building factories had, on May 1, con-
tracts for about $4,000 cars. The es-
t1mated capacity of the plants of all
companies is 250,00O cars per year, or
nearly 210O0 cars per month. These
figures would suggest that there will
be enough orders at the end of April
to guarantee operation at full capacity
until December 1, but manufacturers
are of the opinion that there will be
sufficient business to employ the work.
men until February or March.
The railroads of the United States
now have in service about 100000
freight cars. In 1905 they had made
contracts with the car building COM
panies for 100000 new freight cars, and
in 1906 for 81, 900 freight cars, or ap-
proximately GA, 600 cars in two years.
The capacity of the plants. operated
both by railroads and by car manufac-
turers, was 175,000 cars in 1905. The
capacity was increased to about 100000
cars in 1906, and to about ESQ., 900 cars
this year. The production of three
years should aggregate, by the close of
1907, $4,000 cars.
Last spring the M. K. & T. placed
an order for 80 locomotives with the
American works at Schenectady, N. Y.
They have been received. Fifteen more
have been received from the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient, as that rail-
way cannot find use for the new ones
it has on hand. Besides that, a large
order was placed this week with the
American works from the M, K. & t.
general offices in New York city. The
orders for cars and coaches have been
: heavier this year than ever before.
This condition on the M, K. & T. was
caused by the greatest business the
southwest has ever done, with prospects
that it will increase every year for the
next decade.
Since March only a few large or
ders have been received by the car
manufacturers, although the railroads
especially in the northwest, the west
and southwest, have almost as much
trouble this year as last with freight
congestion. The reason for the rail-
roads failure to contract for addition
al cars is their inability to get money,
either in this country or abroad, to
cover their requirements. The finan-
cial strain felt by the railroads is due
somewhat to their being put on the
defensive by the government, but it is
due more particularly to the effect
produced on the money market by
the general prosperity.
All manufacturers and contractors
dealing with the steam railroads find
their operations stacking. The rail-
roads have adopted a policy Of re-
trenchment, and their plan is to car
ry on only necessary improvements
and betterments.
Reports from the manufacturers of
coaches for urban and interurban cleo
trio railways appear to show that
prospects are satisfactory. The open
ing of many new lines and the extern
sion of existing systems. with the
growth of electric railway traffic, are
tending to keep up the activity in the
coach building factories. These manu-
facturers have, besides, contracts to
build coaches for steam railroads, and
they turn out most of the electric rail-
Way cars used in Mexico and Central
and South America.

Food POisOns.
90 Per Cent of All Diseases the Result
Of Undigested PURIFYING Foods.

Men of affairs. women of society and
children with active brains are too
often sedentary in their habits, giving
little time to exercise. To this evil is
added that of high and irregular lfv-
ing-as a result, the stomach cannot
stand the demands made upon it. The
abused and overtaxed stomach does
not properly do the work of digestion,
food taken in ferments and the poison
'permeates the whole system. The body
loses in weight and becomes a prey
for the attack OF whatever disease it
may encounter.
Did 1t every occur to you how busy
that stomach of yours is It only holds
three pints, but in one year you force
it to take in 2,400 pounds of material,
digest it and prepare 1t for assimila-
ton into the blood. No wonder it re-
bells when overworked. We crowd it
with steaks and pastry, irritate its
juices with spices and acids, and ex-
pect the stomach to do its work. 1t
can't do 1t.
All over the inner layer of the stom-
ach are glands which secrete the
juices necessary to digestion. The en-
trance of food into the stomach is the
signal for these glands to do their
work. The more the food, and the
mand upon them and upon the
muscles of the wall adjoining.
Think of the tons of hfgh-seasoned
game, sweetmeats and appetizers
mill, and then wonder, if you will, why
you are dizzy or nauseated or consti-
pated. Don't blame your stomach or
curse your fate that you should be
born so unfortunately. Blame your
self and apply the remedy.
First, get a small package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taking one
after each meal and at bed time.
They are not a medicine, but diges-
tive. Your stomach is worn out and
needs help, not medicine. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work
that the stomach fails to do. There's
enough power in one grain of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to digest 5000
grains of ordinary food, so you
needn't fear that anything you eat will
remain in your stomach undigested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will rout
the poison because they remove the
cause-food fermentation. They are
natures own cure for dyspepsia. The
host of troubles dyspepsia is father OF
cannot be numbered, for a healthy
stomach is the source of all health.

conditions confront you. Send today

Dyspepsia Tablets. They will bring

Parsons, Kan, Oct. 25.-The Sun
says:
With adverse legislation, almost
amounting to confiscation at times,
and short crops in some parts of the
country, the railways of the country
as a general rule have placed few or
ders for equipment with the car and
locomotive builders since last March.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas seems
to be the only railway which has the
business and disposition to buy any
thing in proportion to it's size, and that
is because the road cannot run with
out the new equipment.
The freight and passenger car build
ing companies of the United States,
which furnish new equipment to prac-
tica1ly all American, Canadian and
Mexican railroads, have received but
very few orders for new cars since the
early part of March. Orders on hand
appear to insure the operation of the
factories at virtually full capacity I'M
til February or March of next year,
but the prospects for contracts after
next March will depend, to a great ex-
tent, on the financial and commercial
indications in the spring of 1908.

by the dozens. The farmers begin to
realize corn is a more certain crop than
wheat, and while the acreage in wheat
will be large on account of the sub
startial increase of T'rego county's pop
Tlation, the acreage planted in corn in
this county in the spring of 1908 will
SurpaSS any year in the history of the
county. To quote the language of one
of the county's best farmers: More
crops are lost in Trego county by poor
farming than by drouth.''
The population of Trego county is
over 5000. Financially her people can
say what few counties in Kansas can
say: The county is out of debt, and
a township bonded, and less than a
dozen school districts.
H. F. Kline, of WaKeeney, has 40
acres of sod corn He estimates the
yield at 20 and 35v- bushels an acre.
There are hundreds of farmers in Ire
go>county who can report as we'll.
There are two banks in WaKeeney,
the Trego County State bank being the
last to organize, less than year old,
with deposits now aggregating over
S33, 600. The other, the Wakeeney state
bank, has deposits aggregating 100000.
In the last 60 days the deposits of this
bank have been running about $1,000
more than they were in the same period
in 1906. The deposits in these banks
will tend to show the prosperity of the
