Even Rheumatism, Sciatica and Neuritis Yield to Marvelous New Discovery The nerves of your body are like electric wires. They carry the nerve energy (neuro-electrlcity) which is generated in the brain to all the cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths are insulated to resist a current of aout 4-1000 of a volt, as has been proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's galvanometer, an in strument so sensitive and accurate that for tho first time it is now possible to measure tho strength of nerve currents. It has been found that wherever acute inflammation occurs the in sulation of the nerves is broken down, making it difficult, and often impossible, for nature to heal the surrounding cells. Germs cannot live In healthy tissue; it is only through damaged cells that they thrive and spread. Obviously, therefore, the right way to success fully treat Inflammatory disease is to quickly repair the damaged in sulation and enable nature to re store the diseased tissue to a GLASSES FOR THOSE WINTER EVENINGS During the winter months everyone spends more time reading or sewing—gives their eyes harder usage, and works more by artificial light—than they do through all the other months of the year.

MAGEE SUGGESTS REHABILITATION OF COAL CANALS Urges That State Make Investi gation in Hope of Reducing Rates on Fuel Public Service Commissioner Wil liam A. Magee, of Pittsburgh, who was formerly chairman of the Lake Erie and Ohio Ship Canal board, to-day told the State commission to probe the increase in anthracite coal taxes that in his opinion the Legislature should name a commission to see whether it would not be worth while to revive the canal systems of Eastern Pennsyl vania so that coal could bo carried at cheaper rates from the mines to Phila delphia. As an alternative Mr. Magee suggested that the rivers could be so handled by means of dams and slack water that they could be used for transportation of coal at cheaper rates than are now charged or which may bo charged by the railroads. The re sult, he said, would make Philadelphia the great coal shipping center of the Atlantic coast. Mr. Magee embodied his views in a letter to the commission some time ago and to-day was accorded a hear ing for the purpose of going into them In detail and of being questioned by counsel for the commission and coal and railroad companies. In the course of his description of what could be done In the way of cheaper coal for Philadelphia and other Eastern Pennsylvania places Mr. Magee said that If It was found that the revival of the canals was feasible and the railroads or other companies holding what remains of them would not sell, the public service law offered a means of either requiring their use or of withdrawing the fran chises. Mr. Magee said that he did not think that the revival of the waterways for coal would cost the railroads as much as they feared and expressed the opinion that there could be a cheapen ing of rates for other commodities. Mr. Magee said: "Mr. Warriner's statements to this commission that the suggestion of transporting anthracite coal from the mines to Philadelphia by water is ridiculous and out of the question was, I believe, made Inconsiderately. The carriage of 11,000,000 tons of bitunii j nous coal annually on the Mononga j hela, a slack-watered stream, nine feet | deep, in 600-ton barges, at a cost of | not more than 1 mill per ton mile, I justifies a full Investigation of the i possibilities of canul or canalized river ; transportation in the valleys of the ! Schuylkill and the Lehigh-Delaware ! rivers of the 15,000,000 tons of anthra , cite shipped yearly to Philadelphia. "Such transportation might be 11m ' ited to only eight months in the year, as Mr. Warrlner says, and there may probably bo an irregularity of stream flow that would necessitate impound ; ing reservoirs such as the Hinkley dam on the barg? canal In the state of New York. Also It must be conceded that tolls should be imposed large enough to pay the expenses of operation, taxes, depreciation and a fair return upon , the capital invested, whether the im provements are effected out of private or public funds. Furthermore, it must not be forgotten that a short rail haul i from the collieries to the canalboats i and a terminal handling in the city would add other expenses to Jhe op j cration. Railroad and Canal I "The lowest railroad rate upon an | thraclte for prepared sizes to Phila delphia Is $1.70. This Is from points jin the Schuylkill region. From more remote districts the rate is as high as $2.10 per ton. I would advance, ten tatively, the following probable maxi mum water costs for comparison: "Rail haul from colliery to canal, an average distance of 20 miles, 1 cent per ton per mile 20 cents Boat haul to Philadelphia, 120 miles, 1 mill per ton per mile 12 cents Tolls on canal 30 cents City terminal expense 8 cents Total 70 cents "1 do not wish it to be understood that 1 infer a saving of $1 on every ton of coal shipped, because I con fess my Ignorance of the relative quan tities of pea coal and lesser sizes shipped out of the Schuylkill region at rates less than $1.70 and on the other hand of the quantity of prepared sizes from the other regions at much higher rates than $1.70. And I do not wish to be bound In the last analysis to my computation of water costs, which are all higher and more liberal than the actual figures, taken from like op erations in similar traffic movements elsewhere. My purpose here Is merely to suggest an engineering investigation. Two Canals "You have two large streams traversing the entire distance between the Schuylkill district and Philadel phia and on the banks of each of these | streams is an antiquated canal. The Schuylkill Navigation Company is owned by the Reading Company and the Coal and Navigation Com pany is the owner of a very large rail road mileage in the anthracite district. These two canals ore very shallow and of little width. The barges operating on them have a capacity of not ex ceeding 100 tons. An examination I should be made of the feasibility and advisability of their enlargement, in cluding an estimate of the cost of the improvement and of operating them. It would be necessary not only to widen and deepen them, but to enlarge their locks, probably lengthen their pool locate overhead bridges, provide im locato overhead ridges, provide im proved modern terminals, prepare for connection with Intersecting railroads, etc. "On the assumption that the narrow space on the river banks would not permit of the modernizing of those canals, a parallel investigation should be made with a view to canalizing the "rivers themselves, and the cost of effecting the Improvement.

StrOUSe & Co. 310 Market SL "I am induced to appear here also j because of the expressed belief that full relief can be obtained by a reduc tion of railroad rates through the Pub lic Service Commission and the courts. This opinion will not bear analysis, i Firstly, rail transportation expenses , are necessarily higher than water costs when favorable conditions exist for the 1 latter as here; secondly, no regulating body can determine exactly what the real expenses of hauling anthracite are by rail because of the impossibility of apportioning the total expenditures of a railroad over each and every part of its miscellaneous traffic; thirdly, even though the anthracite rail haul ex pensee were approximated by guess or rough calculation, a rate based on that theory would not be upheld. In pass ing upon the justice of rates, both legalistic and economic theory dictate the consideration of other elements besides tho actual cost of the services. Sound public policy and correct rail road operating policy may justify other freight movements at less relative re turn. Regulating bodies and courts always allow a very large margin of safety in passing upon rates when the demand for a reduction is based prin cipally upon cost of service. 1 Railroad's Plncc Secure "T am not an indiscrlmlnating en thusiast for water competition," he continued,. "The superior mobility of the railroad, tho greater speed, the easier terminal handling, the smaller units of transportation, make Its place secure In the modern Industrial state, but there are exceptional circum stances where nature has provided not only a cheaper method of carriage, but a large volume of slow, imperish able traffic as well. Where these two elements exist, a* they do In both the eastern and western parts of Pennsyl vania. advantage should be taken of them. And where a strong suspicion exists that monopoly is fostered by creatures of the State, that these! beneficiaries of State become i more powerful than the State Itself i the situation constitutes a challenge to I the State which only cowardice will I Ignore."
