What Railroads Do.

We fail to realize the tremendous
factor the railroads are in the pur-
chasing world. Think, for instance. Of
the hundreds of millions spent by the
Pennsylvania railroad and the New
York Central for their new terminals
in New York city alone. Think of the
excellent wages paid to the skilled
labor employed directly on the rail-
roads, like locomotive engineers, and
of the high-class clerical work of the
passenger and freight departments
Think for moment that every supply
furnished to the railroads must be of
the finest quality-the rails, the
springs, the upholstery, the woodwork
and all the f1xtures-for nothing COM
monplace or ordinary can be used.
Quality is the first requirement, for
it means, so far as equipment is con-
cerned, not only safety, but comfort
and elegance.

MADE A HIT WITH GARRETT
Railroad President Quick to Recognize
Worth of Man Who Could
"Do Things"

Gen. Greenville M. Dodge, president
OF the Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee, was talking one Memorial day
in Council Bluffs about railroading
'The best piece of railroad work
ever heard Of" he said, was per-
formed in 1854 in Maryland The Con-
federates were in great need Of a
locomotive, and their only hope was
to capture one. So small band Of
and placed under the command of a
tall Georgian who had been foreman
of a quarry and knew a good deal
about derricks and rigging.
We'll, the Georgian took his men
into Maryland, they tore up section
of the Baltimore 6 Ohio tracks, flag
ged the first train, and with nothing
but ropes dragged a locomotive 81
miles up hills, across streams, through
woods and swamps, till they struck a
line built by the Confederacy.
when the president of the Balti-
more & Ohio heard of this feat he
wouldn't believe it. He went out and
personally inspected the route, and
he said on his return that it was the
most wonderful piece of engineering
that had even been accomplished. Aft
er the war he sent for the tall Geors-
ian, and on the strength of that one
exploit made him roadmaster of the
whole Baltimore & Ohio.

Dutch Railroads.

In contrast with the history of Bel
GUM, Germany, France and Austria
Holland alone Of all European coun.
tries presents a situation where the
railroads require protection from the
competition of the canals.
Holland thus reverses the general
rules which apply in other countries.
Railroad development was remarkably
slow in Holland. The first Dutch rail
roads were short local lines while
the waterway system was extensive
and strongly entrenched.
At length, convinced that she could
not keep pace with other European
countries by her waterway system
alone, The Dutch government con-
structed an ambitious line of railroads
connecting with the international lines
Of Europe
The railroads were built not with
any expectation that they would be
profitable as investments, but be-
cause they were considered absolute.
ly necessary to save the country from
industrial decadence. Holland is the
only country in the world in which
the state has provided both rail and
water highways substantially free of
capital charge. The railroads are
now operating at a loss to supple
ment the waterways, which carry 80
per cent. of the traffic of Holland :

members of employees families have
busted themselves posting up on rail-
road duties beyond the everyday small
duties which come to them, the COM
pany declares that the experiment has
been unusually successful.
In operating a great railroad sys-
TEN, man himself may be the most
wasteful and destructive of all agents
employed. Among the thousands of
employees necessary to conducting
the business of the road that human
lost motion" is a waste far in ex-
cess of that which attaches to the
mechanical equipment of the system.
A locomotive properly fired becomes
automatically motive unit of first
class-provided it Is a first class ma
chine and is kept up to concert pitch.
But the moment a sloven fireman be-
gins to glut the furnace with smoking
coal this lost motion in the man with
the scoop is reflected in the huge loco
motive, laming it to a degree.
In the operation of this school at
Omaha headquarters heads of depart
likely material and putting these
workers in touch with the school. A
typical case for promotion is that of
the freight trainmaster who rose to
that position from brakeman.
A substitute was put in his place
when it was decided to give him a
chance to gain further experience that
would be of value to him further
along He was first put in an extra
track gang on the Utah division as
laborer and then as an assistant fore
man, and kept there for three months.
In connection with this practical work
he received instruction on mainten-
ance of way from the educational bu-
reau.
His next three months were spent in
one of the shops with an erecting
gang, taking down, setting up, and
breaking in locomotives. Then he
went into the store department to get
a knowledge of material and supplies.
Next he was placed in the Office of
the auditor Of passenger accounts to
study the reports of conductors and
agents as they came in and to get an
inside knowledge of the errors they
make and the corrections that are nee
esSary.
From there he went into the freight
auditors Office and thence into the Of
fee Of the auditor of equipment ac-
counts. When his year of study was
over he went hack tn his former ioh
of trainmaster. Now he is ready to
step into the position of assistant SUI
perintendent at a moments notice.
This, in brief, represents the school
system in every department. Any
man showing that he has the stuff in
him for the making of more useful
employee has the school called to his
attention. The rest remains with
him.

Railroad Standards.

To the list of the needs of human
kind has recently been added the
standardization of railway equipment
In all sections of the country, and in
all branches of industry, the neces-
sity for general standard of equip
ment is keenly felt. The railroads
themselves have recognized this in
laying their track so that the cars be-
longing to one company can safely be
carried on the rails of another. But
the matter of making the cars them
selves conform to a uniform system
has not made the headway it deserves.

R0PEWAY USED AS ADJUNCT
Experts in Dutch Colonial Office De.
wise Scheme That Is Said to Work
to Perfection.

The Dutch colonial office has made
ise of an aerial ropeway as an ad-
junct to a regular railroad line in
Dutch Guiana, with favorable results.
On the line running from Paramari-
bo, in Dutch Guiana, which is in
tended for use in opening out the rich
gold fields of the interior, as we'll as
for the conveyance of timber and ban
anas, it was found necessary to bridge
over the River Surinam, which has a
width of nearly 1000 feet. The goods
and passenger traffic was, however,
not sufficient to justify the erection
of permanent bridge, and it was
thought that the adoption of cable
way would prove a very satisfactory
substitute
The transference of the goods is
carried out in the simplest manner, as
the galloway carries the loads not
only horizontally, as is the case on
an ordinary wire ropeway. but is also
capable OF lowering or raising the
same at any desired point The goods
can therefore be taken from the track
of train on one bank, and set down
in train waiting on the opposite
bank
The galloway crosses the river with
one single free span of just over
1000 feet, and as it has a carrying
capacity Of six and one-half tons, is
capable of transferring from the one
bank to the other even complete To-
comotive bogies. 1t is now made use
of not only for the conveyance of
goods of all descriptions, but also for
passenger traffic. The main cables
are protected from accidental over
loading by means of an automatic ad.
justing apparatus.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d q
Jefferson Sts Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
l had my way 1 would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves: Ihey
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impover1sn
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
