INTRASTATE SHIPPING
RULES TO BF UNTANGLED
Lincoln, Neb., April''* Railroads of
the state have been cited to appear,
April 30, to discuss with the state
railway commission a number of
matters in connection with the sub
stitution of Western Classification
No. 58, heretofore applying largely to
Interstate traffic, for all other clas
sifications.
A number of these have to do with
live stock shipments. One rule pro
vides that when It is necessary to
clean railroad owned or operated
stock yards, chutes or pens and dis
infect them after cattle with a con
tagious disease have been in them
that the carrier may charge the
owner of the stock 15 per cent, more
than the actual cost of labor and mat
erials. The commission challenges
the justice of this charge, and will
determine what is a proper one.
Another rule to be debated has to
do with cars used in the transpor
tation of live stock that the railroad
must clean in obedience to health
authorities' orders or when required
by the shipper. The roads have n
charge of $2.50 for single deck and
$4 for double deck cars, with pro
visions relating to the carrier ab
sorbing all excess above actual cost
if done by another than tho rail
road. There are two exceptions that
do not fit Into each other. One of
those relates to when the cars are to
he disinfected within a quarantine
district and the other that the provi
sions do not apply on Nebraska and
Kansas intrastate traffic when hand
led in connection with other lines.

ON THE CARPET
Railway Commission Wants
To Know About Extra
Charges
Lincoln, Neb., April ' „ (Special)—
Officers of the Stanton Independent
Telephone company have been cited
to appear before the state railway
commission, May 19, to explain why

plaints from farm line companies

line from hls residence to the main
farm line lead, and the commission

Get back
that lost weight!
WHEN you start to waste
away to a shadow, when the
color leaves your cheeks and your
poof, tired le^ will hardly hold up
your weakened body it’s high time
you started taking a fine tonic and
builder like Tanlac.
Tanlac will build you up and
make you feel that life’s worth
living. Made from roots, herbs and
bark gathered from the four corners
of the Earth and compounded
under the exclusive Tanlac for
mula, T anlac is just what the poor,
starved body needs.
First of all it cleanses the blood
stream and puts the digestive
organs in order. You find, after a
few days’ treatment, that you want
to eat. Pretty soon the welcome
color steals back into your cheeks
and the scales tell you that you’re
gaining weight. From then on
it’s only a short time until you’re
feeling fit as a fiddle.
