A desperate battle ensued bu the woman escaped and called the police. Thornton battled madly with the officers. Mrs. Dudley declared to the police that Thornton had hypnotized her and that she could not resist his love. The couple deserted their families and fled to San Francisco, where they lived for a year and a bnlf as man and wife, she declared. Then entered a new complexity In the person of Kenneth Moody a 22 year old automobile salesman, who learned of the illicit love of the woman and the other man and attempted to win her away and back to the straight path.

Cure a Cold in One Day To Take If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net income in a year (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreasonable profit and proof that its prices were too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 cent. ,j)erThe Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued as repeatedly but erroneously, claimed the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5 4 per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transportation Act, has found they are entitled. If the roads cannot earn 5 4 per cent in a big year, what will they do in a small year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in lf any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay of the excess to the Government. The Act is, 3-- 3-- laxative sir. -r Tom Quinine tablets gf Tablets begin immediately to counteract tbe activity of Cold, Grip and Influenza Germs and bring to a sadden atop the dangerous work of these dreaded disease germs In the human body.

Give Transportation Act Fair Trial The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and its merits Judged by the results of a normal period of reasonable length. The year 1923 was the first since the war under conditions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law The railroads have emerged from the but mote confidence. welter of the war, restored their morale, made enormous Investments of new money, and In 1923 handled a peak business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts were almost solely In framing the Act the public interest was pararepressive. mount The Act directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the Inited States with adequate transportation." Give tbe Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should niuke as good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C.
