DISTANCE TARIFF PASSED BY SENATE| (Continued from first page). showe‘d that St. Paul and Minneapo- lis enjoyed a lower proportionate rate for the “distance than intermediate points. Senator Cashman charged that the railroads wanted to build up large distributing centers, in order to separate the consumers from the pro- ducees, “&ible haul. He touched on the recent full page advertisements which appeared in most of the newspapers of the state, paid for by the jobbers, which op- posed the bill. He said that the rail- roads were primarily responsible for inspiring the, advertisements, since they “laid down” on the jobbers and manufacturers and made them do it; under penalty of repealing the-spec- ial favorable rates they were enjoying and refusing to put in sidings to their warehouses or taking them up on thirty days’ notice. He also read several leters from firms whose signatures appeared on the paid advertisements as being op- posed to the bill, and these purported to show that they opposed it at the solicitation of their traffic manager. “It takes a rate expert to find what a rate is at present,” said Senator Cashman. “If this bill goes through matters will be simplified to such an extent that traffic managers will be largely done away with. That is why they are fighting the measure.” SCHOOL DISTRICT SUING BONDSMEN (Continued from first page). ters of general interest to them in the High school gymnasium. “Teachers who wish to attend the institute tomorrow are requested to meet at the Central building at 9 a. m.”’—Professor Stewart.

Women are living longer than they did twen\;y«fivs years ago, but the doctors aren’t agreed on the reason. Though all admit. it isn’t due to the spread of the suffrage movement, they are widely divided in their opinions about it. Statistics compiled in Eng- land show that the expectation of life of a woman of fifty is a year greater; than -it ‘was in 1875, while that of a man {8 only a few ‘months greater. Ore school of doctors, who believe that death.is due entirely to a wearing cat of brain tissues, says the greater longevity of women is due to the fact that they don’t use their brains as much as men. On the other side of the sclentific fence is a -group of dos tors . who ‘insist -that woman lives longer now ‘because she is more skel. tered than man; doesn’t have to face the wearing competition of business that he has to endure and that she spends most of her time at home, which is more airy and healthful than the offices where men work.
