CLEANING THE SCREENS

If yon failed to oil yoar screens last fall, when storing them for the winter, and yoa find them rusty, clean them with an old pie of velvet moistened with kerosene. When dry paint with black screen varnish thinDed with turpentine to rnaki; rare that the mesh will not be clogged. Do not brush the screens with a stiff whist broom. This migfrt canse a bulging of the net. Use a soft bristle brash. TO CLEAN WTNTXJW SHADES Open the shade on the floor and rub it with a rough flannel dipped in dry starch. Faded shades may be renorated by reversing the shade. Tack the bottom edge (opened) to the roller and make new bem on the so formed new bottom. BITING THE FINGER NAILS is nothing btrt a bad habit and shonld be dealt with as you would deal with any other bad abt that a child contracts. The child ehonld be taught how to manicure his nails or taken to a manicurist tvjice a week urrrtil he begins to take a pride in their appearance. This will remove the temptation to bite them. HICCOUGHS may be cured by placing a small grain of alum as far back on the sufferer's tongue as possible. Another method is to have the patient lie flat on his lack and raise his legs and bend them until they press hard upon his diaphragm.

IVT POISONING Spread spirits of niter on affected parts. FOR EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION . under the arms, frponpe with a solution of half an onee of atom. THE COLD BATH is Largely a superstition spread by purrtanical souls who think that anything that is unpleasant most be good for you. Take a cold bath if yoa honestly enjoy it, bat not otherwise. FRECKLES if they come erJy in the srzmnMar rtay be bleached out by appryine; a drop of peroxide to them night and morning. Be very careful to touch ocly the freckle and not say of the saf Tvonding skin. This preparation nay be helpful bat there is no safe remedy wfcieh is a "sure core" for freckles; 20 drams mmtariattad mercury 1 dram bismuth fcubuittate 1 ounce ointment of nwwwslei ApTply to' freckles without teaching interviwyng skin at night, using it sparingly and wash it on in the morning. Discon-tHroe if the ddn become irritated. FOR AN AFTERNOON TEA Cut large juicy oranges in half, be tween the stem and seed eed, ana divide and loosen the pulp as for grapefruit. Dip each of the flesh tn mayonnaise and return to its plae. A little of the sauce on top and some ground nut meats sifted over. Serve with thin sandwiches of home-made whits bread, sp.-ead with salted butter, hot chocolate or tea.

OUR BIG FREIGHT

By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice-President Guaranty Trust Co. ef New York. What should be done with the railroads? That Is one of the most vital questions of the day. Shall they revert to thir ownori' management under tha same complicated system of diverse governmenti! supervision that obtained before the FriHed States took over the properties? Or shall the present condition of private ownership and federal management be continued for a terra of years, perhaps permanently? Or shell the Government take the ro-ds over nltogether, owning as well as managing them? Or ehall tbey be turned back to prtvate management at the earliest possible momeiit compatible rlth the welfare of railroads and public alike, but under a ti6w system of centralized governmental supervision and control better calculated to enable ttem to keep pace with the rapld!v growing demands of business? Under the law passed August 29. 1916, the President on December 23, 1917, assumed control of all transportation within the boundaries of tha country, this control becoming effectiv on December 2S, 1017, except for purposes of scconntlng, the control of which began December Rl, 1817. The carrying or.t of this operation aDd control was delegated to William O.

The total tractive po-u-er increased C2.r per cent and the capacity Cf f-t.jpht cars .aD.7 per cent. Ihe Increase In m lene in the meantime was only 14 per cent. The new investments in railroads in li14 aggregated ?r12.tK),0tK; in 1915 it was J'.'G'i.OOt'.f.w.Mj, atcl in VJ16, only $2..8.CXH),iOJ. This falling off In railroad investments is one of the roost serious features of the prohlrm. It in certain that if we are poing to have private ownership and operation of transportation in the future, we must, as a first Step, restore railroad credit. The folly of the Government's past attitude toward the railroads has been strikingly exemplified (a the policy of

NuturalJy, the result was an undermining of railway credit and s robbing of the companies of their only source cf funds for increasing their services. The Increase In the country's population between 1903 and 1910 was a rttle less than 20 per cent. A corresponding Increase in commercial and industrial capacity will require a proportionate increase of ton mileage per c.ipita. To do this we must attract private capital to tte rai-oad field. This we have not been d!.og. Since XSSX) the rate of return on rajroad investments ha3 ranged from per cent to t).S3 per cent. In 1917 i was only 5.72 per cent. At the sam ime the returns on investments in mik?ufacrures uveraged as high as 17.12 p,jr cent in 1900, not considering the utus'jal returns yielded by war industries during the last t-o years. Cnless the government's future poli

cy toward railroads Is such as to Insure fair regulations and Just returns, which will be absolutely essential If new capital in sallicient quantity Is to be attracted, the development of our great resources In the west, northwest and southwest will be arrested and the retarding of such development will be a national economic disaster. One vital fact is apparent today above all others the scepter In the railroad world has passed out of the hands of the railroads' executives and the tankers who financed them. The American people control the situation through their political representatives, and they will determine the whole course of the future. No class of people will exercise so powerful an Influence in reaching this decision as the shippers. They must learn, if they have not learned already, that the thing of roost vital Importance to thera is getting their goods to market. The rates at which this service Is rendered are Incidental. The long struggle of the shippers to hold

down rates In defiance of the economic

trend of ths times and ths obvious as cessitles of the railroad slrnsOoa has worked ths undoing of Um shippers, as well as of the railroads. It Is obvious that ws should adopt a deBidte, ccrnprekenslve and adequate policy for developing our railroad extensions, a policy based on definite, determining factors. It seems very certain thst from the present plan of corordinated, centralized operation, with Its many savings snd added efficiencies made possible by Government control, there will be no reversion to the old system of competitive privste ewcer ship and conflicting regulation. If not that, then what do ws face? On every hand we hear the prophecy made that the present control of ths rsJlroeds by the Government Is but the first step toward Government ownershlp, and that once unified sneer Government direction the railroads will never be "unscrambled." Bnt tn no country In the world where Government ownership of railroads has been attempted has It been successful, with the single exception of Prussia, where, under the arbitrary mandates of a military autocracy, some degree of efficiency and profit has been secured. Further, In no Important instsnce has the experience of our own Government to business operation or ownership of any form of puN lie utilities been such as to warrant the conclusion that such activity corJd be profitably extended. The prlvateiy owned railroads of ths United States have the lowest freight rates, the lowest capitalisation per mile, the greatest operating efficiency and pay the highest wages of any railroads In the world. If private ownership has failed, both when unregulated and when over-regulated, and Government ownership gives no promise of success, what plan offers for meeting the situation? various suggestions of a central Federal corporation, regional holding companies, Government guarantees and plans calling for profit shsrlng with the Government above s fixed return have been frejuently made. Somewhere along this tine of thought lies a rational nolntion. It Is very certain that the old days of enforced competition, anti-trust laws, anti-pooling laws, conflicting Slats regulation, wasteful competition, duplication of

service, would not be permitted by a public alive to Its own Interests.

It seems equally certain that Gov

ernment ownership would nof be permitted If ths peblic were equally ellvs to Its real Interests. The hour has ar

rived for the suggestion of some plan which must be made ready for adop

tion as soon as possible, now that the

crisis of war has passed. Somewhsrs within the meaning of the words "co

operation" and "partnership" lies ths answer. The public interest In trans

portation Is paramount and must be protected, but public Interest and private interest need not be In conflict if

Intelligently regarded.

Regional companies representing

both private and public capital under

private operation with governmental

participation In the management and earnings above a just guarantee would seem to assure the necessary extension

of railroad facilities. In unity of In

terest and understanding progress towards the desired goal should be possible
