THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. JFLT 15. 1912.
LOWER EXPRESS
RITES ORDERED
Commerce Commission Thinks
Result Will Be Lower Cost
of Living.
An approximate rebate of 15 per cent
in express rates for all companies
shipping in ami out of Atlanta and ail
companies of the I'nited States has
been ordered by the interstate com
merce commission. A report prescrib
ing this was made public today in
Washington Rate...- on light packages
will show a greater reduction.
Drastic reforms in regulation and
operation are also required. October 9
was set by the commission as a date
when flic companies might attempt to
show why- these changes should not b A
put into effect
State Rates To Go Down.
chairman •' Murphey Candler, of the
Georgia railroad commission, says that
if the interstate commission adopts the
new rates at its October mooting and
enforces them, the Georgia board will
probably adopt the same schedules
governing intrastate business. The
commission has been considering for
some time the rates of the Southern
Kxpress Company anil has been wait
ing on the action of the interstate
tribunal. The records show that about
SO per cent of express business in Geor
gia, is interstate ami out of the control
of tin state board, but the remaining
twenty per cent can be reached by the
adoption of the interstate schedule by
the state commission.
Briefly stated the new rates may be
said to he based on a minimum charge
of 21 cents for a one-pound package.
This charge increases in ratio to the
increase of weight and distance. The
effect on Atlanta Is shown as follows:
At present it costs 65 cents for a five
pound package between Washington
and Atlanta. Under the new rates the
charge would be 32 cents. To Port
land. Oregon, from Atlanta, a five
pound package would cost 85 cents; a
ten-pound package $1.65; a 25-pound
package $3.75; a 100-pound package
$14.25. Under the proposed rates the
charges would be respectively 70 cents,
$1.21. $2.72 and $10.30. The rates to
other points will show a proportionate
decrease under the new schedule.
Simple Rate Schedules.
The most radical change required in
the matter of operation Is the change
In the method of determining rates and
in the rate card. There, are 35.000 ex
press stations In the United States To
name rates from each one of those to
all others requires the statement of
more than 600,000.000 different rates.
These schedules now occupy several
volumes and expert authority Is need
ed to work out any single rate. Under
the new arrangement the rates from
any point to any other will be placed on
a. single card In a manner easily un
derstood by all.
In order- that this may be possible,
the United States will be divided into
blocks, each approximately 50 miles
square. Rates are proposed between
blacks, treating all cities and towns
within each block as common points.
Commissioner Lane states that ft is
his opinion that the conclusions reach
ed by- the commission will go a long
way towards reducing the high cost of
living. He believes that the cheap rates
on light packages will encourage com
merce between the food producer and
the consumer direct without the inter
posit ion-of a commission man.

•le Ki' k." a playlet in which he is as- ,
fifed ny Al Lamar and Vida Perrin, and
’hat is declared tn be oven greater in
success than his ••reitjop of ’’Buster

with heart interest and comedy, and will I
bo one "f the most Impressive vaudeville
rresentations of the lime. Gabriel plays
a little hoy who has been sent with a I
note to deliver to a man <«f wealth, and i
after discharging the trust, he has a lit- |
tie fun on his own account that is most
interesting Another feature act will be j
Tempest and Sunshine, the prettiest act I
in vaudeville. It is the creation of two I
pretty girls, who sing the daintiest songs i
in a dainty fashion, and that has been I'
one of the greatest drawing cards that
vaudeville has ever known.

a series of vocal selections that will be
a real treat to the music lovers, and
interest those who are not yet infected
with the desire for that sort of music

its sort; .lolly and Wild, in an original

Tha Bijou.
A novelty feature quite out of the orrii
nary Is announced for this week as the
special booking at the Bijou. It will be
Gordon Brothers, and tjieir famous box
ing kangaroo. Boh As a novelty act, this
is saiil to overshadow anything of the
kind thai has been offered In Atlanta of
late. The Gordon Brothers are splendid
bag punchers and their work with a va
riety of apparatus makes the bag punch
ing unusually interesting. As the finale of
their act; a prize ring Is shown, in which
Bob, a kangaroo, dons the gloves and
boxes three rounds with one of the Gor
dons. This is said to be one of the most
laughable and amusing stunts that has ,
been pulled off in vaudeville in recent .
years The kangaroo seems to enjoy
his work and delivers his punches with
rare precision. Judging from the hit this
act has made in other cities, patrons of <
the Bijou have a treat in store As a
second added feature, the management
announces the appearance of the Bell Boy
trio, a singing act of unusual excellence
that may well he classed among the best
singing acts that has appeared in Atla.nta
this season. There will' also be Kamp
lain and Bell. In a singing and talking i
act. and George Dixon, musical clown.
Each of the four acts possesses merit and
novelty and a splendid bill is promised
The motion picture part of the Bijou en
tertainment is receiving a big boost these
days and a splendid line of motion pic
tures is being shown, with a change of
program daily. This has been brought
about by an arrangement with one of
the best film companies in the. country,
and the Bijou will hereafter make this
department of its entertainment quite as
interesting as its vaudeville. There will
be only one matinee every afternoon, al
3 o'clock, except on Saturday, when there
will be two, at 2:30 and 4 Night shows a!
7:30 and 9 o'clock.

I A Question for You Pain Laden,Nerve Racked, Pale, Bloodless,Care=Worn Women 8
Thousands of women have been suffering for years with constipation, piles and other rectal diseases, leuchorrheal discharges and the vari-
ous forms of uterine and ovarian complaints which affect women only. Can you afford to go on from day to day laboring under the idea that you H
were born only to suffer? Just because Grandma So-and-So or some good oldaunt tells you your pains and aches are but natural for one of your K
sex and that they suffered for years from simdar troubles, that in time you will be better, etc., etc.—because you have used patent medicines galore S
and tried many different doctors who make no specialty of treating the diseases to which you are subject—are anv of thes- things excuses whv you B
should suffer ’ We care not what you have been told in regard to your suffering—what you have taken or how many doctors have failed to cure B
you, we say that it is not natural nor intended that women should suffer from these complaints, as thousands of them do Eight of every ten sick B
women can be cured if they be given the proper attention and conservative treatment. Within the last few years much improvement has been ER
made in the treatment of these diseases. Quite true, the average doctor gives you treatment—the kind given twenty years agoand then after R
failure to cure refers you to a surgeon for a knife operation. But you must bear in mind that the average doctor is not a specialist in these dis- R
eases and does not care to devote anv more time to your case than he is compelled to. Can you afford to be sick and neglect your family as any R
sick woman is necessarily bound to do? Do you not consider it a duty to yourself and family to be well? Have you ever stopped to consider how M
many homes are broken up as the result of a sick wife arxi mother? If you are sick now is the time to qet relief Not tnmnrrnw nr uu.-k nr &&
next month. BUT NOW. Many think day after day that they must seek relief, but still they put it off, at the same time being fully aware of the Syj
fact that each day is one miserably spent. Another thing to be well thought over is the placing of your case in the hands of one who is com Eg
petent to treat such diseases—one who sees many of such instead of only a few. as is the case with the family doctor or general practitioner
In this work experience and equipment count for much. No doctor—no matter how much he may know—can do work without proper equip- Fl
ment.
You women who suffer, think well and ask yourselves. "DOES IT PAY TO WAIT?”
A CONSULTATION COSTS YOU NOTHING |
