The Maintenance of Way forces of the
Erie are now engaged in laying $50 miles
of 90-pound steel rails on the mair track.
A larger mileage has never been laid in
any one year before. The Ere has al
ways been noted for its good track, and
the management finds that it IS necessary
to use a heavier rail on account of the
weight of the several hundred new engines
that have been purchased in the last two
years. Much of the rail being removed
has only been in track four or five years
and will be used on branch lines.

1.-The Simple Life"
Proper Food is Really the First
Step in Right Living.

One of the evils of our complex mod
ern way of living, is II unnaturala and
unhealthy foods.
To have really good health and a
good stomach it is necessary to eat
simple nourishing food. EGG-O-SEE
is the ideal food, and reaches the
proper requirements in this direction
more nearly than any other cereal now
on the market.
To make EGG-O-SEE the kernels of
the choicest California white wheat
are first cleansed by brushes, then thor
oughly steam cooked, then faxed and
crisped to a maple tint and delicately
favored with natural fruit juice and
pure grain sugar.
In these delicious flakes, lies the
mighty strengthening power of the
whole wheat grain that evenly nour-
ishes every part of the body, and gives
physical and mental energy that means
splendid health and successful en-
deavor.

neighborhood scarcely a year and folks
still jumping just to hear them. Yes,
that will do" And, stepping forward
quickly, she dabbed a little kiss upon
her sisters ear. Now, goodby. Be
sure and write soon's you get there, and
don't be set up by the fine things in

involuntary compliment Betty Sylves-
ter hurried toward the kitchen, leaving
Dorcas blushing and frightened-biush-
ing at the unusual compliment and
frightened at the prospect of her first
journey on the cars.
For a number of years Dorcas had

a straw in his mouth, to sit on the
steps for an hour In the cleaning talk

On cold evenings the hour had been
passed in the coy sitting room playing
checkers and popping corn. Not a
word of love had been spoken, but it
was understood in the house and in
the whole neighborhood that John
Baldwin was waiting on Dorcas Syl-
vester and that some time in the flu
ture, as they should determine, the two
good old country families and the two
well titled farms would be united, pro-
vided, of course, John Baldwin's diff
dence eve allowed him to get that far.
AS she ran lightly down the steps to
the farm wagon Dorcas gave one
quick, shy glance up the slope to where
the big Baldwin house stood half hid
den by its towering elms. Yes, there
was Johns buggy standing in the road
before the house, and his fast horse
could reach the station In one-half the
time they could make with the farm
and old Charlie. Besides, Betty
had thought the hired man might as
well kill two birds with n stone, so
he was taxing a load Of produce along,
which he would peddle after leaving

of every 500 received by the railroads,
$4,000 was Immediately paid out to the
employees thereof; that out of every
500 paid out for expenses. s62 went
as wages. If 1t is considered that
practically all of the remaining S38 of
expenses was used IN purchasing ma
terials and supplies, and that large
percentage of the cost of these repre-
sents wages, it is safe to estimate that
not less than 80 per cent Of the ex-
