Railroad Magnate Explains
Deals Causing 'Frisco
Line's Beeeivership.
Washington. D. C, Nov. 19. The al
leged partnership of the officials of the
M. Louis & San Francisco railvrav in syn
dicates that promoted small railroads
that later were sold to the "Frisco, was
inquired into at the hearing before
(hairman Clark of the interstate com
merce commi-sion here as the causes of
the present receivership of the line.
Yoakum Explains Deals.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the 'Fnsso
board of directors, when the road went
into receivership, was the only witness.
The svnd.cate that built various sub
idiar" lines was promoted by the St.
Loui Union Trust company, and in an
swer to nianv questions Mr. Yoakum
referred his interrogators to the records
of the trust company.
Among the subsidiary lines eoncern
ng which questions were asked were the
-t Louis & Oklahoma Gity. the Iberia
& Northern, the St. Louis. Oklahoma &
Southern and the St. Louis & Gulf.
As to the Iberia & Northern svndi
rate. Mr. Yoakum testified he trans
i erred his interests in that road to the
Frisco for what it cost him plus 6 per
cent interest. y
D. E. Brown, an examiner for the
interstate commerce commission, said
the record- showed $212.00 paid o
Yoakum. Mr. Yoakum replied .that if
that -were true, it represented nfe profit
over the 6 percent interest. On several
tit her roads. Mr. Yoakum could not re
member the profit. He said he had an
interest inJhe St. Louis & Gulf, but
did not remember whether his profit
va-, $38,000. as Mr. Brown said the rec
ord indicated.
This record, as cited by Brown, showed
that Yoakirn invested $75,000 and re
eled S11C000.
Seasons for Receivership.
Mr. Yoakum gave his reason for the
Tecenership. which may be summarized
as follows:
One The failure of the road to Fell
nzona and Xcw Meicolands for $6.
000.000 or $7,000,000. By this deal the
"Kr'co hored to get enough money to
tneot pressing obligations.
Two The loss sustained bv the Trisco
on an inve-tment in Texas and Louisiana
P'n lumber properties.
Three A loss of more than $350,000
each vear on the ownrehip of the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois railwav. This
ownership extended over 11 years. The
two roads have been severed under the
-eeehershin. Before the receivership the
"Frisco failed in an effort to sell a half
interest in the road.
Mr. Yoakum explained the lumber
deal at length. Bv this deal the Triseo
pcquired a large interest in the Kirby
Lumber companv of Texas.
"These were the davs of combines and
mergers." he said. "The Santa Fe and
other roads had carried out such deals
"-uceessfnJJv. It was important to get
-ontrol of the last big natch, of pine
t-mber in the United States. It was
part of a hi; olan to make the Missis
sippi valler the highway of : great
traffic to the gulf. Other railroads had
their eves on the same opportunity.

success If we had met success, the re-eie"-ship

SOME DON'TS!
Cannot Atone By Giving
People In Moderate Circumstances
Think the Very Itich Profit
m ThMr Kxnensc.
-By Dr. Charles II. Earkhurst-
MR. FRANCIS PEABODY made an
exceedingly compact and telling
statement at the service held In
'memory of the late Bobeet C. Ogden,
when he said: "Money prodigally be
stowed does not atone for money
criminally gotten." There Is nothing
original In the thought, but tew could
have expressed it so concisely and
pungently. The way a thing is saia
makes out half of its effect.
The truth of Dr. Peabodj-s aphorism
will pass across the mind of people in
comfortable circumstances without
leaving very deep impression, but it
means a great deal to a poor man
whose life is a continual- s:ruggle "with
the problem of ways and means, and
who believs, rightly or wrongly, that
some of the funds that are dealt out
in large masses of charity by the es
Iremelv wealthy included money that
really "belonged to himself, and that
the great fortunes accumulated in
these days and prodigally expended
are made up in considerable part of
wages due to the laboring man, but
unjustly withheld.
The way the matter is considered fty
the poor is expressed in unmistakable
terms by the writer of a letter that
recently came to hand.
"I would not "advise any boy how to
make millions-of dollars, because no
man eer made his millions without
depriving the poor of what belonged
to them: and no matter how much they
fool around with their socalled charity,
giving a little here and a little there or
what they took, which is overplenty,
they never do full justice.
How One Poor 3Inn AtIctvs Philan
thropists. "Giving a million dollars or so to
some institution or college that a poor
boy can't go to because he has to pay
to enter, and then lowering tthe poor
mans pay or going up a cent on a
gallon of oil or raising the price on
some other article in order to make It
balance. Is- a nice thing to do and call
it charity. Going to church and pray
ing to God and asking His forgive
ness is not going to maxe their deeds
any fcetter; neither is it going to bring
to STe. the many -poor oula -who
through their fault have passed
away." "-"" "
A man cannot be generous till ne is
just, and to give in charity the clip
pings cut from workingmen's wages
is hypocritical fraud practised both on
the working man and the public, but
too transparent to escape detection or
the "eye of Him who seeth not as man
seeth; for man looketh on the out
ward appearance, but God looketh on
the heart-"

HEXS MUST HAVE' EXERCISE
TO LAY, h.VYS POULTRYMAN
Madison, Wis.. Nov, 19. Amusement
and exercise for poultry is advocated
by James G. Halpin. poultryman for
the college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, as a means of
preenting the annual winter shortage
of eggs.
"Right now poultry houses should be
deeply bedded with dry straw," said
Halpin, "and the grain fed should be
worked into this litter so that the hens
can get good exercise and amusement
hunting for it If nothing of this kind
is done, the flock will huddle together
and lose all interest in life and win.
ter eggs will be few.
It is well to get the hens to exer
cising and singing as they work for
their feed."

Manners Purify or Corrupt
Nothing Add More to the Charm of
1,11c Than Graciousness; Each
Person Is an Example.
By Mrs. Frank Learned
THERE is in manners, as in mor
als, what may be called a dan
ger point of departure, a slight
relaxing of our high standards, scarce
ly noticeable at first, but a departure,
and very soon there Is further relax
ing. It must be remembered that man
ners are what purify or corrupt, exalt
,or debase, refine or barbarize. Un
consciously our manners act on mor
als, and by their quality manners aid
morals or destroy them.
The only safety in manners depends
on avoiding the first steps away from
the ideal of perfection. If we find
ourselves a little more selfish, irri
table, a little more indifferent to the
feelings of others, we need to be on
our guard. Courtesy moves along the
level ways where most o life goes on
and generally has to do -with the com
paratively small matters which make
up life.
Kindly words, sympathizing atten
tions, watchfulness against wounding
the sensitiveness of others these
things are priceless in their value. Wc
are conscious of being cheered and
sustained by the small kindnesses we
receive from others, from hour to
hour, moment to moment, and by
giving them to those with whom we
come in contact.
Should Set a Higher Slark.
Instead of being satisfied with not
having very rude manners we must
take a positive and not a negative way
and try to make definite progress to
ward true courtesy and graciousness.
Instead of letting ourselves slacken we
should set a higher mark and add
something to the quality of our every
day manners. If the ideal of the
beauty of courtesy prevailed in social
life, home life and in the business
world, there would be pleasure and
harmony in our relationships with
people.
Nothing adds more to the charm of
life than graciousness. Rough blunt
ness is never a valuable possession.
People who are unattractive are self
asserting, conceited, insolent, stub
born. They insist on having their own
way. and never .make concessions.
Real Gracionsness a- Vlrtue'iExercled.
Real graciousness is a. virtue exer
cised, not a virtue assumed. We have
to go back to St Paul's epistles to be
reminded that charity, which is really
love, unselfishness and which "suffer
eth long and is kind," "vauhteth not
itself, it not puffed up." is at the root
of all courtesy and graciousness. It
needs constant practice. It has to be
willed often in look, or word, or act
when the inclination is against it;
but if practiced faithfully it blos
soms in the life.
Unless we keep our standard of
manners high we forget our respon
sibility to others. Each person is an
example, helpful or harmful. "We can
never know how far our influence may
go. "We are offering all trimmed and un
trimmed hats at reduced prices. Ernests

IF KIDNEYS ACT.
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is a sign you have
been eating-' too much meat which
forms uric acid.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the Kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a -well-known
authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks tne kidneys In
their effort to filter it from the blood
and thev become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous waste,
else you have "backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells: - your stomach sours,
tongue Is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy
sician at once or get Trom your
Pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
baits; take a tablespoonful In a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of g.lipes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean aiyl
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in .the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus endirig bladder
weakness. '
Jad Salts Is a life saver for roguiar
meat eaters. It is inexpensive', can
not injure and makes a delightful,
effervescent lithia-water dpjnk. Ad

FRENCH DEPUTIES
PASS ELECTION BILL
Paris, France, Nor. 19. The chamber
of deputies, by a vote Of 333 to 225,
adopted the electoral reform bill, after
restoring, in modified form, the clause
providing for proportional representa
tion h. rci-iion of which by the sen
ate last March caused the overthrow of j
the Briand ministry.
Other changes in the bill were intro
duced, notably a clause that the num
ber of deputies to be elected shall be
fixed according to the number of regis
tered electors and not according to the
number of population.
This will have the effect of reducing
the strength of the chamber from 597
to 520 and will greatly benefit the coun
try districts at the expense of the
cities.
