IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW
What a Heap of Happiness 1t Would
 Bring to Canaan Homes

Hard to do homework with an aching back.

 Backache pains often come from weak kidneys.
 'Twould save much needless woe.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Ask your neikhbor!
 Read what Canaan citizen says:
 Mrs. M. F. Mcdonnell, Reed St., says: My kidneys were in very poor condition and dull, bearing down pains settled in my back. When I moved around the least bit the rains shct through me, making me so miserable I could hardly stand up. Mornings I felt achy and stiff all over and was so dizzy that every thing seemed to be spinning around. I felt weak and nervous and my kid neys were badly disordered.

That uncomfortable possession, 6 conscience, holds us back from many a coveted delight, saves us from many a sin. and drives us in many a path we would never be good enough or un- selfish enough to take if only its chid- ing voice would let us alone. We give ourselves too much credit for our good behavior when we forget that our upbringing has brought into our house Of life a personality we cannot disobey If we would live at peace.

mertal authority made the last wage increase. the labor cost of the rail- roads was about $3 sos, 8,OOO,O0O annual ly. or if continued throughout he year instead of for the eight months during which the wage increases were in ef- feet, the labor cost. on an annual basis, would have been largely in excess of $3,90O, O,WO,OOO-an increase, since the government took charge of railroad wages in the Adamson Act, of approxi- mately S2,450,000 annually.
 In the light of these figures. 1t is manifest that the recent reduction of wages authorized b~ the Labor Board, estimated at from 10 to 12 per cent f no sense meets or solves tn prob lem of labor costs and in way makes 1t possible for the railroads to afford a reduction il. their revenues.
 Thousands of Rates Already Reduced
 Indeed, during the past year there have been between four and five thou sand individual reductions in freight rates. On some railroads the reduc. tons in rates have amounted to more NAAS''' '''S iCNuNAi'Lo III NdStS SO 1oL made, and on many other railroads the reductions In wages allowed no net re- turn on operations, but merely pro- yided against the further accumulation of deficit
 The point Is often made that agricul- ture and other industries are also suf- fering the same immediate difficulties as the railroads, why, therefore do not the railroads take their medicine like anybody else? The answer lies in sev- eral facts:
 l. The railroads were not permitted, as were other industries, to make charges during the years of prosperity, making possible the accumulation of a surplus to tide them over the present extreme diversity. According to the reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the rate of return on property investment of the railroads of the United States for the past several years has been as follows:

AGITATION FOR BETTER FARM
MARKETING WILL NOT DOWN

A severe arraignment of the present
system of marketing produce In New
York city is made by John J. Dillon In
the Rural New Yorker. Mr.. Dillon, as
state commissioner of foods and mar
kets, Is called upon repeatedly to in
vestigate complaints, which lead him
into the details of the subject. Here
are a few paragraphs from his article:
New York state products are dis
eliminated against in the New York
city market. Spectators go TO dis
tant points in other states, make de-
posts on fruits and vegetables, and
manipulate the city market for them.
Produce is systematically quoted below
the selling price.
The theory of the system Is that the
market must MOI be disturbed, and that
1t is not good business to handle two
packages IL the profit on the two can
be made by handling one. Under this
policy the consumer is never to know
when there is a surplus of any pro-
duct, end the price TO her Is kept prac-
tically at the uniform level, no matter
how low 1t goes to the producer. Then
shipments are delayed in the receiving
yards, waste and loss and encouraged,
and when shipments 7ail to pay ex-
penses other shipments are discourage
cd and the food is left to waste on the
farms.
Truckmen can make the most limo
cent mistakes, and repeat them with
surprising regularity. Railroad en-
pIoyes can sidetrack a car OF perish
ables In a local yard, or neglect to I'M
load Ii OF the dock, and apparently no
one is responsible.
The system Is at fault. 1t Is waste
full and extravagant and out of date.
1t Is -honeycombed with graft and de-
ception and fraud.
The files of prosecuting officials are
full of the unsavory records. The files
of the civil and criminal courts are
bulging wit hthem. Justice Jaycox
said In a decree, after hearing volu-
minous evidence. that the system was
"untruthfull, wilful, deliberate, inten-
tional, systematic and fraudulent"
When the farmer protests and de-
|, mands that the state protect him In a
free passage with his food to the hun
/, CRY people of the city the middlemen
shout In righteous indignation that the
) farmer wants to disturb business and
sacred vested interests by political
means. They warn him of the folly
and threaten him with the consequence
OF such a course.
/ Mr.. Dillon's contention is that the
t system is at fault and hould be at
J tackled, not individuals. He further
Z declares hat the element responsible
/ for IL can not be controlled without
/ restrictions on the better element also
i and, fearful of disturbance for them
) selves, they, too, oppose any change
In the present d%eplorable system.
The whole subject Of the marketing
/ of farm products has caused an aglta-
ton throughout the country which will
not down. A most encouraging sigr
is that men of breadth and large cali.
Der are taking a leading part in work.

TOP KICK QUITS

Sarge ! severed his connections with
Troop "a" this week and left Wednes-
day for his home in Pennsylvania.
Sgt. Zerphy has been "Top Kick" for
the past ten months and in that posi-
ton has done wonderful work for the
troop. His previous long military ex-
perience made It possible for him to
give the men some excellent dope
and training which they could not
have received otherwise. The troop
will sure miss the sergeant and every
member of the organization was sorry
to see him go. AS a token of their
appreciation for his efforts with the
troop, the men presented Sgt. Zerphy
with a beautiful gold fob engraved
with the inscription "Trip. A list Cav
