TREATY DELAY HARMFUL.

Two of these uncertainties, name ly, the question of final disposition Of the Peace Treaty and the enactment of railroad 1egislation,\ have distinct possibilities of working decidedly against the market, if un-avorably acted upon.
 Should ratification of the Peace Treaty become a matter for settle ment so far in the future as the elections of 1920, there can scarce ly be a doubt but that grievous harm will be done in industry, in finance and in the various social relations.
 Farseeing business men all over the country have become aroused to the necessity of putting the treaty through, even if somewhat objection able compromises have to be accept ed for they realize, perhaps more than any one else, that if labor Is to be kept in full employment and plants are to be worked to their war expanded capacity, Europe's house

900 year necessary to fulfill the promise of the President and Con- gress. The solution is simple. The increased cost of transportation should be distributed upon those who use it and not upon the public gen. orally in the shape of taxes.
 The freight rates should have been increased a year ago to meet this deficiency which was then apparent to practically every railroad man. It should be done now, but only after a most careful consideration, in which shippers and the interstate Conn., merce Commission should be invited to participate.
 The people of the United States in 1918 were taxed to the extent of ap- proximately 25o,OO0,OO0, and in 191s it looks as if they would be taxed to the extent of approximately $350, ,000,- 900 more, total of S600,0OO, O,000, which represents the governments loss in running the railroads and which should have been paid by those who use the transportation.
 The sooner this is rectified the sooner will the railroads be placed upon sound basis and the promise of the President and Congress full filled.

USERS SHOULD BEAR BURDEN
 OF RAILROADS
By E G. AUCKLAND, President, New York, New Haven 6 Hartford Railroad Co

naANI1OTu IhtSllTCt4O SO.
 When the President took the rail- roads on December 2s, 1917, he prom ised by a proclamation to return them in as good condition and in as complete equipment as they then were. He reiterated this statement in an address to Congress a week later and Congress confirmed it in the passed after much discussion, March 21, 1918.
 If the President and Congress will keep this promise the railroads will be satisfied, but the promise is not kept if the railroads are returned with their net earning power so de. pleted that they cannot pay their bills.
 Speaking for the New England railroads, expesles have increased about 75 per cent. and revenues have increased about 80 per cent. The result is that whereas prior to Federal control out Of every dollar earned the New England railroads as whole paid out 7sc for labor, fuel, materials and taxes. and had 22c for interest. rentais.ss.diyidends and other charges to keep themselves solvent and make their securities attractive for invests -11ent. Now if returned they would have to put out 95c for the former and have but Sc for the latter. This aggregates a deficiency of more than s20 900, 900 per year necessary to keen the roads solyent and s22-aa0--

Peel Off The Old Skin;
 Bring Out The New

You know that beneath that muddy, over-red or blotchy complex ion you have a skin that's clear, soft and white. If you could only have this more beautiful skin exposed to view instead of the horrid old skin you now behold in your mirror! You can and by a very simple, harmless pro- cess which you can use yourself. Get an ounce of common mercolized wax at your druggists and this evening spread a thin coating of it over your face. Tomorrow morning wash it off with warm water. Small powder-like particles of the lifeless top skin will come off with the wax. Repeat this daily until all the worn-out scarf skin has been absorbed. Then you'll have a lovelier, healthier looking complex ion than you now think possible. Chaps, pimples, spots, freckles or other surface disfgurements are of course removed with the skin itself Adv.

UNITED STATES IS FAVORED BY
 THIS CHILEAN

Santiago, Chile, Jan. e--''why I arh -Yankophile' is the subject of an article contributed to Ultimas Noti- cias by a Chilean who has visited the the United States. Some of the reas- ons he gives for liking the United States are:
 Because when a person falls down nobody laughs.
 When in the street a person steps on anothers toes. they do not insult each other.
 The shopkeepers can leave their deliveries on the doorstep.
 People keep in line at ticket off, fees and have respect for each others place in line.
 Everybody takes a bath.
 People have only one surname.
 There is profound respect for the police. The public fear the police and not the police the public.
 The people know how to walk in the streets, always passing to the right and they do not stop to talk.
 There is only "first-class'' on rail- road trains and special cars for smok- CTS.
 Drunkards in that country are an extinct species.
 The name doesn't make the man, but that man the name.
 It is a sign of i'll breeding not to respect the opinions of others. (There are two hundred religions in that country).
 Youths of IS are in the universi- ties, and not in the stock exchange or saloons.
 Democracy co-exists with the gov- ernment.
 The men know how to sing and are not bashful about 1t.

Cincinnati man discovers drug that loosens corns so
 they lift out.

Local druggists are having a tre- mendous call for freeZone, the drug which is said to shrivel a corn, root and all, without any pain.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness at once, and shortly the en- tire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers.
 This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bottles. which is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn from one's feet. It is 8 sticky substance which dries at once and does not inflame or even ir- ritate the surrounding tissue or skin. There is no excuse for anyone invit- ing death by infection or lockjaw from cutting their corns now.-Adv.
