Shaving Parlor in the Hotel De Gink
The Hotel De Gink, recently
opened in New York City for the
winter accommodation of men who
cannot find work, has not all the
modern conveniences. The city gave
one of its buildings to the commit-
tee in charge, but the building con-
tained little more than bare rooms
sufficient to take care of about 150
men. The hobo shown in the illus-
tration found a piece of broken
looking glass in an ash barrel. He
borrowed a cheap safety ra*or, then
the shaving parlor was as complete
as the average hobo wishes. One
man had to shave at a time, and
sometimes he had to use a blade
which a half dozen before him had
already dulled. But it, was better
than no shave at all, and the men
stood in line to get a chance.

Lecturer National Farmers' Union.
The recent action of Ihe Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applica-
tion of the roads to state and inter-
state commissions for an' increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm-
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. It is the policy of the Farmers'
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectively meet the demands of com-
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move-
ment of farm products. If in the wis-
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an exten-
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in-
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist-
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ-
ized tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the ratVs and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out ofcour transportation system
and since we have had railroad com-
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to em-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and. as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product c the South, al-
ready bears the highest freight rate of
any necessary commodity in com-
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of* pro-
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the* products of
the plow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
What Is a Fair Rate?
We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim*to
know much about it, but if the pros-
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commis-
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm-
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor-
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur-
den, but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.
Don't you want to make
biscuits like this?
—browned perfectly on top, without being baked hard;
—a top crust that is velvety in texture;
—white as snow inside, breaking open with an appetizing
softness;
—and so light in weight that you wonder how they can be made.

That is exactly the kind of biscuits made with
Cottolene
The one great test of any shortening is with biscuits.
Use Cottolene—use a third less than of any ordinary shortening. It creams up
quickly; it mixes easily; it blends perfectly with the flour.
It bakes wonderfully, and when you have enjoyed biscuits made with Cottolene
you will be ready to believe that it is easily the finest cooking fat you ever used,
and you will use it for all your shortening, frying and cake making.
Your grocer has Cottolene now
Your grocer will deliver a pail of Cottolene to you today.
Arrange with him for a regular weekly supply. Thus he can
always deliver Cottolene to you—pure, sweet and clean from
original sources to finished product.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headache and diz-

kidney disorders. It's an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass off for a time but generally re-
turn with greater Intensity. Don't
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep\ up their use
until the desired results are ob-
tained. Good work in Shawnee
proves the effectiveness of this i
great kidney remedy.
Mrs. Lillian Ratcliff, 1207 Bast
Ninth St., Shawnee, says: "I was so
bad with kidney trouble that I could
not get up from a chair. My back
pained me all the time and I didn't
know what to do. I gave Doan's
Kidney Pills a trial and before long,
the pains left me and my kidneys
became normal. I am always ready'
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
to anyone who has kidney com-
plaint."

RADICALS JOIN HIM IN FIGHT AGAINST DOUBLE TAXATION
STATES A.TT*y WOVNL-
Says We Must Make Kidneys Clean
the Blood and Pimples Dis-
appear.
Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and im-
purities which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body. #
It is the function of *the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form ol
urine, but in may instances the
bowels create more toxins and im-
purities than the kidneys can elim-
inate, then the blood uses the skin^
pores as the next best means of get-|
ting rid of these impurities which(
often "break out all over the skin
in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin ^
of these eruptions, says a noted au-
thority, is to get from any phar-
Indictment of Julius Rosenwald, mil-
lionaire president of the Sears &
Roebuck Company, for refusal to file
his personal tax schedule, has pre-
cipitated a widespread ^protest in
Chicago against double taxation.
Tax reformers are congratulating
Rosenwald for standing firm, ana
declare that the indictment carries
no stigma and that he will be re-
membered some day as a true
patriot. Rosenwald, if convicted,
must pay the state a heavy fine.
Agitation of the tax question has
brought to light the fact that bank
depositors, numbering nearly a mil-
lion persons, are subject to taxes on
their deposits which they are no*
naying. It would take a grand jury
800 years, working at the average
rate of speed, to bring indictments
against all of them.
Even the state's attorney and some
members of the grand jury, it is de-
clared, have not complied strictly
with the law.
Hoyne says that the law ought to
be enforced or repealed. "It has
fallen into disuse," he says, "through
lack of enforcement. I hope that my
course will lead to such a study of
their defects as ^rill lead to their
amendment, where necessary."
Rosenwald's contention is that he
should pay no taxes upon the stocks
and bonds of the Sears & Roebuck
Company, which he owns, because
the plant of the company has already
been taxed as tangible property and
that the taxing of mere evidences of
ownership is like taxing the same
property twice.
Trie Chicago Singl Tax club, which
was one of the first organizations
coming to Rosenwald's defence, goes
even further in its definition of doa-
ble %«*Ation. John Z. White of this
clah, tho debated trie merits of the
cast w*lh lloyne'8 assistant, Hayden
N. NfeAi, *ook the ground that all tax-
ation. save the taxation of sites, is
double taxation.
"All tfiw benefits of public improve-
ments, fire and police service and
the like," he said, "are represented
in the value of city sites. Tax that
value and the tax fits the service
rendered. Taxing buildings and
plants means paying twice for gov-
ernmental service; once when the tax
is paid and also when the price la
paid for a place to put the building.''
