Rail Officials Say They
Depend on the Newspapers
''You may truthfully say that at this
time the railroad officials know no
more about the railroad situation than
does the general public," said P. S.
Enstis, passenger traffic manager of
the Burlington, who is in Omaha at
tending a hearing before an, Inter
state Commerce commission examiner
who is takingi testimony in the case
wherein Kansas City is given the ad
vantage over Omaha in, the matter of
through rates to eastern points.
According, to Mr. Eustis, about the
only information railroad men acquire
relative to the railroad a situation
comes-through the newspapers. He
. knows what the ; general managers
have been doing while in session in
Chicago, but knows nothing concern
ing the ultimate results, saying that
their report will have to go to Dic
tator McAdoo's committee for ap
proval. ? '. ' i ' , :

Violators of the automobile park

more stringent methods.

tons gross,, registered'and owned by
the New York & Oriental Steamship

Says Commission Does Not
Understand Coal Business
Washington, Jan. 5. The coal
shortage in the northwestern states,
8ays-L. B. Houck of Minneapolis,
representing coal dealers in seven
states, told the senate investigating
committee today was due to price fix
ing by the fuel administration and
to admonitions to householders last
spring not to lay in their usual sup
plies. Houck said he believed the govern'
ment officials did what they thought
would bring best general results, but
declared it was "simply a case of the
coal business being handled by some
one ' who does not know anything
about it."
During the recess Houck obtained
a report of the trade commission and
on being recalled said he probably
was in error in inferring that the com
mission was responsible for pub
lished stories admonishing people not
to bu- coal last spring and summer.

Americans to Participate
In Japan China Loan
Peking, Friday, Jan. 4. The nego
tiations hv which Tanan wac trt ad
vance China the sum of 10,000.000
for the purpose of improving the po
sition of the Bank of China were to
have been completed today, but the
signing was postponed at the last
moment. The delay is declared to be
due to the decision of American,
French and British banking groups
to participate actively in the loan.
A dispatch from Peking December
21 said that Japan would loan the
money to China with the object of ex
ercising control over currency reform.
The Japanese, it was added, had no
tified the other banking groups that
unless they were willing to participate
in the loan it would be negotiated
solely by Japanese interests.

Banquet Brings Pleasant
Memories With the

what you eat there will be no gas,
no sour risings, no lump in your
throat, no biliousness, no dark brown
taste in the morning. And should you
now be troubled, eat a tablet as soon
as possible and relief will come
promptly. These ' tablets correct at
once the faults of a weak or over
worked stomach, they do the work
while the stomach rests and recovers
itself. Particularly effective are they
for banqueters and those whose en
vironment brings them in contact
with the rich food most apt to cause
stomach derangement. Relief in these
cases always brings the glad smile.
Get a boxiof Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, 50 cents, in any drug store. Be
eood to your stomach.

Foot Pressure
1
Weak Ankles and Run-Over Heels
This is usually due to weakness in the arch and
inkle joint By providing firm support to the under
part of the instep or hollow of the foot, the ankle
is prevented from tipping in or out.
A Foot-Eaier should be carefully fitted. This will
hold the ankle in a straight position and prevent either
turning In or out, or running over the heels of the
shoe.
Many cases of weak ankles are nothing more than a
weak or fallen arch.
This appliance is made light in weight and is
easy to wear. Relieves tired, aching feet, weak ankles,
callous spots, cramped feeling of toes and prevents
broken arch and flat foot Adjustable to all feet with
either high or low insteps. Bridges the weight of the
body from heel to toe.
"Put your feet in Stryker's hands" for belpful ad
vie on the care of feet combined with scientific shoe
fitting.
