Here is another letter that makes me happy" says Peterson. One that would rather have than thousand dollars"
 Money isn't everything in this world. There is many a big-hearted rich man who would give all he has on earth to be able to produce a remedy with such mighty healing power as Peterson's Ointment. Read this letter by Mrs. Albert Southcott. It seems like miracle but it is true, every word of it.
 "Is it any wonder am happy" Dear Sirs
 "I was a sufferer from an old run ming sore and ulcer. I had tried most everything without any relief from pain. A friend told me of your wonderful ointment and the first box took away the pain that had not left me before in years, and after using just nine dollars, worth I am cured. The ulcer was inches by 612 inches, is all healed and I can walk. Never. never will be without peterson's Ointment
 You may use this to recommend your ointment if you wish. I cannot say enough to praise it." Yours truly, Mrs. Albert Southcott, Lyndonville, N. Y. Price, 35c.-Adv.

CANNED GOODS
 RATE ATTACKED
 BY TRAFFICBODY
Formal Petition Is Filed With Commission By
 Traffic Club

Formal complaint was filed with the Interstate Commerce commission by the Birmingham Traffic association Saturday, attacking the interstate rates on carload shipments of canned goods from Mobile to Birmingham.
 It is alleged that Birmingham is and has been for many years an important and large jobbing center for canned goods and that a large supply of these various commodities properly classified under the tariff term "canned goods is purchased and drawn from the Pa cific coast by steamer line through the Panama canal to Mobile, thence rail line to Birmingham. The present all rail rate of A cents per 100 pounds and the rail and water rate via the Warrior barge line of 35s is attacked as being unreasonable, unjust, discrim- inatory and prejudicial. The following carriers are made party defendants:
 Louisville and Nashville. Southern. Alabama Great Southern. Mobile. and Ohio, Gulf, Mobile and Northern, Frisco, Ensley Southern and Warrior River Barge line.
 In addition to requesting reduction in the present rates a request is also made for reparation on all shipments which have moved since July l, 1923. The principal point of contention seems to be that the Traffic association is not satisfied with the adjustment that prevails from Mobile to Birmingham in comparison with the rates from New Orleans to the Mississippi Valley and from south Atlantic ports to points within the state of Georgia. It is claimed that the rates from New Or leans to the Mississippi valley and from South Atlantic ports into Georgia are on a basis relatively lower than from Mobile to Birmingham and to this extent the jobbers of Birmingham are not being given an equal opportu- nifty to meet their competition from cities located in these two states.
 The following members of the or ganization are party complainants
