sleep, and a FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP
FROM WHICH THERE Is NO WAKING. Many are the children who
have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregorc. auda-

point were only mildly Interested in
the war" the state railroad commission
severely criticised Pacific coast rail
road officials in an opinion made pub
lie today. A copy of the document was
forwarded to Director General MeAdoo.
The commission declared the western
roads are not living up to their pledges
to support the president in government
control and are not attempting to elm
mate competition. 1t declared that
after signing resolutions by the west
ern railway war board pledging this
support as o patriotic duty President
Sproule of the Southern Pacific said
the railroads in the west had not been
merged because "there has been no oc-
casion for such merging and General
Manager Hibbard Of the Santa Ee COM
mented on the resolution that he didn It
know fwhat the fellow had in mind
that wrote it." To remedy existing
conditions in the west the commission
recommends less stringent restrictions
on importation of Mexican labor; joint
board Of operating experts to elimin-
ate competitive lines; operation of
two independent single track systems
on the basis of one double track line;
and numerous steps for the elimination
of unnecessary hauling, overhead costs
and passenger servieeeompetition.

the ability of a congressional delega-
ton to grasp what its state needs and
get those needs properly before the
right authorities that counts. In the

The recent rate decision Of the inter
state commerce commission. giving 10
per cent increase to the transeontinent-
al railroads, makes the building of a
large Pacific coast merchant fleet more
imperative both from civil and a
war standpoint. The more ships that
can be launched from the Pacific
coast yards the greater the tonnage
via Panama canal, and the cheaper the
deliveries of essential commodities at
Pacific coast points and also of our
commodities at Atlantic coast points.

Arizona counties are reported to have
the three fugitives cornered in Cochise
canyon, natural fortress and former
stronghold of Apache chieftians. The
troops and posses are closing in on all
sides. A battle is expected. That the
bandits are now afoot was indicated by
discovery of their mounts lying exhaust
ed near the Cross x ranch, where the
trio was forced to dismount and aban-
don them.

German subjects are being very sat

present law are being saved for them
until after the war, according to Gus

amendments that would take the prof

The war department s building work

sour army and navy come first. Tho
increased wage scale due to the war
has been responsible for the great in
creases in consumption. If we can
avoid food tickets it will be great
moral and economic accomplishment.
The conservation has taken place more
largely in the class that is better to
do than in the industrial class. New
York with its rich has done more than
Pittsburg with it's workers. Export of
any food at all has been possible only
because of conservation.
Only about Is establishments have
been closed for violating food orders,
Hoover said.
In urging that enemy business be
liquidated and the cash turned over
to the treasury instead of saving the
profits for the Germans, Custodian
Palmer said:
"January 81 we had on our books

$147, ,064 ,598, and $4,000 more will be
