Railroad To Cut
Rates Starting June |

Washington, April big slashes
in passenger rates to encourage sum-
mer travel to all of the nations
breathing spots, will go into effect
June l, it was stated today at the
railroad administration.
Reductions are expected to reach
as much as 80 per cent of the war
rate increase, or a virtual return to
summer excursion privileges of pre-
war days.
Railroads have been asked to spend
81 100000 in advertising the new
rates. A nationwide newspaper and
magazine campaign will commence
April IS, it is said.
Every effort will be put forth to
encourage the people to travel, it
was explained at the administration
offices.
The rate s1ashes will be in effect
until September 80, according to pre-
sent plans.
Biggest cuts will be west of the
Mississippi over long journeys. Thus,
hundreds are exected to take advant-
age of the opportunity to visit the
national park, Colorado, and the
Grand Canyon.
In the east special rates are ex-
pected to attract thousands to Atlan-
tic City, the Jersey coast and New
England coast resorts, and summer
colonies. The northern Michigan
and other great lakes resorts also
will be favored.
There will be two classes of fares.
One will be those on tickets limited
to three months and the other tickets
limited to IS days.

AVOID THAT DOUBLE CHIN"
Investigation Has Shown Il Can Be
Controlled II Not Entirely Done
Away With.

Among the other strange ideas ad-
vanced in this era Of strangeness u
the one which would make 1t appear
that the personal form Of plumpness
known as q double chin Is not strictly
patriotic. The critic. presumably
person of lathlike build, declares that
q double chin Is an indicator Of dis
regard for conservation. Generous
feeders are usually marked by this
6eShy excess.
OF course nobody wants . double
chin. As far as known it never has
found q welcome. Nobody desires to
lose the precious neck line Of youth.
A double chin with its curving crease
is quite enough Of an anxiety without
coupling it with an intimation OF dis
regard for loyalty.
Happily the charge has brought q
quick response. An investigator de-
clares that the double chin can be con-
trolled. and very largely mittgated. 1t
depends largely upon the carriage and
pose OF the head. The person who
has q repeated chin, or Is threatened
with one, should recall and practice
DR.. Edward Everett Hale's famous ad-
Vice: Look up. not down." The per
aon who sits, or stands. Or walks, With
IN erect body and keeps the chin up
tilted. can defy the crease and the fat
y ridges-yea and defy the inAnua.

In Affection's Garden.

In the garden Of our affections
there are certain loyal natures that
continue faithful through all things
a. in the kingdom Of vegetation there
are certain finely organized and sen
sitive growths Of flower and vine,
which are so susceptible to warmth
and light and beauty, that they do
nothing all their lives but look at the
sun. In the dawn. with q sublime
faith, they watch the east for his COM
Ing. Turning on their slender stems
all day long. they follow him as he
makes the circuit Of the sky; and at
nightfall, after he has sunk from
aght. we behold again these flowers,
their faces westward now, with the
dewdrops shining on their petals like
tears gathered In the eyes 0f parted
friendship.-John McLandburkh.

PAID FOR FAULT OF EMPRESS
How Foot. Stunting o. Chinese Women
With its Accompanying Aoonies,
Was Originated.

A small foot was at one time more
greatly desired by the women Of China
than any other item Of feminine beau
ty. How the practice Of stunting
the feet originated Is told BY
Henry Charles Sirr in ~China a. De-
scribed by Great Writer'S" He says:
"The empress Of an emperor, who
reigned in China before the flood,
was found by her nege lord near the
apartment Of one Of the principal off,
GERS of the household. who had the
reputation Of being lady-killer. Re-
ceiying from the emperor q severe
reprimand, the frightened woman
pleaded in her defense that It was not
her fault, but the fault Of her feet.
which were 50 very large they bore
her to the forbidden precincts against
her will. Thereupon the emperor or
dered the fore part Of her feet ampu-
tated. To conceal the fact the en-
press announced that she was to In.
troduce q new fashion Of small feet,
and all about her were ordered to do
likewise.
At six years Of age the Chinese girl
started to curb her feet. The foot.
below the instep, was forced into
line with the leg. the toes then
doubled down under the sole Of the
foot, the big toe being made to over
lap the others. Bandages were then
applied with horrible pressure, and
for six weeks the child suffered In
tolerable agony. After this period
the pain subsided and the child could
tott1r about on the stumps. This Gus
torn was abolished, with other relics
Of early Chinese practices, by royal
edict several years ago.

Winnipeg Commission Takes no
Chances of Men Joining
General Strike.
LEADERS ARE WATCHED
American and Canadian Authorities
Are Gathering Data Before Taking
Into Custody Large Number
Of Radicals.

Winnipeg, June 10.-Because Of its
refusal to agree not to join in the
present Or future sympathetic strikes,
the entire police force Of Winnipeg has
been discharged.
Meanwhile Canadian and United
States authorities are spreading the
net and preparing to tighten 1t on the
band of reds that have led the radi.
cal revolutionary movement here and
in other parts of Canada, under the
guise of the sympathetic strike.
Arrests of the 80 leaders here and
Of those in other cities will not be
made until secret service men of both
countries have got all the data they
need. Then the plan is to deal with
them summarily. None can escape say
the authorities here, the net is COM
plete, and not one red that is wanted
will be permitted to work his way
through the meshes. The plan is to
turn those belonging in the United
States over to the authorities Of that
country and to prosecute summarily
those taken here.
that the failure of the reds to put
over the program in Canada has par
TALLY upset their scheme to seize con-
troll Of the American Federation of
Labor. They had planned to do this
ut the Atlantic City convention now in
session, but the best they now hope
for is to elect the executive commit
tee and leave Gompers and Morrison
still in Office. Then they plan coali-
ton with the Democratic left wing,
the radical labor party, and the Non
partisan league for the forthcoming
national election.
Action dismissing the policemen
was taken by the city police commits
sion, following several deferred con-
siderations Of the question, dating
from the very first day of the trouble.
The policemen's union was held by
the strike committee at the outset Of
the sympathetic strike, which openly
boosted, however, that it could call
out the Boobies" any time it want
ed to do SO, and that they were left on
duty "by permission Of the strike COM
mittee."
When the question was put up to
the policemen by the city commission
they said they would remain on duty,
but reserved the right to join the
strike at any time. The commission
then informed them they would have
to agree as individuals not to join in
sympathetic strikes now or in the flu
ture. The men refused fatty to sign
any such terms.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose Of making
thin people deshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
or men and women who keen1y feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
TO starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency 80 well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome
TRANSFORMATION in the appearance: the in
crease in weight frequently being aston

Increase in weight also carries with IL
q general Improvement in the health
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUIlON: - Although bitro-phoSphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sieepiessness and general weakness it
should not, owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
ooes not desire to put on flesh.

Cunning at a Fox.

While sitting on the bank of small
stream, writes Companion subscriber,
friend and I1heard some hounds bay
ing on the opposite side of the creek.
We were guessing what they might be
chasing, when all at once we saw a
two-thirds-grown rabbit come from the
weeds and slowly walk into the water
until 1t got so deep that he was COM
PEELED to swim. We thought that the
little animal was coming across; but
suddenly he turned upstream and
swan for some two or three rods, and
then he climbed out on the bank and
disappeared In the weeds and under
brush.
A few moments later the hounds
came to the water and lost the trail.
If that were not a piece Of cunning
on the part of Bunny, I am much mis-
taken.-Youth's Companion.
