Commission
er James Alcorn lays down this rule:
"'lt may be Impossible to provide
a seat at all times for all of the
passengers, but the respondent
should put on enough cars in the
early morning and In the evening
to accommodate the workmen." The
decision was given in a case which
raised questions as to the fairness
of an increase of rates and attacked
the service. A stipulation was filed
after a statement as to operating
costs on the line between the two
points and also that material prices
had increased from 38 to 800 per
cent., which resulted in the fare in
crease being upheld.
The commission finds that better
service can be provided and in addi
tion to ordering an extra car orders
tliot the company stop taking two
tickets from passpngers from Leba
•non to Palmyra, who have to change
C'.rs at Annville. "A passenger de
tiring to go to Palmyra should board
a Palmyra car. if there is room. If
the company fails to provide accom
modations for the people going to
Palmyra it should not take up two
tickets when they are compelled to
board an Annville car" says the re
port.

—Most Women Can Have
Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known
Ohio Physician
Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated
scores of women for liver and bowel ail
ments. During these years he gave to
his patients a prescription made of a
few well-known vegetable ingredients
mixed with olive oil, naming them
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. You will
know them by their olive color.
These tablets are wonder-workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a ;
normal action, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter in one's system.
if you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out
of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets nightly for
a time and note the pleasing results.
Thousands of women as well as men
take Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets—the
successful substitute for calomel—now
and then just to keep in the pink ofcondi

"I was in such a run-down condi
tion from nervousness and stomach
troubles, that I had to fight with my
self to keep going," says Mrs. Harry
D. of New Providence, Pa.
I was terribly run-down and weak,
and had no desire for food. What lit
tle I did eat done me no good. I was
growing weaker every day and I had
no desire for anything, but just mope
around, no ambition, no life; I was
merely existing. Oh, how I wished I
could again do my housework and
feel good. I was so despondent at
times that I cared not what became
of me. Now my acquaintances ask
me what in the world I am doing or
taking that makes me look so differ
ent. What a lot of good Tonall has
done for me! You can't imagine.
My apeptite is good, my nervousness
has disappeared. I sleep soundly,
my headaches are all gone, and I
have gained seven pounds In weight.
I feel full of life and ambition. I

thai the four roads are not llsiej of

ern icing a combination of electric
lire*. The commission find? that
the Northwestern is in the general
business of transporting frbght and
Commissioner M. J. Ryan, who
write the decision, says that it is a
company "of the same character as
| the three other respondent compan
ies, , within tlve meaning of the act
and the facts of this case." He also
says, "It must be recognized that
the development of the electrically
operated interurban lines has intro
duced a class that partakes of the
nature of both 'railroads' and 'rail
ways.' and of the 'same character'
ss each, as well as different." Mr.
Ryan remarks, "All parts of the
Public Service Company law should
be ro construed as to make a har
monious entirety. A railroad com
pany and a street railway corporation
are both public set-vice companies
charged with public duties and the
separation of them and other carriers
by definitions in the act Is intended
to more clearly embrace all and every
kind of them more securely within
the comprehensive scheme of regu
lation, which wo are authorized to
I exercise in order that the fullest
measure of adequate service may be
obtained for the people when rail
roads and railways are alike charter
ed to serve."
To Discuss Crossings— Chairman
W. D. B. Alney, of the Public Serv

the national direction of the rail
roads, will likely make a report to
his colleagues on the commission
late to-day or to-morrow. The com
missioners have not given any Inti

believed that In some cases, pos

work go on.

If you wake up with a bad taste,
bad breath and tongue is coated; If
your head is dull or aching; if what
you eat sours and forms gas and
acid In stomach, or you are bilious,
constipated, nervous, sallow and
can't get feeling just right, begin
inside bathing Drink before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels and
cleanse, sweeten and purify the en

side bathing immediately upon aris
ing in the morning to wash out of
the system all the previous day's
poisonous waste, gases and sour bile
before putting more food Into the

Td feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves

Just as soap and hot water act

Men and women who are usually

Making Business Better
Every business man who reads this knows that the
one thing he wants for his business is to make it better, it ought to be
quite easy for you to understand how we feel, then, about our business and about our
wanting to make it better Of course, we might not all agree on just what we mean
by better Some mean one thing, and some mean another.
As WE look at it, "better" business doesn't neces
sarily mean larger sales, though that's the common idea We believe
that sales do increase when a business gets better, but the sales are a result, not
merely a measure of the "better."
We have things to sell that men wear; we want to
sell them, of course; we bought them to sell But we'd a lot rather
have you come in because you want to buy these things, than to persuade you to
come in and buy because we want to sell them We feel pretty sure that
if we are careful enough about having the qualities in our merchanddise, and
putting prices on it that insure you good value for your money, and then
tell you the truth about what we have, and what it costs, we'll find that sales increase.
You see the "bettering" of a business depends chiefly
on the men "inside of the business"; and the INCREASE of sales de
pends largely on the men outside of it lf we do our part right, there's no need to be
anxious about your doing YOUR part —That's the way we want our business to get
better; that's why we have so much to say about the merchandise we sell for it's as
nearly right as it's possible to get.
