FOUL AIR IN RAILROAD CARS.
When Will Some Expert on Ventilation
Remedy 1t?

a great many people have d way Of
talking of how sleepy travelling makes
them. They say that they cannot be
long in railroad train and remain
awake. This phenomenon is attributed
somehow to the act of travelling, but the
plain fact is that il is due TO more or
less asphyXintion. The car needs not 10
be in motion. 1t is enough to enter it
and begin upon the experience. Whoever
does travel much has to be struck with
the shocking condition Of the atmosphere
IN Whatever car he may enter. 1t is the
first thing one thinks of when he passes
the door. Then he looks about and sees
how many of the passengers are droOp-
ing IN their seats, more or less dopei,
ami all of them used up.
Now the whole trouble is with the ven
tliation OF the car There IS no other
human habitatiun, not even the thpaters
and the churches that begins to be 30

car. This is not right. For much Of
the time the car is ~ motion, and there
must be some easy way to change the

The cluscucss and discomfort of tho
Pullman are attributable to the Indirect
influence Of the warm climate Of AfriCd.

and proceeds to establish the African

1t is of interest To note also that the
total freight cars in service increased
from 1,1l0,O45 on January /. 1898, to
l,4SS. l91 on July !, 1902, and the loco
motives i'll service from 32,17l to 3T,945.
This Is an increase of 3TI, 152 freight
ears and alI4 locomotives during the
four and one-half years which the sta

ness during the past few years could

ing stock, there has probably not been
time for many years when railways have
been So short of ears and of motive pow
or as during the past six months. OF
course. some part of the ear famine has
been due to the tying up of care on yard
tracks. which suggests the idea that in
crease in capacity Of yards and ter
mnals had not kept pace with the in
crease in cars,
Turning to the primary purpose of the
table, 1t is of interest to note that where
as on January /, 1898, only Ala per cent.
of the freight ears in service were fitted
with sir brakes, on July l last no less
than rs per cent were so fitted There
has been an actual decrease in the freight
cars in service not fitted with air brakes
amounting to 100000 in the past four
and a half years or locomotives in serv-
ice only 2S2 are r. 1orted without power
brake equipment, whereas there were

These figures are of particular interest
in connection with the report of the inter-
state commerce commission just issued,
IN which recommendation is made for
further legislation in connection with air.
brake equipment. 1t is urged that trains
shall be required by law to have at least
30 per cent. of the cars equipped with
power brakes in operative condition. In
view of the rapid progress which is being
made in the application of brakes and
| the rate at which the old cars without
| brakes are disappearing from service. we
| fail 10 see the necessity for additional
! legislation of this sort The fact is that
| there are only about 100000 freight cars
| st,'l running without air brakes. or. as
| shown above, only about one-hfth of the
| total in service. These are practically all
| old cars, most of them very old. The
/ great majority of them are of small ca
pacity. AS shown above, they have been
either disappearing from service or else
| receiving brake equipment at the rate OF
! 10000 n year for the past five years. a
| large proportion of them would now he
discarded except for the pressure of traf-
| lic upon the railways and the consequent
| demand for cars. With the first lull in

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP

Cough Remedy" says Frank W. Perry.
Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This is the honest truth. at times
kept from coughing myself to pieces by
taking teaspoonful OF this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would come
on at night would take a dose and it
seemed that in the briefeet interval the
cough would pass of and would go to
sleep perfectly free from cough and it's
accompanying paine. To say that the
remedy acted as a 'moet agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. l had no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip. simply because | had never
tried it for such purpose. but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack Of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far lees severe, and | had not used
