Freight Car Service.

At the late meeting of the Railway Super
intendents' Association J. r. C~avanagh,
superintendent OF car service of the Big

of interest TO the service. Mr.. Cavanagh
had not time 10 prepare a regular paper

impromptu. and has since reduced them to

that there are now in use in the United
States. Canada and Mexico more than l.
$4,000 freight cars-more than enough to
do the business Of the roads in the busiest
season if some plan could be devised &c

OF relief is the adoption of a uniform stand

ment and the adoption of a per diem. He
believes the time is not far distant when

plan he says would stop the enormous
leaks caused by:
Il. Idle equipment IN one part of the
country while another part is suffering for
the same identical cars.
. The handling of empty cars of sim

"3. The switching OF empties out of sid

the same class of cars TO load via lines

- Unnecessary switching to get some

h knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial

one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
