UNITING RAILROADS
IS GIGANTIC ISSUE


The administration is perfecting
plans to force railroads of the coun-
try to consolidate into a score of
large systems, though railroad finan-
ciers and cuckoo editors insist that
"the railroads be let alone"
Many of them are facing bank
ruptcy as a result of making these
properties financial footballs. They
are so Overcapitalized and their
equipment SO run down that to vital
ize them seems a superhuman task:
1t is now proposed to link up the
small railroads with trunk lines. The
latter do not favor this plan. They
are making money and are unwilling
to share income and business with
other concerns less fortunately stu
ated. The insiders" of these trunk
lines are receiving juicy dividends at
the present time from railroad equip
ment companies with whom they are
interlocked. These equipment COM
panies make their own charges, and
are not questioned by government
board.
The transportation act permits
railroads to unite. The interstate
commerce commission has evolved a
system of voluntary unity, but little
progress has been made. The large
roads object to being linked up with
non-profit roads. Hence the change
of policy by the administration,
which now talks of forcing consolida-
tions.
Rail Center's Fears.
Other elements besides stockhold-
ers' profits, however, makes the
question a bewildering one. Consol-
idations will affect economic inter
ests of localities, and work pro-
found changes in many industrial
centers. Kansas City, for instance,
fears that this second railroad center
of the United States will be side
tracked for either st. Louis or Chi
cago. Senator Reed of Missouri is
quoted as saying that consolidation
will make Kansas City a whistling
station"
The same protest is heard in prac-
tically every proposal of unification.
No issue that will be considered by
the next congress has more angles,
interests and contradiction than the
railroad problem. It is agreed that
the railroad financiers and managers,
despite their boosted ability, cannot
evolve a solution that does not in
clude government action, and the
coming year will see an abandon
ment of many shibbolehts by stand
patters who are secretly hoping the
government will again pull them out
of hole.

You Cam Enjoy This Purse Protection

@ HAKESPEARE wrote the greatest of all advertising truths
- when through his character of Cassie he said: Good name
in man or woman, dear my lord, is the immediate jewel Of the
SOUL
The greatest properties in the world have been built on the
foundation of good name. Reputation and honor bring more
interest than any capital that can be invested in business.
More important still, they form an absolute guarantee for the
Buyer.
There are single words, single names, that today are worth
untold millions of dollars. Sheffield suggests cutlery Of quality.
Dresden brings chinaware to mind. Venice vsuGlizes glass
ware, Nottingham pictures laces, and Pars-wen, Paris fashions
have become an internationa by-word.
These are the names of cities whose workmen have built char

Business men and private individuals interested in the value
to them Of the art of advertising will do well to remember these
facts. They were brought out forcefully in a speech delivered
recently in Atlantic City by Earl D. Babst. Mr.. Babst explained
that regulations of value attach to localities as much as to indi-
viduals and corporations.
1.-THE greatest asset in the world is good will, % said Mr.
Babst.

HIS business. But what good does advertising do ME?'
Advertising is more valuable even to the buyer than to the
seller. For in a business established by advertising that has cost
millions a business has established a NAME worth more than
all its factories, machinery and money, and it MUST PROTECT
THAT NAME.
The only way to project a NAME is to protect the PROD

CLEW TO LOST ISLAND RACE
Stone Images in Easter Island
Which May Tell the Story.

Sydney.-Prof. MacMillen Brown, a
noted Polynesian authority, has re-
turned from Easter island, which, he
say is the most inaccessible place in
the world.
The huge cattle ranch there owned
by a Valparaiso firm is worked by 300
natives and two whites, and is visited
annually by a Chilean schooner. There
are no land birds or native animals,
and once small gray rats were used
as currency and ultimately served as
titbits for the aristOcracy.
Professor Brown examined the 100
famous stone images in human form
standing on great stone platforms, be-
low which are chambers where are
placed the bleached bones of the dead.
Some of the statues are of immense
size, fully 20 feet In height and
crowned by huge stone hats.
The professor believes that tens OF
thousands of workmen erected the
monuments to the people of a bygone
Pacific empire inhabiting the ring of
archipelagoes whereof Easter island
is the center. The native name means
navel or center of the earth. Profess
sor Browns theory is that food was
taken to the workers liz canoes from
neighboring islands by the masters
who came to bury the great men of
the race
There is unmistakable evidence of
the sudden abandonment of the work,
probably a c%ataelysm submerged the
islands. cutting off the supplies of the
workers.

to them and burn them down if he can help ESPECIALLY if
they are not insured.
The good will, the reputation back OF a name, is q property
that CANNOT BE INSURED. The good will Of the public is
the only insurance.
Having built up such a name, it must be KEPT UP. To
let it fall, to deceive the public, to diminish quality for the
sake OF extra temporary profit, is as foolish and destructive as
1T would be to set fire to uninsured buildings.
ONCE TORN DOWN., A NAME CANNOT BE BUILT
AGAIN.
Buyers protect themselves when they learn to test the prom
ises and the ~fulflnents Of advertisers, the value Of a NAME
ON A PACKAGE or a product Of any kind.
A buyer has in his power constantly the standing, the life
or death of any advertised product. Once the BUYER aban-
dons it, it is gone.
Buyers should know, and many manufacturers, business
men Of good character with good products should know, more
than they do know about advertising power, its meaning, its
value to the producer AND MUCH GREATER VALUE TO
81 CONSUMER.
There are advertised articles in which amounts as great
as fifty millions and more have been invested. MERELY TO

such a name, with his millions invested in it, would for the

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H Allen, of Rochester. y.
Y. suffered for years with rheumatism.
Many times this terrible disease left him
helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of cease
less study, that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impur-
tiles, commonly called uric acid deposits,
were dissolved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery. which he
called Allenrhu, to others who took it.
with what might be called marvellous
success. After years of urging he decided
to let sufferers everywhere know about
his discovery through the newspapers. He
has therefore instructed druggists every

Neutrality-suspicious. to improve the
condition of Indians, with particular
regard to health and education. are
being worked out by Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Burke with the APP
proval of Secretary Fall. An increase

probably will be asked in the next In

Gently assigned three trained nurses
to the Indian bureau for one year. as
the first step in Commissioner Burke's
program. In addition, plans for en-
larged school facilities to educate 90
900 children of school age not now in
school are being worked out. APP
p~roximately 5000 of this number be-
long to the Navajo tribe and have
never been TO school.
Will Survey Conditions.
The nurses assigned to the Indian
service, it was said at the Indian bu-
reau, would survey conditions on
reservations and demonstrate what
may be accomplished by women
trained in nursing and welfare work.
Thus it is hoped TO lay the foundation
for asking congress for an appropria-
ton to enable the bureau to employ
on the reservations women of a high
er grade for matrons and general field
service.
There is a great opportunity"
Commissioners Burke said, "for improy-
ing home conditions among Indians
and for teaching sanitation and look
ing after the health of children. One
nurse will be stationed on the Pine
Ridge and Rosebud reservations in
South Dakota the two others will go.
to the Southwest. and work among
the different Indians in Arizona and
New Mexico. This is only part of a
general plan adopted by the Interior
department for improving and better
ing conditions among the Indians.
Take Up Education.
Another subject that is receiving a
great deal of attention is that of edu-
cation-building up the schools al
ready in the service, increasing the
attendance. to their full capacity. and
strengthening the personnel. An in

congress will respond i'll view of the

The Interior department and the
indlan bureau are giving much atten-
ton to health conditions az the sever
