Shareholders Of the Chicago. Milwau-
kee and st. Paul will receive IN q few
days a letter from II. r. Williams, vice.
president, giving a further explanation
OF the reasons why the directors decided
to reduce the dividend from to 4
per cent annual basis. Mr.. Williams
says the principal reason was that the
Pacific Coast extension OF a little over
5000 miles cost $3.50. 100000 and that
s36, 100000 was expended on 65s miles
OF second track and 61.000.000 on
other track and terminal facilities, mo-
tive power and rolling stock. These ex-
penditu1es were met through the sale OF
1924. 0O6. 900 of bonds, which resulted In
an expansion In fixed charges of approx
imtely S9,500,000 annually. He says
that II conditions affecting the operation
OF railroads, particularly as to labor
materials and supplies. had not radically
changed within the last year or two the
st. Paul would easily have earned its
usual dividends and substantial sur
plus. Mr.. williams adds that the in
crease in wages alone for the first half
of this calendar year was about

For Follower. Of Steel.

Followers of the steel market and in
cidentally of the steel shares will fnd
by an examination OF average prices for
steel that the advance which practically
has been unbroken for the last two
years has come to a halt at last and
that the average quotation for eight
leading products. including bessemer
pig Iron. is now 25 cents a ton under the
level reported week ago Finished
steel shows no important change, but
according to trade interests indications
favor somewhat lower quotations, even
before any price fixing may be adopted
By the Government and the producers.
The uncertainty regarding this price fix-
ing already has checked buying! which
in itself may induce sellers to recede
from their position In favor of the buyer.

U. 8. steeI's Quarter.

Stock market interests, at the moment
at least. are thinking more about the
forthcoming quarterly statement of the
United States Steel Corporation than Of
the price situation. The directors of the
big corporation will meet on Tuesday
next to receive the report of earnings
for the three months ended June 30, ana
although no official estimate has been
given out the Street 10 figuring upon
something better than the record break

net earnings were in excess OF tll3,000,-

Incomplete Regulation.

After explaining that regulating COM
missions do not always take into con-
sideration the fact that the ability of n
public utilities company to obtain now
funds depends to a great extent on the
condition of the Investment market. the

lio utilities house says: ''Incompiete
regulation, as II now, exists In many

Price Uncertaintx.

The steel business was not affected in
the last quarter by the check given to
new orders by the uncertainty over
prices. and IL may not be materially af-
fected In the current quarter. in so far
as earnings are concerned. for while new
orders are not coming in volume prac-
tically every large steel company in the
country has enough orders on hand at
high prices to keep its mills busy for
another quarter. .>and the United States
Steel Corporation, unless cancellations
have been enormous, has enough to keep
1t busy until the turn of the year.

that this combination OF simple laxa'
tive herbs with pepsln fulfills It's pur-

In need, and always keep bottle OF

Constipation Is the direct cause OF
much serious Illness and is n condition
that should never be neglected Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatiVcg
should never be employed TO relieve
constipation, because the very vio-
lcnce of their action shocks the en-

preferable, being mild and gentle In

pain or discomfort It's freedom from

With the true spirit OF service, Mrs.
Stewart inspired the educational lead
ers of eight counties To try the plan
In 1912, and everywhere Il was an
unqualified success. Men and women
of all ages thronged the schools and
plead for longer terms when the end
of the moonlight period came. In
1913 she aided in the establishment
of moonlight schools In 20 counties.
Miss Ella Lewis, county superin-
tendent of Grayson county. estab-
lished 22 moonlight schools In her
county In August, 1913. The earnest
ness, activity and devoted spirit of
self sacrificice on the part of Miss
Lewis and her teachers were richly
rewarded by the great number who
learned to read and write that year.
Among the old people was an aged
man of 81 who wrote his first letter
to Miss Lewis to thank her for his

came an earnest reader of the Bible,
