LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
RAILROAD EARNINGS.
Rate Charges Should Be Sufficient to Maks
Investment Profitable, Says Correspondent.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The general information from railroad COM
panies is that the amount of freight on hand "a
much greater than the roads can transport They
say money cannot be had enable them 20 put
their roads in physical condition TO deliver the
freight and carry passengers up to the demands
OF the public The reason for such conditions I
believe 10 be that those who have money to lend
or invest indisDosed to do either in connec-
tion with railroads until the people recognize tho
reasonableness of rate charges that will permit
the companies to pay interest equal at least to
that which is paid and earned in other lines OF
business. Nobody who is acquainted with railroad
construction and management would begrudge the
investors the profit made IN building new roads or
IN Improving the old ones If they received even
i per cent yearly their mones honestly used
In either Of those ways
There Is quite as much risk in such investments
as there Is In mercantile manufacturing or any
other legitimate business and surely it cannot be
claimed that railroads less important 10 the
wants of the people than is any other kind OF
business. Stop railroad transportation for onlv a
orief time and the people OF greater New York
would staTve- II would much surpass the far1ine
OF Egypt There IS plenty OF money 10 invest IN
improving the present roads and in adding enough
more roads to meet all requirements Of the peopls
~ a reasonable interest dividend for its use
provided il is used solely for improving and
building roads at a fair cash cost I believe all
the states would cheerfully welcome such railroad
conditions, and I also believe that our vigorous
President. Theodore Roosevelt would gladly and
earnestly do all that is necessary on his pa-r to
further and expedite 10 a fun consummation such
an important and very pressing state Of railroad

New-York tribune., 1907-10-07

In reply to this exhibition of---well let
the reader name it, the Postum Co. says:
Let II be understood that appendicitis results
from long continued disturbance in the in
testines, caused primarily by undigested starchy
food, such as white bread. potatoes rice, partly
cooked cereals and such
StarChy food is not digeSted in the upper
stomach, but passes on into the duOdenum. or
lower stomach and intestines, where, in
healthy individual the transformation of the
starch into form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers Of digestion are weakened,
a part of the starchy food will lie i'm the
warmth and moisture Of the body and decay,
generating gases and irritating the mucous sur
faces until under such conditions the whole
lower part of the alimentary canal including
the colon and the appendix, becomes involved.
Disease sets up and at times takes the form
known as appendicitis
When the symptoms OF the trouble make their
appearance, would it not be good, practical
common sense to discontinue the starchy food
which Is causing the trouble and take food
in which the starch has been transformed into
Il form of sugar in the process of manufacture? q?
This is identically the same form Of sugar
found in the human body after starch has been
perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made, up very largely of
starch and is required by the body for energy
and warmth. Naturally. therefore. its
should be continued, if possible, and for the
reasons given above it is made possible in the
manufacture of GrdpeNuts.
In connection with this change Of food to
bring relief from physical disturbances, We
have suggested washing out the intestincS to
get rid of the immediate cause OF the disturb
anCe.
Naturally. there are cases where the disease
has lain dormant and the abuse continued too
long until apparently only the knife will avail
But ii is a wcll-estabshed fact among the best
physicians who are acquainted with the details
above recited, that preventative measures are
far and away the best.
Are we to he condemned for suggesting Il way
to prevent disease by following natural meth
ods and for perfecting food that contains no
medicine" and produces no medicinal effects"
but which has guided literally thousands of per
sons from sickness to health? We have re-
ceived during the years past upwards of 25OO0
letters from people who have been either helped
or made entirely well by following our sugges
tions and they are simple.
If coffee disagrees and causes any of the all
ments common to some coffee users quit il and
take ON Postum.
If white bread potatoes, rice and other starch
foods make trouble, quit and use Grape-Nuts
food which is largely pre-digested and will
digest. nourish and strengthen, when other
forms of food do not. It's just plain old COM
mon sense.
There's a Reason" for Postum and Grape
Nuts.
