DECLINE IN RAILWAY
TRAFFIC DURING
MONTH OF APRIL
(special to The Sentinel }

Chicago, May "A startling de-
cline in railroad traffic during April
is shown in the bi-weekly statement
of Car Surplusses and Shortages is
sued yesterday by the car efficiency
committee of the American Railway
association. The statement, which
is regarded as an excellent business
barometer, portrays conditions up to
April l 8 on 153 railroads of the
United States and Canada.
During the fortnight following
April /, the number of idle cars sud
denly mounted from 307 $50 to
375,770, the greatest total in the
history of American railroads. The
figures bear out the statements of
railroad men that during the month
of April business conditions have
been at lower ebb than at any time
during the panic.
The highest previous surplus fig
ure was on February ., when il
reached the immense total of 343, :

EYE STRAIN.

Eye strain is much more common
than even physicians suppose. Many
patients are in the hands of practi-
toners of medicine for nervous
ness" "migraine," indigestion" and
general breakdown, who never sus-
pect that these symptoms are reflex
manifestations of eye strain.
Persons troubled with these symp-
toms who have failed to get relief
from drugs would do well to have
their eyes examined for errors of re-
fraction and muscular imbalance, and
properly corrected by

new CAUSE FOUND
FOR DREAD PNEUMONIA
Famous Physician Says Its the Nose
Not the Lungs-A Quick
Cure.

+ The announcement of a new +
+ theory as to the cause of pneu- +
~ monia and the discovery of a i.
+ remedy was made at Thursday +
+ nights meeting of the Chicago i
!. Medical society. +
I. + I. I. /. + I. 1.
DR.. NJ. Manning Fish. who made
the announcement, backed up his
assertions with a detailed descrip-
tion of a case of acute pneumonia
which, he declared, had been cured
in "a hours by means of the simple
method which he described.
DR.. Fish first declared that the
seat of trouble in pneumonia cases
was not, as is generally supposed
in the lungs, but in the small cells
the nose. The pneumoccoccus, or
disease germ, he said, was not harm
full except when pent up in a cell
of this sort Then, he explained, il
acted like an explosive, began to eX-
pand, and was absorbed by the blood
and became one of the most danger
Gus of disease germs.
From these cells the disease
works rapidly down to the lungs and
to all appearances these organs i'm
mediately become the seat of trou-
ble," said the physician. However,
the fuel which is feeding the flames
of disease still is being furnished
from the cells at the top of the nose.
"The simple remedy, consequent
ly, is to draw this dangerous pus
from these cells. That is what was
done in the case which l have de-
scribed, and in "a hours the disease
had disappeared. The lungs. of
course, were still affected, and it
took days before the patient finally
was able to leave his bed

ROCKY FORK COAL
TN MARKET AGAIN
RESUMPTION or IT'S SALE MAY
REDUCE PRICE OF FUEL.

Rocky Fork coal lis being offered on
the market In this City for the first
time in more than a year. Five cars
OF this coal were received by Hoyt
Bros. yesterday, and it is said that the
resumption Of It's sale in Billings may
reduce the cost Of coal more than 81 a
ton.
The Rocky Fork coal mines at Red
Lodge are owned and operated by the
Northwestern improvement COMPANY,
which, 1t is said, IL a subsidiary COM
pany Of the Northern Pacific. The
company ceased furnishing coal to the
coal dealers in all parts Of the state
early last winter, owing to the fact
that the output was insufficient to fur
nish the railroad company with Iuel.
The opening Of q new mine on the
opposite side Of the city Of Red Lodge
from the old mine, and the fact that
the railroad company has stored enor-
nous quantities Of fuel In anticipation
Of q coal famine, has made 1t possible
for the company to ship coal for com-
mercial USE.
