Damascus, Syria, March 7. —-If
Damascus be not the oldest city in the
world she is at least one of the old
est, and if she wants to claim the
honor of being the very oldest there
is none that can gainsay it. For
Damascus was founded in the very
dawn of history and gets "a casual
mention in the fifteenth chapter of
Genesis—and Sodom and Gomorrah
are about the only cities that get into
sacred writ any earlier. And neither
of them is present to dispute the
claims of Damascus.
At present Damascus isn't the place
it used to be. Time was when Damas
cus was a great manufacturing and
commercial center as well as a great
seat of learning. But the learning
went to Cairo, the manufacturing tp
Sheffield and Pittsburg and the com
merce to Liverpool and elsewhere.
However, Damascus can sit back
and be secretly pleased in this regard:
FAVORS FEDERAL
REGULATION OF
ALL RAILROADS
Brandeis Says This Is Neces
sary to Secure Publicity If
for No Other Reason.
WOULD MAKE THEM BETTER
AsunciafFd Press.
New York, March 7.—Louis D.
Brandeis of Boston, who led the fight
on the railroad rate advances before
the Interstate Commerce commission,
has submitted a statement of his
views on the federal regulation of
railroad securities to the railroad se
curities commission, of which Presi
dent Hadley of Yale is chairman.
Mr. Brandeis declares that in his
opinion, federal regulation must even
tually be established if f° r nc
other purpose, in order to secure the
necessary degree of publicity. He
Is positive, however, that the effect of
the regulation must not be to place
any fixed limit on the returns which
may be earned by railroad stock.
"I believe,” said Mr. Brandeis, "that
the government should be prepared to
lend its aid to the railroads so as to
secure to them greater justice by per
mitting them to enjoy earning cn cap
ital in proportion to the efficiency of
their management. To this end a
great forward step will be accomplish
ed if the government should establish
a bureau of railroad cost and an ex
perimental station in railroad econo
mies.
"No one railroad ought to be asked
to carry the cost of the investigation
along these lines, which are vital to
the welfare of all the railroads, and
an expenditure similar to that which
is now made through the department
of agriculture for the scientific ad
vancement ct farming would be en
tirely justified, in view of the vast
importance of the railroad industry.

They can’t make Damascus blades in
Sheffield or in Pittsburg. Fact is that
they can’t make real ones any more,
even in Damascus. For the real art
of Damascus sword makers of old
ia lost now. Western fabricators
make so-called “Damascus" gun bar
rels by braiding their steel before it
is forged on the mandril, but no mod
ern Damaskeening approaches that of
the smiths who made the Damascus
blades of old with a sheen like water
ed silk and the elasticity of a watch
spring.
Still the modern smiths of Damas
cus make a fair stab at It. And they
do their work in the same primitive
fashion set by their forefathers. Wit
ness the picture printed herewith,
showing a couple of latter-day sword
makers of Damascus at work.
From Damascus we shall go by

among other things, the tomb of

tn theii* scope for, after determining
the unit costs of each operation in
every department of the railroads—-
not merely how much it costs to
maintain a locomotive, but what the
unit cost is for each process involved,
the government should take the next
step and ascertain what the cost
ought to be, according to the best
standards here and abroad. The mere
knowledge of what it has cost in the
paist Is net sufficient
“In addition the government should
undertake an experimental station in
railroad economics, on the line of the
experimental stations of the United
States department cf agriculture. Such
a station would not only develop be
yond the possibility of doubt valuable
inventions and discoveries in its own
laboratories, but it would be of even
greater service in testing the inven
tions made and methods suggested by
others In and out of the railroad serv
ice.
Bureau as Clearing House.
“The government bureau would,
therefore, become a great clearing
house for the best thought cn this
subject and the railroads, by having
placed at their disposal the best re
sults attainable in the different de
partments of their operation, would
have motive enough tc- avail them
selves of these advantages If they
understood that the return they
would be allowed to earn would not
be limited by anything but their abil
ity tc render efficient service.”

Tragic End of Honeymoon Which by
All Human Rules Ought to Have
Been Most Happy.
New York. March 7.—Five years
ago in Italy. Ferdinand Burti took
leave of his sweetheart on the eve of
his departure for America.
“But people get rich soon over
there,” he argued in answer to her
tears. “Maybe in a year I shall have
enough money to send for you. and we
shall be married. Then there will be
nothing except happiness."
The young fellow—he was then only
-18 years old —found it harder to get
rich in America than he had expect
ed. Nevertheless he toiled faithful
ly for the achievement of his great
ambition, and he wrote every week to
his swetheart at home. He had a job
in Elizabeth. N. J., and he saved ev
ery cent that was possible. Still It was
five years before he could afford to (
send for the girl.
She arrived only a few weeks ago.
They were married last Satruday
evening. Tuesday night they died.
It was one of those fnexplicible fa
talities that are not tragedies because
noneHs left to mourn. The bride and
bridegroom sat up late Tuesday night
in their cozy cottage at No. 614 Fourth
street, Elizabeth.
It is thought that they retired short
ly after midnight. They were found
dead next morning. A gas jet had
been accidentally turned on, and their
dream of happiness which had been
realized for thre days was ended.

The Modesty of Women
Naturally makes them shrink from the indelicate questions, the ob
noxious examinations, and unpleasant local treatments, which some
physicians consider essential in the treatment of diseases of women.
Yet, if help can be had, it is better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the wom
an undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing. Thousands f
of women who have been cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion write in appreciation of the cure which dispenses with the exam
inations and local treatments. There is no other medicine so sure
nnd for delicate women as “ Favorite Prescription.” It cures
debilitating drains, irregularity and female weakness. It always helps. It
almost always cures.
“ Favorite Prescription ” is strictly non-alcoholic, non-secret,
all its ingredients being printed on its bottle-wrapper; con
tains no deleterious or habit-forming drugs, and every native
medicinal root entering into its composition has the full en
dorsement of those most eminent in the several schools of
medical practice.
Some of the numerous and strongest of professional endorsements of its ingredi
ents will be found in a pamphlet wrapped around the bottle, also in a booklet
mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. These profes
sional endorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordi
nary lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The most intelligent women now-a-days insist on knowing what they take as
medicine instead of opening their mouths like a lot of young birds and gulping
down whatever is offered them. “Favorite Prescription” is of KNOWN COM
POSITION. It makes weak women strong and sick women well.
Dr. Pierce’s Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay ex
