nearly every case of these disorders, where
directions have been followed.
Mrs. Truckenmiller is a prominent lady in
the town where she resides, and the facts
relative to her sickness and recovery are
well known to her neighbors and friends.
She writes:
my nervousness came on from having
la grippe. 1t left me weak and exhausted.
and got fright which Frustrated me. and
then followed that horrible disease. For
twenty-five months I never knew what 1t
was TO have a nights sleep. I had spasms
that lasted from four to five hours, and my
cries were heard three and four squares
away. This is not half my suffering. My
sickness cost my husband $500 that never
did me any good; seemed to get worse.
Finally we tried DR.. Miless Nervine. The

credit of the Big Fonrs adoption of salts
factory sanitary measures. He stated that
all the cars on this road are thoroughly
cleaned and ventilated at the end of each
one hundred miles run, the cushions taken
out and busted thoroughly, all draperies
washed, while once month each car is
similarly treated and the woodwork
fumigated. DR.. Hurty also said that other
Western roads had written for copies of
the regulations by which these cleansing
operations We're conducted, and that the
proposition of adopting similar regulations
was recently discussed at a meeting of the
superintendent of the different divisions of

CIVIL : SERVICE RULES
LEADING RAILWAYS FILLING ALL
VACANCIES by PROMOTION.
DIR. Hurry ExtOIs the Sanitation of
Piece of Road to BE Abandoned.

OF recent years it has been the policy of
the most successful railways to recognize
the rules of civil service in the promotion
of employees to fill vacancies or newly Gre
ated positions. The Big Four, the Pennsyl-
vania lines and the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton strictly observe the rules for
the promotion of employees. They have
looked upon the matter in the light that if
the employee was competent to fill minor
position he was worthy of promotion to the
next position in Importance when the oc-
CASTOR presented. There are a few railroad
officials, however, who hold TO the old idea
that If an employee is well qualified for a
position he should be kept in it on account
Of his familiarity with the work. 1t is
claimed by well-inforlned railway officials,
large shippers and other patrons Of rail-
roads that the policy of supplanting expert
enced and capable men in important posi-
tions by strangers is a mistake and in
variably affects the business of the road in
a manner which is detrimental to its best
interests. AS a result, also, the old en-
ployes, who in all fairness, are entitled to
the positions, lose interest in the welfare
of the company and render inferior serv-
ice
