the condition
of 100000 others is only "passable,' -
according to DR.. Henry Dwight
Chaplin, head of the children's divi-
sion of the Post G "a duate hospital In
a public address this medical man
said much of the malnutrition of chill
dren is caused by war prices, and
that the disparity between" wage in
creases and the mounting cost Of food
has caused mothers to give their
children tea and coffee instead OF
milk, which had increased from 9
to Is cents a quart in the last year.
"In a report to the mayor by the
bureau of personal SERVICE" he con-
tinued, "the minimum on which a
family of five can live in New York
is shown to be $3.50 this year, as
compared with $40 in 1915. In 1915
half the married men in this city
were found to be receiving less than
SIS a week, while ST. was the aver
age.
"The effect Of this upon the nutri-
ton of many children has been
marked. The nutritional grading of
$1,000 children in 1916 gave superior
condition to so per cent, passable So
per cent, poor per cent, and very

THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS NEEDED
War Work Creates Labor
Problem for Ciuil Ser
rice Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Before
the war began the United States gov
eminent employed approximately
500,0 900 persons in the civil branch.
Now that this country is actually en-
gagged in the conflict. the great army
Of workers behind the fighting forces
is growing by tens of thousands. A
good example of this rapid addition
of employees is in the civilian force of
the ordnance department of the army.
Seven large privately owned office
buildings in Washington are required
to house the officials and clerks of
this force, in addition to the usual
quarters in the state, war, and navy
building, which were sufficient before
Uncle Sam began to prepare for war.
The gun division alone, which did not
exist as separate division before we
entered the war, now has more than
1000 civilian employees besides about
800 commissioned officers, and it is
estimated that this division will be
three times its present size within
year. The great manufacturing plants
Of the ordnance department in vari-
Gus parts of the country employed
about 10000 men last spring. Now
10000 are at work in these esta blish-
ments.
The task Of supplying these thou
sands of workers in the face of the
greatest demand for labor the country
has ever known is the problem of the
United States Civil Service commits
sion. AT this time great numbers of
men and women are needed to fill
stenographic and other positions in
the offices at Washington and me-
chanical trades and technical posi-
tons in the government plants for
manufacturing artillery and ammuni-
ton. The local boards of civil SER
vice examiners at the postoffices in
all cities are furnishing detailed in
formation concerning positions in
which men and women are needed.
