Government Operation Criticised
Railroad Accommodations Diminished
and Rates of All Kinds Increased.
From Leslie's.

The first thing the government did when
it took over the railroads was to do what
the railroads had been forbidden to do I'M
der penalty of the antitrust law. The gov
eminent pooled the earnings of the rail
roads, established the use of joint terminals
and combined the competing roads. All this
would have been in direct violation of the
Sherman antitrust law had it been done by
the railroads themselves.
Then the government cut off some Pull
mans and observation cars, discontinued
some of the fastest and most popular
trains, ceased distributing free timetables
or folders" which had always been given
so literally by the railroads to ainquiring
passengers, restricted the dining-car service
and summarily put an end to many things
that the railroads always had done as COM
peting lines in their desire to secure the
patronage of the public by giving the best,
quickest and most luxurious service.
Next the government raised freight and
passenger rates to unheard-of figures,
though the railroads had been forbidden per-
mission to make even a moderate increase.
Passenger rates on Pullmans were almost
doubled, and on ordinary trains increased
by so per cent. Freight rates advanced from
25 to 40 per cent.
For the first time in our history passen-
gers were divided into classes, as in Eu-
rope, we nau TWO classes: FIRST, thOSe that
rode in the coaches at three cents a mile
and, second, those that rode in the Pullmans
at three and one-half cents a mile. Before
first-class passenger could ride in Pull
man he was obliged to buy his train ticket
often at great Inconvenience.
The a la carte service in the dining cars
was abolished, and every one was compel
ed to eat a meal and pay from dollar and
upward for it. The man, woman or child
who wanted cup of tea and a slice of
toast in a dining car paid one-dollar for it
all the same. All these inconvenience and
hardships were accepted without a murmur
by patriotic public because we were at
war. Now, after the war is over, and when
patrons of the railroads are eager for the
restoration of the old order of things, Mr.
McAdoO suddenly asks for five years more
in which to experiment with government
control.

Financial experts have been trying to
solve the cost Of the world war, and have
reached the conclusion that the direct out
lay of the various belligerents has amount
ed to Sl55,0O0,000. This does not include
losses to property, which amounts to many
more billions, nor any other secondary de-
struction of credits. This indicates that those
who held that war was too expensive, and
would never take place had false basis for
their philosophy.

MRS. BASS PROPOSES WAYS OF
 COORDINATION AND COOPERATION

Washington, D. C.-Immediately after the Chicago meeting of the Democratic National Committee men and women, the chairman of the com mittee. Hon. Homer s. Cummings, several of the executive heads, and Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the Women's Bureau, started on an eX- tended tour of the West.
 Mems political organization is what publishers call "old stuff" but every where the women have gathered around Mrs. Bass eagerly, anxious to know the party plans on behalf of the newer voters. Even veteran vot- CTS. like those of Colorado, Utah and California, arc not sure that they know the very last word in political work. Indeed, the very fact that they have been voting long enough so that 1t Is quite a matter of course with them accounts for a certain amount of in difference on the part of the average voter. Men have always had to com bat this condition, and woman are looking for some plan by which to anticipate and prevent it. Any new method by which to interest and hold the voter is more than welcome.
 Mrs. Bass has put before them at least three propositions which are new in most of the states. First she urges the "fifty-fifty'' plan of organ ization. which provides for q com mitteewoman wherever there is q committeeman. This means work and only those who are really devoted to the party and willing to make the effort that tells on election day (but does not go on to an accompaniment of brass bands and much pleasing publicity should never be elected to the seemingly humble but tremen- dously important office of precinct committee man or woman.
 Next she has urged the appoint ment of woman to take the lead In each Congressional district, for the National Committees connection with the local organization begins with the election of Congressman and Senators.
 Lastly, she has explained the edu- cational department just created with Mrs. Antoinette Funk as its director. with which women are already fla miliar in their clubs, and it appeals to every intelligent and patriotic woman, because 1t means that she will be q better citizen.
 In every city and town where these officials of the committee have stopped, Mrs. Bass has met with some of the leading women, who have promised her their hearty cooper alton to the end that the party may be successful in the coming cam

To Overcome Redness,
 Tan, Freckles, Blotches

If your skin Is unduly reddened. tanned or freckled. just dab a little pure mcrcolized wax on the face and allow 1t to remain over night. When you wash off the wax in the morning fine. fally. almost invisible particles of CutiCle come with it. Repeating this daily. the entire outer skin is ab- sorbed. but so gradually and gently. there's not the slightest hurt or in conveniende Even the stubbornest frecklca are affected. The underly- ing skin which forms the new com plexon ts so clear, fresh and youth ful-looking. you'l marvel at the transformation. It's the only thing known to actually discard an aged, faded. muddy or blotchy complexion. one ounce of mercolized wax. procur- able at any drug store, is sufficient in most cases.-Adv.

She Sings While She
 Works
Now.AppreciateS What CINOT Has Done in Restoring Her Health and Happiness.

Mrs Alex Smith of Jersey City. N. J., wants her friends to know that she IS happy and cheerful and she spares no pains in telling them how the return of her optimism has come about.
 About five years ago." writes Mrs. smith. "I was attacked one day with u severe headache. Before that tim @ ] did not know what a headache was. Soon afterwards another headache came upon me and before l know it I seemed to have headaches every day. Dizzy spells developed and while do- inE my homework, many times during the day l had to support myself with chair or q table. lest I fall on the foor. On shopping trips and while visiting friends it was the same. The dizzy spells embarrassed me very much.
 T had had trouble with coustipa- tion and billiousncss, but little thought that this was the cause of my misery. l became extremely nervous was; fast losing all pride in my home and as | look back to those dark days l have often thought and wondered how my rooms must have been in a terri ble condition-unkept and filtered up with everything. But | did not have ks enough 10 but I just couldn't keep at it. Housework no longer interested me.
 My friends suggested everything that they knew of. l tried many rem edtes and was upon the point of giv- ing up when n friend insisted that I try CINOT. At first ! laughed il off. But my friend was insistent. so to humor her I bought a bottle of CINOT. Since then I have taken three bottles and there Is never a time when l am without if. The relief Is wonderful. his remedy is worth more than its weight in gold for it has re- stored back my health. l advise every woman to try CT&OT. Please use my name to recommend 1t as the worlds greatest remedy"

paign. Judging from newspaper re- ports and from letters coming in to Headquarters, the western tour is proving most successful.
 There seems to be little doubt that the federal suffrage amendment will be ratified in time for the women of the entire country to take 0 part in next years campaign. Following the appeal issued by the Democratic Ma tional Committee after its unanimous tndorsement of the resolution, these states have ratified:
 Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Texas
 Heroic efforts are being made to prevail upon the legislature of Ala bama, which convetes July 8, to rat fly this summer. The Georgia legis- lature will also be in session, but as they have an annual assembly in that state there is time to act next year if they do not ratify now. With Ala baIna the case is quite different, for it's legislature meets quadrennially.
 Extra session will be called in Maine and Colorado this fall for the purpose of securing ratification, and they are reports of special sessions fin New Jersey and other states. Iowa will summon its legislators in Janu- ary, 1920. The regular sessions next year are as follows:
 Kentucky, January, 1920,
 Louisiana, May, 1920.
 Maryland, January, 1920.
 Mississippi, January, 1920.
 Rhode Island, January, 1920.
 South Carolina, January, 1920.
 The governors of the states are showing a willingness to call sessions if by so doing they can be sure that the amendment will be adopted in time. Governor Bartlett of New Hampshire has agreed to call a spe- cfal session this fall if 35 other states seem reasonably sure to ratf- fy the amendment in season to ena- ble women to vote at the next pres idential election. Governor Goodrich of Indiana says he will call a. ses- sion in August or September
 It is certain that the Democratic states should keep pace with those that are strongly Republican. Woman suffrage is inevitable, and there is every reason to believe that the Dem ocratic party has more to gain, rel atively speaking, than the Republi- can party through the extension of the franchise to women. Every Ma tiona1 Committeeman should feel 1t her special business to use every means in her power to obtain early ratification, in accordance with the resolutions adopted at the National Committees Chicago meeting

Household Hints

Mothers of boys who constantly forget to don their rubbers +hero- fore wade through mud puddles, may Ike to try the following easy way cf making the soles of their shoes wa- terproof. Varnish the soIes with the best copal varnish; as it dries repeat the process until the pores are filled and the surface shines like polished mahogany. These soles can not pos- sibly wet through.
 To make wall paper stay smoothly upon an uncefled wall, first cover every crack with strips of old sheet | ing or similar stuff, torn into strips | wide enough to cover the cracks com Ipletely and adhere we'll to each edge. | When this is dry then paper. The 1 expansion and contraction of the
 lumber will go all the same, so that it will in way interfere with the
 wall paper, because 1t will be behind
 the cloth.
 l To save marking the table, etc, have a few pieces of common glass to put under your flower vases. Ii the edges of the glass are rubbed
 with sandpaper it will not scratch the polished wood, or it can be laid on the embroidered covers and while | 1t will be almost invisible 1t will keer all dampness from the varnish.

THE NEW CLOTHES

Dark prints of voile are so similar In appearance to printed Georgette that in many cases where the original intention was to buy a Georgette the popular voile Is substituted. Taffeta and plain Georgette seem to vie in favor. The decreasing demand for printed Georgette Is marked. Flesh crepe de chine and net dresses tend to show the style trend for social functions.

Short sleeves, deep straight cuffs. The neck and sleeves are decorated with black jet bugle beads. A smock waist of tan crepe is shirred on a blue ribbon at the round neck. The sleeves are set in like raglan sleeves. The sleeves are long. The armholes and bottom of the sleeves are trimmed with a blue and white beaded band. The sleeves are full and are shirred on a ribbon at the wrist.
