To Clean and Renew
Simply Wash in Boiling Water

Second only to the wonderful utility of the
O-Cedar Mop is it's simplicity. No taking
apart to clean or to renew. Just immerse the
whole mop in bucket of boiling water and
n use the handle to dash the mop up and down.
In few minutes it will be clean. To renew
pour small quantity Of O-Cedar Polish
into the tin container and let the mop stand
in that over night. Then your O-Cedar Mop
is practically as good as new.

railroads in the Illinois case. said the
Illinois State Commission had granted
a freight increase of only 33 1-3 per
cent. in response to the recent order OF
the commission. whereas rates granted
carriers from the South represented an
increase of 25 per cent. from the West
an increase of 35 per cent. and from
the East 40 per cent. This meant. he
added, that three different freight rates
existed in Illinois. as carriers from all
points converged there. The loss to the
carriers under the one-third increase
