ious wreck at that point this morning
and II. II. Hurd, a brakeman, living
at No. 703 East Ninth stret, had a
narrow escape from death
Two freight cars left the rails and
one of them, containing nineteen tons of
merchandise consigned TO the Joseph
Bancroft and Sons Company, plunged
down an embankment and fell into
the sluiceway which allows overflow
water from the Lea race to return to
the Brandywine creek. The second car
remained on the track but was badly
damaged. The front truck was turned
completely around and one end OF the
car hung over the little bridge cross
ing the sluiceway.
y While the two cars were being push
q across Market street by the engine,
akeman Hurd was standing on the
A. car the -6ne which went down
the embankment. When the car left the
rails he gestulated wildly to the en-
giner to stop his engine. The cars
were moving rapidly, however, and in
a few moments the car ne was stand
ing on, reached the brink of the em-
.bankment Hurd could save himself
from injury only by jumping and this
he did alighting safely. In another in
stant the car went over the bank.
The wrecking crew was on the scene
two hours later. and the crew began

PEARY AND THE PRICE
 OF FOOD Important Discovery Made By Arctic Explorers in Their Search For the
 Pole.

If the present agitation over the cost of living accomplishes no other result, if should fix on the public mind the fact that the most eXpen- sive food in the world is the food that doesn't make good'-that doesn't digest that doesn't refresh that doesn't give you the sweet sleep that belongs to the night time. and that up and doing" feeling that belongs to the day
 one of the valuable discoveries the Arctic explorers in their l50 years struggle for the pole have made. is the science Of eating. Only with proper fuel under the boiler can the human machine endure the hardships and physical effort involved in such gi- Santic undertakings.
 No explorations of this kind has been undertaken in the last fifteen years without a supply of HoTlick's Matted Milk. either in powder form, from which q delicious nOurishing food drink can he made in moal nt by stirring in water or in the Lunch Tablet form. which proved most serv- iceabIe on the sledgins trips. since a few tablets can be dissolved in the mouth at intervals. and were found to be very efficient in relieving hun ger and fatigue HorIick's Matted Milk containers mark the route to the Pole and return: not only with Poary, but with Baldwin-Ziegler. the Anglo American. the Wellman and other eX- peditions
