PARALLEL ROAD QUESTION.

President Bostwick Says There Are
Too Many Roads Already.
President Bostwick of the New York
& New England road has been inter
viewed by a reporter of the Denver
News and if he is quoted correctly his
views must have undergone a complete
change within the past few months.
Mr. Bostwick is reported as saying:
In my opinion there will be very few
lines constructed this year, as there is
really no need for them. Too many
lines have been built in former years
there has not been the business to sus-
tain them. The men that put their
money into railway lines have learned
this fact, and they will be careful of
their future ventures. When a line is
built it has got to live, and in order to
secure business, rates are cut and traffic
is demoralized. The south and east are
well supplied with railroads, and as
rapidly as the west is settled up there
will be lines built to meet all demands.
The volume of business is constantly in.
creasing, and there are ample railroad
facilities for handling it.

EFFECTS OF La GRIPPE.
The Epidemic Has Left Very Serious
Results.

Some months ago when the news
papers were warning the people that the
Russian influenza was on it's way to this
country the doctors had lots of fun
among themselves and laughed to think
how scared people could be about sim
pie cold in the head, the best remedy of
which was handkerchief. The grip
came along, as the newspapers said it
would, and proved to be anything but a
laughing matter. To-day the grip has
gone but it has left it's trail behind it.
Many people who have had it seem UNI
able to shake off the effects and suffer
from general debility and physicians re-
port that in many cases grip patients
failed to make a complete recovery.
The disease is followed by a general
weakening of the system and loss of the
over of recuperation.

THAT BROKEN WHEEL.
Turnwart Book Thinks One Good

Turnwart Book Thinks One Good
Turn Deserves Another.
Says the Meriden Republican Otto
Book, the Waterbury Turner society's
turnwart had quite an experience in
driving over with two Others from the
Brass City Sunday. They were about
five miles from home when a wheel
come off the carriage, and they felt sure
they would have to tramp back again to
Waterbury. They started on the home
ward journey, and greatly to their sur
prise they found another carriage on the
side of the road that had met with an
accident. The wheels were ali right
and one of the trio being a mechanic,
set to work and transferred a wheel to
his carriage. They found out the car
riage by the roadside was the temporary
property of some New Haveners, and
Turnwart Book says they can have the
wheel, which came very OPPORTUNITY to
the rescue, by calling on him at Water
bury.
