Santa Fe AboIishes FIau SIGNALS.

The signal flags, which almost from
the time that ~railroading became a
commercial factor in the world, have
fluttered from the sides of the rear
coaches of a train, to denote whether
il was a regular train. a special, a
second section, or an extra, have been
abolished by the Santa Fee railroad. In
their stead are employed the signal
lamps which are used at night, ex-
cept that they will be of such color
as to denote the class of the train and
will be unlighted during the day.
Doing away with signal flags during
the day will save to the railroad CON-
pany a great many thousand dollars
annually in the purchase of material
for them and in the making, as it re-
quires the best class of bunting to
keep them from soon being whipped
to ribbons in the wind.

Miss Thompson, whose form ma
ture has endowed with all-too-ample
curves, was giving her little nephew
a lesson in spelling the other day. He
had spelt be, be. and he, he, and
now she was trying to get him to tell
her what me, spelt.
Listen, Bobby" she said earnest
~. Then closing her lips she pro-
nounced the sound of a long m, and
opening them. the sound of a long e.
What does that spell?"
Bobby looked at her and shook his
head. Again she tried, and this time.
while pronouncing the sounds, she
vigorously tapped her own rotund
chest with her plump forefinger.
"Mmum, ee. What letters am I say
ing and what do they spell?" she
asked, still vigorously tapping her
chest.

forefinger, but | guess they spell

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way 20 Get Rid Of Them. and
Occasion Was Made a Good
Object Leseson.

A r~amshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest OF the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be PROPERLY fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour Of destruction were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit, etc, here have died of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means Of dsin-
fecting is by fire"
At the appointed hour. while null
lions Of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed TO the crowd looking on.

Railroads Guide Airmen.

A peculiar feature of the progress Of
aviation in the United States develop
ed during the last few months in the
more or less absolute dependence OF
the airmen essaying transcontinental
fights on the railroads. This refers
not alone to the necessary transpor-
tation of supplies and spare parts
from place to place, but to the useful
ness Of the tracks as guides to the
men in the air. The value of follow
ing the railroad tracks to get proper
direction Of flight was apparent at the
start OF the great cOast-to-coast con-
test early in September. when one of
the starters selected the wrong line of
trackage and was led a hundred or
more miles out Of the direct line he
had laid out for himself. The useful
ess of the locomotive as a night pilot
to illuminate the way with its head
light. was developed by Airman C.
P. Rodgers, when he essayed to COM
plete a days journey at Hammond.

The train. a local freight. was guard
ed by two lone brakemen. They
obeyed orders which forbids them to
leave a train standing on the main
line. The other members of the crew
walked to Laird the day of the freeze.
The passengers included two men and
two women, all Russians.
The two trainmen did not suffer
any. however. They spent their time
rabbit hunting and had jackrabbit
steaks for breakfast. jackrabbit stew
for dinner and roast jackrabbit for
supper. Since the snow rabbits can

There was a car of coal on the ice

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
it kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment. gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when z
friend told me about Cuticura. | sent
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to I'M
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well, and never
had any breaking out of AIRY kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
