The Secret OF Success
Genuine Merit Required 10 Win the
Peoples Cont dence.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why 1t is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgoc-
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promise of the man
ufacturer. This applies more partic-
ularly to medicine. A medicinal pre-
paration that has real curative value
almost sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy Is recon-
mended by those who have been cured
to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says: Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, preparation have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for In almost every case 1t
shows immediate results, as many of
my customers testify. No other kidney
remedy that know of has so large
sale.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

In Session at Muscatne With Cover.
nor Carroll Branded as
Coward.


MUSCATINE, June 12.-Echoes OF
the strike of the button workers were
heard at the opening session of the
Iowa State Federation of Labor con-
yention here, when the addresses of
welcome we're delivered by those
who were prominent in the protracted
struggle of the Muscatine button
workers. Governor B. F. Carroll was
termed coward by Emmett Flood of
Chicago, the national organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, be-
cause of the failure of the state execu-
tive to defend the provisions of the
workers agreement, the courts were
assailed and the local police authori-
ties scored for their antagonism
Mayor Koehler, who welcomed the
delegates was also scored by Mr..
Flood.
The work of two state commissions
was referred to in President Trick s
report, the commission on employers
Legislation and the prison probe com

commission and praised the report of

BAD EFFECT OF SUNDAY TRIPS.
Roads Discontinue Excur-
sions on sabbath.

Lincoln, Neb... June 1.-The Bur-
lington discountenanced and frowned
upon the Sunday excursions over the
Nebraska and western ines some
ago. General Manager Holdrege has
always opposed them, and consequent
ly they have not been run for years.
other roads have permitted them inc
have run them into the state and into
Iowa. But there will be no more of
them.
The reads centering at Chicago and
st. Louis placed the ban upon Sunday
excursions several weeks ago, and now
the Nebraska roads have followed suit.
Railroad contend there is
money il Sunday excursions. but that
the precedent set is a bad one. Excur-
sionists leave the starting point ODE
but upon their return a large humble
of them come back hilarious Another
reason for the abandonment, say rail-
road mA;5nates, is that the present idea
of good ~railroading is to give en-
ployees as much time for rest and
recreation as possible. A Sunday ex-
cursion meant ths entire day for a
train crew, returning home tired out
and not fit to work on the following
day.

New Plan to Decrease Cost of
Operation on Union Pacific.
Dead Weight of Box Cars Re.
duced to Lowest Point.
SAVING OF $40 A YEAR
Each Car Contributes to Sue
cess of Economy Idea.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

The Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific railway systems have sought to
lessen the cost of transportation by
reducing the lowest point, consistent
with strength. the dead weight of their
standard types of boxcars. While the
weight of rolling stock has always been
an item of vital interest," to railway
officials generally, and whfle they com-
monty acknowledge ana respect the
axiom that the car capabte of success
fully handling the heaviest load per ton
of tare weight is the greatest revenue
Garner, their efforts toward a consist
ent design of such a car seem never
to have been exclusively applied, is
the way the Railway Review puts it.
The demand for high capacity equip
ment has been so urgent during the
past ten years., and there still remains
such a diversity of opinion as to what
constitutes accepted design, thai it is
not much to be wondered at that MAIN
tenance costs are enormously high and
that the really efficient car is being
but slowly evolved. 1t is natural that
IN designing new and heavy equipment,
the effort should be to provide a high
factor of safety to offset as much as
possible the likelihood of failure in new
and untried arrangements. That this
has frequently resulted in a wide mar
gin of excess weight and that, often
times without yielding either the safe
ty Or the durability features accounts
for a considerable proportion of the re-
pair costs and helps to explain the low
degree of efficiency.
The roads referred to are the pio-
neers in a thorough analysis of the
costs of hauling excess weight over and
above fixed charges. Based on the con-
governing their operations,
these charges amount to some 10 or II
dollars per annum for each ton dead
weight of cars and lading handled. By
scaling down the weights of
their successive designs of boxcars they
arrived at a design which APP
pears to be $40 a yea cheaper to OPP
crate than was the original 50-ton box
car designed and adopted as standard
on these lines.
The weight of the first car is given as
a, 200 pounds, which is not excessive,
even for cars of the most recent design
of the same type and capacity. Having
demonstrated the possibility of saving |
this o in the cost of hauling |
alone with their own cars, the advant-
that might be possessed through
extensive application of this idea over
other roads on which the same general
prevail but or which atten-
ton has not been given to eliminating
superf1uous weight in rolling stock, is
and impressive.
