BIG CROPS AND CAR SHORTAGE.
Railroads Unable to supply Means
of Transportation.

There has never been a time, not sim
ply this year, but in any previous year,
when there was such pressing demand
for all the rolling stock that all the big
lines could muster. and that in service
able condition, says the Boston Tran
script. Our overwhelming national pro-
duction has apparently caught us I'M
awares. The West is complaining loud
~, almost angrily, of car shortage, and
the railroads are confronted with the
heaviest responsibility in their history in
the task of moving crops. Prosperity does
not consist of abundance merely, but also
Of facilities for moving and distributing
that abundance to the points where de-
mand awaits it in the quickest time and
at reasonable rates. But there are very
many embarrassing bitches in the present
situation. which has become so strained
that shippers are in some cases actually
charging the traffic managers with inau-
gurating an artificial car famine.
This, however, is not probable. We
cannot imagine any advantage, present or
prospective. likely to accrue to the roads
from n policy of having an excess of per-
ishablc goods in the hands of producers
or shippers but between the producer and
the carrier are large class of merchants,
shippers and exporters. and they are the
men who are feeling the nervous and al
most panicky strain that comes from con-
GeStion and delay. The roads all through
Che West are operating their shops to
their fullest capacity to increase their
rolling stock, and this condition of affairs
| emphasizes the fact that any considera-
| h!e strike among carsnop men would be
| particularly deplored at this time.
A variant of this trouble is the diff

ers in Maine in getting their potato crop

denied the estimate being 100000
bushels, but even with cellars and store
houses bullying. fear is entertained that
cold weather will come before the imper-

! it is none the less a minor manifestation
of the same general shortage. 1t probably

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined to Bed and In
Constant Pain, Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
It is necessary, therefore, to GREAT it
through the blood if permanent cure
lis expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in new
place, but it will surely return. DR.. Will
1iams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, Of West Cheshire,
Conn. is the wife of the village ma
chinist. "Several years ago." she says,
az was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
of three weeks during which was con-
fined to the bed NV sufferings were
awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.
Zone day a neighbor told me about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and l decided to
try them. After | had taken them a
short time I was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent"
Remember DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
mot act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
hungry and energetic. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medi-

Requirements OF Different Large
Cities of the Country.


Boston requirements are about the
same as New York, except that the
heads are removed from some poultry,
and the skin tied over the end of the
neck. Dry-picked poultry only is wanted.
Chicago wants dry-picked turkeys and
scalded chickens for home trade, but dry
picked chickens to ship. All poultry
should be undrawn and with heads and
feet on.
st. Louis prefers scalded poultry, ex-
cept turkeys for cold storage, which
should be dry-picked. All iipds of poul-
try are wanted, but must be plump and
we'll dressed.
Philadelphia prefers dry-picked poul-
try, undrawn, with heads and feet on.
1t must be fat and neatly dressed.
Baltimore prefers scalded poultry un-
drawn and with heads ard feet OFF,
though poultry with heads and feet on
is coming more into favor.
San Francisco wants dry-picked poul-
try, heads and feet on, and undrawn.
Chickens and ducks are sold by the doz-
en-, geese by the pair, and turkeys by the
pound.
