State Loses Rail- Rate Case.

The Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
railway has been given the decision
over the state by Judge Clarence W.
Sessions In United States district
court at Grand Rapids, in the cele-
brated rate case. The road for years
has fought the two-cent fare law as
an unconstitutional act.
In this case the petitioning company
endeavored to have declared invalid
and two-cent fare law of 1909, so far
as II applies to the particular road
and offered as proofs to substantiate
its claims testimony of various engi.

cost OF materials, rolling stock and
labor since the beginning of the war.
II was maintained the road could not
operate profitably on the two-cent
basis.
During the last few years the com.
pany has been permitted to charge for
fares on the three-cent basis and re-
bate slips have been given all passen.
gers. These rebate slips are said to
amount to about 100000.
Similar cases brought before Judge
Sessions by the Pere Marquette and
Ann Arbor roads have been decided in
favor OF the state.
The case has been in the courts for
the last six years.
Throughout the hearing, an attempt
was made on the part Of the state to
show the company's valuation of its
properties and cost Of maintenance is
altogether too high. and difference

CAMP CUSTER NOTES

The wireless station of the 330th
Field Artillery is now catching mess
ages from the stations at Arlington
and Key West.
Some 200 selects are now being
given instruction in cobbling, and
presently all of the shoes of the sol
diers in camp will be repaired by the
men themselves.
Wives of enlisted men can obtain
work in the camp laundry, which is
said to be highly modern. Working
conditions, under the rule OF military
authorities, will be agreeable.
A special instruction bulletin has
been issued by Gen. Parker calling the
attention of all commanding officers to
the necessity for educating the men in
the necessity of caring for their teeth.
The work which Gen. Parker has
been doing in the S5th division has
attracted national attention. New York
papers which have arrived in camp
carry comments on the new spirit
shown in Camp Custer since his ar
rival.
Camp Custer construction cost &c.
100000, consuming 46,500,000 feet If
lumber, 10 carloads Of nails, TIA car
loads of cement, 966 carloads OF
brick, 1856, 900 feet of wire, 3,595,o00
square feet OF wall board, and other
things in proportion. The base hos
pital, which comparatively few desi-
dents of Battle Creek have even seen,
because OF its isolation, cost Uncle
Sam $5S0,000 and is little city of it.

War Saves Teeth.

That national decay" had set in for
many years before the war is undeni-
able, says an authority on national life.
Nationally, our teeth, our hair, our
eyes, were going" We we're becom-
ing a tOothless, baldheaded, bespecta-
cled race.
War bread will, owing to the great
or masticatiOn that its ingredients and
its staleness require, save the teeth Of
thousands of the younger generation.
Richard Grady of the United States
Naval academy, In Il lecture ut For
sythe infirmary in Boston, said:
without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication.
without thorough mastication, d.
gestion, there cannot be proper asslmi-
lation.
without proper assimilation there
cannot be nutrition.
without nutrition there cannot be
health.
without health what Is life?

State Urging Ally Aliens to Enlist.

All Michigan employers Of labor are
being asked by the state war prepar.
edness board to aid the governments
of countries associated with the Uni
ted States in the war with Germany in
recruiting their citizens OF military age
who are working in Michigan.
Aliens working in the United States
are exempt from the selective military
service of the United States by reason
of non-citizenship. Many of these are
of military age and are badly needed
in their home armies-particularl
British. Italian and Canadian subjects.
There is no law, at present, under
which these aliens can be reached and
the state war preparedness board. at
the request of the foreign governments,
has passed a resolution urging Michi-
gan employers to do what they can to
induce aliens in their employ to enlist
in the armies of Americas associates.
Some manufacturers already have
acted and have gone to the extent Of
refusing employment to associated
aliens Of military age.

democratic powers are fighting become
unrealizable. But America has only
to stick to the war until the Ger
man autocracy Is thrown down, by
internal revolution or by force from
outside, and her power and influence
at the peace conference. backed up by
the liberalism Of England, France and
Russia, can reorganize the world.
The message which the statesmen
of the allies would send to the Ameri-
can people, IL they could do so with
out eating their own words and dis
cOuraging opinion at home, would be
this:
"The Germans prepared for this
war, and grabbed the spoils of victory
at the start. They are holding on to
tire US out so that they may keep the
substance, II not the shadow, of what
they have won. Thanks to the subma-
rine, they would have succeeded. But
now America has stepped In to redress
the balance, and her weight will en-
able us to win the victory, II, and only
IL, she throws herself into the struggle
as she did In the sixties. Otherwise,
the war is a draw, and with things as
they stand a drawn war means Ger
man success, and an eventual German
Europe and the downfall of democ'
racy."

Statistics brought to Camp Custer
by French and English officers show
the percentage Of nervous breakdow1s

partly to the fact that the English,

Fuel Administrator Prudden sent
out statement giving the inside Of
the Toledo transaction, in which he
reduced the price demanded to SETS
a ton, computed the saving in that
case alone at $4,000.
On the Port Huron boats the saving,

ed by the dealers for distributing the
coal were cut, Mr. Prudden says, be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. This would
bring the total saving up to 100000.
In the Toledo transaction the $4,000
will be distributed either to the dealer
or the consumer. Some of the dealers,
having the coal billed to them at high
prices, sold it close to cost in order
TO protect the consumer. These deal
