Lincoln, Oct. 29. (Specials While Mr. McAdoo. director gen eral of the railroads of the United States, is writing advertising posters telling the people what "I' want them to do, the public in general is having a lot of fun riding on Mr. McAdoo's trains for nothing' and reading his advertising while they ride. C. A. Robbins, a well known at torney of Lincoln, has just returned from a trip to the west. He says never in his experience, not even in populist days, has he seen so many people riding on passes. "On our Pullman there were just 16 people," said Mr. Robbins, "and I know from my own observation that four" of these, all young men, who from their conversation had been on a vacation, were riding on passes and had Pullman passes also. The porter was doing considerable kicking because so many people rid ing on Pullman passes, who were using upper berths, did not pay something extra and use the lower berths which were not so hard to make up." , According to other people this matter of free passes has been com mented on quite freely and they are wondering if the raise in railroad fare was for the purpose of dis couraging traveling so that so many and large trains would not have to be used, why the administration encourages more traveling than ever before by the issuance of passes. Railroad men say that never in Iheir recollection has the pass travel been so heavy as in the past few weeks. A gentleman from Boston in con versation with Mr. Kobbins, told him it seemed to him half the peo ple on the trains were riding free. ships, whereby nine southern states control congress?

PHONE RATES IN OMAHA RAISED BY NEW DEGREE State Railway Commission Gives Order Increasing Charge for Service in North Platte Territory. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Oct. 29. (Special.) The Nebraska Telephone company has been granted an increase in rates by the Nebraska, State Railway com mission while will give the company an increase in revenue of $425,000 per annum. The increase is on an emergency and for a period of six months. The fact that Postmaster General Burle-on and a committee appoint ed for that purpose is agitating and will probably put into effect a sys tem of Jephone rates all over the United States is one reason for the raise. The other reason is that because of the high wages paid employes of the railroads, the roads have been drawing employes from the tele phone companies until the matter, it is said has simply become a prop osition of raising rates to procure sufficient funds to pay employes to keep them from going to the railroads. Under the raise $330,000 of the amount will go for increases in wages, $60,000 for increase in taxes and $20,000 for increase in mate rials, beginning November 1, there will be a 25 per cent increase in tolls and on December 1 a 10 per cent increase in exchange rates.

A sex tonic and nerve builder is needed, such as Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription. An affection confined to women must have its cause in the womanly nature.

It makes weak women strong. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been for nearly 50 years the most favorably known herbal tonic for women. Ask your neighbors!

If railroad employes are thus to be secretly induced to vote against Senator Norris, this organization will be used to defeat one of the most faithful champions we ever had in the halls of congress. Friend of Workingman. "Senator Norris has always been one of the best friends the work ingmen have had in public life and the head officers of the various railroad brotherhoods, who have been in Washington in the inter ests of railroad men know this to be a fact. One notable instance is the long and tedious fight to se cure the passage of workmen com pensation laws. Senator Norris helped to make this fight from the beginning. He was a member of the committee having the bill in charge and was always recognized as one of its champions.- At one stage of the proceedings the bill was repc.ted um the committee by a majority of one. Senator vote. Norris saved the bill by his own Are the brotherhoods now to use their organization to defeat the man who stood by them in, a time of need? And are they to do this to elect a man who has never shown any sympatny tor lac-or a man whose whole public career has shown his ideas are with the capi t.listic class? "Let the railroad men vote for men for office whom they know are their friends and not take chances with men who we are sure will . . against us.

Paxton & Gallagher Co. Omaha MS i itel Pay Your Money and Take Your Choice: Oct. 26th, Dr. Manning, Health Commitiioner, i quoted: "The damp weather of Sat urday is extremely favorable to propagation of the disease. A 'flu' germ out side of the human body can only live about 15 minutes in dry, sunshiny weather. ' But in damp weather iti lease on life is much longer." Oct. 26th, dispatch to the Bee: "St. Paul, Minn. Eminent physicians here today said snow and wet weather will help prevent spread of influenza.'' ( t WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE But then, who ever heard of two doctors agreeing? They tell us the "flu" germ is so small it cannot be seen by .the most powerful microscope so one guess is as safe as the other. The various medical opinions on the "flu" are full of such amus-' ing contradictions, yet Dr. Manning, Health Commissioner, is vaccinat ing against influenza. I am opposed to all kinds of serums and vaccines, because it is against common sense to inject a foreign poison into the body. REMEMBER the 200 children at the Madison School who were poisoned last year. But I do not ask you to accept my opinion. Read what the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association says editorially concerning "Vaccines in Influ enza:" issue of Oct. 19: Report of special investigating board, DR. ROSENAU, chairman. "The evidence at hand affords no trustworthy basis for regarding prophylactic 7accination against influenza as of value in preventing the spread of the dis ( ease, or of reducing its severity. further experimental evidence1 should be collected." Issue of Oct. 26th: "How slender the basis for this anti-influenzal vaccination when it is considered that the real nature of influenza is unknown!" DO YOU WANT TO BE EXPERIMENED ON? When "modern medical science" after years of experience with grippe and influenza has to fall back on whiskey and aspirin two drugs heretofore in disrepute with the profession isn't it time to stop swallow ing conflicting medical theories and turn to a sane, logical method?
