Time and Money Against Life.

Kansas City Star: When 1.-THE fastest
train in the world" made a record run
from New York to Chicago there was
great felicitation upon the enterprise of
the railway. There was equal congratu-
lation that the public would save money
making time. on the fourth run Of this
marvellous train eleven persons were killed
and many others injured The develop
ment demonstrated In such train service
was on a par with the average industrial
expansion of the United States-every-
thing for saving money and time and
precious little to safeguard life.
Is ii not time even in Amerca-so prod
igal Of the universal commodity, life
that the model method Of t~ransporta-
ton should be one equipped with every de-
vice for safety rather than for speed2
Would there not be more satisfaction In
knowing that one would reach ones des-
tination in health than TO run a very ma
terial risk of either not getting there at
all or of being shipped in?
Never believe that one who criticised
the causes of such a catastrophe as the
Lake Shore wreck would be regarded I'm
railway circles as pitiably ignorant and
would be told that every precaution had
been taken and the accident was unavoids
able. They always are. But the acct
dent happened. n the one ~precaution
which might have averted the wreck was
not taken.
The public does not know what that
precaution might have been. Perhaps TO
have used ears that would not smash--as
the inventor Westinghouse says Is posi-
ble--or, maybe, in the last analysis, to
run slower. But what the railways ought
TO understand is that not ever dollars and
time are of more account than human life.

have on a new costume; but, alas, they
are usually disappointed.

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University In his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest of the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight ia ten
million bushels, which find a market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New England.
The competition Of cheap water trans
p%ortation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates Oh these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable u
put of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun

of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut Of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every readable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to a place
so remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate. which it did. BY means of these
low rates, making possible low prices.
the potato crops of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
erybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads. had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times. to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. Inc
Boston and Maine railroad suffered O
decrease in It's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making OF
rates were subject to governmental adj
justment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could have been taken, be

four years of weakness, pain and the

''At the outbreak Of the Spanish

SELECTING THE BROOD STOCK.

If one has raised a litter of fine pigs Of
good breed there are probably several
among them hat will make good brood
sows If properly brought up. The indi-
u should be carefully watched as
they grow and when the selection is made
the pigs should be about five months old.
From then or they should be separated
from the market stock, and until the end
OF the season, placed on the best grass pos
sibie. All females intended for breeding
purpose should ave less c~arbonaceous
food h that given TO those intended
for market. From one-half to two-thirds
corn is enough In the ration from the time
the young SOW begins to eat grain. Be
free with the grass and with the root
crops, increasing the latter e. the grass
feed falls off. AS to the remaining por-
ton of grain In the ration anything that
has proven valuable may be given though
barley and shorts are usually fed. Be
careful not 70 breed the SOW too young,
While opinions differ on this score we nave
had the best success when the young sows
were not less than a year old The SOW
lasts longer bred In this way and the pigs
are certainly stronger and net enough

sow Is old enough to take on the func-

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing OF for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fdence of women. and every tcstimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order hat other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of Alp North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over a year agol wrote you q letter asking
advice, as / had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. / received your
kin letter Of instructions and followed your
advice. | am not only a well woman in con-
sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. I
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for ms"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures OF female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent oma will accept any substi-
tute which a druggist may offer,
: If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for special advice. 1t il
free and always helpful.
