LIFE OF RAILWAY TIES.
II. U. Nudge Gives Statistics to Main
tenance of Way Association.

The data gathered for this years re-
port to tn maintenance OF way asso-
citation confirm the statements hereto
fore given as to the average life of
treated ties in this country. The rec
ord of treated pine ties taken out OF
tracks of the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe during 1901, complied under the
direction Of II. U. Nudge, general man
ager, show the following:
Removed in 1897 on six divisions, av-
erage life, 1918 years.
Removed in 1898 on eight divisions,
average life 1886 years.
Removed in 1899 on eight divisions
average life. 1861 years.
Removed in 1900 on nine divisions
average life 1918 years.
Removed in 1901 on ten divisions
average life, 1888 years.
Mr.. Nudge says: Special attention
should be called to the fact hat these
figures represent only the average life
| of treated ties taken out on account Of
rot. and not the average life Of all ties
treated during each year" Also: III
must not be overlooked that 1t is the
weak sisters which come out first; the
| strong, sound ones remaining in {
much longer time. under the principle
of the survival OF the fttest."

ALARMING Decrease.

Net earnings of the Santa Fe for
March proved a disappointment. 1t
was expected they would be such as to
reduce the loss made in the first four
months of the fiscal year, says the To-
peka State Journel. Instead, the loss
was increased considerably. Operat-
ing expenses increased enormously.
The persistent decrease in the net
earnings of tn Santa Fe is one of the
peculiar things in the history of that
road which has been causing much
discussion during the past year. The
gross earnings have shown a steady
increase. and it appears that some
thing must be wrong with the opera
ton of the road. The immense in.
cas- in gross earnings Is all eaten
up with increase in operating ex-
penses.

The General Managers Association
of Chicago has decided that the time
has nearly arrived when a halt must
be called on the demands that are be-
ing made by labor organizations. This
conclusion was reached at a meeting
held in Chicago on Tuesday.
Although an agreement was not
made, there was a tacit understanding
that II there was not a speedy cessa-
ton of labor demands, every railroad
in Chicago would stand together in re-
fusing to grant further increases. The
railroads will cooperate with the
wholesale merchants in the effort to
bring about a ~peaceable settlement of
the difficulty with the freight handlers.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the managers of the wholesale
houses with a view of outlining a poll
cy TO be followed in the matter.

FOOD IN NEED
is a Friend Indeed.

Many times a school teacher in the
middle Of a heavy session requires ex-
actly the right kind of food to rebuild
the wasted nerve and brain tissues as
well as to keep up the muscular N
ergy. This is the business of Grape
Nuts, in which the starchy part of the
pure cereals is turned to grape sugar
and where the phosphates predomi-
nate, making it rich in food value and
ready for the weakest stomach to as
simulate Immediately. A lady teacher
of Minneapolis says:
about four years ago realized that
I was breaking down nervously in the
middle of the school year. To a school
teacher this means not only loss of
health but inability TO go on with her
work. Nothing appeared to help me
and I was just about discouraged when
a friend recommended that | look into
Grape-Nuts. On reading what this
food does toward rebuilding brain and
nerve centers | made up my mind to
give 1t a fair trial.
4 ate Grape-Nuts food dry with
cream for breakfast and enjoyed il
greatly; my improvement began i'm,
mediately and was so steady that | did
not realize how fully | had been bene,
fitted until an extra strain came on ms
in my school work through which
was able to go, continuing to improve
all the time. Looking back on the
trial now, | realize how this wonderful
food saved me from a certain break
down.
81 have kept up the daily use OF
Grape-Nuts ever since and have never
had a return of the trouble, always

sential to my health as fresh air OF

What should we have heard If the senator
