MARKED CHANGE SHOWN
Plea for Consolidation Born
in Demand for Lowest
Freight Rates, Claim
DakOtas for Hill Plan

st. Paul, Mar. 2O--Opposition
to any consolidation but an en-
dOrscmcnt Of merger of the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy lines if there is some
merger, was scheduled to be
voiced by St. Paul interests be-
fore representatives Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on
the proposed railway consolida-
tion plan today.
North Dakota interests appear
ing before Commissioner Camp
bell yesterday went on record as
favoring an acceptance of a mcr-
ger Of the Great Northern, Nor
thern Pacific and Burlington if
the Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Saulte Ste. Marie line agreed to
make connections which would
provide an entrance into Fargo \
and Grand Forks on the 500 Line.
Witnesses from North Dakota
Iowa, and Minnesota gave emphatic
endorsement to the proposed merger
of the Northern Pacific, Great Nor
thern, and Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroads as productive of
greatly increased service to the pub
lie at today's hearing before repre-
sentativcs of the Interstate Com
mcrcc Commission.
The merger of the three roads
would be long step toward relief
of car shortage during the peak of
the grain movement as the Burling-
ton peak comes later than that Of the
Northern, and car supplies would be
alternately augmented, the North
Dakota and Iowa witnesses said.
Such a merger would benefit the
entire state of North Dakota, Fred
p. Mann, Devils Lake merchant and
director Of the National Chamber of
Commerce declared. A combination
would improve service and would not
eliminate competition because of the
existence Of the Minneapolis, st.
Paul and S. S. Marie and Chicago
and Milwaukee roads. Similar opin-
ions were expressed by Stanley C.
Colburn, representing the Minot
commercial club, James Kennedy,
Fargo. contractor, and r. E. Barron,
Minot banker.
Governor X. A. Ncstos of North
Dakota who was the first witness
called at the opening session ycster-
day told the committee that the
transportation problem must be
solved in the interest of the public
and railroad worker. What the rail-
road wants is the best service at
lowest cost which will permit q rea-
sonable return to the carrier.
Governor Nestos made no mention
of the Hill merger as opposed to the
Ripley plan of consolidation.
The Hill plan would merge the
three railroads while the Ripley plan
would place the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern in a separate group

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help Neutralize Irritating
 Acids.

Kidneys anu bladder lrrltations often result from acidity, says a noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass 1t on to the bladder, where 1t may remain to irritate and inflame, causing q burning. scalding sensa- tion, or setting up on irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in consrant dread; the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse: again, there is difficulty In voiding it.
 Bladder weakness. most folks call 1t because they can't control urina- .ssn. While 1t is extremely annoy ing and sometimesl very painful. this is often one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. lillo VIII ntip ntuti dilbC thC otiNo in tho system so they no longer are source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again.

FRANK MAYO AT PALACE TONIGHT

Saved by geography
 The hero of Tracked to Earth, , the Universal Special Attraction al the Palace Theatre tonight was about to be hung by posse because they thought he was horse thief-bui unfortunately for their plans and luckily for him the sand hills coun try has no trees.
 Y Of course there are telegraph poles along the railroad and the posse started for them. But the little de lay caused by Mother Natures refusal to supply the gallows, gave Frank Mayo, as the hero, his chance to es cape.
 It is mighty clever little situation and the story is said to follow the situation in style and cleverness. Will liam J. Neidig wrote it and it was published in the Saturday Evening Post. It was filmed at Universal City under William Worthington's direc- tion.
 E Supporting the star are Virginia Valli, formerly of the Follies and star of New York musical comedies Harold Goodwin, Buck Connors, once starred in Western photoplays, Duke R. Lee, Percy Challenger, Lon Pof, Jack Walters and Arthur Millett.

BIG PRODUCTION AT PALACE THIS WEEK

l Unanimously acclaimed one of the most distinguished actors on the American stage today, it was natural that Guy Bates Post should have been besieged with offers of screen star 1 dom. He at last accepted and will be seen in "'Fhe Masquerader,' the Richard Walton Tullv production which comes to the Palace Theatre next Thursday as First National attraction. It is regarded as fitting that Posts first film vehicle should be "The Masquerader." with it's dual roles of Chilcote and Loder, for he has been playing them on the stage for over six consecutive years, aggregating more than two thousand perform ances, all over the United States and Canada.
 Even before coming under Tullys management, Post had established himself among the leading figures of our theatre. After long experience cities of this country in a varied repertoire, Post came into especial prominence as the star of Rupert Hughes play "The Bridge" and of several Clyde Fitch successes. When the New Theatre was organized in New York. with the hope of making it the endowed national home of the finest drama, he was signally hon. ored through being selected, because of his acknowledged merit, to head the company that presented the repertoire of modern drama. It was here that he was seen in the title role of "The Niger Edward Sheldon's masterful play on the race problem.
 Since his boyhood, Guy Bates Post has had only one ambition; to be- come the leading actor of the nation. His portrayals in "The Masquerader" have come to be regarded as classics of the theatre and he has been placed in the dramatic Hall of Fame Post is an accomplished pianist. His wife is Adele Ritchie.
