The latest cure for nervousness,
weakness, ETC., is to spend ones time
10 either standing, walking, or lying
in bed. Books are to be read lying in
bed, and meals eaten while the patient
stands. Sitting is to be avoided. An.
other "cure," exciting some attention
10 a medical journal, is the cold
air bath. The patient sits in his
room every morning for half an hour
without any clothing on, and gets
good and cold. He then goes back;to
bed for a morning nap. The effect is
said to be the sa1e as a plunge into
cold water bath, and is taken with

Santa Fe trains between Chicago and
La Junta. The cOlored pOrters, who
will succeed head brakemen, will per.
form many Of the duties OF the head
brakemen and 10 addition will be
expected to keep the cars clean and
do work that a regular head brake
man would not be required to do.
This order goes into effect March l.,
but is not a sweeping order and does
not include ali trains. On different
divisions different trains will have a
porter instead of head brakemen but
in many trains the two brakemen will
remain as at present. The pOrters,
who are to commence the work March

equipped with uniforms ready for
duty on that day.
