RETURN OF ROADS
WOULD BRING HIGH
RATES, PREDICTION
Robert W. Woolley of Interstate
Commerce Corronission Makes
Address at Bankers' "Meeting.
ENDLESS CHAIN tiV ADVANCES
Cost of Production Would Reach
Point Where America Would
Be Put to Serious Disadvantage
Old Point Comfort, Va., June 19.
"(I. N. S.) The return of the rail
roads to private ownership would in
evitably start a rise in prices, "the
apex of which no man could truth
fully predict," Robert W. Woolley,
of the interstate commerce commis
sion today told the Virginia Bankers
association, In convention here.
Woolley's assertion was based for the
most part, he said, on statements of
railroad headsa that Immediately upon
resumption of private ownership the
carriers, would have to ask for increased
freight rates.
"The measure of this increase was not
Indicated," Woolley continued. "Some
. traffic men have expressed the view In
formally that it may have to be as much
as 80 per cent.
yo CHOICE BUT INCREASE
"The Interstate commerce commis
sion, after due showing of loss easily
made by the carriers, would have to
grant a reasonable advance in rates.
This advance would be briefly about
four-fold, that is the usual ratio, in
the finished products. Then the con
sumer, in the shape of labor, would com
plain that the purchasing power of the
dollar, having been further reduced, he
cannot longer live on the wages he is
receiving. Knter in due time more
strikes ; then an increase in raw mate
rial because of the higher cost of labor
and. lo, we are back again to the
railroads.
"These would be forced to turn again'
to the interstate commerce commission,
because not only would their labor have
justly demanded more, but the 'vicious
circle,' or "mounting triangle' that start
ed with the increase of rates so recently
granted; would have come to plague it
in the shape of higher fuel, higher steel,
higher everything, and the showing they
would make of need fr more revenue
would be just as convincing as the first
one.
TRADE WOULD BE DAMAGED
"If this course is to be pursued, it is
inevitable that we shall get the cost of
production so high, no matter how much
invention may increase our productivity
per man Europe is preparing to install
labor Saving machinery on a scale never
dreamed of before this was that we
would be estopped from competing be
yond, our shores once our allies, not to
speak of our present enemies, are on
their feet again."

HOWTHISWOMAN
GAINED STRENGTH
AFTER JNFLUENZA
Resident of Illinois Strongly
Indorses Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills as a Tonic.
Influenza sufferers who have been un
able to regain their strength and have
become depressed and melancholy be-,
cause of their failure to respond to treat
ment will find the experience of Mrs.
Dennis Cullen of No. 330 Bast Second
street, Gaiesburg, 111., both interesting
and beneficial.
"I had a severe attack of influenza."
says Mrs. Cullen, "and it left me run
down and very weak. I couldn't sleep
and it seemed as thouerh there was a
Fheavy 'weight on my stomach. My ap
petite was' poor. I suffered from severe
headaches and dizsy spells and ached
from head to foot at times. Sometimes
the pains in my head affected my eyes
and I was so weak that I had to rest fre
quently. The attacks of weakness often
came on while I was on the street and
I was hardly able to get home.
"A friend told me about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and she spoke so enthusias
tically of them that I began the treat
ment. The pills seemed to be exactly
what I needed, for in a short time my
appetite was improved and I began to
pick up strength, Every day I noticed
that I was a little stronger than the day
before and the headaches and dizzy
spells, first becoming less severe, disap
peared entirely. J am no longer nerv
ous and feel better than I have in a
long time."

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
j
Soap should be used very .carefully,' if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes tile hair brittle, and
ruins it. ; -
The best thing for steady use Is Mul
slfied cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and greaseless). arid is better than
anything else you can use.
One' or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the, hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance . of rich,
creamy lather which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, . dirt,
dandruff and excessive olt The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage. "
Tou can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family for
months. Adv. ' - :-.. ,-,
