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.

Use of Telephone in Train
Service

service
The work of train dispatching,
one of the most eXactlng in the
whole field of railroad manage
ment, is to be made much easier
for the dispatchers of the South
ern Pacific Company. On several
entire divisions and on parts of
other divisions the work has al
ready been lightened to a great
extent. The strains that the
dispatchers usually work under
is being and will be alleviated by
the use of the telephone for train
dispatching.
The old method of using the
telegraph key for all dispatching
has been found too slow. Where
it formerly required a consider
able time to transmit train orders
by telegraph, a comparatively
short time is now required. By
a system of repeating all messa-
ges and writing them down as
they are sent and delivered, the
operator and dispatcher are able
to keep even a more complete re-
cord of all that transpires than
if using the telegraph. Practical
ly the only difference between
the two systems is that the tele-
phone urges direct conversation
and the telegraph only written
words transmitted by the compa-
ratively slow Morse alphabet.
With the telephone the dispatch
er gets in closer personal touch
with every man on the road
through the use of that instru-
ment than he ever was able to do
with the telegraph.
At the present time telephone
dispatching is in operation bet
ween Salinas and Santa Barbara
on the Coast Division of the South
ern Pacific lines; over the entire
Shasta division; on the Sunset,
the Sunset and Western and
the McKittrick branches, and
will soon be installed between
Sacramento and Sparks. Ex-
changes are being established and
any operator on the line need on
ly take down his receiver and
pronounce the name of his sta
tion to secure the immediate at
tention Of the dispatcher. The
dispatcher has full control over
the line, and no operator is allow
ed to call up another station. The
dispatcher will do the calling for
him if business requires it. 1t is
only a question of time until the
telegraph will serve only as an
emergency service on the South
ern Pacific lines. Another advant-
age of the telephone system is
the simplicity, it being possible
for any member of a train crew
to tap a telephone line and tell
of a train wreck, while it requires
an expert to tap a telegraph line.

COFFEYvILLE's WATER GONE.
Physicians say City VIII Become Hot
bed OF Typhoid

Coffeyville, Kan. July Failure of
the city authorities and the Chamber
of Commerce to relieve the water short
age has caused a panic among the resi-
dents Of this city and scores of persons
are leaving for other points to remain
until the dry season has passed.
The Verdigris, from which the city
obtains its water supply. has gone dry,
and the reserve reservoir has but one
half foot of water in it. The supply
will be exhausted in a very few hours.
Physicians here declare that unless
relief is given in a few days the city
will become a hotbed Of typhoid and
other virulent diseases.
The city officials have prohibited The
use of water between the hours Of mid
night and 6 o'clock, partially to con-
serve the supply and so there may be
sufficient pressure to fight any fires
that break out. Use of water other
than for cooking and drinking purposes
has been forbidden. Every factory in
the city has closed down.
The manufacture of ice will be stop
ped.

Fort Scott, Kan. July 7.-Ordinarily
Fort Scott uses less than 90 tons Of ice
per day. but now the demand has risen
and so tons must be produced to satisfy
the public. From the difference grows
an ice famine that has grasped Fort
Scott and probably will hold on until
the present warm weather is a page in
history. Many of the patrons CT the
two local companies can not get their
ice even for the purpose of cooling
drinking water until and 6 O'Clock in
the evening. Relief from surrounding
towns is impossible, as they are SINH
larly situated. Adding insult to injury,
it is stated that the storage supply,
which is made during the winter and
held for summer, is rapidly diminishing
and soon will be exhausted.
