The pro- ions and charges contained in the rifts are identical in all instances, jicating concerted action on the of the roads. The charges are be and a half cents a ton, with a Inimum charge of $2 a car. In stern classification territory, it 1s imated that there are nearly 27,- 0 spur tracks or sidings, on which now are ‘spotted” by the rail- jads without charge. The exaction $2 a car for the service, it is be- bved, would increase the revenues of e road at least $10,000,000 a year. A charge for car “spotting” is one the ways proposed to increase the turns to the railroads without mak- g a straight adyance in rates. The tariffs filed with the .commis- on contain these descriptive state- ents: “‘Spotting service is the service be- bnd a reasonably convenient point terchange between road haul, or bnnecting carrier and industrial nt tracks, and. includes: “(A)—One placement of a loaded r, which the road hauls, or connect- g carrier has transported. “(B)—The taking out of a loaded it from a particular location in the t for transportation by the road 1, or connecting carrier. *(C)=-The handling of empty cars the reverse direction.” An effort will be made by shippers p have the tariffs, which are filed to effective on thirty days’ notice, spended.

Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. : There is nothing more charming than | & happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. | In many homes once childless there are now children be- cause of the fact | that Lydia E.

Lip- pitt and Fred P. Holt of the defunct ‘Windsor Locks Savings bank against directors of that institution went on trial in the superior court today. It is expected that the trial may last rerhaps a month. The suits are based on the alleged responsibility of the directors for the well-being of the bank during the time which they held office when the lfte A, W. Converse was treasurer. Mr, Converse is al- leged to have misappropriated funds «f the bank amounting to a large sum. | Many witnesses have been sumi- | moned on both sides, and the opening hours of the trial were largely taken up by preliminary mattters. As the ection is against the directors of the bank and there were several changes in the personnel of the directorate during the period of the embezzle- ments, it was necessary to bring four separate suits, as follows: First suit for $20,000, covering the period July 20, 1871, to July 8, 1880, against James T. Coogan and J. R. Montgomery of Windsor Locks, and J. W. Johnson of Enfield, amount ciaimed to have been embezzled dur- ing this period $5,850. Second suit, for $180,000, covering the period from July 18, 1880, to July 13, 1893, against J. T. Coogan, J. W. Johnson, J. R. Montgomery, George P. Clark, William Mather and Allen Pease, amount of alleged embezzle- ment during this period $54,344.73, Third suit for $140,000, covering the reriod from July 13, 1893, to July 11, 1907, against J. T.
