''She was disappointed and wanted TO
know what cough preparation l could
recommend. 1 said to her that l
could freely recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, and sthat she
could take bottle of the remedy and
after giving it fair trial if she did
not find it worth the money to bring
back the bottle and l would refund the
price paid. In the course of a day or
two the lady came back in company
with a friend in need of cough med
icine and advised her to buy bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. l

dation for tie remedy" The remedy

SHORTAGE OF CARS.
Railroads i'm Throes of Rolling
Stock Famine That Threatens
a General Blockade.
DEMANDS HEAVY FOB "EMPTIEs'
Burlington Awards Contract for
Thirty Locomotives Of the
Prairie Type.

Railroads operating in the west are
in the throes of a car famine which
threatens to result in a general block
ade. Notwithstanding the pessimistic
crop reports from certain districts
during the past two or three months,
the movement of grain in the total
promises to be extraordinarily heavy.
In and around Chicago there is con-
siderable congestion of traffic and man
ayers Of the various roads centering
there are already taking action to re-
nit their empty cars as fast as they
are unloaded to guard, so far as pos
sible, against famine in equipment.
The Illinois Central, Burlington, Rock
Island, Northwestern, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, Santa Fe and Alton are be-
ginning to feel the effects of heavy de-
mands for "empties." The worst
congestion now is west of the Missis-
sippi river, but the traffic is moving
east rapidly and it will not be long
before all the available storage tracks
of the systems east of the Mississippi
will be needed.
In the far northwest there is O.
marked shortage of cars to handle
traffic offered. Between Tacoma and
Spokane, Wash, for a distance of
about 200 miles, every side track is
now filed with cars loaded with grain
that cannot be moved until the block
ade is lifted.
Any congestion this year cannot
possibly reach the limit of last years
blockade for the reason that the rail-
roads are now better prepared to ham
die traffic. During the past year the
transportation companies have been
buying immense numbers of freight
cars and engines, it being estimated
that there is at least 25 per cent more
cars in existence now than there was
this time last year.
