a mojorlty of the western railroads held an
other conference with Commissioner Godnrd
at Trunk Lino head(UartcrH today In rela
tion to a revival of the prorating agree
ment which was abrogated not long ago.
An agreement was reached which places
this matter practically In the same status
In which It was beforo tho abrogation of
the prorating system by the Trunk Line's
commission some six weeks ago.
This Is regarded as a triumph for tho
western roads, which have been vigorously
opposing tho position of tho eastern lines,
by which tho latter demanded their full
share- In nil business to points west of St.
Ixiuls and ChK'ugo. Tho Chicane- lines
havo nvcrred that this rulo operated In
favor of St. Louis ns against Chicago. In
speaking of tho results of this meeting
Commissioner (lodard of the Trunk Lino
association said today:
"Tho How of tralllc will bo In the same
channels as beforo tho abrogation of the
prorating agreement. The relations be
tween tho different Interested roads havo
been re-established and hereafter will bo
tho samo as they wero beforo this dispu'o
arose. 1 cannot give the details of tho ar
rangements which havo been decided upon,
but they nro satisfactory to all concerned
and tho matter may bo looked upon ns
definitely settled."
Tho same opinion was expressed by tho
members of tho committee which repre
sented all the western roads at this confer
ence. The mwnboiH o( thH committer
were: VIco President J. M. Johnson of tho
Hock Island, General Freight Agent M.

THE BALLOON By Julieii Dupre.
The subject treats of a group of peasants In the hurvest-Iield. The peas
ants hare spent tho morning raking a nil stacking liny, the sun Is ut lis zenith
not a breath of air Is stirring, you ca n almost hear tho bees as they buz, from
llowi'i to flower, and away off In th e distance Is seen a balloon limiting ma
jestically in tho clear, blue sky. Hvld ently Hie villagers are holding their
country fair, and a balloon ascension is one oi the features. The group con
sisting of the peasant and his family are In the pIfturestUe costume of the
country. They havo all stopped work anil stand with their rakes In their
hands gazing Intently at the distant b alloon. Wonder, awe and admiration
nre blended In their expressive laces, and revealed in their attitudes. Tho
subject hns been treated witli those so ft, mellow tints which Its artist knows
so well how to paint, and recalls to t he mind many Just such Incidents In our
childhood life. It Is justly populnr, b 0th on account of its artistic quality and
deep human interest with which it ha s been clothed.

"change of life". And it is not strange that the cessation of the menstrual habit after thirty years
operation, should disturb the system and tax the strongest constitution. This trying period has no
terror for a woman who uses Wine of Cardui. It builds up her strength and prepares her for the ordeal.
When the change of life is not safely passed, a woman quickly becomes an invalid. Slumbering disease
germs are given increased activity and they appear in aggravated form. If you take Wine ot Cardui
regularly when approaching the change of life, you will be assured better health than you have

together make a well and healthy woman. Do not accept any other remedy.
