iue x-uojiq service commission 01

Indiana lias ret apart next week beginning Monday, January 14 and ending January 21, as "Indiana Freight MoTing Week." - The Director General of Railroads) in a letter to the Commission calling attention to conditions prevailing throughout the country, says: "Unless freight is promptly moved by consignees from cars at terminals and . from railroad stations, it will be impossible, to relieve the present situation "Railroad cars cannot be used for warehouse purposes without grave injury to the American people "Railroad cars must be kept moving They must be utilized to their maximum capacity if the demands of the people for the necessaries of life and of the Army and Navy for essential munitions are to be met." An order adopted by the Public Service Commission of Indiana on January 9, put Into effect in Indiana, the higher demurrage charges, suggested by the Director General of Railroads. Previously, the Public Service Commission of Indiana had adopted high demurrage charges to stop the practice of warehousing in cars. "Unload at Once" The purpose of these very high charges is to put a severe penalty upon wholly unwarranted and unnecessary delays in unloading freight, In Indiana a very satisfactory measure, of co-operation between the consignees of freight and the railroads has been effected already. It is, however, desired particularly, during the period set apart aa "Indiana Freight Moving Week," to reach the maximum

efficiency In unloading freight cars, removing freight from railroad stations, and In all other respects clearing the docks for the more efficient operation of the railroads of the country. The next eight or ten weeks will be

the most critical in transportation that this country has faced and "Indiana Freight Moving Week" is a war measure to meet this transportation crisis Other states will co-operate to this name end. The Public Service Commission of Indiana urges that the commercial organizations call into conference Immediately firms that receive large quantities of freight and urge on them the unloading of cars and the cleaning up of Bhippiog facilities. The appointment of a special "Indiana Freight Moving Week" committee is desirable.

The newspapers are called upon to! lend their great efforts in emphasing,'

the importance of a state-wide cleanup. CHURCHES PLAN TO SAVE FUEL

A part f the building be used, if possible, not more than one room. Each conspiration will appoint an emergency cr.mmittee to cooperate with the fuel administrator. Recommendation that such combination of tiie churches for services be made as wll most effectively alleviate the coal situation. Where possib'e, different organizations should use the same building by having union services or services at different hours- by different congregations. .

HARDENED AS THEY BECOME, SOLDIERS STOP TO PERFORM MANY AN ACT OF MERCY

LONDO.V, Jan. 16. The humanitarian strain in us which responds to the call "mercy" is not wiped out by the fnvironment of battle nor entirely

covered by the trappings of war. Even inaiana, TI., - i a

In the upper photograph we have the remarkable sight of German soldiers doing an act of mercy. It is a scene from a battlefield never perhaps pictured before. German soldiers, just captured iin one of the British advances on the western front are working alongside of Tommies hauling wounded men out of a wrecked dugout to spare them the fate of being burned alive.

Above German prisoners (arrowed) helping English haul wounded out of dugouts. Below Tommies removing old woman from her home in the rar.ge of fire.

At the handle of the windlass a German may be seen reeling the line which pulls a wounded Highlander out of thi earth to the waiting Red Cross ambulance men. Brother Germans are in the dugout, too, waiting for their turn to be dragged forth to the light and to the ministrations of the doctors who established an impromptu dressing station at the mouth of the dugout. In the lov- er photo is shown a scene on the outskirts of the village of Masnieres just after it came within shell r-nge.- British Tommies are helping out of her dwelling an old, blind woman who could not escape without aid. The Germans before leaving th? village had ransacked the dwellings and in the dooryard is the evidence o? their pillage household linen ani furniture strewn about in piles. The British in all their advances send details cut to help the feebla and the children I? towns under lire

SHELBY VI LLE, Ind., Jan. 16. Mise Mary Powell, of this city, has received a letter from a friend, Miss Doris Jolley, who is now a resident of France. The young woman, who is a native of Etaljes, France, attended school .at tndtanapolis (the Indianapolis Teachers' college) with Miss Pow ell. Her letter in part follows: "My life is spent in a whirl of excitement from morning until night. You simply cannot imagine what it is like. Last week one regiment left here at 9. o'clock in the morning, and our maid was ill with pleurisy. The boy who looks after the cattle had the mumps. We had the house to clean up from top to bottom for another reg iment, and only two hours' notice tc do it in. I can tell you we did it some. However, this new lot is very nice You would think we were in camp here There are fourteen officers in the house ar-d twenty-eight soldiers. There are 200 in the yard and fifty in the studio; horses and mules and guns everywhere; wireless apparatus in the back yard, signaling going on all day in the front pasture and a continual 'va et drens' in the front of the house. "You must not think that with all the trouble and sadness about us, that we mope all day. Not at all! We dc all we can to give our men the har riest of times and 'by jingo' they ae happy and brave. I am enclosing a badge which was given me by a Torn my we had billeted here. He picked it ud at Ypres from one of his own

regiment, the 11th Hussars. The badge

time while we can,' and no one can blame them for that. The orly thing is to be cheerful and to cheer the boys on. I have been through many bitter scenes but I try not to remember them as one is so apt to lose one's nerve."

Navy Recruiter to Close His Office in Evenings

The navy recruiting office will be closed evenings after six o'clock and

can band came over from one of the villages nearby. I have seen lots of Red Cross Ssmmies, but the -fighting lot. is more to the south of France where the men are being trained. I went to Vichy recently and I heard they expected more Americans around there. "To go back to that dance we had here. There were seven American girls there from one of the hospitals. I suppose vou will think us very frivolous, but believe me we took it as seriously as you are doing now in the bpginning, but three years of war changes not only oneself but the soldiers.

OLD-TIME COLO CURE DRINK TEAI I

-'" , Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore harmless. (Adv.)

NEW YORK CITY. Jan. 16. Fred

erick D. Underwood, president-of the

Erie railroad, is one of the most en

thusiastic of the railroad executives

who believe that success . is assured the American roads by government

control. "It is the greatest monopoly in the

history of the world and automatically closes the eventful episode of the last

twenty years in the career of American railroads," said Underwood. "We have entered a new era more profound

than the majority yet realize, and it

has all been done so swiftly, in the midst of great events, with hardly any

discussion, that the country may wake

up tomorrow and find Itself a totally different United States from the one we occupied, yesterday." Underwood knows what will affect a railway system and how. Since leaving the farm in Wisconsin he has climbed the railroad steps one at a time from a beginning as a brakeman. And he doesn't forget a rung of the ladder or a thing he saw from his stand on any rung. "We are all still a bit dazed, I think," he said; "this new dfspensation is bo hard to realize. The rail-

Don't you realize that now we are going to dp under government mandate many of the very things that the govenjnent has previously been prosecuting some of us for attempting to do? For twenty years we have been laboring along with the best of each other in the drive for new business and to avoid the governmental restrictions on com bination of interests.

Silver for Service,

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications ,wJUl completely dissolve and entirely destroy every singic sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, - glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Adv.
