new systems. Nearly every merger IN.

new systems Nearly every merger has
been attended by a stock issue, largely
or water, which has been saddled upon
the railroads. The masters of finance
were discounting the growth of the ma
ton and the development Of the prop
critics they were consolidating.
Every observant person has been
aware Of the fact that since the Span
lsh-American war the nations business
mas been expanding at great rate.
The only branch of the country's mech
anism that has not kept pace with this
expansion has been the railroad. 1t has
been the policy of the masters of
inance to check the building of new
lines. force Independent ones into sub
mission and concentrate traffic so that
would yield the largest possible rev.
.nue to the trunk systems which they
controlled. They have succeeded. The
railroads OF the United States to-day
are In few hands. But in their hunger
for large profits and early returns
from the properties they have absorbed,
the masters Of finance have neglected
the physical well being of the railroads.
They have looked more to net earnings
than to improved roadbeds, additional
equipment and better service to the
public. They viewed with more favor
the manager who worked men and
cars to the limit all the time and show
ed reduction of operating expenses,
with big increase in gross earnings,
than the one who always sought to inn
prove the property.
When about year ago the tremen-
dous bulge in the volume of traffic came
suddenly it found the railroads unpre-
pared. The masters Of finance had not
added many locomotives and cars to the
possessions Of the properties they had
absorbed. Neither had they extended
the terminals of the various roads to
meet the requirements Of a constantly
growing traffic. Division superintend-
ents, yardmasters, masters Of transport
tatiOn, train diSpatchers, conductors,
firemen, engineers and brakemen did
all they could. They buckled down to
their work as only well-trainGd. earnest,
efficient men will do. When they were
called upon to work extra hours they
did so willingly. But they could make
no impression on the food. The more
they battled, the more freight seemed
to pour in upon them. Locomotives
capable Of drawing thirty loaded cars
we're pressed to drag trains of thirty
six or forty. Men who could work
safely and we'll twelve or fourteen
hours a day were kept on duty sixteen
or eighteen. Cars that should go to the
repair shops were kept in service on
the chance that they would get through
all right.
AS it was with freight so was. it with
passenger traffic. Every passenger car
that could be utilized seemed to be
needed. One branch Of the services
seemed to keep pace with the other in
growth.
And now the railroads are In the
throes Of the reaction from the strain.
Equipment has given way and men
have given way. Hundreds Of persons
have been killed and hundreds more
probably will be slaughtered before
affairs come to normal state. The
dozens and dozens of freight wrecks
with the killing or manning Of rail-
road employees have been too small In
interest to attract general attention.

Suicide Record Growing.

The suicides reported in various Amer.
jcan cities during the first four months
of this year, according to summary In
the New York Herald, were more numer-
Gus than ever before. Asphyxiation and
hanging were the most popular methods
of self-destruction, and financial trou-
bles furnished the principal causes.

The chief cause Of Constipation and
Indigestion Is weakness of the Muscles
that contract the lntestlnes and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They7 stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets. the dose
may be lessened each succeeding tmo
instead Of increased, as II must be with az
other Cathartics and Laxatives.
Cascarets act like exercise.
