ten distracted from food they form
an unreasonable aversion for by few
pretty dishes and the dainty and at
tractive manner of presenting the I'M
popular but wholesome form of nour-
iShment
Coupled with attractiveness in serv-
ing must be a knowledge of how to
produce inviting doors and fiavorS in
such foods as are suitable to the very
sick; for the whims and prejudiceS of
the patient must not be considered to
the retarding of their recovery. Do not
combat them Openly-in fact never dis
likes or diSlikeS with the invalid, as it
is your province to know what they re-
quire and to see to it that the neceS-
sary kind of foods are made paIatable
to their critical taste This requires
thought and care, but SO long as indi-
vidualS will break the laws of health,
so long must some one repair these
breaks.
Soups, broths, fruit soups and slightly
sweetened drinks with fruits, jellies and
porridge, all of which contain from 80
to 9S per cent water form very large
part of the dietary for the sick SO
little food is contained in each mouth
full of this class of dishes it is readily
mixed with the natural juices before
more is taken, and is assirnflated quick

ulant will penetrate every part of the
system and encourage the nerves to call
for more. This is often the cause of the
raVenOuS ana rapidly increasing dppe-
tite displayed by the fever patient
Beware at this period that you do not
indulge the appetite with too great a
quantity of food at one time or at too
frequent intervals; and while the food
must be sufficiently rich in nutritive
value the natural functions Of the body
are sluggish in sickness and there must
be no over-working of such organs as
the kidneys. Too much fertilizing will
kill plants just as surely as neglect, and
many home patients are killed by this
mistaken idea of kindness than the
world dreams Of Nature has great re-
storatives in perfect cleanliness, plenty
of fresh, pure air, sunshine, rest and
quiet sleep.
BY perfect cleanliness we mean not
only the outward condition of the body,
but the removal of the accumulation of
waste material in the system. To do
this the blood must be diluted in order
to take up more substance and hasten
the recovery of the patient. Remember
that the cells are very sensitive and

neers for the reason that this class is
already well paid
The clerks, travelling passenger and
freight agents and telegraph operators
say that through all of these advances
there has not been hint of an increase
in the salaries of the armies employed
in the other departments, known as the
brain workers.
In speaking of the question a chief
clerk in one of the Chicago offices is
quoted as saying:
1T appears Strange that the execu-
tive officers who are responsible for the
advances in the wages of trainmen new
er think that the Woodworking clerk or
small officer is underpaid. He appar-
emily is not considered worthy of a
thought in this line. As a matter of fact
our work is three times as hard as that
of the average trainman. In the first
place there is no limit to our hours of
work If there is work to do we must
perform it, regardless of hours We
work all day and during busy seasons
half the night. We must sit in close
offices and execute brain-wearlng tasks
for salaries in a majority of cases be-
low those paid conductors or engineers
or even brakemen and switchmen.
Their work is purely physical and out
of doors. They grow fat and become
prosperous while the office drudge be-
comes pale and loses his health for half
the money.
..Of course we have no recourse We
have no unions or brotherhoods to en-
have. The railroad companies have
nothing to fear from us. We are at
their mercy. If we strike our places
are filled in an hour and that is the last
of our grievance. Often a request for
an increase in salary is met with dis
missa1.
THE argument is made that we are
in line for official promotion. which
ought to be a consideration for low sal
aries. The trainmen are also in line for
higher places and many of the best Of
ficers of railroads in the country rose
from the ranks of brakemen. Now
adays there are few changes in official
STATS of railroads and the thousands of
clerks have about as much hope of at
tanning a higher official position as they
have of becoming president of the Uni
ted States"
1t is reported that officers of one or
two of the big roads have come to a
realization of the fact that the salaries
of the clerical forces need attention and
have determined to make advances.

Santa Fe Gets a Line From Chi
cagO to st. Louis
Over the C. p. & st. l.. Tracks
From Pekin, Illinois.
FITTING FOUR TRAINS.
Same Route Was Used by Santa
Fe 10 Years Ago.
Local Officials Think 1t is a
Losing Game.
FITTING FOUR TRAINS.

"A through line of the Santa Fe from
Chicago TO st. Louis, by way of the chi
cago, Peoria & st. Louis railway, Is SAID
to have been arranged for Santa he
trains. This information comes from
Pekin, Ills, where the Santa re AT
present has a terminal The dispatch
from Pexin follows -,
BY March 1 the Santa Fe railway will
have established a through line from
Chicago to St Louis by way of the chi
cago, Peoria and st. Louis railway
The Santa F'e has terminus line at
Pelxin, and an official of that road TO-
day stated that arrangements had been
made for connection with the ChlcaSo'
Peoria and St. Louis railroad He also
stated that through passenger traftlc
between St. Louis and Chicago would be
conducted, running over the terminal
railway line from Pekin to PEORIA
thence into Chicago over the Rock IS
land and Peoria road, which the Santa
F'e recently purchased. Four passenger
trains are now being fitted up for TINS
new service
The santa Fe officials are also fig
uring upon building extensive shops in
Pekin.''
This story was all news to the Santa
Fe officials located in Topeka, and there
was a general expression of doubt as to
the truth of it
About ten years ago. prior to the re-
Ownership of the Santa F'e, the Chicago,
Peoria & St. Louis road, then known
as the Jackson Southeastern railway,
was in the control of the Santa F'e. 1t
was owned by the Santa Fe and con-
trOiled by it the same as the Gulf, Col
oradO & Santa Fe is now owned and
controlled. When the Santa Fe went
into the hands of a receiver, the Jack
son Southeastern, along with other con-
Meeting lines, was loped off from the
main system.
One of the chief officials of the Santa
Fe road said today: During the time
which the Santa Fe has operated
the Jackson Southeastern, it was a
losing investment. The Santa Fe
sank a lot of money in the enter
prise, and could not make it pay. The
reason was that there was too much
competition for the Chicago-St. Louis
trade. Three big lines were in Compel
ition with the Santa Fe, and there was
nothing in it for us
AS far as competition is concerned
the same conditions exist today that eX-
listed then 1 am inclined to doubt the
truth of this story because I think it is
questionable whether the Chicago-St.
Louis connection would prove a profit
able investment. However, I have
heard nothing official, and we don't
need to worry much about the scheme
until we get some direct information"

WEAK LUNGED
PEOPLE.
Their Chance of Escaping Death
from Consumption.

If all weak lunged people were told
that their chances of escaping con-
sumption was only one in six, and that
after contracting the disease there was
but one chance in ten thousand of their
ever recovering unless they adopted n
certain treatment. what a sensation it
would create.
Yet these are the exact facts in the
case. The number of people who die
annually from consumption alone aver
age one in every family of six in the
United States, and medical records and
government statistics show that not a
single case has been cured excepting
by one treatment
Thousands of weak Iunged people
who through their ignorance imagine
that consumption is hereditary and that
there are dozen and one different
death beds annually because of their
ignorance as to the true facts and it is
high time they were brought to a real
izing sense of their danger.
Until Hyomei the new dry-air germi-
eide, was discovered, deaths from con-
sumption increased over % per cent. an
nually.
No reputable physician would ac-
knowledge that there WAS a cure for
the disease. and the United States
one of the thousands of treatments
used.
Since Hyomei was discovered. the
death rate from consumption is shown
to have decreased SO per cent cent. an
nually 1t has been endorsed by the
United States Health reports and the
medical profession have declared Hyo-
mel to be the only cure known for
coughs, catarrh, pneumonia and con-
sumption
These are the facts as they stand to-
day and every person suffering from a
respiratory disease should learn the
truth about this new cure by writing
to The r. T. Booth Co, Ithaca, N. Y,
for a free sample of Hyomei, or if you
haven't time to do this, ask your drug
gist for a Hyomei Outfit. 1t may save
your life.

Logical Move For the Frisco.

There's are all kinds of rumors to the
effect that the Frisco railroad will eS-

The Traveller is not authorized to say
things have happened. Since the Frisco

CAUGHT BY A RUsE.
How a Violation of Railway Passen-
ger Agreement Was Detected.

As the result of considerable strategy
the local agent of prairie railroad has
been found guilty by Commissioner Par
ker of the Colorado Terminal Lines as
ISOLATION of violating the passenger
agreement.
The story Of the detection of the agent
as it leaked out in the railroad colony
follows: The commissioner, having re-
ceived an intimation that special rates
were being given in that office, sent to
Chicago for a young attorney and few
detectives. The attorney was made ac-
Quainted with the lay of the land and
registered at the Albany hotel. The next
morning he walked into the railway
ticket office in question and desired 10
secure a special rate to Chicago for six
people He was referred to the agent
and stated his case.
The attorney told that he was inter
tested in a suit involving the La Belle
Powder and Mining company of this
state, charges of fraud in the purchase
of machinery bringing the case up in the
Chicago courts. He was taking the case
on speculation and desired to take six
witnesses from the camp to Chicago at
his own expense. If he won his case he
would secure large fee. The railroad
agent looked hard at the young attor-
ney- The story sounded straight, he told
him, but only recently the commission
er had fined him heavily. Could the at
torney identify himself through some
body in town Did he not know some
lawyers? The Chicagoan was obliged to
confess lnaI ne d1d not he was IlnalIy
sent to the local legal representative or
the railway with the assurance if the
lawyer thought him all right, the tickets
would be issued. The Chicagoan went
down and talked mining law with the
corporation attorney so convincingly, it
is said, that the latter unhesitatingly
wrote that he was all right"
Triunphantly bearing this note the
lawyer returned to the railroad office
and commenced dickering for the reduc-
ton on S177 worth of tickets. or six full
tariff fares to Chicago. The young at
tOrney wanted them for 500, while the
agent said $132.50, and as negotiations
grew closer he stuck by that figure and
even refused to part with the extra 81. so.
The deal was finally completed on that
basis and the visitor left with the tick
cts. Within half an hour the agent re-
ceived the six tickets back, with the re-
quest that he redeem them at tariff
rates, according to rule He passed the
money over the counter and it went
back to the Colorado Terminal lines.
