Cured In Two Weeks.

Feb. IT. 190s.-Dr ]. Lawrence
Hill, Jackson, Mich.-Dear Sir:-I
feel it my duty to write to you as to
the condition of my health when I
commenced taking your treatment for
consumption. I was IN a very bad
shape. I had tried doctors and all the
medicines that thought would help
me, but all these did me no good.
Then decided to try you. After using
your treatment a few days I began
to improve, and after using your treat
ment two months I am about we'll.
Thanking you for what you have
done for me, and wishing you long life
that you may do good to others, re-
main yours as ever, ]. A. Blythe, Dade-
vile, Ala, R. F. D. No, 3, Box No. 80.
N. B.-You can use this if you wish
or see fit at any time.

REMODEL OLD BOX CARS.
Santa Fe Collecting 500 Relics for
Chicago Shops.

Santa Fe Collecting 500 Relics for
Chicago Shops.
Chicago, Sept 16.-The Santa Fe
has lately undertaken the task of col
lecting in the neighborhood of 500 of
the early styles of box and coal cars
which are to be sent to Chicago to be
remodeled.
These cars are scattered all over the
United States, both on the Santa Fe
and foreign lines, and the task of To-
eating them and securing shipments
routed in the vicinity of Chicago will
require weeks. The car accountants
on the three grand divisions, the Coast
lines, the A., T. & 8. F. proper, and
the Gulf lines, have records showing
the movement of every car which has
been handled on their respective lines
but the records are in many cases
week behind and before cars, which
are wanted, can be caught they have,
in many cases, been unloaded and
again started.
A large number of the cars have al
ready been located on this division and
are being loaded and consigned to
estern points for ultimate delivery at
Chicago where they are to be turned
over to the shops for extensive repairs.
A number of cars are also desired
for exclusive service on the Belen cut
off and are being located and forward
ed to that point.

1T is fair to say, however, that the
average mileage performance of our 10
comotives is below that given by tnt
standards. The difference in miles ge
on the various sections of the line is
due to the difference in grades, wafer
conditions, schedules Of trains, time of
arrival and departure and so forth.
The wide variation in mileage OBJ
tanned from engines of the same type in
the same kind of service on the same

which will result beneficialIy both to

because their earning power increases
