way Company are that the change
will mean Il general increase OF about
10 per cent in charges.

Practically every thing but eataoies
and drinks will be first class. snip
ments UP to this time have been made
on a mileage basis.
To Be Tested Later.
This change went into effect de-
spite the petition filed in district court
the day before New Years by the state
of Iowa against the American Railway
Company--a petition similar TO that
filed in several other states at the same
time. AS no bond was filed by the
state the rate can go into effect and

With the states application for an
Injunction to restrain the express
company from putting the new rates
into effect a national question Is
brought to issue, in the opinion OF Dies

whether the United States government
has the authority to fix interstate rates

Judging from the countless preparations

being advertised for the purpose of making

of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our lodies need more

foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
