Head Of Trainmen's Brotherhood De-
clares Railway Economy 10 Sacrific-
ing Lives.
Cleveland. June 4.-Cirand Master
P. H. Morrissey of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen, in discussing rail-
way wrecks, said:
Whenever the subject OF the causes
Of railway wrecks is before the public
certain class of railway writer's never
fail to speak of the influence OF or
CARNATIONS of labor among railway
men as being subyersive Of good dis
cipline and a contributing cause to the
many disasters that have shocked the
public during the last few years.
There, Is not a railroad labor or
ganization that can justly be charged
with harnpering safe operations by OPP
posing discipline. 1t is unreasonable to
believe ap organization would object to
the adoption of methods that would
make the employment Of men less haz-
ardous while death is constantly work
ing overtime among them.
'There is too much business for the
railroads too much hurry in conduct
ing trains. and too few employees to
insure the proper degree OF safety to
employe and traveller.
i 1.-THE state railways of Germany en-
ploy more than three times the number
Of men per mile that ours do. and none
can say that this does not contribute
to safety. Every advance IN wages
here is met by counter economics in
operations such as taking off men, etc.
The American railway managers as a
class are, capable and practical men. II
is not their fault that things are as
they are. It is the fault of the system.
If they do not get the results In oper-
alton they are likely to be sidetracked,
What, in my opinion the American
railway systems need to insure greater
safety, is more men to man and in
spect the trains, to guard the switches
and semaphores, and to patrol the
tracks"

Now the biological survey insists that

together working force Of skunks and
turn them loose In the infested area.
While skunks are not to be handled
with impunity. herd Of domssticated
skunks might be kept on every farm

! DON'T CHEW MEAT
Government Chemist Says Mastication
Makes Il IndiaestibIe, and Tells Why.

Washington, June 4.-Don't chew
meat Gulp it iii chunks.
Mastication has no part in the diges-
ton of meat. There is some reason for
believing that chewing will make meat
indigestible. The saliva is an; alkali.
Acids are needed for the conversion of
flesh into the element that nourish the
human body. Too much chewing may
raise the alkalinity of flesh used for
food to such an extent as to seriously
hamper the work of the stomach, which
alone has anything to do with the dis
posal of animal matter.
This, in brief, is the gospel of DIR.
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
department Of agriculture. His views
were called forth by a report by Pro-
lessor, Irving Fisher, Of Yale, on the
relative value of animal and vegetable
foods.
Aside from knowledge gained by him
as chemist. DR.. Wiley has noted that
the carnivorous animals do not chew
their food. They tear it from the bones
and swallow it in chunks. Therefore,
the learned chief chemist holds that If
a man can get a chunk of meat down
into his stomach no matter how big it
may be. he has done all nature re-
quires of him.
"Mastication is good for the devel-
opment of the muscles" says DR.. Wi
ley. "but chewing of meat is unneces-
sary, if not positively harmful. With
vegetables, however, 1t is impossible
to do too much grinding. Everybody
knows. or ought to know. that all the
digestion of vegetables is accomplished
in the mouth and the smaller intes-.
tines. If there is not enough mastica-
ton the work cannot be done after
ward.
"The conversion Of the starch in
vegetables requires more physical labor
by the eater than any other part OF the
ordinary mans diets Starch is alto
gether indigestible, SO there is no rea
son for Professor Fisher advising q
great amount of chewing.
But Fisher Is . faddist; all OF us

Bad Break.
<--.i,fN

The lady missionary to India sat up
in bed, with<a spiteful jerk,
..You are man eater?' she said,
looking the tiger severely in the face,
81 am replied the, beast, licking his
chops with as ilorrid JUNCTION as he
could summon.
"Well. II declare to gesodness!" cried
the lady missionary. Whatever led
you to suppose there was man here?
Scat!"
"But, madam 81
Not a. word, sir!"
OF course the tiger had meant no
disrespect, but inasmuch as the lady
missionary would listen to nothing, and
covered UP her head withal it was only
left to him to sink away.

Duxbury, Mass, to the New York

Deafness Cannot he Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease dportion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by ar
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and This tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bat an infamed con-

usual specifications that the amount

accident losses amounting to about
N75.OO0, and another company about
$4,000.
1t has been ascertained that prac.

KILLED had left insurance policies In
varying amounts In about six or seven
companies. The total of these poll
cies approximate 1920, 900.
The Southern Pacific under the law
Of this state has no defense against

quickly as possible. One of the rail-

that the company would get of by set
