methods. They do not scour. they do

constipation is responsible for most all

bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-

blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect TO have q clear

one OF the most serious problems Of

ana to obtain q better trained and
steadler class of labcrers efforts are
made to locate men with families on
each section. This requires housing
these laborers in a way not before at
tempted to any extent by the Santa F'e.
The few families that have been en-
ployed previously have constructed their
own dugOuts, or tie houses with mud
roofs, similar to those usually found
in New Mexico, but there is no erath
in Kansas which will turn water or
stand up ike the adobe in the arid
country, and it has been common af-
ter heavy rain for the occupants of
these dDt-roof houses to leave, the
railway thus losing it's section labor.
A very cheap but more substantial
house has therefore been planned, the
particular advantage CT which is that
all material is scrap or secondhand,

and the house built by the men them

spicuous places on the main line, and
on all branch lines material being
more readily secured, as either sawed
or hewn ties will suffice. Side walls
are formed by ties set on end Is inches
in the ground, with the cracks clinked
with mud or concrete made from rock
screenings. Where the cracks are wide
they are covered with scrap boards.
The partition IS built in the same way
as the outside walls. Old rails are used
for tie rafters fer the roof, over which
a layer of l inch sheeting and a inches
of concrete made from screenings and
reinforced with wire netting or second

length of inch sewer pipe is used for
