He the foreign roads = in England and
France the best in Europe and in other Con-

The part railroads have played in the develop

American railroads have achieved high stand

striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world - we
must continue to have the best
But they must grow.
To the $4,000 600, 900 now invested in our
railroads. there will have to be added in the next
few years. to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals. cars and engines electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety Devices the
elimination of grade crossings = and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost of transportation
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work.
men = in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men - the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital to
managers and to the men.
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
II they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun And Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How To Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee Of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you penny unless it re-
moyes the freckles; while if it does give
you a clear complexion the expense is
trihing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-double
strength from any druggist and few
applications should show you how easy
it is to rid yourself of the homely freckles
and get beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than one ounce needed for the
worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarante of money back if
it fails to remove freckles.

BUREAU OF MARKETS
is MOST RELIABLE
Information Given Relative to
Chicago Stock Market.
So Accurate Have Estimates Been
That Shippers and Farmers In All
Sections Place Utmost Conf
denee in Reports.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
CommendatiOn has been voiced by
live stock farmers and the trade con-
corning the work of the United States
bureau Of markets in issuing all tele-
graphic information of a public or
commercial character relative to the
Chicago live stock market. Previous
to the last few months such reports
were sent out promiscuOusly by pri-
vate individuals who, in some cases,
were accused of manipulating the re-
ports in favor of one interest or an
other. At least, this sentiment per-
vaded the trade to the extent that the
live stock industry was injured by the
mere existence of such opinion.
1t was on this account that Uncle
Sam was requested to collect facts and
figures daily about the market cOndi-
tlOns and receipts and to disseminate
this authentic information as widely
as possible by telegraph. The daily
market reports include an estimate Of
the daily receipts of each class of live
stock, this being one Of the important
features Of the service, as trading at
Chicago is based to a large degree on
the Chicago 'run." Furthermore, the
trading on the outside markets is also
determined more or less by the vicissi-
tudes Of the Chicago trade. Hence it
can be seen readily that any serious
in the estimate Of a GER
tain day compared with the actual re-
ceipts, whether intentional or acci-
dental, might influence the entire days
and trading at leading live
stock centers.
Under the system now used in Chi
cago for obtaining figures upon which
to base an accurate estimate, the serv-
Ice is showing marked Improvement
over the previous efforts Of private In
dividuals. The bureau of markets
bases Its estimate on cars reported in
md md d;:s i;:s 80 80 arrive 1y Every ruiirOad
each day and the result of this plan
has been so successful that the ship .
lers and farmers in all sections place .
confidence in the accuracy and rell-
lbility of the government reports. II 1
ustratlve of the accuracy of the gov
reports, many large firms at
he Chicago stockyards, which former
y employed special men to collect this
are now using exclusively
he official estimates of the bureau Of
It is anticipated that the
ederal figures soon will be the only
mes credited at the yards"
