new KIND OF HAND CAR.
Santa E'e Makes Tests of Gasoline
Propelled Models.

The time has arrived when the ordi-
nary form of hand car which is in
common use throughout the country,
and with which practically every one
is familiar, has reached the end of it's
usefulness. 1t is only question of
time until section gangs will be sup
piled with some form of gasoline
motor car.
The Santa Fe railroad. with its
usual foresight and thoughtfulness,
has just been making tests of the
principal designs of motor cars for
track use. These tests have been car
ried on during Yhe past three weeks
under the direction of a committee
composed of c. H. Gaunt. assistant
general manager; w. L. Allison,
mechanical engineer, and L. NJ. Gain,
chief electrician. These tests were the
most complete of the kind ever under
taken.
Four makes of cars were tried. the
Sheffield, the Buda, the Duntley, and
the car constructed according to the
design of H. w. Jacobs, assistant
superintendent of motive power
These cars are radically different in
construction, method of transmitting
the power, weight and various details.
Each car was given a road test by a
run to AtchiSOn and return They
We're then given pulling test with
dynam between the motor car
and loaded car behind and were
finally given hill climbing and general
service ability tests.
The hill climbing was made on the
switch leading up from Wolffs pack
ing house to the Santa Fe yards |
which has about as steep a grade and
and as bad curve as is to be found
anywhere on the line. Each car was
run with trailer cars and carrying |
ever increasing loads until the
hauling capacity was
reached. Each car was also stopped |
in the steepest part of the grade. and |
required to start with the maximum |
possible load.
Although the findings of the COM
nittee are not yet known, it is safe to |
predict that a car of some design will |
De adopted as standard on the Santa |
Fe. and that section men will be sup

"Can it really be true?" Gray-haired
people are asking one another since the
announcement that the famous DR.. Mott
has discovered a hair restorer that will
bring back to gray locks the color of
youth
Many a man yet in his prime is af-
f1icted with premature grayness, and in
a sense it is a serious affection. There
is no need to look old before your day!
A man who used DR.. MOTIFS Hair Re

why he cared whether his hair was gray
or not He answered. How would you
like for people to call you a nice old
man when you felt as young as your
youngest daughter? It's a boon to men
like met" Seriously, this discovery is
of worldwide Importance, especially
since it is just as effective in cases of
hereditary grayness as in any other.

WANTED---A NAME.
Council Gives Up in Despair After
Long Session

At a meeting of the streets and
walks committee last night the street
naming brush pile was again fired up
and allowed to blaze until the last car
left. But results were far more sat
isfactory than at any other meeting
and it looks as though the only ques-
ton to settle Monday night will be the
nameless street in the Martin & Den
mis- addition which has been suggested
as "EmpOria avenue" but was Kissed
down by visitors and councilmen at
the last session. The report of the
street naming committee as given out
at the last council meeting will prob
ably be adopted with one alteration
Several of the cOuncilmen have made
trips over the city since the committee
made its report and they have found
their version to be the best A name
for the nameleSS street will be left to
the citizens living there and if they do
not suggest anything the council will
ind q name. For awhile last night it
looked as though the seriousness of
the meeting would be broken up by
City Engineer Rogers, who has a repu-
tation of jumping from the sublime to
the ridiculous. The committee was
grinding diligently over the presidents
of the United States and uuarreIling
over their order of office in hopes that
Grant street might be inserted after
Lincoln by some manner or means
when the city engineer chimed in
with the following question:
Gentlemen. l can't figure out when
Western avenue was president" and
then the committee had to explain to
the HOPELESS engineer that only streets
and not avenues were named after the
presidents. The coun cilmen are es-
pecially anxious to have the street
naming situation settled in hope that
the new names will get into the city
directory.

FEARED BEING GRABBED
Woman's Nervousness from Coffee
Drinking.
The brain acts through the nerve

The brain acts through the nerves
When the nerves are irritated by
coffee drinking the mind often
imagines things which have no real
ger. unfriendly criticism. etc.
A Mich. woman suffered in this way
but found how to overcome it. She
writes:
For twenty years. I drank coffee
thinking it would give me strength
when tired and nervous.
1.-The more coffee l drank, the more
tired and nervous became until I
changed my work from sew
ing to house-work. This gave me
more exercise and was beneficial but
] kept on drinking coffee-though
could not do without it.
Il was so nervous at times that if
left alone I would not go from one
room to another for fear someone
would grab me, and my little children
had to go around on tiptoe and
speak in whispers.
Finally an attack of the grip weak
ened me so my nerves rebelled and

the long use of coffee had caused my

hands shook like the palsy.
AT first 1 did not like Postum but
I kept on drinking it and as we
learned how to make it right accord
mig to directions on pkg, 1 liked it as
well as coffee.
Occasionally l make coffee when
we have guests and give it to the
children too, but as soon as they taste
it they return their cups for Postum.
Now I go anywhere in the house day
or night and never think of anyone
grabbing me and the children can
