Harding to Urge n n Freight Rate Cut ill Stress Advantage of Re gional Mergers—Opposed to Federal Control. By GEORGE F. AUTHIER. Washington Correspondent The Omaha B» Washington, June 11.—President Harding, It became known yesterday, on his western trip will carry the flght to the enemy's country against radical Innovation In railroad legisla tion. While urging more considerate treatment of the rail lines, the presi dent will express his belief that rates should be reduced. Western leaders are generally united in the opinion that the high transportation rates are responsible for a large amount of the troubles accruing to the farmers and his advisers have been telling him that neither transportation nor agri culture can be discussed safely by him without pledging the influence of the administration to lower rates. The proposals made by Brookhart of Iowa and La Follette of Wisconsin to eliminate the so-called water in the railroad stocks by valueing them on the basis of Original cost by which Senator Brookhart proposes to reduce the value of the lines by about half, will not be supported by the president. The president's idea will be worked out at Kansns City, selected as the place for the delivery of his program on railroad legislation, followed by his speeches on agriculture at l^tftehin son, Kan., both subjects being closely related In the western mind.

UNITED FRUIT COMPANY Ml South Clork Shoot, Chloaso of various lines in accordance with the theory written into the Eseh Cummins act will be urged by the president In the face of increasing railroad opposition to this program, but in a general way the executive proposes to urge a conservative treat ment of roads for the purpose of revivifying transportation facilities. The president will include in his recommendations coordination of steam roads, auto trucks and water transportation, including endorsement of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project. While 11® opposi tion of the executives to compulsory consolidation is increasing they have reported the conclusion they must drop continued antagonism to water way development upon which the president places great stress. This applies to the St. Lawrence project. Five Omaha Boys Graduate from Military Academy Five Omaha boys and eight from Nebraska have just graduated from Kemper Military academy at Boone vllle. Mo.

This fact is of great importance to you be cause these great hotels selected Barreled Sunlight only after a thorough investiga tion, showing that Barreled Sunlight reflected light in greater quantity; that it is whiter and stays white longer; that it •is less expepsive than enamel and easier applied. You should profit by this experience in se lecting interior paint for hotel, hospital, factory, store, office, garage and other places where more light means greater efficiency and less overhead expense.

Delia's reaction to my purposely acrid statements that she was the greatest idiot 1 knew, and that I had wasted about a thousand dollars’ worth of sympathy on her, was all that I had planned. Resentment, astonishment and fin ally a distinct gleam of hope—the emotion for which I had played— flitted across her face, and she sat up abruptly, the terror in her eyes di minishing. "Oh, Mndge! If you're right, and I'm wrong, you may call me all the names in the calendar and scold me as^much as you wish"’ Her eyes held a challenge which made me flinch inwardly, for I knew that I had my work cut out to con vince I,elia that her husband's patent interest In Bess Dean was not ser ious. That she had brooded over the thing until she was scarcely sane concerning it, I had realized when I heard her bitter cry of fear that a little child was coming to her. I knew that were she not .horribly un happy, she would have welcomed motherhood rapturously. Now she was like a trapped wild creature, all because of her husband's folly, and Bess Dean's egregious vanity. Purposely I made my answer a frivolous one. Hpr nerves had been keyed to tragedy altogether too long. I intended to present my arguments to her in as flippant a manner as I dared, and at the same time be able tp convince her that I was right in my estimate of the situation. “Oh, Do Tell Mel” “I'll lay out the thesaurus,” I promised darkly. "What I ought to do is to find the mate of an old sailing ship and let him exercise his. vocab ulary. You're mighty reckless in giving me the permission to maul you verbally, if I prove you wrong, for I'm now going to proceed to show you In words of one syllable that you haven’t a logical leg to stand on.” A reluctant smile quirked the cor ners of her mouth, and I indulged myself in a little thrill of triumpl}. At least I had succeeded in lessening the mournful tension of her nerves. “In the first place.” I went on di dactically, “please remember that Bess Dean's antics aren't new to me. I have seen her in action several times, when she had her eyes on Dicky, and I know exactly what she means and doesn’t mean. There’s one thing certain. Bess Dean is no more In love with either Alfred or Dicky than she is with you or me, but If by any menner of means she could convince either of us that she was, and that her feeling was re ciprocated. she would fearly hug her self with delighted vanity." “Are you sure?” Della breathed. "Absolutely. I know her through and through. She hasn't nearly as much emotion as an ordinary-sized codfish, but her vanity is so enlarged that it needs an operation performed upon it every now and then. Did I ever tell you of the time when I wielded a scalpel on it?” "No. Oh, do tell me!” / With a distinct qualm of conscience at my own deed—for I abhor the rela tion of a conjugal difficulty to a third person—X poured Into I^ella's atten tive ears the story^ of Bess Dean's actions while on her vacation at the Cosgrove home In the Catakill moun tains and my discovery as to Dicky’s real feelings toward her. Mentally, I humbly begged my hus band's pardon as I talked, but I con soled myself with the reflection that there was nothing really derogatory to Dicky in the story, and besides, al most anything seemed justifiable If It lifted from Delia the despair which had swept her a few minutes before. That I had succeeded, partially, at least. I knew when I had finished my tale, and I^ella. brighter, more animated than she had been at any moment of the last 24 hours, ex claimed with malicious gleefulness: “Oh! What a come uppance! I wish I had been there to see it. But, Madge," slotoly, "because Dicky didn't care for her is no assurance that Al fred doesn't. Dicky doesn'A take any thing as seriously as Alfred docs, you know.” "No, I don't know,” I returned shortly, for her naive assumption that her husband had a stronger charac ter than mine made me rediculously resentful. "They’re very much alike —and like most other men—in liking to listen to a bright, entertaining and good looking girl. You Know, that you and I both cannot help laughing at some of the things Bess says." "I know that well," I.eila returned slowly. “But I hate her, neverthe less. Oh, Madge, tell me again that you're sure I have no real cause to hate her! If you can make me be lieve that. I'll lie the happleaB woman alive.” (Copyriaht, itsi.)

Spoonful for a Penny Brings Quick Relief Prove splendid leietire properties si Dr. Caldwell’s Sjrap Prpsia by teat A SCIENTIFIC test has now proven what Dr. Caldwell of Montieello asserted many years ago, that constipation will slow you up fully 2o per cent. The rest was mane oy Dr. Donaldson of Loom Ijnda up on four men in the prime of life who deliberately went without a bowel movement for four days. Within 48 hours the men had coated tongue and foul breath, cankers in the mouth, no appetite, restless sleep, indigestion, headache, depression, nervousness, cramps. The blood pressure was up 28 per cent. It is just this that Dr. Caldwell has preached to his patients in pri vate and to the public through the printed word ever since he began the practice of his specialty, diseases of the stomach and bowels, back in 1875. A®er observing for years the satisfactory effect of his pre scription for constipation, he placed it in drug stores in 1892. a simple vegetable compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with pleasant-tasting aromatics, now ANY FAMILY MAY TIT IT FREE Thousand* of parent* are asking themselves. “ Where ran I find a trust worthy laxative, that anyone in the family can use when constipated?" / urae you to try Syrup Pepsin.
