fuse New BIood-RaiIroad News.

The local headquarters of the operat-
ing department OF the Union Pacific
will probably be removed to Cheyenne
on March /. from which point all trains
running between Cheyenne and Den
yer will be operated, says the Denver
Times. This and a number of other
changes are expected by local railroad
men on the Union Pacific. The fact
that General superintendent J. E. Cru.
Der will arrive here either today or to-
morrow would indicate hal some i'm
portant announcements will be made.
MIR. Gruber went to the Union Pacific
from the Rock Island and mis- conduct
so far would suggest that he is not
pleased with the methods which have
been used onthe various divisions of the
road. Well informed railroad men say
that he is DESTROYS of having new blood
II will probably use the ak with lit
tie mercy wherever he thinks such will
tend to the general improvement of
the road. lnasmuch as he was in
structed by President Hartman to
make every effort in his power to re-
duce the expenses of the operating de-
partment he will try and respond by
disposing of certain offices and reduc-
ing the number of operating points.

get into the water supply of town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose health Ii
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth Of all the deaths In the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and An active liver.

Baseless Charge.

The charge that Mr.. Roosevelt is ''an
unsafe man. is disproved by history.
Hewas governor Of New York for a full
term and has been president three
years. These are the two highest ex-
ecutiye posts in the nation. In neither
of them did he ever do an executive
act that has turned out disastrously
for the country? Where does the un-
safeness come in?
The pretended alarm of Democrats
ON this score is7really great compli-
ment to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is equiva-
lent to saying that he is an energetic
president. We Americans are an ener-
getic people, accustomed to doing
things instead Of sitting down and
dreaming about them, and why should
not we have that kind of a president?
Mr.. Roosevelt's energy is Of the
healthy American kind, and it has had
a wholesome effect upon our own peo-
pie and in other countries. A president
who has spent his life doing things Is
greatly preferable to one who has
spent his life writing judicial opinions.
