IA RAILROAD CENTER
Great Trunk Lines Which Have
Their Termini in This City.
an ELABORATE SYSTEM OF RAILWAYS
An Increasing Tide Of Travel to the
South.
IMPROVED CONDITIONS

1t has not been a great while since the
Idea of Washington being an important
railway center would have seemed anus
ing. The developments of the past six or
eight years, however, demonstrate the fact
that today this city Is a railway center of
considerably more than ordinary import
aEce. Furthermore, railway interests are
clustering about Washington more extern
sively each year, and the future holds out
the promise that the national capital Is
to be the converging point of an elaborate
system of railways.
The reason for this is readily apparent
Washington is the gateway to the south
for all that great stretch of territory lying
east of the Ohio river. and north of the
James river. New England, New York and
Pennsylvania, with their multifarious and
constantly increasing business interests in
the south and southwest. must pass through
washington to get into touch with that
section. 1t must be remembered that be-
tween Boston and Cincinnati the only roads
to the south are those that begin at Wash
ington.
But that Is not all. This city also has
trunk line connection with the west, north
west and the northeast. A man can take
a car at depot here and not put his foot
from the platform until he reaches New
Orleans. or st. Louis, or Chicago, or Bos-
ton. He may dine on the train and sleep
on the train. More than that, II he desires

In the course of a day 125 passenger

lesson ttat the women of the south want
and sorely need.
Indeed. they illustrate most potently the
woman movement of the south, which is
distinctly industrial. Through the indus
tries which women can pursue by their own
hresides must this country work out its
salvation. When the farm wife shall raise
her own silk worms, and weave from them
beautiful garments: when her daughter
shall carve ard design the furniture of her
home; when their hands shall fashion from
the red Georgia Clay vessels of fair form

Muscle and Vigor-A Difference.

Many muscular men succumb to fatigues
borne with case by persons far their interiors
in physical strength. Muscle does not i'm
ply vigor. In fact, it is not difficult of proof
that athletes do not live as long or enjoy as
good health as the average individual who Is
vigorous-that is to say, whose digestion
and.sleep are unimpaired, whose nerves are
tranquil, and who has no organic tendency
to disease. These requisites of vigor are
conferred upon those inherently weak, no
less than upon those debilitated through
wasting disease, by thorough. persistent
course of H0stetter's Stomach Bitters, the
leading national tonic, ind0rsed and recon-
mended by physicians Of eminence. 1t will
