In The Ladies Home Journal John

operation Of railroads under the caption
Running Train at Night" He pref.
atorily asserts that the most remark
able achievements Of modern civilization
probably are those which affect travel

able and secure. We cross states and
continents at the rate Of 80 miles an
hour with greater security against acct.

their stagecoaches, and we have, even
when on the cars, comforts unknown in
tho palaces Of kings when our GRANDPA

During the year (from interstate com.

ing July 1, 1S94) one passenger was
killed for every 1885, 1853 passengers
carried, and one was injured for every
1873, 1922 carried. This surely is as safe
us living ordinary humdrum lives in
large cities. The report further shows
that a mans chances against injury
were such that he would have to travel
4,406,0 59 miles before getting hurt and
go AZ, 5SS, 966 miles before being killed.
At the rate Of 80 miles an hour q man

death by accident and 17G times before

popularity Of this style Of waist attests
its general favor One waist will easily
retain its freshness to wear through two
collars, now that the shirt waist is
such only in name and does not neces-
sarily mean bodice with shirt front.

We would like to look into the pleasant
face OF some one who has never had any
arrangement Of the digestive organs. We
see the drawn and unhappy faces Of dys-
peptics in every walk Of life. 1t is our ma
tional disease, and nearly all complaints
spring from this source. Remove the
stomach difficulty and the work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people are
literally starving, because they don't di-
gest their food. Consumption never de-

The weekly reports OF the two CONNER
cal agencies, Dunn and Bradstreet, are
the most encouraging that have been
made for many months. 1t shows the
volume OF trade to be in better condition
than it has been since 1892, and were it
not for the terribly depressed values the
country would really be in fairly good
shape. 1t is strong argument against
continuation OF the single gold standard
by which the value OF gold is appreciated,
while the value of everything else is suf-
fering. Under double standard not
ONLY would the volume OF business be as
large as at present but the prices would
also be good. Spokane Chronicle.
