Whisters of the middle west will meet In St. Joseph. Mo.. February 17 and IS, for their annual Central Whlat association whist tournament. Playera of the game from Nebraska. Iowa. South Dakota. Mis souri, Colorado and Kansas will be en tered In the event. Twenty-one clubs are represented In the association, the Omaha organization being the Omaha Whist club. A. Dreyfoos. presi dent of the Central Whist association, is among the Omaha playera who are In tending to be present. Club play for the Richards team trophy and pair play for the St. Joseph trophy as the church. Is "Joe" Coster, the skillful and good looking young boxer, who made such a fine showing In Brooklyn Monday night against ."Abe" Attell. the feather weight champion, as to astonish ring ex perts as well as the champion himself. It Wus the Trinity club's punching bags, medicine ball, chest weights, dumbbells and boxing gloves that gave Coster the skill and the strength to rock Attell's head with Jabs and nearly knock the champion out of the ring with a savage left swing. "Tendency that Way." Asked whether he was aware of the fact that a number of professional pugi lists were using the Trinity club's gymna sium for training purposes, and whether he approved of It, Holy Trinity's rector, the Rev. J. Howard Mellsh, Raid: "I am Afraid there is a tendency that way." The clergyman, who is noted for the breadth and liberality of his views, which have taken the church to the people of Brooklyn instead of making them come to the church, went on to say that he did not wholly approve, and yet, lie Intimated. It might be better for such morals as ring life might leave a boxer for him to train In a church club's gymnasium In stead of at a road bouse. "We do not Intend to give the use of our gymnasium to pugilists for training quar ters." he declared. "The gymnasium and all of our athletic apparatus Is for the use of our members. They may be motor men, bank clerks, prize fighters or capital ists. "So long as a club member comports himself hs a gentleman while Inside the club house we do not Inquire how he acts outside or what his business may be. They are members and entitled to our privi leges." Dr.- Mellsh said that for some time he had known that the club numbered several fighters among its members. One of the few occasions, he added, when there had been, any grounds for interference with the training of the boxers, It had been done". "We try to curb tha training a bit." lie declared, "whenever any of the better known boxers get too much of a crowd about ' them In the gymnasium at their bouts and so give us grounds." See o Objection. Others connected with the club were quite frank In declaring that they saw absolutely no objection .to professional fighters being member and uillng the gymnasium as a place In which to train. "We are not trying to make prigs here; we are trying to make men and good citi zens." he declared. "We put all denomi nations and men of all occupations on a par in the Trinity club. In our member ship we have Roman Catholics, Jews, Itali ans. Kplxcopallans and negroes. "In founding the club as a memorial to, rr. Hall, we endeavored to perpetuate his creeds, we endeavored to promote good ideas, one of which was to promote good citizenship by fostering all activities that tend to better physical health. If a man wants to. or needs to, be a professional fighter,' It Is surely better to have him, part of .the time, under good Influence than to bar him from auch a place as this be eause of his occupation."

(From a Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan 18 (Special Tele gram.! John It. At wood of Kansas Cltv. counsel for the shippers' committee and National Industrial league In the western rate advance case now pending before the Interstate Commerce commission, said In ergulng the case: "There are four rond' that dominate the western transportation situation and the conditions that they create must be accepted by the other west ern roads. These are the Chicago. Mil waukee St. Paul. Chicago Northwest cm. Chicago, Burlington Qulncy and the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe. I yet us ex amine the four roads and see what they base their claims upon for additional rev enue. "First and foremost, all four had ample revenue in 1910 to pay operating expenses, fixed charges and dividends on all stock; and, after paying all these, all four had varying sums left from their gross tak ings for that, year to carry forward for the credit side of profit and loss. If this credit Is not sufficient to satisfy the own ers of properties, they must not ask for additional revenue from the public until two things have been definitely determined: "is the total net corporate income after payment of the operating expenses and fixed charges, a fair return upon the in vestment? "Are there any abnormal conditions that have raised the expenses for the year above the averaue, so that those expenses may not be fairly considered typical?" j All I'll Id Illlldenri. I "Examination of Income accounts of four I roads nnmed shows that alt were nble to j pay, and did pay. ample dividends upon I their stocks: that all were able to expend, ! and did expend out of Income, large sum ! tor the betterment of their properties, and j that those properties were admitted bv their own witnesses to be In better shape I at the end of 1910 than 1909. So. by elimi nation, we come to the final result that the notion of the railroads of a 'fair re turn" is an Income sufficient to satisfy all. the proper things enumerated, hut yielding In addition, a large surplus, to us laln credit of roads and to pny for those additions to the property which seem iid vlsahle to the management, but are not revtnue producers. "In the case of the Burlington road alone, this demand for a fair return' Is upon a value of $.".30,000.00'). which Is. by ihe admission of Burlington witnesses. $210,000,000 In excess of the total capital of that road. This 'value' Includes all the unearned Increment, all the gifts and dona tions of states and municipalities, and.' in a certain sense, the value of franchises of road." Oneratlnar Expenses. As to operating expenses for 1910 Mr. At wood said: "That these are abnormal Is shown, first by the admissions of Presi dents Gardner of the Northwestern, Ripley of the Santa Fe and Uenera! Manager Ward of the Burlington. The great coal strike of 1910 made fuel expensive and cut off the hauling of revenue hauling freight as well. The severe winter of 1909-1910 was a succession of battles against the trem endous storms of snow and sleet, with the temperature at rero and below. "These matters affected the operating expenses of three or four roads. Other individual abnormalities were the charge by the Burlington of over $4.00),000 to oper ating expenses for depreciation of equip ment, which was $3,000,000 more than the St. Paul and over $2,000,000 more than the Northwestern charged, and all have sub stantially the same equipment. There was the tie account of the Santa Fe, which showed an Increase of $8X1.000 In the ex pense account, and a decrease of $600,000 In the number of ties actually laid, and the price per tie almost constant. , Abnormal Increases "There was also In the case of the Santa Fe, a tremendous Increase toward the end of the fiscal year 1910 In the aggregate non-revenue ton miles as compared with 1909. There was a Jump of over $(i00.000 debit In equipment balance of the Milwau kee & St. Paul, which. It was agreed, would be explained, but has never betn explained. So the year 1909-1910 was not a typical operating year. The Increases In operating expenses were abnormal, but these four roads, notwithstanding, were able to pay ample dividends and carry a credit to profit and loss account besides. Does not this demonstrate that their rev enues are ample and their rates high enough as a whole? "The conclusion is inevitable," said Mr. Atwood. "that the demands of these car rier must be denied. Their own exldence shows that they are being amply rewarded and are receiving full returns upon their Investment value" "It la In the Interest of sound public policy that a railroad should receive such an income as will enable It to maintain Its property In a way adequate to the demands of the public; to pay proper and reasonable dividends on Its securities; to earn such a surplus as will enable It to meet similar requirements In the Interests of earnings." With this statement W. F. Dickinson, counsel for the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific railway, summed up his argument today In support of the proposed ad vance of rates In the western trunk line territory Speaking for the Iowa Central and the Minneapolis St. Ixtuls railroads. Oeorge W. Severs, counsel for the Iowa Central, which he described aa "one of the weaker lines." urged the approval of the proposed advanced rales. Chester M. Dawes, counsel for the Chi cago. Burlington A Qiilncy, said that the capitalisation of that road was $MO.OOO,000, or $60,000 a mile. The net earnings, he said, were I71.870.000, or S0.98 per cent a year. He felt that a better return on the property ought to be permitted and therefore that approval of the proposed higher rates ought to be given. At the close of the day's session P. It. Morrissey of Chicago, president of the Railroad Emploea and Investors' associ ation, and one of the Important leaders of organized labor in the country, began a statement In support of the proposed advance of railroad rates. Mr. Morrtssey presented many petitions from organiza tions requesting it to approve the proposed advance In rates, in the belief, as ex pressed by the petitioners, that such an In crease would be of advantage to the country. The formal statement of the com mittee Mr. Morrissey will submit to the commission at tomorrow's session. ANTI-TREATING BILL FILED E. R. Moore of Linn County, la., Introduces Measure.

DLOQD TROUBLES CON5TITDT10HAL INFECTION Constitutional Blood Poison is the most insidious of all diseases. It begins in an insignificant manner, usually the appearance of a tiny sore being the only outward evidence of its presence. But down in the blood the treacherous infection is at work, and in a short time its'chain of symptoms begin to crop out. ' The mouth and throat ulcerate, skin eruptions break out, sores and ulcers appear on the body, the glands in the groin swell, and sometimes the hair comes out. Mineral medicines cannot cure Con stitutional Blood Poison; they only shut the disease up in the system to smoulder and await an opportunity of breaking out afresh. The only pos sible way to cure the disease is to RF.MOVK the germs from the blood. S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while removing the infection makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy. This causes a general upbuilding of the entire system , and when S. S. S. has made a cure there is no return of the hideous symptoms . S. S. S. is made entirely of vege table matter, containing not the least particle of mineral in any form. It is a perfectly sale medicine and a certain eure for blood poison.
