BONIS SUGGESTS SIX
PER CENT RAIL RETURN
Chicago, March 28. Walker D.
Ilir.es, wbo made his first official
visit to Chicago today as director
general of railroads, speaking at a
Press club .dinner, said the time now
is- propitious for solving the rail
road problem, with the public more
nearly appreciative of the service of
the lines than ever before. lie said
the expenditures required of the
government for operation of the
road-t would not show as great a
loss a9 many people suppose.
In speaking of "a permanent so
lution of the railroad question." the
director general said he believed
"gome form of private management"
would follow the termination of
government control. But he assert
ed the old plan of private operation
by some 170 companies would never
again be successful.
He said the suggestions of S.
Davles Warfield. head of an organ
ization of railway securities hold
ers, for a statutory standard of reas
onable rates and for 6 per cent re
turn on the entire investment in
each region were getting nearer to
one of the fundamental? involved,
than other proposals that had been
made.
sugar, window glass, electrical ma
chinery and other articles. Any of
the allied governments may pur
chase these products and their rep
resentatives are expected to pro
ceed at once to Cologve to arrange
details as to prices. Purchases by
the allies are not to exceed two
thirds cf the surplus of any of these
products which Germany hps for
sale. The other third may be ex
ported as Germany may see fit.
HITCHCOCK ADVOCATES
WILSON'S COVENANT IN
PHILADELPHIA SPEECH
GERMANY MUST PAY FOR FOOD.
Pari. March 28. The German
delegation of financiers which is
now at Spa is expected to arrive
soon in Paris, on invitation from the
supreme council, to consider ques
tions relative to the securities Ger
many has to offer in payment for
food. Germany has increar-ed her
deposit of gold at Brussels, as a
partial payment for relief supplies
and the first cargoes are expected
to arrive at Hamburg tomorrow.
Neutrals have al?o been invited to
send financial representatives to
confer with delegates to the peace
conference regarding German se
curities sold In their countries
which might be applied to payments
for food.
It Is understood that an agree
ment was reached at Brussels on
March 14 by which Germany was
permitted to export certain classes
of rood In order to pay for food
Hiipplie and that this agreement
now becomes effective.
The embargo on war material,
gold, silver, and securities, will be
tniloUlned. but Cennany may ex

Philadelphia. March 2S. The
league of nations plan supported by
President Wilson is the only one
before the world today, and either
that or nothing else must be adopt
ed, declared United States Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock in an address
before the Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce here today.
He placed special emphasis on the
fact that thoes who believe the
I'nited States should pursue a policy
of splendid isolation are few and
quite mistaken. He warned that
there is no guarantee that there will
not be more wars if the nations do
not hand into a league. He com
mended former President Taft for
advocating the league even though
it does not embody all his ideas.
Senator Hitchcock denied that the
Japanese might force the United
States to settle the inunigratino
question by appealing to a league of
nations.

"When I think about how mm ii
Tanlac did for me, I feel Just like
shouting for Joy," said Mrs. Lizzie
Biggs of Smithfield, Illinois." For
fifteen years I had stomach trouble."
'she continued, "and I couldn't eat a
bite of anything without being mis
erable for hours afterwards. . I ul-o
had bilious spells and my head
would ache like an iron band was
tied around it, and often I would get
as yellow as a pumpkin. I was
nervous too, and so restless and
fidgety that often I couldn't go to
bed and go to sleep but I would have
nervous rigors and many a nilit I
have laid awake waiting and hoping
for morning to come and sometime
I couldn't lie in bed any longer and
would just have to get up and sit in
a chair, for the rest of the night. I
finally got so weak that I couldn't
have walked a block if I had been
paid a hundred dollars to do it and
I felt so bad all the time that life
was a burden to me. I tried all
kinds of treatments and medicines
but none of them did me a bit of
good and I began to think there
was no hope for me at all.
"When I heard about Tanlac do
ing so much good and decided to try
it I was too weak to go for a bottle
mvself. and had to send my daugh
ter. I didn't believe it possible for
any medicine to do what Tanlac has
already done for me. Before I fin
ished the first bottle my strength
began to come back and I could sleep
better than I have for years. Of
course I rodered some more and kept
on taking it according to direc
tions and now I feel as strong and
healthy as I did thirty years ago. I
don't have any more bilious spells
and the headaches are gone and my
skin is clear again. When meal
time comes I have a good appetite
and don't have to worry about what
I eat or how much because it all
agrees with me. All signs of nerv
ousness have left me ad now when I
go to bed I fall asleep almost as
soon as my head touches the pill;w.
I don't have to send my daughter to
the store for Tanlac now, as I can
go myself and only the other day I
walked down and bought six bottles.
I weighed while I was down there
and found I had gained twenty
pounds. My daughter and I both
think Tanlac saved iny life and I
never intend to be without a bottle
of this grand medicine In my house
as long as I live."
