Ccstliest Railroad In America.


Regarded by engineers as a mar
vel of construction is the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle Railway. s123
miles, the most direct line between
Spokane and Portland, which will
be completed January 1, 1909. The
road, built jointly by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
TENS, is the most expensive in Amer
lea.
The line will permit of longer
trains being hauled over 1t than any
other road in the country. There
are no sharp curvatures, the greatest
being 8 degrees, and as result one
locomotive can pull from Spokane
to Portland as many cars as 1t can
start on level ground. This is ex-
pected to set new records for heavy
loading.
Twenty miles of line between Pas
co and Kahlotus cost $5,000,000, or
$250,000 a mile. while mile of
road along the bluffs overhanging
Snake River involved an expenditure
of $500, 900. To survey and build
this part OF the line, which follows
the Columbia River, men were sus-
pended over the cliffs with ropes;
but while there were many narrow
escapes, not a life was lost, nor was
any one seriously injured. New

Bangor, Me.-Maine's annual log
harvest is now in progress, and an
army Of 1900 or 10000 men are
engaged In telling spruce, pine, hem
lock and cedar for the supply OF the
saw mills and the pulp mills in 1909.
In the oIden time the lumbermen
used to wait for the snow to cover
the ground before attempting to haul
any logs, but now the crews are sent
in months before snow falls, and millA
ions of feet of logs are yarded on bare
ground. About the middle of Janu-
airy yarding is supposed to be finished
and hauling begin.
On the Penobscot alone this winter
about 5000 men and 1900 horses are
employed Years ago there was al
ways good supply Of regular woods
men, but latteFly the natives have
been seeking ether employment. The
young meA Of this day do not care to
go into logging camps, with all sorts
of tassociates, to ea1 beans and swing
axes all winter for $25 to $50 a
month. Therefore great difficulty is
often experienced in getting crews.
A woods crew is composed of sew
eral classes of workers. There are
choppers, who fell trees; swampers,
who make the roads, clear away the
small growth and trim the fallen
trees; teamsters, who drive the log
sleds; sled tenders, who load the
sleds; markers, who cut with axes va
rious distinctive symbols upon the
logs; cooks. who are the chefs of the
camps, and cookies, who do the sclll-
lery work and wait upon the men.
The wages vary from SIS to $50 a
month with board, and the season is
usually from four to five months.
The camps are scattered over vast
stretch of territory, extending for zoo
miles or more along the Penobscot
and its branches, away back to the
Quebec boundary line. Woods work
is laborious and monotonous, Begin
ming with daylight and lasting until
dark, with three halts for hearty
meals, consisting for the most part of
baked beans, although in some camps
nowadays a considerable variety Of
food is provided.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts OF mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use Of impro-
per food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use of
heavy. greasy, rich food finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Some time ago had a lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion. caused by too
rich food. got SO was unable to
digest scarcely anything. and medi.
cines seemed useless.
A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. praising 1t highly. and as
q last resort tried it. am thank
full to say that Grape-Nuts not only
relieved me of my trouble. but built
me up and strengthened my digestive
organs so that can now eat anything
I desfre. But stick to Grape-Nuts. .

NATURE OF THE ..Foor AND MOUTH

Cause of the Ef1izootic.
Veterinarians

PHILADELPHIA Leonard Pear
son, State Veterinarian, and other
veterinarians here are agreed upon
the main, characteristics of the mall
ady known as foot and mouth dis
ease" In Europe 1t is also called
murrain. and the principal scientific
names for lit are eczema, epizootica
and apthousy fever. 1t is highly In
fictitious. and its identity is deter
mined by the eruption of vesicles. or
blisters in; the mouth, around the
coronet or top of the foot. or hoof, in
! the cleft between its parts, and (pf
the COW or she goat) on the tdder.
It is most common In cattle and
SWINE The human species is also
susceptible to it, but rarely to SER
ious degree, ~
The specific cause of apthous fever
has not, been clearly demonstrated.
The virus Is contained in the erup-
lions. Authorities say that the cause
is presumably germ. II that Is the
case, the germ is so small that it will
pass through Berkefeld water filter.
Yne infection may be indirect,
through the stables, the straw; hay
or other objects with which diseased
animals have come in contact. The
virus may be carried by an animal
several months after 1t has had the
disease and has recovered from 1t.
The period between the moment of
infection and that when the eruption
appears Is from twenty-four to sew
enty-two hours. The symptoms vary
greatly in different epizootics, being
sometimes mild and at other times
severe. The first evidence OF its pres
ence Is d rise of temperature, which
In cattle rarely goes beyond 104 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The mucous MEM
brane of the mouth becomes red
dened, the appetite Is diminished and
the rumination or chewing of the
cud ceases.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism. 1t is an almost infalli-
Bile cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.

To one-half pint of good whiskey
add one ounce Of Toris Compound
and one ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla
Compound. Take in tablespoonful
