Railroad News

Chicago, Dec. Railroad en-
ployes who post notices on bulletin
boards that trains will be on time
when they know they will be late
should be sent to Jail, according to NJ
L. Bell, attorney for the Rock Island
railroad. Mr.. Bell made the statement
before members of the Illinois rail-
road and warehouse commission.
Charges had been filed that the Rock
Island furnished wretched passenger
service between Chicago and Joliet
and that its time tables between these
points were more or less of a joke.
The chief complainant was Joseph n.
Mott, who represented a number Of
residents of Washington Heights.
Mr.. Mott was seconded in his charges
by A. T. H. Brewer of 1O4O Bryn
Mawr avenue.
Trains on the Rock Island at Joliet
are late almost every day." said Mr..
Brewer. "A notice is posted on the
bulletin board there that a certain
train is on time and patrons finds out
subsequently, that it is late.
ANY railroad employee who know
ingly posts such a misleading notice
ought to be put in the calaboose for
"a hours" replied Mr. Bell "Engin-
GERS who violate rules regarding the
passing Of trains at passenger stations
also ought to get jail sentences. That
is the most effective way to stop such
! practices. The Rock Island does not

Union Labor.

The following is of interest to union
meE of the tri-cities:
The Tri-City Automatic Home Tele-
phone company has embodied in its
franchise a clause guaranteeing to
employ union labor and give an eight
hour day. The company has also ex-
pressed its willingness to sign a closed
shop agreement and giving better
terms and wages than are in force in
any city where the Cetnral Union
Telephone company or Iowa Telephone
company are operating.
At the last minute a demand has
been made on the Automatic Tele-
phone company which is far in excess
CT what is demanded of the telephone
trust and the Automatic Telephone
company has decided it wouli rather
lose its franchise than to be driven
OFT of business by an unfair demand
on one side and a franchise compelling
low rates on the other side.-(Adver.

Peruna Critics Say
That There Was Nothing Wonderful
in the Recovery Of Mrs.
Eberlein
DR.. HARTMAN REPLIES.

OF course my narrative concerning
Mrs. Eberlein of Pittsburgh, who was
rescued from apparent death by Pc
ru-na, has excited a good deal of dis
cussion and comment. One critic has
offered the following solution. He
says that the reason Pe-ru-na cured
Mrs Eberlein at such a stage OF the
disease is explained as follows:
She was probably very weak. She
became unable to expectorate. The
consequence was huge accumulations
of mucus and phlegm gathered in the
lungs. On account of her weakness
she was unable to expel it. 1t was
SLOWLY strangling her to death.
Pe-ru-na stimulated her, enabled her
to cough up and spit out the accum-
ulated phlegm. This explains why she
was cured. There was no miracle
about it. Nothing wonderful either
To all of which l say, yes, of course
That may be the explanation. And
yet it remains true that without the
Pc ru-na she would have died It re-
mains true that / got there just ia time
TO save her life. The doctors had
given her up to die. She was gasp
ing for breath, unconscious, cold, in
short, dying. However, 1t is explained,
the Pe-ru-na saved her life. OF course
il did
7 do not believe in miracles myself
/ believe there is a natural explana-
ton for everything Pe-ru-na helped
Mrs. Eberlein to expel from her lungs
the accumulated expectoTation, and
thus saved her life. Good.
! presume Mrs Eberlein is just as
thankful that she is alive with one
explanation as with another, and l am
Just as thankful that | was able to
cnre her, whatever the explanation
may be.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE
This Is the Age In Which the
Voters Rule.

Voters: Read over the ordinance of
the Tri-City Automatic Telephone COM
pany, which has been published in the
daily papers. Vote for It IL it is fair
to the citizens of Rock Island The
ordinance was carefully criticized by
some of the public-spirited men of the
tri-cities before it was offered to the
voters. They realized that If there
were any flaws in the franchise or
anything unfair it would be turned
