Charcoal has long been known as a
great absorbent of gas. A painful of
charcoal will positively purify a room
filled with foul doors and decay. Its
absorbing ratio is one hundred times
greater than its own volume.
The ancients gave charcoal for many
human ills successfully. The North
American Indians used it for snake
bite. poison from eating wild herbs and
cured what they called stomach bad
medicine" with it.
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt
the peculiar curative property of the
willow is represented in a chemical
quality in its charcoal.

Freight Car DISTRIBUTION.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Franklin K.
Lane of the Interstate Commerce
commission opened the proceedings of
the twentieth annual convention of
the National Association of Railway
Commissioners today by submitting
report from the committee on car dis
tribution and car shortage. He stated
that during the present year practi-
cally all American roads had been
able to furnish transportation facilities
within a reasonable time after
application from the shippers. This
change from the extreme car shortage
of the fiscal year 1867, he said, was
due partly to increased facilities on
the part of carriers, partly to more
efficient use of equipment and partly
to general business depression.

In the ten years from 1898 to 1908
the steam roads of the country in
creased their traffic ton mileage and
passenger miles 100 per cent. During
the same period this growth in traffic
was accompanied by an advance of
only 20 per cent in the capital cost of
the roads and equipment This means
that the people of the United States
have had the use of $3.50, 900, 900 for
investment in other productive chan
nels. Much of 1t has been applied to
the development of mining and manu-
featuring enterprises that have be-
come prime factors in providing profit

due to leave here at $40 in the
morning, was an hour and twenty
minutes late in getting started yes

are required to devote a certain
amount of time resting before they
can leave on another run.
The Santa Fe landscape gardener
from Topeka, was in the city a few
days ago looking over the ground
west of the depot here. Some time
ago the matter of converting that
tract of land into park by the COM
pany was discussed quite freely. 1t
is possible that the subject is to be
revived in the near future and that
in the spring the new park is to be
laid out. A park on the half block of
ground west of the depot would be a
great thing for the company and for
Arkansas City.
Two sections of passenger train Is
and two sections of passenger train

night. There is a homeseekers' excur-
