100000 TO BUILD ROCK
ISLAND LINE To Ell PAsO

The Rock Island construction has al.
ways been of first-class properties at low
net cost. 1t is claimed that the Rock Is,
land route to FL Paso is 222 miles shorter
thar by the Atchison. Nevertheless At
Gibson railroad opinion is that it will be
many years before the Rock Island ex-
pansion to FL Paso can be a paying in
vestment. The, entire gross business
that the Atchison receives through Fl
Paso amounts to less than 81 900, 900 per
annum. There has been nothing more
disappointing in the Atchison growth
than the failure of the Mexican Central
to materialize through business to any
considerable extent.
The company would require additional
equipment about equal to the cost of the
new line, which indicates that the propos-
ed new stock issue will be not less than
SIS, 100000. This would make the cap
italization of the extension about $32,
600 a mile, which Is the amount of the
present capitalization per mile.

pays small heed to the claims of health
He eats anything. anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes is
in thinking that when a man has filed
his stomach, that IS the end of the bust
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated- These processes depend
upon the healthfulnesS of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
weakness begins to find a special de-
velopnent in some chief organ, heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, etc, to which the
man succumbs. The doctors certificate
reads Uheart disease" Ukidney disease"
as the case may be-
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar-
ent. The body IS sustained by food
digested and assimi1ated. But the body
is made up of its parts and organs, and
W44Cn Ink - WCaAB aA6GoNAOh
imperfect. and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs OF the
body, the result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man is stronger than his stomach,
and nc organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear of "weak
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time OF -weak " heart, "weak"
lungs, uweaI - kidneys, or weakness OF
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true when a
man has heart trouble, /" liver "trouble,"

them and FIRE to warm them, lived
