Railway People.
900 BOX CARS DAILY

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. 16.-That
the stringency in the money market
has not affected the freight business
of any of the railroads is attested by
the fact that the Santa Fe is handling
approximately thirty per cent more
business in it's yards in Albuquerque
than is handled on a yearly average.
In the last week there has been an
average Of more than 1000 cars of
freight in the yards daily. And on an
average of rs to 80 big, heavy train
loads of freight leave the yards daily.
OF course there is the usual coming
freight. 1t takes nine switch engines
and ten engine crews to handle this
enormous freight traffic.
When the yards have only the usual
run of traffic but six switch engines
are needed to handle the business. The
number has varied from six to eleven,
the eleven engines being used one
day when there was an extraordinary
amount of traffic on the road. That
day the highest number of freight
trains, thirty-f1ve, was sent out Of the
Albuquerque Santa Fe yards.

Throat Affected by Catarrh.

Rev. H. w. Tate, $40 Lincoln Ave,
Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio. writes:
For several years I have been
troubled with a peculiar spasmodic af-
lection of the throat. 1t would seize
me suddenly, and for few minutes
would be unable to speak audibly. and
my breath would be greatly interfered
with. I would be obliged to gasp for
breath.
at finally concluded that it was
some catarrhal affection which prob
ably excited the spasm. 1t interfered
with my vocation as a preacher, at
lacking me occasionally in the pulpit.
ct had heard so much about Peruna
as a catarrh remedy that I determined
to try it. After taking two bottles my
trouble has disappeared. I feel sure
that Peruna has greatly benefited me-
For catarrh of the respiratory or
gans, no remedy has ever been found
to equal Peruna.
