TO HANDLE HEAVIER TRAFFIC.
Various Roads Making Plans to Care
for Next Years Business

With view to making a conservative
forecast of the coming season the exec
utive officers Of the freight departments
of several railroads have sent letters
to their field men, asking that they
give their opinions as to prospective
traffic and what they believe as to the
continuance of extra business.
These are to be based on their obser-
vations and what they learn from ship
pers. Many of the freight agents In
here have received these letters dur
ing the past few days, and their re-
plies have been almost invariably that
there is every prospect that the next
few months will witness more severe
and trying demand upon the facilities
ever before. One characteristic reply
said: There is only one thing that
will keep the railroads from doing a
bigger business during the remainder
will be the inability of the roads TO
handle the business
The comments on prospects have en-
phasized the big business being done
at this time. and brings to nght me
fact that right now most of the ROADS
are taxed almost to the limit OF their
capacities. A local freight man said
yesterday: -, sre--ls
San almost alarming freight conges-
ton exists. right here in Topeka and
throughout the country. Some OF the
roads have yards. and great difficulty
is being experienced in moving them.
There is an unprecedented OeInduo lOA
cars In brief the business of the
country has grown to such proportions
that the facilities of the railroads are
now inadequate to handle 1t.
The forecasting is doubtless for the
nurpose of securing a basis for esti-
mating new equipment orders. A vast
amount of new rolling stock has been
purchased recently. The American Car
and Foundry company has wlthln the
mast few days refused to book orders
for delivery under II months.

A DOCTOR SAYS
Grape Nuts Food Contains ali the EIe.
meuts Condensed

There was a time when doctors de-
pended almost entirely on the use of
drugs in treating disease. That day Is
happily past, and our doctors of today
are men OF wider views-they have
learned that proper food is most i'm
portant in healing disease. A practicins
physician in New York city says:
Disease is often an effort of Nature
to get rid of impurities in the system
as the result of incorrect habits -
ought to and can be removed by right
living and right thinking.

food of proper quality and quantity,
plenty of pure water. exercise, cleanll-
ness and sleep. When these conditions
are met, health follows, but when they
are denied or neglected, sickness and
disease are sure to result.
The important question is to decide
what is the proper kind of food to sup
ply the physical and mental necessities
of man? 1 have had experience with all
the various food stuffs known to our
markets, but up to the present time
have met with no other answering so
fully all the requirements as does
Grape-Nuts food. In my own expert
I have found Grape-Nuts to be not
only more satisfying. but more lasting
in the benefit derived from it's use It
sends a man forth to his labors in a
state of physical comfort, with a cheer
full and buoyant spirit; and the end of
the day finds him with reserve strength
he suffers less from exhaustion and
depletion of powers.
Il particularly recommend Grape
Nuts food to those whose occupation
involve a great deal of brain work.
There could not be food better adapt
ed to the strengthening and conseva-
ton of the faculties and energies It
supplies a more sustained mental vigof
than any other food that 1 know of

Electricity Cheaper.

Chicago March 5.-By substitution
