IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneya occasion
ally if you eat meat
regularly.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick, Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys. ,
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablcspoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast, for a few days and.
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made trom the acid
of graocs and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

other domestic animals.

the Destiny of the Country
THE road with a destiny bound up with that of half
the country," says the Boston Commercial, review-
the country," says the Boston Commercial, review
ing the development of the New York Central Lines.
This railroad system stretches from the North Atlantic
ports of New York and Boston, across the rich manufac
turing states that have given America its world leadership
in industry -reaching the center of the automobile in
dustry at Detroit, and the heart of the iron and steel district
at Pittsburgh; and its western terminals are at Chicago
and St. Louis, the Mississippi Valley gateways to the
granaries of the West.
Within the territory served by the New York Central
Lines are 50 million people, producing 65 of the manu
factures of the country. Over these lines is carried a
tenth of the rail -borne commerce of the country a traffic
greater than that of all the railways of England and France.
From the first courageous railroad experiments of
nearly a century ago, to the modern achievement of the
Twentieth Century Limited service between New York
and Chicago, the New York Central Lines have been not
only carriers of commerce, but essential factors in the
upbuilding of American communities and industries.

Illinois Central System Calls State

Control of Rates Backward Step
" There has been much discussion lately of bills introduced into Congress to take
away from the Interstate Commerce Commission all authority over state rates. The
proposed legislation, we believe, is unprogressive, impracticable and illogical.
, Our federal Constitution grew out of a generally accepted feeling on the part
of the people that commerce among the states should be free. Our forefathers were
convinced that nothing but ruin and chaos would result from a system which al
lowed one state to put restrictions upon the commerce of another state. The Federal
Government was founded upon the theory that commerce and trade were national
subjects and should not be subjected to local conditions. To that end the Consti
tution confers the exclusive power upon Congress to regulate commerce among the
states. -By a long line of Supreme Court decisions it is now thoroughly settled that
a state must not be permitted to make any rate or regulation which will interfere
with interstate commerce. The power of the interstate Commerce Commission to con
demn such rates which do discriminate against interstate commerce has been re
peatedly upheld.
As a practical matter, everyone kno ws that a railway system traversing a num
ber of states is operated as a unit. All its property is used irt both interstate and
intrastate commeixe. Its revenues from both are. commingled; its expenses as be
tween the two classes of commerce cannot be-accurately separated. It ought not
to maintain upon its line as many separate and distinct systems of rates as there are
states which it traverses. In the case of the Illinois Central System, passing through
and touching fourteen different states, it is obvious at a glance that it ought not to
have fifteen systems of rates, one applicable to interstate commerce, and fourteen
others, applicable to the commerce of the different states which it serves. If such
a theory is sound, so far as the practical effect is concerned, it would be equally
sound to say that each county traversed by the railroad should have the right to
make a separate system of rates. Of course, there is a political difference as between
the relation of counties' to states and states to nation, but, as a practical matter, the
two situaions are analogous. , .
No one has ever been able to give any good reason why a passenger making an
intrastate journey should pay a rate lower than or different from that of the pas
senger making an interstate journey, both occupying the same seat and receiving
precisely the same accommodations. Railroads in the United States have for a long
time struggled against this divided authority. They have been subjected to a num
ber of conflicting regulations, and have been ;greatly embarrassed and inconven
ienced by the necessity of obeying the mandates of various state commissions on the
subject of rates, many of which conflict with one another. In some instances state,
commissions have frankly announced their purpose to give to the people of their own
state an advantage over the people of another state by making a discriminatory rate
adjustment. In one western state, a state commissionput out an order requiring the
railroads to put up placards in their stations explaining how an interstate passen
ger can defeat the interstate rate by buying a ticket to a border line point, getting
off the train, and rebuying across thJorder. All these considerations induced Con
gress, in the Transportation Act, to l(jrovide more convenient machinery than had
theretofore existed whereby discriminations against interstate commerce could be
removed, and whereby the states would be required to contribute their fair share to-
ward the expense of maintaining the transportation machine.
While present legislation does not go so far, yet it is recognized by all thought
ful students of the problem that there should be but one body with power to regu
late rates, and that the national body. There would still be left to the state com
missions many important duties in connection with their police power. Their juris
diction would be unimpaired as to service matters, such as operation of intrastate
trains, character of station facilities, crossings, etc.
It is a great mistake to suppose that the control of rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission would make jt more troublesome and expensive fj)r patrons of the
railroad to obtain relief. The Interstate Commerce Commission has more than a
thousand expert employes, drawn from every section of the country, thoroughly fa
miliar with local problems and competent to assist in the solution of rate questions.
A petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission will in nearly every case bring
one of these examiners almost to the door of the petitioner, where the complaint can
be heard. The proceeding is informal, the expense is less, generally speaking, than
is involved in going to the state capital to present a matter to the state commission,
and no reason exists why the public generally should not look with favor upon a
system which will insure fair, consistent and harmonious treatment of the rate struc
ture of the country. . . - .
The removal of the war tax January 1 has had the effect of making a sub
stantial reduction in both freight and passenger rates, and the railroads have placed
in effect reductions in freight rates on agricultural products. They will continue to
make reductions as often as they are able to do so without impairing their ability
to serve the public. ,
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. : f - .
