Advice of Mother no Doubt Pu-|
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—*l was not able to dol
anything for nearly six menths,”” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, ‘“‘and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot te!l you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
aut he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven botiles, and now 1 am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing. 1
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. ” ‘
If Y.ou suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar fo women, get a bottle of Cardui
foday. Deiay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years. |

The same business laws apply to Railroads as to all other concerns and
with State and Federal jurisdiction over them, their every operation is open
to the' public. .
It is no secret how their costs have and are increasing, while the prices
to be charged for their manufactured product transportation remains -
fixed by law. :
General business organizations meet increased expenses from year to
year and day to day by increasing prices and by economies not ‘permitted
to Railroads. . :
The Railroads of Georgia are hauling freight today at rates less than
those fixed in 1880.
In what way are the Railroads different from other business enterprises -
that they can live without increasing their prices 'when expenses are con
tinually increasing? ;
To the average individual, the Railroad is an engine and passenger,
coaches, or freight cars. <ay
Below is the precentage of increased costs of these items ‘which thé
Railroads have had to bear between 1907 and 1916: o
LO-COMOTIVES PR eb e 500 Bre s e 010 00000 s 0 e 4570 W.

Average percentage increase in cost of all
. equi})mel‘lt ..-0.--'-0000..-....-62% "“',l‘!
In previous statements the average per cent of increase in price of twenty- 5
five necessary articles in daily use by the Railroads of Georgia, from anglo 3 ais
bars to waste cotton, has been ShoWn t 0 Be .. v oo vt vu ne oe oo o 5 17.73%. 4
The percentage of increase in wages paid for labor has been oo ot e sugee FDE % :
The percentage ®f increase in taxes paid by the Railroads of Georgia in 5 o
Georgia alene (for 1915 over 1901) has DEENI vv vv vu ve oo vu oo oe e 1786 V)
: : - §
AND YET, THE FREIGHT RATES TODAY ARE 0
LOWER THAN THEY WERE IN 1880.
Nothwithstanding such increased costs public improvements must gdon
on. Of the sixty-four railroads operating in Georgia, nine, namely, the P
Atlanta & West Point Georgia Railroad
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Georgia Southern & Florida v
Atlantic Coast Line Seaboard Air Line
Central of Georgia Southern, and Western & Atlantic,
for the eight years ending June 30, 1915, spent for per- ’
manent improvements in the State of Georgia, not in- LB
cluding any expenses of operation or maintenance, or /
rolling. stock-whatever, the sum of . v o auine $22.304.773.00 ,7_/-

For none of these items is there any increased revenue received by th
