SEEKS UNIFIED
RAIL CONTROL
Shippers Representative Says
Private Operations Has
Fallen Down.

Washington, July 6-The inter
state commerce commission was ask
ed today by Clifford Thorne, of CHI
cago, representing shippers, to rec
ommend unified operation of rail-
roads, under some plan analogous TO
that created by the railroads in 1917"
'In that way, and in that way only,
will the carriers be able to function, "
said he.
While government operation has
been condemned by both railroads
and shippers as an extravaganza and
costly burden, Mr.. Thofne said that
within three months after the return
of the roads to private control they
had fallen down in operation.
= "And they are here begging for the
most stupendous rate increase ever
known in this or any other country
on the face Of the EARTH" Mr.. Thorne
declared. Further, they state that
they have reached a place in their op
erations which might be called "a con-
dition of 'saturatino where more bus
mess means a loss in net revenue in
stead of a gain. That is the most
astounding confession of inefficiency
that / have ever heard from the lips
of a railroad man in recent years"
Private operation is on trial, Mr..
Thorne argued, and if the railroads
do not function the people will be
forced to take them back, although
they do not wish to do SO.
Whatever the trouble confronting
the carriers, whether it he the labor
situation, shortage of equipment or
other difficulties, the remedy proposed
is invariably an increase in rates, de-
clared Mr.. Thorne.

dreri. In fact, less milk is drunk by
farm boys and girls, taking the whole
country over, than by city children sta
that milk is cheaper and freshersin the
/ country than in the city. It is said that
this accounts for the fact that the pro-
1 portion of underanOuriShed children in
the country is larger than in the city.
TO get more children, both in the city
and in the country. to drink more milk
J is the endeavOr this year of the dairy
division OF the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, cooperating with
the state agricultural colleges. During
the last year six milk campaigns have
been carried on in Connecticut, four in
New Jersey, six in Massachusetts and
one in each of dozen other states.
The increase in milk consumption fol.
lowing a campaign has beesI from 4 to
33 per cent,
Iowa, during the last ,six months, has
been making special effort to improve
the health of its school children in the
state by inducing them to drink more
milk. The work started last October
with a milk week. During the six
days Of lectures and demonstrations
$1,000 people We're reached directly and
100000 Indirectly. Libraries, schools
and clubs co.operated in heswork, and
during the week $500 school children
wrote essays on the value of milk.
In one Iowa. county among sos rural
school children only 144 drank. any milk
at all before the campaign, and but
brought 1t to school for lunch. Since
then an increase in consumption Of milk
amounting to Is to Is per cent has been
made in the various counties in the
state and thousands OF rural school
children are now carrying milk TO

! Secretary of Agriculture e. T. Mere

received they could buy all the railroads

the mines and qllarries in the United

Years

You we're taught at school
that your body undergoes a
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without a moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into q
physical condition that the tis-
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow old.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evil
dence Of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
If you are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical
Iet-down"-if you are losing
your old time pep" vim and
vigor-if high tension energy
and nervous strain are begin
ming to tell on you-it's a sure
sign that you are growing ~sid"
too old foryouryears. You've
reached that stage where your
vital forces need rebuilding.
