'CREDIT ON FREIGHT ONLY 4 DAYS, SAYS NEW COMMERCE RULE The Interstate Commerce act, as amended by Section 405 of the Transportation act, governing the prompt payment of transportation rates and charges prescribed to be collected from shippers of freight, has been authorized to be made effectlYe on July 1, 1920. According to the ruling-no common carrier will be permitted to extend credit promiscuously and in no cases will the deferred payment of any freight bill be permitted longer than four days. The change In this law will compel factories and large Industries now having unlimited credit to revise their method of payment to the railroads in order to meet the require, ments. In the past all freight haa been delivered to an employe of the concern and payment made upon demand by the transportation company, at such time as they felt justified in collecting the amount. Can't Deliver Without Payment. After July 1, no carrier by railroad subject to the provisions of this act, will be able to deliver or relinquish possession at destination of any freight transported by it, until' after all tariff rates and charges thereon have been paid, except that the carrier will not be compelled to demand immediate payment for the government of the United States, or for any state or territory, or District of Colvmbia. The rules which will concern every patron of the freight lines were approved at a general session of the intorntatA Commerce Commission,

held In Washington, on June 4, are as follows: "Where retention of possession of any freight by the carriers until the tariff rates and charges thereon have been paid, will retard prompt delivery, or will retard prompt release of equipment or station facilities, the carrier, by taking precautions deemed by It to be sufficient to Insure payment of the tariff charges within the period of credit herein specified, may relinquish possession of the freight in advance of payment of the tariff charges thereon and may extend credit in the amount of such charges to those who undertake to pay such charges, such persons being herein called shippers, for a period of 96 hours, to be computed as follows: "Where the freight bill Is presented to the shipper prior to. or at the timo of delivery of the freight, the 96 hours of credit shall run from the first 4 p.m., following the delivery of the freight. Differentiates on Freight. "Where the freight bill is presented to the shipper subsequent to the time that the freight is delivered, the 96 hours of credit shall run from the first 4 p. m., following the presentation of the freight bill. Every such carrier shall present freight bills to shippers not later than the first 4 p. m., following delivery of freight, except that when information sufficient to enable the carrier to compute the tariff charges is not then available to the carrier at the delivery point, the freight bills shall be presented not later than the first 1 p. m. following the d-y upon which sufficient information becomes available

tn tho delivering aeent of the carrier.

Shippers may elect to have their

freight bills presented by means ot the United States mails, and when the mail service is so used, the time of mailing by the carrier shall be deemed the time of presentation of the Vviiis Tn case of dismite as to the

time of mailing, the postmark shall be accepted as showing such time. Sundays Are Excluded Sundays and legaf holidays, other than Saturday half-holidays, may be excluded from the computation of the period of credit. The mailing by the shipper of valid cheeks, drafts or money orders which are satisfactory to the carrier in payment of the tariff charge"?, within the period of credit prescribed above, may bo deemed to be payment of the tariff charges with

in the period of ninety-six hours of! credit." The majority of shippers or consignees la the past have paid their . freight when they received their goods' and that practice . will be Insisted upon after this ruling goes into effect. In many cases the custom has been to deliver freight to one person and the bill presented to and collected from some other person at some other time. This has been the mode of procedure of industries having a pickup and delivery system and the new act to go into effect the first of next month will abolish this arrangement to a great extent and compel not only local industries following this method, but all others In the United States, to make prompt payment of all freight bills shortly after receipt of their shipments. ' The object of the new order is to protect the common carrier where protection Is necessary and at the same time treat all patrons In a business way. The Intent of the order Is to prevent the granting of an unreasonable amount of credit and at the same time place the individual transactions on a cash basis.

Homely and Aged Faces Now Easily Beautified

The plainest faces made beautiful

and the complexions of good-looking

women improved oldish faces made young and pretty, blemished and weather-soiled faces made spotless, white and satiny in less than two weeks, by a very simpjle and harmless process that acts almost like a miracle! This is all there is to it: Ordinary mercolized wax, procurable at any drug store (one ounce will do), is applied nightly like cold cream, and washed off mornings. This gradually

peels oft the lifeless particles of surface skin, permitting the underlying

skin to show itself. The newer, fresh

er skin, when wholly In evidence, forms a complexion which for beauty and youthfulness is incomparable with

one produced by other means. A complexion so natural, so free from artificiality, no one guesses the secret of its acquirement. You'll not regret trying this really marvelous treatment.
