SWITCHING RATE ORDER
Corporation Commission Fixes Maxi-
mum Charge In State
Oklahoma City—Proposed switching
rates under No. 440, issued by the cor-
poration commission Tuesday and
effective March 23, 1911:
l\4t miles and less $2.00
2>/fe miles and over 1V6  2.3.r)
3^ miles and ove£ 2l/fe  2.70
Over 3% miles  3.00
After six months of gathering and
hearing evidence both from the rail-
roads and the industries vitally
effected by the rate problem, the cor-
poration commission issued proposed
order No. 440, fixing the maximum
rates to be charged for switching.
The order will force a reduction of
rates in many localities, and in others
will not affect a change. In Oklahoma
City, where switching is done at the
packing plants, a charge of $2 a car
is made.
This opinion of the commission is
taken by livestock men throughout
the state to mean that before March
23, 1911, the discrimination which has
been shown against Oklahoma City
will be ended and that all switching
charges on livestock will be absorbed
by the railroads.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
"I think the Cutlcura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on Its head when It
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In a few days the head
was a solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Reme-
dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cutl-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cutlcura
Ointment, and a bar of Cutlcura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cutlcura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he bad a beautiful head of hair.
I think the Cutlcura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair."

THE YOUNQ BRIDE'S
FIRST DI8COVERY
Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to nettle
down to what thfey hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But. alas! the young bride's troubles
■<¥>n negin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the ab-
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yel-

They are not always of uniform strength

Now the bride buys Calumet—the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.
Eve or Eva?
The first uhow that HUJe Willie
ever attended was "Uncle Tom's
Cabin." When he returned home after
the play papa asked him how he liked
the show. Willie said it was awful
nice.
"Now, Willie, if you will be a good
boy, I will take you to one next week,"
said papa.
Little Willie and papa sat down In
the orchestra circle. Willie seemed
to enjoy the play very much. When
they returned home Willie's mamma
asked him how he liked the show?
Willie replied: "It was a lot nicer than
the first one I went to. What do you
think, mamma? All the little Evas
had on union suite."—Judge.
Work and Marriage.
In the New York courts recently a
girl, aged 17, on being told by her
mother that she was old enough to
go to work, replied: "Work, I will
not; I prefer to marry." Whereupon
she was married before night to a
young man earning $8 per week.
That is of a piece with the reasoning
of another girl who, being interro-
gated by a friend, "Where are you
working now, Mamie?" answered
promptly, "I ain't working; I'm mar-
ried."—Boston herald.
A Significant Selection.
'That was a mighty inconsiderate

Fighting Tuberculosis In Hungary.
The anti-tuberculosis movement
was started in 1894, and In 1898 there
were five institutions for the treat-

agencies are engaged in the fight A
permanent tuberculosis musuem has

Were we perfect, which w* are not, medicines would
not often be needed. But since our systems have be-

indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages,
through countless generations, remedies are needed to
aid Nature in correcting our inherited and otherwise
acquired weaknesses. To reach the seat oi stomach
