NO PROOF TO COMBAT CLAIMS Prndnrrn unit ffmall rrmmrrln Arc I'rreit to Make banU( oa Aaa-ns A nt Ilrnrlna- Oxer the (Pfnm Itatea. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. July 36. (Special.) The State Railway commission is still considering whether to adopt a schedule of express rates 15 per rent lower than the rates now In force, and 10 per rent higher than speci fied' In the Blbley 36 per cent reduction bill, passed by the recent legislature. It Is probable the commission shortly will I order the 15 per cent reduction, though ! this cannot be stated for a fact. If the ; ! commission does this It will be based upon the testimony given by the representatives j of the express companies. The evidence i given showed the express companies on their Nebraska business could not make a reasonable return on their business If the rates were reduced 26 per cent. The com mission had at hand no evidence to contro vert that the the express agente. The express companies will accept the 15 per cent reduction without going to court over the matter, while they Intimated they would fight the 25 per cent reduction. Should the commission make an order for a 16 per cent reduction, It will still have the right to make a further reduction later. To prepare for a second reduction the com mission will secure Information which It has not now. It has prepared a blank for reports to be filed by the express com panies and this blank calls for practically everything. Including the money taken In at each station In the state, for not only state but Interstate business. With such Information, which Is the same as furn ished the Texas commission, the Nebraska commission believes It will be In a po sition to act Intelligently In the matter. The Sibley law provides express companies shall charge 76 per cent of the rates In effect January 1, providing the commission does not Increase the rate. The wording of this law, members of the commission believe, shows that the legislature Itself was not sure that tt 25 per cent reduction would be Just. Representative Sibley, however, Is very anxious for the commission to compel the" express companies to give the law a trial and he has written a member telling him not to be made a "sucker" of. The com mission will do considerable studying be fore It makes any kind of an order. Hearing on Cream Hate. The State Railway commission is anxious 1 to Interest the people In the hearing August 1 6 regarding the rale on cream. The com mission has given out yie following state ment.: Are Nebraska dairymen and farmers re ceiving a fair price for their cream? This Is a question that Is borne In UKn the minds of (hi; members of the Nebraska Railway commission with growing emphasis as their Investigation of a proposed increase in transpoi union rales on cream and milk proceeds from day to day. The linpmtonce of ihe dairy Industry can best be appreciated by figuring what a Vary Slight Inference In the price of butter lat means to the producers as a class. A short time aao a lej reier.tative of the railway commission visited the Omaha creameries and Incidentally learned that the price paid there that day was 6 cents per pound less than In Council Bluffs, Just across the river. This Information was published in the stat? papeiR, with the result that the Nebraska price was raised 2 cents per pound Immediately, and has shown a much stronger tendency In all sections of the tate aver since. Two cents l an Insignificant sum con sidered alone, but when applied to the cream production of a great dairy stale like Nebraska, -ft suggests possibilities of which few pfople hove dreamed. The Omaha and Lincoln creameries alone han dle S.tXO.nOo pounds of cream monthly, of which at least one-third, or 2.6c;6.tW nounda Is butter fat. A 2-cent per pound increase on volume of business would mean a a meeting win ne neid bv the railway commission, at Its offices In Lincoln, on August 6 for the purpose of considering the ICOUiSt Of railroad and er,reH eiiuir.ii tiloa muneratlve then they must be much more so now.

Neb., July 28.-(Speclal Tele gram. )-Senator LaFollette addressed a large audience at the Chautauqua this afternoon on the regulation of railroads and gigantic corporations. He declared that all present national railroad legislation Is Ineffective because It does not provide for determining the actual value of railroad property. Senator LaFollette's argument was that before there can be proper regula tion or taxation of railroads and other corporations there must be means of ascer taining the actual value of such property. The price of products and of railroad rates, he said, should be fixed so that they would give a fair return on the actual Inventmenf and no more. Senator LaFollette was listened to by 7,000 people.

Hamilton, Merrick. Hall, Buffalo, Dawson. Custer, Thomas. Blaine, Greeley, Valley, Sherman, Loup and MEAT OH CEREALS A question of Interest to All Careful Persona. Arguments on food are Interesting. Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on the ground that they do not like to fel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, toe? great consump tion of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc., pro duces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs. (Wiere starch Is digested), are overtaxed and the food fer ments, producing gas, and microbes gen erate In the decayed , food, frequently bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body. Its best form Is shown in the food "Grape-Nuts." where the starch is changed Into a form of sugar during the process of manufacture. In this way, the required food Is presented to the system In a prn-dlgested fofm and is 'mmedlately made Into blood and tissue, without taxing the dlgestlvo organs. A remarkable result In nourishment la obtained; the person using Orepe-Nuts gains quickly in physical and mental strength. Why In mental T Because the food contains delicate particles of Phos phate of Potash obtained from the grains, and this unites with the albumen of all fond and the combination la what nature uses to rebuild worn out cells In the brain.
