Sickness obviously is a tremendous
economic burden. Individuals and
families affected know that only too
well. It is a burden which can be
lightened only as medical science ad-
vances, as its services are extended
to the widest possible numbers, and
as knowledge Of the conditions of
good health is placed within the reach
Of all. A national committee under
direction of Secretary Wilbur of the
Interior department now is at work
on the question, primarily the question
Of whether we can develop sound
American methods for distribution of
scientific medical care to all members
Of the population at cost which they
can meet" It is not, however, the
problem of any committee, group. or
Of the medical profession alone. 1t
extends to every individual; for every
person, through intelligently directed
effort, can do something to aid its
solution.

The Eagles Last Stand

There has been appreciation of the
f-st1lIl 71lnjly OF ts1I eagles on
Americd11 iii is diminishing. But the
danger, now announced in a pamphlet
compiled by ornithologists of the
American Museum of Natural History,
that the bird which stood as a model
for the coat of arms and coinage Of
the United States might become ex-
tinct, has not been fully understood.
The fate Of the passenger pigeon,
once one of the most common of feath-
cred Americans and now utterly ex-
tinct, does not yet stare the eagle in
the face, for there is possibility that
the strain can be saved, but nine spe-
cies of birds are given as beyond res
cue. Fifteen others, the eagle among
them, may be preserved for the gen.
erations to come. When it is learned
that species like the flamingo, the CAL
ifornia condor, the trumpeter swan
and the whooping crane are definitely
lost, there should be no lack of effort
to save the threatened birds. Alaska
is really the last stand of the bald
eagle.

What do you think Of the Christmas
Seal?
"What do you think?" said I.
cit maketh the Christmas spirit real:
IT'S greater than gifts you buy.
For it proveth better than Jewels can
That your heart hath room for your
fellow-man.
'Who giveth a gift to his friend has
done
No more than a gracious deed.
But the seal proclaimeth the man a.
one
Who giveth to those in need.
For God, who marketh the sparrow's
fall,
Giveth not to His friends, but to one
and all.
ESQ look at the Christmas Seal and
say:
This friend who remembereth me.
Hath also thought of the sick today,
Wherever they chance to be.
And he giveth not only to cheer his
own,
But to all who hath need is his mercy
shown"

CHARGE FORD ROAD
ASKS ILLEGAL RATE
Twenty-Five Counts Included
in Indictment by Federal
Grand Jury.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 8.-Charges
of soliciting and receiving illegal coal
rates were made in 25 counts of an in
dictment returned against the Detroit
Toledo and Ironton Railroad, owned by
Henry Ford by the Federal grand Jury
here today
No individuals were named in the in
dictment against the Ford railroad, but
its representatives will be brought in to
enter the plea for the corporation,
Monday.
Assistant United States District At
torney William B. BartelS said that
operatives of the Interstate Commerce
Commission had charge of the investi-
cation of the alleged law violations by
the D., T. and 1. 1t is the first time in
years that railroad has been indicted
in this part of the country on such a
charge, Government officials said.
Shipped Coal to Kentucky.
The indictment charges that the
FordSon Coal Co. shipped coal at Hardy
and Stone, KY, on various dates The
coal, it is alleged, actually was destined
for Ironton and Jackson, Ohio. But,
the bill charges, the coal was delivered
10 Tie NOTIOlh ana western VdurOAQ
at Hardy for South Charleston, Ohio,
though it never reached the latter
point, finding its way, instead, to Jack
son and 1ronton.
The N. & w. and the D., T. & I.
tracks cross twice i'll Ohio. The rate
on coal from Hardy on the N. & w.
to the first junction point and thence
to 1ronton direct on the D., T. & l.
would be $1.15, the indictment says
Ton rates to South Charleston were
$2.14, the coal going over the N. g. w
to the second junction point, called
Glen Jean, and thence over the D., T.
a. I. to South Charleston. OF the S2.14
joint rate, the D., T. &c l. would receive
$1.01.
Charges Long Routing.
1t is charged by the Government that
the Ford Railroad contravened the
regular tariff schedule and got lower
coal rates by billing its coal to South
Charleston, a long haul, instead of di-
rect to 1ronton and Jackson, by the di-
rect short haul. 1t was worked, Gov
eminent agents charge, in this manner:
The D. T. & I. utilized the Joint
agent of the two roads at Glen Jean
by forcing" him to allow the D, T. &
1. to take the coal when it got to Glen
Jean and ship 1t back over the D., T. &
I. tracks to Jackson and Ironton. The
total cost on coal thus shipped, under
rates as If to South Charleston, was
lower than for a short haul direct to
1ronton and Jackson.
