Interstate Commerce Commission.
These records show from Septem-
ber 1. 1920. to August 81, 1921. the
railroads earned a net operating in
come of s523.5ss.172. which was
equivalent to 2.S1 per cent. Of their
valuation. This is all the income
the roads had. This figure covers all
railroads in the United States. Some
Of the roads did not have any net
income but faced deficit as the re-
suit of a years operation from Sep
tember 1, 1920, to August 81. 1921.
During the second year of their
operation under the Esch- -Cummins
Act-Sept. l, 1921, to Aug. 81. 1923
the net operating income of all
railroads was s7s1,673,377. This
was equivalent to Al per cent. of
their valuation. Again this income
was all the income they received.
The government did not add one
penny to their income either year in
order TO make up the difference be-
tween what they earned and what
they would have earned had their
earnings been 5 II per cent on their
valuation Again, during this second
year. some roads did not earn any
net income.
The latest data upon this matter
is that furnished by the records Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the month of November,
1929, and for the first eleven months
Of the calendar year 1922. This data
shows that the railroads during the
first eleven months of 1922 earned a
net operating income Of 402 per
cent. OF their valuation or $693.
700 During the first eleven months
of the year 1922 the roads of the
eastern district had net operating
income which was equivalent of 4.51
per cent on Their valuation. During
the first eleven months of 1922, the
roads of the southern district had a
net operating income Of 4.92 per
cent. OF their valuation. During this
period the roads OF the western dis
trict had a net operating income of
4.31 per cent. of their net valuation. !

valuation Of railroad properties.
Under the provisions of the Esch-
Cummins Act Itself, this guarantee
stopped September l. 1920. Since
that date there has been no guaran-
tee by the government of the income
of any railroad. Since that time the
government has not paid to any
railroad one penny in the form of
any guarantee. The proof that the
railroads have not been guaranteed
any income by the government and
have not been paid anything by the
government since September l, 1920.

In making known the intention ot
the Thacher Laboratories to give
limited number of free samples of
this valuable medicine to men. wo-
men and children in Wilmington and
New Castle county, officials of THIS
company made the following eX-
PLANTATION:
THE public is constantly offered
various proprietary tonics, tablets,
etc. which are claimed to produce
marvellous results in overcoming
disease and weakness and in build
ing up strength and weight. Many
of these preparations do bring some
relief. and while probably none OF
them do any harm, so many of these
remedies fail to accomplish the de-
sired results that suffering people
have grown tired of wasting their
money on every new nostrum that
springs up"
THACHER'S PLAN SAFE.
DIR. Thacher's Liver and Blood
Syrup is not to be confounded with
the ordinary patent medicine. This
great prescription is composed only
of medicinal ingredients long recog-
nized for their superior powers In
overcoming the diseases caused by
improper functioning of the liver
stomach and bowels and the impur-
tiles that poison the blood. And by
combining these beneficial drugs the
wonderful properties of these vari-
Gus ingredients are held in solution
without losing one particle of their

pie proof of the merit Of this cele-
brated medicine of DR.. Thacher's

but through results obtained in actual
cases over a period of many years.
still 1t is our desire to further dem
onstrate TO the people of this sec
ton that Dr. Thacher's Liver and
Blood Syrup is something entirely
different from the commonplace
remedies.

waits on beauty. Drink two glasses
of water between all meals. The old
time glass of lot water before break
fast cannot be improved on.
Treating the Skin.
Use a nourishing skin food. Pat
it in gently, using the two middle fling
ers. Use an upward movement from
the chin to the nose on either side OF
the mouth, around the contour of the
jaw and the muscle in front of the
cars. Use the back of the hand TO pat,
on either side under the chin. holding
the head in a normal but relaxed posi-
ton.
Tap gently around the eyes and fore
head. After removing with a soft cloth
the cream which has not been absorbed,
run ice over the face, then dry and
dust the skin with n healing powder.
For tired eyes wiring a pad of alb
sorbent cotton in cold water and place
over the eyes, renewing as it becomes
warm.
Use Cleansing Cream.
Use cleansing cream on the face in
stead of soap and water-an oily
cream but one free from animal fats.
Follow this with a mild astringent TO
take away the oiliness and close the
pores.
Miss Gray does not believe in mas
sage, hot water applications, SHINING,
peeling or mud treatments.
Beauty treatments should be found
ed on common sense and there should be
nothing mysterious or unnatural about
them" she states.

When does a woman begin to show
her age?
The wise one never does, answers
Dorothy Gray, the beauty sculptures.
Not so, however, with the one who

nature have its way.
To the latter, the sculptures says,
the years will begin first to leave their
marks at about % if the woman lives
In a hurried, noisy city, particularly
New York. The leisurely, slnall-town
woman will escape until she is 80.
"You can stall off age indefinitely
If you will fill your beauty reservoirs
instead of draining them," continues
Miss Gray.

Keeps her body slim, her skin smooth
and her mind active.
Prevention Is Best.
The first wrinkle and the second
chin are more amendable to proven

The chin and neck are first 10 reg

heavy and the throat too full. or the
