OUTLETS FOR GOULD SYSTEM.
Plans Forming for One on the sea-
board at New York.


Philadelphia, Pa, March 22.-The
Philadelphia and Western railroad may
prove the realization of George J.
Gould's gigantic plan to obtain for the
Wabash system terminus not only on
the seaboard at Baltimore and Phila-
delphia but in New York. The New
York situation IS to be brought about.
according to persons versed in financial
circles, by a com biEation of the PhiIa-
delphia and Western terminus at Sixty
Rapid Transit. and the Lehigh Valley
rights of way The plan includes the
utilization of the Rapid Transit elevat-
ed and subway lines from the Phila-
delphia and Wetsern terminus at Sixty
third and Market as far east as Broad
street. thence north under the citys
widest thoroughfare in the subway al
ready included in the Rapid Transit
company's underground franchise. BY
a connecting link over territory to be
secured It IS proposed to tap the Le-
high Valley system at Bethlehem and
make entry into New York over the
Lehigh Valley route.
This is an outline of the purpose ly-
ing back Of the pending legislation in
councils permitting the Philadelphia
and Western company to parallel the
Market street elevated and subway. The
street has known for seine time that a
wen known banking house represe emit
ing wabash interests has been quietly
acquiring blocks of rapid transit stock
for a year.

RATE WAR FIERCE on PAPER.
One Road Threatens TO Garry People

-AAC LAO~-u threatens I'D ECOLlAC
Free From Chicago to New York.
Chicago, March 22.=The eastern
passenger rate war is assuming most
alarming prOportions@on paper The
belligerents have taken to hurting dire
threats at each other-at long distance
and terrible carnage of rates has
ensued- From the bellicose interviews
1t would appear that the general pub
lie Will be asked to come on and ride
to New York or Boston free of charge,
with meals ana berths thrown in. The
The Grand Trunk cut the fare 81 to
New York and 50 to Boston; the Wa
bash met the cut, and the other roads
have not done a thing.
Vice President Brown of the New
FORK Central lines delivered the first
telling blow in the paper fight He de-
clared that unless the Grand Trunk
question at issue the Michigan Central
and the Lake Shore and all the other
eastern lines. standard and differential
would cut their rates and continue
cutting until the Grand Trunk cried for
mercy.
So W. E. Davis passenger traffic
manager of the Grand Trunk. replied:
IF the Vanderbilt lines carry out
their threat we shall respond. and
when their rate goes to 81 ours viii be
nothing. We have done everything to
meet them for the last six months. and
they have refused to meet us in any
reasonable way
So far the cut has not materially af-
fected the fare from Topeka to New

cuts are made the fare from this point

duced materially.

TRAFF4C IS STILL HEAVY.
western Roads VIII Not Allow Cars on
Eastern Lines.

Chicago, March 22.-Trafhc on the
roads east from Chicago is increasing
rather than diminishing. and the pres
sure to keep up the car supplies IS as
great as it was at the beginning Of the
winter Some of the western roads
have found it necessary to issue orders
not to permit any of their cars onto the
lines of their eastern connections, be-
cause they find that once they go there
it is impossible to get them back again
in any kind of reasonable time Grain
traffic is lighter than it has been, but
the falling off there has been far more
than made UP by the tremendous
movement of coal which has broken
all records for this season of the year,
and which. in view of the threatened
strike of coal miners has been given
the preference over other lines of traf-
fic There is also an immense move
ment of general merchandise Pur-
chases of country merchants have been
kent up in a way quite unusual, but
evidently not any too big to meet the
consumptive demand, for the move
ment shows a steady tendency toward
increase rather than diminution.
on western roads similar conditions
obtain. All the roads have as much
traffic as they can handle. The roads
are busy with both eastbound and
westbound traffic. and they all say
there is enough tonnage now in sight
awaiting shipment to keep them going
at the present rate until the new crops
are ready to market.

Some people profess to think that just

eat anything and all he wants" Many a
man who .labors'' knows better. He
knows that his stomach is just like other
stomachs and that sooner or later it will
break down if abused, just like other
stomachE.
The laborer is not slow in grasping the
Importance of wheat as a food. And when
he finds out how deliciously whole wheat
may be prepared and that it is really
more nouTishing and Strengthening than
much heavier food and how much better
It makes him feel he then knows, better
perhaps than many Of Us, how foolish It
Is to believe that the laborer can 'eat
anything and all he wants"
