Austin: The Railroad Commission
Issued notice of hearing for March 8
to consider the matter of reducing the
Joint rates charged by express com-
panies. It is proposed to make the
Joint rates the local rates for the same
or equal distance plus 20 per cent.
In other words, if the local rate for
100 mles should be 50c, it would be
60c for the same distance if the pack-
age had to move over two lines of ex-
press companies in traversing the 100
miles. A proviso is also added which
would have the effect or preventing the
rule proposed from raising rates now

Food and Dairy Commissioner,___
handed out the following important
statement regarding the seizure clause
of the pure food law, the constitution-
ality of which has been brought into
question by a proceeding at Dallas:
“All adulterated or misbranded foods
and drugs that have been seized under
Sec. 24 of the pure food and drug law
□f Texas are hereby released. There
will be no effort, at the present time,
to test the constitutionality of this sec-
tion of the law. It is illegal, however,
for anyone to manufacture for sale,
affer, or expose for sale, or have in his
possession with intent to sell, any il-
legal, misbranded or adulterated prod-
ucts except that they may be shipped
aut of the State, provided they are
not in violation of the National pure
food law.

far as to show that they were kept in
a place where they were naturally sup-
posed to be.

line, 1,000 cases of benzine, 500 gal-
lons of turpentine and large quantities
of alcohol made the work of the fire-

ative Champ Clark, minority leader,
who has been designated with him by
the committee to draft the instrument
authorizing the investigation. The
committee is to inquire into any alleg-
ed increase in the cost of necessaries
of life, some of which, such as cloth-
ing, fuel, furniture, meats, and food-
stuffs, are enumerated. Wholesale and
retail prices and rates of profit are to
be investigated. The question of
whether the tariff is responsible for
the alleged high cost of living is cov-
I ered by a general provision "as to
whether prices are affected, increased
or otherwise by any laws of the Unit-
ed States.”
The hearings of the committee will
be open to the public. It may sit any-
where in the United States and sum-
mon and swear witnesses.

Washington, D. C.: The cost of
living in the United States is to be
thoroughly inquired into by the House
of Representatives through its most
powerful committee—the Ways and
Means. Representative Payne, chair-
man of that committee and majority
leader, introduced his resolution pro-
viding for an investigation along the
broadest lines.

Washington: As the rivers and har-
bors bill now stands, it will carry the
following items for Texas:
Galveston Harbor—For jettie and
channels $500,000, being $250,000 for
widening and deepening the channel
under the Greater Galveston harbor
plan, $100,000 for the repair of jetties,
any remainder of this sum to be used
on the channel, and $150,000 for dredge

Galveston would get.

deepening and turning basin, $50,000.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the'power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill-
fully selected food that exactly fita-

poor fire is not a good steam producer.
“From not knowing how to selccMhA i
right food to fit my needs, I suffered « ■
grievously for a long time from atom-
ach troubles,” writes a lady from a
little town in Missouri.
“It seemed as if I would never ba
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that I could eat would stay on my stom-
ach. Every attempt gave me heart*
- my stomach with gas.
I got thinner and thinner until I lit*
erally became a living skeleton and la
time was compelled to keep to my bed.
A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning 'Ab'
that I have kept up its use ever since.
I was surprised at the ease with which
I digested IL It proved to be just what
I needed.
“All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart burn, the Inflated feeling which ‘ 1
gave me such pain disappeared. My
weight gradually Increased from 9B
to 11G lbs., my figure rounded out, my
strength catne back, and I am dowm
nble to do my housework and enjoy It^^F
Grape-Nuts did It” |
A ten days’ trial will show anyone
some facts about food.

, Twelve years ago, Massachusetts
made the first appropriation for a<
state sanitarium. Since that time, V
over $10,000,000 has been appropri-
ated by state legis’atures for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, and about an.
equal sum by municipal and county
authorities. The federal government
has over $1,000,000 Invested in tuber-
culosis hospitals, and spends annually
about $500,000 in their maintenance.
Every year the percentage of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led ths
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been made to have-
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin of the national as-
sociation states that the final success
of the anti-tuberculosis crusade de-
pends on every city and state provld- m
ing funds to treat and prevent con-
sumption.
Frankfort, Ky.: The tenth anniver-

Goebel was observed Thursday by the

nor.

WALTER HODGES, Ed. and Pub.
Washington: When Senator McCum-
ber of North Dakota started out to
clear the skirts of the farmer from
the charge of increasing prices of food
products in the Senate, he took an il-
lustration which could not be impeach-
ed. It was the bill of fare and prices
from the Senate restaurant.
After showing that the price of a sir-
loin steak in the restaurant, was from
$1.15 to $3, a tenderloin about the
same, and a porterhouse $2 to $4, Sen-
ator McCumber produced figures from
the keeper of another restaurant to
show the profits. This man estimated
that, with the farmer getting $60 to
$80 for an average steer, the profit
was remarkable and that the steer
ought to be worth about $2,500.
Hashed brown potatoes at the rate
of 30c for a double order, which Sen-
ator McCumber seemed to think was
a necessity for a man with a good
appetite, amounts to 30c. At 30c a
bushel, which the farmer gets, this
represents, according to his calcula-
tion, a profit of 4,000 per cent.

work of making this place a terminal

being accomplished. A chamber of
commerce has been organized and a
campaign of pubicity has been plan-
ned. Liberal contributions have been
niade for this work by business men.
Along building lines many substan-
tial structures are being erected. The
$50,000 refrigerating plant is about
completed. At least twenty-five con-
crete houses are under construction,
while residences are going up in all
(•arts of the town site. In a few months
the population of Aransas Pass has
increased to 2,500. A system of street
lamps has been installed, streets are
being graded and a large force of men
is at work constructing the ocean
driveway that will traverse the bay
from Ingleside to Aransas Pass, Rock-
port and Bayside.
The channel to the mainland has
. been cut inland through Harbor island,
J a distance of more than 6000 feet.
From the mainland out toward the
Jetties the channel has been cut a dis-
tance of 10,000 feet. There are still
about 16,000 feet to be cut before the
channel will have been completed.
