PUBLIC SERVICE
CASES DECIDED
Three Complaints Against
Sand Rates; Gossip of
Capitol Hill
In deciding three
\\\ % //J complaints against
S\\\ rates charged by
railroads for trans
portatlon of sand
and gravel in the
I* J qk Pittsburgh and
11 NuWlvmtnr o,her districts east
°' t * le Allegheny
mountains Chair
~" man Ainev. of the
Public Service
Commission, expresses dissatisfaction
with the whole rate structure for
hauling sand. The opinions were fil
ed to-day in the cases of the Rowen
na Stone and Sand Co., Rowenna,
Somerset county, against the Balti
more and Ohio; Iron City Sand Co.,
Pittsburgh, against the Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie, West Side Belt and
Pittsburgh, Charltiers and Youghio
gheny; and McCrady Brothers com
pany, Wilkinsburg, against the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie and Pennsyl
vania railroads, in each of which the
increased rates were disapproved.
Many thousands of dollars are involv
ed.
The chairman gees into the cases ex
haustively and in the latter case re
marks, "It appears that efforts have
from time to time been made by the
respondents and other carriers to
come to some understandng with the
sand and gravel shippers, but the lat
ter unfortunately have not been able
to agree among themselves. Perhaps
the net retult of these conferences
was a reduction on rates for the long
hauls; in any event the responsibility
still remains upon the carriers to pre
pare a rate schedule which shall more
equitably and reasonably meet the re
quirements of sand and gravel trans
portation. We recognize that as yet
rate-making is not an exact science,
but there are certain well-establish
ed principles which can easily be ap
plied leading "to better conclusions
than have as yet been reached in the
schedules affecting these commodi
ties." Permission is given to estab
lish a new tariff.
In the Rowenna case the decision
says "When we turn to a considera
tion of the so-called sand and gravel
rate structure of this and other car
riers, as applicable to the Pittsburgh
and Johnstown districts, we are lost
in the meshes of complexity. There
appears to be no uniformity of thought
or expression in formulating these
rates." In the Iron City company the
opinion says, "The whole sand rate
structure for this district needs re
vising upon a basis which shall make
it a fairly harmonious scheme equit
ably and scientifically prepared."
Cases Withdrawn—Some of the
Western Pennsylvania cases involv
ing right to operate electric power
plants were withdrawn yesterday and
the commission will have briefs filed

Tan, Red or Freckled
Skin Is Easily Shed
To free your summer-soiled skin ot
Its muddlness, freckles, blotches or tan,
the best thing to do Is to free yourself
of the skip itself. This is easily ac
complished by the use of ordinary mer
colized wax, which can be had at any
drug store. Use at night as you use
cold cream, washing it off in the morn

powder-like particles. Gradually the
entire cuticle is absorbed, without pain
or inconvenience. The second layer of
skin now in evidence presents a spotless
whiteness and sparking beauty obtain
able in no other way. ,

and harmless remedy you can readily
make at home. Just let one ounce ot
powdered saxolite dissolve in a half
pint witch hazel and bathe your face
in the liquid This at once tightens tho
skin and smooths out the lines, making
you look vears younger. Advertise

Secret of Russian Army's
Success Is Its Artillery
By Associated Press
Budapest, via London. July 25.
Overwhelming artillery power is the
| secret of the Russian successes, ac
i cording to a semiofficial statement
| published here. The article says:
"'What is the reason for the Rus-
I sian successes? Briefly, the answer is
nothing but overwhelming artillery'
i The war is developing more and more
; into a war of mechanics and Indus
i tries. What Russia cannot provide in
this respect is being given her by her
i allies. She has received munitions in
I enormous quantities.
"On a front of a dozen miles the
normal number of cannon is two hun
dred to three hundred. If this num
ber is doubled or trebled and masses
of ammunition are provided, then
relative superiority is established. Our
I artillery cannot rival the overpowering
strength of the enemy's guns and is,
therefore unable to protect our in-
I fantry."

HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH
COMFORTS ADDED
AT TROOP CAMP
Harrisburg Cavalrymen at Fort
Bliss Now Enjoy Water Piped
Right to Their Quarters
Camp Stewart, Fort Bliss, Tex.,
July 25.—With the construction of big
water lines to the camp of Troop C,
the Governor's Troop, of Harrisburg,
Pa., the placing of floors In the
kitchen, mess and officers' tents,
and the erection of substantial shower
bathhouses and the housing of the
toilets of the various troops, Indica
tions are that the present camp will
develop into a permanent camp.
The canteen that the men of the
Harrisburg troop started yesterday
has been ordered suspended. Orders
from the hospital corps were respons
ible for the suspension of the canteen
shortly after It had been opened.
Because of the distance to town,
and the lack of any luxuries in the
camp diet, the canteen was organized
for the sale of candles, lemonade,
tobacco, cigarets, and other such
details. The affair was being operated
under the supervision of Sergeant
Charles Harclerode and was doing a
big business when the orders to sus
pend were received from headquar
ters.
Yesterday the Governor's Troop or
ganized its signal corps. It will con
sist of the two trumpeters. Paul Kur
zenknabe and Paul W. Sharp, and the
following privates: Bert Craig, John
Braselman, William Gardner, Paul
Houck, Arlington Strausback, Cor
poral Clyde Peters and four others not
yet named.
Private William Pendergast has
been made wagoner of the Governor's
Troop to fill the vacancy caused by
the assigning of Wagoner Paul An
derson to headquarters. Pendergast
will have charge of the wagons and
mules of the Harrisburg troop Just
as soon as such equipment is as
signed. Anderson will drive the
mules and wagon assigned to the
headquarters of the regiment, hauling
the material for use at the tent of
Colonel Wood and his associates.
Identification tags have been issued
to each man in the Harrisburg troop.
The tags consist of a metal disk with
the name, rank, and troop of each
man. They are placed on a cord and
hung about the neck of each cavalry
man. Should injury befall the troop
ers, the tag about their necks will
identify them.
Many of them now believe that they
will not receive horses and ■will not
see service in Mexico. The married
men who desire discharge and have
dependents, may receive them, but
they would be forced to pay their own
fare home, which amounts to nearly
S6O, or four months army wages. As
the result, the men are remaining
in the army.

oxygen helmets which were unavail
able. Of those rescued who after
wards died no pulmotors were at hand
for use in attempting to resuscitate
them. The lack of rescue apparatus
was roundly condemned by the rescu
ers and Mayor Harry L. Davis to-day
promised to conduct a rigid investiga
tion into this shortcoming as well as
into the catastrophe Itself.
The third rescue party was \squip
ped with helmets which had been as
sembled but nearly eleven hours has
elapsed following the explosion before
sufficient equipment to fit out the third
rescue party was at hand to permit a
descent into a tunnel.
Ton Caupht in Blast
The explosion of gas occurred about
a hundred feet from the crib in the
new tunnel which will connect with
the big filtration plant recently erected
on the west. Ten men were caught on
the shaft. Eight men who were in
the crib at the time and heard the
explosion, rushed down to investigate.
They found the air lock jammed, but
William Dolan, lock tender, cut his
way through from the Inside with an
ax and admitted the rescuers. They
plunged into the tunnel but were over
come. Dolan managed to drag John
Johnson and Peter McKenna out and
get them to the elevator in the crib
shaft. All three were In a dazed con
dition from the gas, but managed to
reach the crib and the alarm was
given. Rockets were sent up and the
telephone was used to bring aid.
Rescuers Driven Bark
Life savers and the fire tug crews
rushed to the crib and organized the
remaining workers at the crib into a
rescue party in an effort to reach the
sixteen imprisoned men, but no head
way could be made on account of the
gas.
A third rescue party was organized
in an effort to reach some of the Van
Duzen party, Thomas Clancy, stepson
of Van Duzen, taking the lead. They
reached the air lock and through tne
bull's-eye could see four men of the
Van Duzen party lying inside. By
smashing the glass Clancy and the
others although partially overcome by
the poisonous gas, managed to drag
out three men. When they got them
to the surface the men were apparent
ly dead. Strenucrus efforts made to
revive them succeeded but they died
in a hospital, It is reported.
The cause of the explosion has not
yet been ascertained. It is supposed
that some workman struck a pocket
of gas with a pick, or possibly gas
had collected in the tunnel and be
come Ignited by an electric spark.
The tunnel was equipped with elec
trically driven machinery for excavat
ing.
A party of trained rescuers from
the Pittsburgh, Pa., station of the
Bureau of Mines left here to-day for
Cleveland to assist in relief work in
the water works tunnel.

o People Who are
Under Normal Weight
Good Advice For Thin, Unde
developed Men and Women
Who Want to Put
on Flesh
Thousands of people suffer from ex
cessive thinness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs who, having tried ad
vertised flesh-buildeVs, food-tads, physi
cal culture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to life-long skinni
ness and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. A
recently discovered combination of as
similative agents has made fat grow
after years of thinness, and It is also
unequalled, judging from reports, for
repairing the waste of sickness o«
faulty digestion and for strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable prepara
tion is called Sargol. Six strength-giv
ing, fat-producing assimilative elements
of acknowledged merit have been
combined in this preparation, which is
endorsed and used by prominent people
everywhere. It is absolutely harmless,
inexpensive and efficient.
A few weeks' systematic "use of Sar
gol should go far to produce flesh and
strength by correcting faults of diges
tion and by supplying nourishing fats
to the blood. If not, every druggist
who sells it is authorized to return the
purchase price. Increased nourishment
Is obtained from the food eaten ,and the
additional fats that thin people need are
thus provided. G. A. Qorgas and other
leading druggists supply Sargol and
say there is a large demand for it.
While this new preparation has from
reports given splendid results as a
nerve-tonic and vitallser, its use is not
recommended to nervous people unless
they wish to gain at least ten pounds of
flesh.—Advertisement.

do Its work even when you put good

sation.

needs help; needs something to make
it work Just as nature Intended it
should. And there is no better help
than after each meal to drink half a.
tumblerful of hot water in which one
or two teaspoonfuls of blsurated mag
nesia have been dissolved. The hot
water will cleanse the stomach lining
and the blsurated magnesia will
sweeten the stomach and overcome the
acids which are the cause of the burn
ing misery and pain of indigestion. Try
this simple remedy for a few days. Just
hot water in which a little blsurated
magnesia has been dissolved, and see
how much better you feel. If you are
troubled with a heartburn or stomach
suffering an hour or two after eating,
repeat tne hot water and magnesia. It s
a simple prescription, cannot harm the
most delicate stomach an 4 Is sure to

Most Eminent Medical ■
Authorities Endorse It/
Dr. Ehorlc and Dr. Braithwaits u
well ae Dr. Sim on all distinguished
authors—agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing us with a clue to the princi
ples upon which it is to be treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning the
nature of disease can thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or if
nric acid in the blood has caused rhea*
matism, gout or sciatica or you suspedfi
kidney or bladder trouble lust write Dr.
Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N.Y.; send a sample of urine and de«
scribe symptoms. You will receive frea
medical advice after Dr.Pierce's chemist
has examined the urine this will be
carefully done without charge, and yoa
will be under no obligation. Dr. Pierca
during many years of experimentation
haa discovered a new remedy which he
finds is thirty-soven times more power
ful than lithia in removing uric acid
from the system. If you are suffering
from backache or the pains of rheuma
tism, go to your best druggist and ask
for a 60-cent box of "Antinc" put up
by Dr. Pierce. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for weak women and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
the blood have been favorably known
for the past forty years and more. They
are standard remedies to-day—as well
as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for
the liver and bowels. You can get a
sample of any one of these remedies
by writing Dr. Pierce.
Doctor Pierce's Pellets are unequaled
as a Liver Pill. One tiny, Sugar-coated
Pellet a Dose. Cure Sick fieadache,
Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Constipa
tion, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and
all derangements of the Liver, Stomach
and Bowels.
