To Facilitate Shipments
New instructions which will
increase the work of station
agents and division superinten-
dents and hold the operating
department strictly responsible
for delays in the forwarding of
merchandise shipments were
received yesterday at the local
Offices of the Northwestern and
Omaha railroads.
Hereafter each agent will be
supplied with a book Of sched-
ules which will show exactly
how long it should take a ship
ment from any town on the
Northwestern lines to reach
his station. This is accomplish
ed by convenient tables which
give time of departure, train
number, time of arrival and
number of days in transit be-
tween every station on the sys-
TEN and the important junction
points. The instructions say:
If merchandise does not ar
rive in time to effect delivery
on the schedule date agents
will report the fact to their sup
erintendent. II the delay does
not occur on a local division the
superintendent will take the
matter up with the generals sup
erintendent for investigation
and remedy. This places re-
sponsibility for maintaining
the schedule time on merchan-
disc on the agent at destination
as it will be considered, if no
complaints are made, that the
service is satisfactory. Super
intendent will make weekly re-
ports Of all failures to maintain
schedule.
The new rules promise to
greatly improve the service Of
the road in delivering merchan-
disc, which in railroads parlance
means package freight. Here
tofore the agent at destination
has been in the dark as to just
when a consignment was due,
particularly if the freight was
shipped from a station on a
distant division. Now his lit
1 tile black book will tell him at q
glance, and a days delay means
a report to the division super
intendent and a reason why
from the operating department.

HOW is YOUR STOMACH?
Easy Way to Strengthen 1t and Get
Well.

A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know that you
have stomach, is Gods birthright to
every man-to every woman.
If digestion is weak, if food turns
into gas, if you suffer after eating, if
yau are sleepless, nervous and out of
sorts-then the stomach is diseased
and prompt action should be taken.
w. a. Ennis, well known builder
in Syracuse, tells an easy way to
strengthen the stomach and get well
when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets have done more for me in one
week than all the doctors the two
years I was under their care Thanks
to Mona, can work once more, the
