REFRICER ALTON
RATES ORDERED
TO BE REDUCED
Valley Shippers Win In
Long Fight Against Un-
Just Condition.
By United Press Lensed Wire

WASHINGTON, June 28-The
Interstate Commerce Commission,
acting on complaint filed by melon
growers and shippers in California,
Arizona and Nevada, held today
that interstate freight refrigeration
rates on cantaloupes and lettuce
from the Imperial valley were un-
reasonable to the extent that they
exceeded similar rates from the San
Joaquin valley.
In the future, the freight charges
will be the same.
The commission upheld present
refrigeration charges on canta-
loupes from the San Joaquin val
ley.
Cantaloupe refrigeration charges
from Salt River Valley points on
the Southern Pacific in Arizona
were held unreasonable to the eX-
tent that they exceed present
charges on like shipments from the
San Joaquin valley by more than
$50 carload. This establishes a
preferential of not more than $40
for the San Joaquin valley.
Cantaloupe refrigeration charges
from Nevada were held unreason-
able to the extent that they exceed
San Joaquin charges.
Present refrigeration charges on
shipments from other points under
review by the commission were up
held.
Local growers and shippers
greeted this information jubilant-
ly today as the elimination of a
fight over period of several years
against this unjust rating.
The new ruling of the commission
will make a saving of $50 a carload
on cantaloupe shipping and refrige-
ration and 500 a carload on lettuce
and other valley produce, such as
tomatoes and strawberries. The saw
ing to the valley will approximate
$250,000 to 100000 year.

possibility Of fighting out the dry

Doctor Found Women ),
and Children Sick
More Often than Men

As q family doctor at Monticello,
Illinois, the whole human body, NOT
any small part of it, was DR.. Cald-
wells practice. More than half his
''caiis" were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most of.
ten sick. But their illnesses were
usually OF minor natuIe-cOlds,
feyers, headaches, biliousness-and
all of them required first thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
In the course of DR.. Caldwell's AZ
years practice Che was graduated
from Rush Medical College back in
1870, he found good deal of Sue
cess in such eases with a prescrip-
tion Of his own containing simple
laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892
he decided to use this formula in the
manufacture OF a medicine to be
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pop
sin, and in that year his prescrip-
ticn was first placed on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great success in the drug stores
as it previously had in DR.. Cald-
wells private practice. Now, the
third generation is using it. Moth
ers are giving it to their children
who were given it by their mothers.
Every seoond of the working day
someone somewhere is going into
drug store to buy it. Millions of
hotties Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
san are being used year.
It's great success is based on merit,
on repeated buying, on one satisfied
user telling another. There are
thousands Of homes in this country
that are never without a bottle of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. and
VS. have gotten many hundreds of
letters from grateful people telling
as that, it helped them when every
thing else failed.

had been for two months without
mistress, the former housekeeper
having died. The wages were all she
could have expected.
She said, furthermore, that she was
a widow and the antecedents she gave
were such that Brennan could easily
look up. Mr.. Drane had always
left the household expenses to her.
On the first of each month-about
the seventh, to be exact-he had
given her check for the estimated
expenses; If the expenses ran
higher he gave her extra money,
if they ran less he made the check
less. He was always very partic-
ular in checking the bills with
her but they had never had any
quarrels; he was fair that way.
She had never had, she said,
the slightest idea that "John
Drane" was female. He was
peculiar in some ways but no
more SO than other people. She
considered him a. 6nicky. old
bachelor-his shaving twice a day,
for instance, which she now saw
was in order that the lack OF
beard might not be noticed, has
seemed to her merely one exempli-
fcation of his "old-maidishness."

that all those under me would al

Brennan glanced at Simon Judd.
The fatsman was listening with his
eyes closed but he was not asleep,
he was rubbing his plump hands
back and forth across his enor-
NOUS paunch slowly.
Il think that will be all, Mrs,
Vincent" Brennan said. "Send
me Norbert next, will you?"
When Mrs. Vincent had gone

the veranda floor with his toe and
frowning. He turned to Amy sud
