How Modern Railroads Pro-
vide for Safety of Pos
tai Clerks.

The avocation of clerk in the
railway mail service. only short
time ago considered precarious
because of the danger in case of
a wreck, is now position that
carries no greater hazard than
that incurred by a passenger,
where statistics recently compil-
ed show that a passenger on a
railroad may ride for 200 years at
60 miles an hour without being
killed. Particularly on the lines
of the Southern Pacific Company
is this statement true. On the
first day of July, this year, every
mail coach on the Southern Pa
cifc that was not of steel con
struction was taken out OF the
service and today the mail clerks
on.the Southern Pacific ride in
safety.
In the economy of rail road
management there are still a
number of wooden mail cars used,
but they are simply the survival
of the fttest, and will also soon
be retired. But whenever used
in connection with steel cars, they
are attached to the rear end Of
the train.
Prior to the introduction of the
steel mail cars the lives of the
mail clerks were constantly en-
dangered by being compelled to
ride in wooden cars, directly be-
hind the locomotive with many
hundreds of tons of heavy cars
behind them, that in case of a
wreck might have telescoped the
lighter mall cars, cruSneO Lnem
into kindling wood, and then fire.
quently apply fire brand to the
kindling, as has occurred at some
bad wrecks.
The Southern Pacific mail clerks
are more at ease since the change
has taken place. Now they are
safegaurded. Their cars are built
of armored steel. Over their
heads is a steel rod to which they
can cling at the first intimation
of a wreck and thus save them
selves from shock or at least
minimize it. The construction of
the cars is such that they can roll
over and over without danger of
collapsing or being telescoped,
nor can they burn.

Attack Like Tigers

In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers. But
often germs multiply so fast the
little fighters are overcome.
Then see pimples. boils eczema,
saltrheum and sores multiply and
strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bit
ters to regulate stomach, liver
and kidneys and to expel poisons
from the blood. ''They are the
best blood purifier" writes C. T.
Budahn, of Tracy, Calf, Il have
ever found" They make rich,
red blood, strong nerves and
build up your health. Try them.
