A few prosecutions of men engaged in de-

Freight Rates and H. c. of L.

Figures compiled by the Illinois Central
railroad should reassure those who have feared
that the freight rate increase recently granted
by the interstate commerce commission will
result in another important raise in the cost
CT living. The distribution of the added freight
revenue of the transportation companies will
be so spread out, that there should be no ap-
preciable difference to the ultimate consumer.
This is particularly interesting and gratifying,
and more than this it is estimated that the
added revenue will make possible improve
ment in service that eventually should mean
a reduction in the cost Of necessities
Statisticians show that the increase in
freight rates on pair of meh's shoes shipped
from Chicago to a point within 200 miles, will
be half cent The increase on q pair Of
women's shoes will be 4-10 Of cent The
added cost Of shipping will be $40 of cent
1t will be 1-5 Of a cent on q woman's summer
DRESS and $40 Of cent on her winter coat
Other items Of wearing apparel are in pro-
portion.
The increase in freight on a 10-pound pail
Of lard from Chicago will, it is figured, be $40
OF cent. The increase on . dozen bananas
from New Orleans will be Y cent. The raise
in freight on a A-pound sack Of -four from
Minneapolis will be 2 cents. It will cost IN
cents more to get 10 pounds Of sugar or 10
pounds of coffee from New Orleans. Gasoline
from Whiting will cost v cent more gallon
Coal from Indiana mines will cost So cents q
ton more than formerly for freight
| 1t is perfectly plain from those figures that
added freight on most articles used by the
Ultimate consumer will be only small frac.
ton, of cent, SO small that it should be easily
absorbed in many cases by the middlemeu
without affecting the citizen.
Any dealer who begins to make use of the
increased freight rates as an argument in de-
tense Of materially higher prices. will be un
der suspicion of taking advantage Of an oppor
tunity that apparently does not warrant suct
action.

Well, after a few weeks torture

George was for exploring the attic
or picking pears OF the rose bushes
for a week or more. Finally, the
endocarditis began to subside and
then George pulled his really big
stunt-he developed a beautiful
double pneumonia. Aunt thought he
must have been exposed to the cold

in the spring. We doctors, in our
chubby heartless way, were delight

the sputum, and others from the
