RAILROAD MEN SEEM WELL SATISFIED

Washington, July 3.--tSpecial )-In- cident to the final agreement of the railway brotherhoods to accept the 1 $500 000,000 wage increase recently granted by the labor board, it is gem orally conceded that the interstate commerce commission will grant pas senger as we'll as freight rate increases. In this connection, it is though very probable that the passenger rate in the southern states will be raised to 31s cents. An idea obtains in Washington that the necessary boost in freight rates, ranging from IS to 40 per cent. will cause a great revival in ocean and gulf traffic to the benefit of all ports.
 There has never been consideration given in Washington to the alleged dis satisfaction on the part of the broth erhoods to the s600,0o0,000 grant. One billion was demanded. But the pre- sumption is that the brotherhoods asked for the greater sum in hope of receiving approximately the lesser.
 Since the publication of the award the interstate commerce commission has been flooded with telegrams from labor and the owners of railroads in- quiring regarding adjustments and in . vestigation into the necessity of raising rates. But not word has been re- ceived from the public which will bear the burden.
 Spokesmen of the administration in form correspondents of belief on the part of executives of the governmen that the recent award will put an end to the constant and persistent demand of the brotherhoods with threat to strike.
 It is said, also, that the award will remove labor's objection to govern mental boards Tor the adjustment of differences, which render the right to strike relic of other days.

Disease Germs Must Be Eliminated :, From the Blood.

When your skin disease reaches its worst stage and the fiery burning causes you to scratch and scratch in an effort to obtain relief, there is many a sleepless night in store for you.
 It Is nothing more than folly to ex- rect to be cured by the use of local treatments. such as ointments. salves, lotions etc. Such remedies may afford some temporary relief, but you want n,ore than relief; you want remedy that will rid you forever of the tors turing disorder.

THE GROWING CHILD By the |. S. Public Health Service
Parasitic Skin Diseases

There are certain easily communicated skin affections frequently found among school children which because of their specially annoying and disagreeable fea- lures should be carefully guarded against These are scabies (itch), ringWoun and pediculosis capitas (head lice)
 Scabies or itch, is due to a minute an- imal parasite, which burrows into the skin and causes intense itching The con sedtent scratching results in the char acteristic eruption. which is found chiefly between the fingers, on the front of the wrists, at the bend of the elebow, and or the marginal folds of the armpfts If | child is seen to be scratching, particular. ly if there is a pustular eruption on ths hands, he should be at once examined fol itch The disease is communicated by contact with the child affected or yitE anything he has used. Hence it can b, readily seen how easily itch can bt spread in a school or family unless ey cry possible precaution is taken. Fhs child should be excluded from school m til the disease is cured which need no be long if proper measures are enpieyeS in the home. It is likely that othel members of the family will be affected and every one having the disease mus be treated until cured. asd the undeI clothing, bedding. towels, and anythin, which has come in contact with the bod, of each case must be boiled or bakee each time they are washed UItisss these precautions are taken a constan n re-infection will be taking place and tn, | iTtfwection will continue indefinitely.

THE BIG APPLE CROP.

Just how many have given any thought to national apple day, or ,natioral apple week, there is no way of ascertaining. Probably the actual number was small because there was no brass band or fire works to direee attention thereto, but there is nevertheless reason for paying due considera ton to a greater utiliza- tion Of this fruit crop.
 Apples are among the common and popular fruits. An apple a day can un- questionably be regarded as a contribut- ing factor in keeping the doctor away, willie the raising and marketing of ap- ples occupies the time and attention of a large number of people throughout the country.
 One of the purposes of apple day was to direct the attention of the people to the fact that it has been an excellent apple year and that there is at the pres | ent time an excess of 6.000,000 barrel; above normal on the e.sterN market That with the wind storms and the con t.nued warm weather means that largJ amount of this extra big crop is going tc waste unless there are r ore general eff forts to utilize it. Such would mean { loss boSh to the producers and the con suners that ought to be avoided.
 With fair price for this big cror there ought to be no difficulty in movins it. A barrel of apples in 9 home is by no means a luxury at a proper price but what has invariably prevented 1t is th' fact that the system of distribution j. such that the consumer isn't given chance to make an advantageous pur chase but is confronted with those varie ties selling five and six for quarter Put the consumer in touch with thos s. 0ON. GOO barrels of surplus fruit at de cent figure and there ought to be no diff culty ir stopping the waste.
