(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Continua-
ton OF private ownership of electric
railways and protection Of private cap
ital invested in local transportation
was recommended in a brief filed
today with the federal electric rail-
way commission by Bentley w. War
rem, counsel for the committee Of 100
Of the American Electric Railway as
ISOLATION.
The commission which has made an
exhaustive study of problems of the
electric street railways, probably will
report its findings in President Will
son this month. The brief declared
that "the confidence of the investor in
electric railway investments has been
destroyed not because of a temporary
depression of the business, but by
reason Of the fact that conditions
surrounding the investment have been
and are now such as to prohibit as
surance of either its safety or ade.
Quate return"
To safeguard the interest of inves-
tors, the committee suggested the
enactment of a measure providing a
flexible automatic rate of fare based
upon the cost of service, including a
fair rate of return, and further re-
ward based upon efficiency in opera.

eleven YEARS OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
FINALLY RELIEVED
Randolph Co., Ind, Farmers
Joints Ached so, Bad He
Could Not Sleep, But Had to
Get Up and Walk the Floor.
Declares Dreco Wiped Out
Every Pain for Him After
He Had Tried Many Other
Remedies.

For the past eleven years I have
not known what it was to be free from
rheumatism" are the words of that
hlsnly esteemed farmer, Mr.. Terrell
Clemens. of Union Port, Randolph
county, Indiana.
MY back ached constantly, and was
so stiff I could hardly bend over NV
joints ached so badly at night that I
could not sleep but would walk the
floor. My kidneys were acting bad,
and my liver was sluggish. l tried
everything l heard of that was good
tor rheumatism and aching joints, but
they failed to do me good.
One day | was in Muncie and heard
a lot of talk about Dreco and the mar.
Eelous good it was doing for the folks
around there, so 1 bought some Dreco,
took it home with me and started TAX
ing 1t. That proved to be the best
money l ever spent for soon my joints
began to grow easy and before many
days passed l was free from pain;
something l hadn't known for years.
The pains have not returned, either.
SO I'm very happy over my deliver
ance. My liver has been worked off
we'll and my kidneys regulate. Dreco
sure is one grand medicine"
Dreco acts on the bowels and re-
lieves constipation, thereby removing
the cause of many troubles. 1t will be
noticed after taking Dreco. the head
aches fail to appear; the nerves are
soothed, sound sleep is induced; the
appetite increases; no more dizzy
spells: the stomach digests the food,
without having gas to follow. and the
kidneys perform their duty Of strain
ing the poisons from the blood, there
by putting a stop to rheumatism and
other disorders.
Mr.. Powers, the we'll known Dreco
expert, has headquarters at Thistle
thwaites drug store, to meet the local
public and explain the merits of this
great remedy, See him today.-Adv.

Following JudsOn's glance O'Reilly
beheld an emaciated figure lying in tn,
shade of nearby guava bush. Tn,
man was clad in filthy rags, his face
was dirty and overgrown with q
months beard; pair of restless eyes
stared unblinkingly at the brazen sky
His lips were moving; from them is
sued steady patter of words. but 9th
erwise he showed no sign of life.
"You said he was starving" Johnnie
dismounted and lent Judson hand
with his task.
'That's what l thought at first, but
he's sick. l suppose it's that Internal
dungeon fever. We can swing him be-
tween our horses, and"
Judson looked up to discover that
Johnnie was poised rigidly, his mouth
open, his hands halted in midair The
sick mans voice had risen, and O'Reil-
ly, with peculiar expression of
amazement upon his face, was strain
ing his ears TO hear what he said.
'Eh? What's the matter?" Judson
inquired.
For moment O'Reilly remained
frozen in his attitude, then without n
word he strobe to the sufferer. He bent
forward, staring into the vacant, up
turned face. A cry burst from his
throat, a cry that was like sob, and,
kneeling, he gathered the frail, filthy
figure into his arms.
"Esteban !" he cried. "Estebanl This
is O'Relly. O'Rail-ye Don't you know

Such eagerness. such thankfulness.
such passionate pity were in his
friends hoarse voice that Judson drew
closer. He noticed that the faintest
flame of reason flickered for an instant
in the sick mans hollow eyes, then
they began to rove again, and the same
rustling whisper recommended O'Reil-
ly held the boy tenderly in his arms;
tears rolled down his cheeks as he i'm

Other men were assembling now.
The column was ready to move, but
Judson signaled to Colonel Lopez and
made known the identity of the sick
stranger. The colonel came forward
swiftly and laid hand upon O'Reil-
ly's shoulder. saying:
"Sol You were right, after all. Es-
teban Varona didn't die. God must
have sent US to San Antonio to deliver
him."

huskily. "Those Spaniards Look
