A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS,

In the Edinburgh Uni.
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

Force OF the Illinois Central
Here.
OTHER RAILROAD NEWS ITEMS

The Louisville Courier-Journal
says of the proposed l.. 4 N. road
through this section:
The leasing of the Tennessee. Cen
trail railroad to the Illinois Central
and the Southern railway is said to
be the direct cause for the construc
tion of the Cairo, Mayfeld and Nash
Vile railroad, which has been begun
by the l.. & n. The construction is
to be completed 1t is said. in order to
protect the Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis, which is owned by the l..
q y. Before the leasing of the Ten
nessee Central the n. c. e. st. l..
secured practically all the Northern
business of the Illinois Central which
was bound for Nashville. With the
use of the Tennessee Central the en-
tire basis of shipments from the
north over the |. c. was changed, and
IL became necessary TO secure new
outlet and business territory for the
n. c. & st. l..
The construction of the Cairo.
Mayfield and Nashville which Is to
extend from Cairo. ILL.,, to Murray.
on the n. c. & St L.. will give this
outlet and allow the y. c. a. st. L
TO compete for business with the II,
linois Central and other northern
lines now operating into Nashville.
1t is believed that the Cairo. May.
field 4 Nashville will be leased TO
the n. c. 4 St. l.. as soon as II is
completed
One of the n. c. & st. LIS most
important connecting lines, and the
one which furnished il with a large
amount OF interstate revenue, was
the Illinois Central before the Ten
nessee Central was leased. Freight
was exchanged at half a dozen cross
ing points. among them Paducah. Pa
ducah Junction and Hollow Rock
This was the main connection the
Illinois Central had with Nashville
and the heavy northeastern grain
moved over the n: G. & st. l..
With the leasing of the Tennessee
Central, however. all of the traffic
arrangements became practically
void. The Tennessee Central. secur-
ed by the /. c.. extends from Nash
Vile to Hopkinsvllle. where It con
meets with the 7. c.. and all Illinois
Central business now passes over
the Illinois Central's leased rails.
With the connection of the y. G..
& ST. L.. by way of the new line,
with Cairo, the Tennessee road will
have a direct line from Nashville to
st. Louis connections. Should the
connections not result in satisfactory
traffic arrangements IL is possible
that the l.. G. n. will bridge the Ohio
at Cairo. but this is considered very
doubtful.

THE UNCONSCIOUS CRATER.


1t was rhetorical and sensational
sentence in which a recent speaker
:. I'm thjsscity declared tbat-the worst
CRATER is the man who does not vote,
says the Chicago Tribune. But there
as much more than a kernel of truth
in the words. The citizens of a re-
public need constant stimulus TO the
fulfillment of the plainest duties OF
life. The better the working of the
machinery of government the less
the average man is affected. He rare
ly feels the pressure of taxation, He
lives in a generation from which no
military service Is demanded. He is
permitted freedom of thought, speech
and religion, and almost insensibly,
as a result, he loses sight of the SUI
preme obligation which is due his
country. He forgets that that coun-
try, in time of public exigency, may
demand his time his property, and
his life, drafting him for its armies,
If he does not wish to volunteer,
governing him under martial law,
which sets aside the usual privileges
accorded him, and exercising over
him. If need be, tyranny ordinarily
associated with despotism.
The very fact that the American
citizen does not often feel the exer-
else of the sovereign power. and is
not called upon to pay the supreme
obligation of service. makes him
careless OF his civic duties, when, 1t
might be thought, he would feel the
utmost gratitude for the privilege OF
diving under. such favoring condi-
tions. This carelessness becomes
chronic. and there is abundant need
for the constant reiteration OF the
call to duty. IL, then, citizen is
content to enjoy the comforts and
the quiet of American life without
rendering athiDg in return he may
Justly be called CRATER, and
grafter of the worst sort, who robs
his benefactor. For with duty
faithfully performed by the CITIZEN
public opinion Is readily shaped
laws quickly secure enforcement, and
public servants are kept clean and
true. 1t all comes back at last TO
the individual citizen, upon whom
must rest the responsibility for faiF,
ure or success OF government. IL Is
easy enough 10 cry out against the
CRATER i'm official position who puts
his hand into the public treasury.
Perhaps. after all, the worst offender
Is the citizen who does not vote, who
does not take a lively interest in the
selection and election of his rulers,
who fails to recognize the underly-
ing obligation of service which his
country has a just right to demand
from him.
