Annual Report VIII Show Increase of

The annual report of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy to be issued in Au-
gust will show an increase of over ST.
COO, 600 in gross earnings and relative
ly large increase in net. The increase
in net would have been much larger
but for the advanced price of labor and
materials. Officials of the road com
plain that hardly day passes that they
are not confronted with demand for
higher pay on some part of the system.
With the same number. on the pay rolls
today that the road had a year age on
the same work the total in wages would
run SO, 900 a year more than in 1905.
During the first ten days of June
earnings ran away ahead of last year.

MANY INJURED N BRITAIN.
Assertion That More Regard Is Shown
to safety There Is Refuted.

-Ae-SJ--
to safety There Is Refuted.
Statements frequently made and wide
ly published to the effect that the rail-
roads in Great Britain are operated
with much more regard to the safety OF
passengers and employees than are those
Of the United States do not appear to be
borne out by the facts.
Comparisons made are proved TO be
unfair for the reason that the statis-
tieians have made use of the figures for
one particular year in the history of
British roads during which the injury
and fatality cases were exceptionally
low.
II figures as compiled and published
IN the Railway News Of London under
recent date. showing the number Of ac-
cidents and fatalities in England in the
years 1904 and 1905, be taken as a fair
example of actual condition there, they
snow that the total is much greater than
has been represented in the statements
previously referred to.
For 1904 the total number of persons
killed was lob and the injured $3.50. OF
the killed 115 were passengers, 416 were
employees of the companies or contract
ors, ferty-nine were accidents at sta
tions and 493 We're grade crossing and
track accidents. OF the last named 425
Of the kille.- were trespassers and sui
ci-es- OF those injured 1869 were pas
sengers, 1921 employees of the com
at stations and 173 were from other
causes, including 1872 trespassers and
suicides.
For 1905 the total number of killed
was LOO. of whom 148 were passengers.
399 employees of the company or con
tractors, ffty-five accidents at stations
and 1873 other cases including 439 tres
passers and suicides. There were In this
year $3.50 persons injured. of whom 1858
were passengers, 1892 were employees of
the companies or contractors, 1873 were
accidents at stations and 157 were other
cases including trespassers and suicides.
In addition to the foregoing the same
authority states that the railway COM
panies have reported to the board of
trade in pursuance of the requirements
of the railway act the following acci-
dents which occurred during 1905 upon
their premises, but in which the move
ments of vehicles used exclusively upon
railways was not concerned. namely:
Six passengers, eleven employees and
eight other persons killed and 272 pas
sengers, 2.S27 employees and 104 other
persons injured, making a total of TWEEN

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, But Upon
Vital Force.

Depends Not Upon Years, But Upon
Vital Force.
In Rock Island lately there has been
good deal of discussion in regard u
old people Some at 30 years call them
selves old, while others at 20 years
seem active, vigorous and young.
1t is not years. but it is FL loss of
vital force that makes person old.
Weakened digestion, thin blood and
POOR circulation soon start functional
then the symptoms of old age quickly
appear.
Our well known druggist, H. o.
Rolls, says that old feeling may be
warded off, and we wish every person
in Rock Island who feels old, whether
they are SO i'll years or not, would try
the great discovery, Ninol We know
that It has vital principles which viii
in Il natural manner strengthen diges-
ton. send rich, red blood coursinG
through the veins. and give new life
and strength TO every organ of the
body. and this is what makes the old
feel young again.
Mrs. II. w. Avery says:
At the age of 50 | felt the need of
n tonic, something to strengthen and
build me up. For some time | have
been taking Vinol, and | have found
that it brings vigor and renewed Vi
tally to the aged as nothing else will"
Vinol repairs worn tissues. checks
