ISSION IS
AWAITING COURT
Anxious for Ruling on Controversy Emanating From Interchange Proposition.
QUESTION OF AUTHORITY.
IF SHIPPERS CAN GET NO RELIEF LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED TO GIVE COMMISSION AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE ORDERS. (By Special Correspondent.) Indianapolis, Sept. 2. The Indiana railroad commission is awiaiting the reconvening of the supreme court, when It Is expected that the Richmond controversy over the Interchange of freight between the Pennsylvania and the C., C. & L. will be one of the first cases to be acted on. The chief feature In the affair is the question of authority on the part of the commission. In several recent controversies with the railroads the commission's orders hav been ignored and the. supreme court decision in the Richmond case is expected to fix definitely the commission's powers under the law. If It shall be decided that the Richmond shippers cannot get relief, then the legislature will be asked to clothe the commission with such authority as will compel the railroads to resect Its orders. There is a similar case pending, brought against the Big Four by southern Indiana shippers, and the decision will have an important bearing.

A Scarcity of Washwomen. One reason for the scarcity of wash
women and the principal one. is ill-; ness consumption. The unhealthy, ! impure nauseating odors which arise i from the use of some laundry soap ' cause more sickness than a dozen oth- i er reasons. T'jere is only one white . laundry soap Easy Task. Made of cocoanut oil and Borax, the fumes : from which are pleasant, yet it will j wash anything and without boiling.!
Try a five cnt cake and results will surprise you.
Look For Soap Quality. It's no bargain to buy a big chunk of yellow soap for a few cents, if the bulk and weight are made with rosin and grease; that simply smears things but does not clean them. There Is a good pure sort called Easy Task soap which only costs five cents a cake and is the greatest cleanser known. Consult your grocer.
