English Railroads Not Safer.

julius Kruttschnitt contradicts the
statement that British railroad lines
are operated more safely than rail-
roads in this country He says false
conceptions to the contrary arise from
the fact that British roads operate
only $4,000 miles, while roads in this
country operate 100000 miles. In
the last three years and ten months
no passenger has been killed through
collisions or derailments on the
Southern Pacific, and during that time
the road carried 150,400,000 passen-
gers an average distance of AZ miles.
In the last three years and four
months but one passenger has been
killed on the Union Pacific out of
27900,000 carried by that line. In
1911 IA passengers were killed in col
lisions on railroads in the United
Kingdom. The Hartman roads have
nearly as many miles of track as
those of the United Kingdom.

SALLOW FACES
often Caused by Tea and Coffee
Drinking.

How many persons realize that tea
and coffee so disturb digestion that
they produce a muddy, yellow COM
plexion?
A ten days trial Of Postum has
proven a means, in thousands of cases,
of clearing up bad complexion.
A Washn. young lady tells her ex-
perience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister and
brother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally We all had
stomach troubles, more or less.
1--WE all were sallow and troubled
with pimples, bad breath, disagreeable
taste in the mouth, and all Of us simply
so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that tea and cof-
fee caused the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to bor-
row some from neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that
Although we started to make 1t,
we all felt sure that we would be sick
If we missed our strong coffee, but We
tried Postum and were surprised to
find it delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the pkg,
got more and in month and half
you wouldn't have known us. We all
were able to digest our food without
any trouble, each ones skin became
clear, tongues cleared off, and nerves
in fine condition. We never use any
thing now but Postum. There is moth

the one with the most platforms and
passengers? No single station is first
In all these requirements.
The New York city station-certain-
ly now one of the grandest and most
extensive railroad stations in the
world-covers an area Of % acres.
After this comes the Care st. Lazare,
in Paris, with an acreage of over 20
acres; then the Waverley station, Ed
inburgh, with % acres; followed by
Waterloo, London, with 20k acres;
Euston, London, with Is acres, and
Liverpool street, London, with 16
acres But there Is a railroad station
immensely bigger in extent than any
of these, and there is the Souht Rail
road station, Vienna, the whole of
which area is close upon 100 acres!
This makes 1t easily the largest sta
view of space covered. Much of the
land included in this area is not en-
ployed, however, as railroads use all
their land at English and American
stations.
The New York city station is the
costliest ever built; $20,000,000 was
expended upon it, and, including asso-
ciated work, the total cost of the
scheme has exceeded 500, 100000. Dur
ing the first year of working 10000, 900
passengers used 1t, 10000 trains
were worked in and out, 1929, 1920 tick
cts were issued and 100000 trunks,
parcels, ETC., were handled. It's mag
nificent facade is one of the finest of
its kind in the world.
When complete, the new Leipzig sta
ton will be far above the average in
respect of size and beauty of German
architecture in railway buildings. The
magnificent central hall, with its six
enormous bays, splendid ticket Offices,
and superb waiting rooms, will be just
about the last word" in each par
ticular sphere.
AS regards the number of platforms
at various railroad termini, the new
Waterloo station Of the London and
South Western, stands at the top,
with 49, which will shortly become %
when the alterations now going on are
finished Then we have Liverpool
street, London, and Waverley station
Edinburgh, with Is platforms; Man.
chester (Victoria) II; Euston. 16;
New castle (CentraD, Is; Glasgow
(CentraD, 49, Glasgow Est. Enoch)
IL; Victoria, 9-1S. Probably next
would come Washington station, in
the United States, which can boast OF
937 ,920 square feet of platform accom-
mediation, some of its platforms being
extremely long. Cologne follows with
IA platforms, and Canada is next,
with its Canadian Pacific Windsor
Street station in Montreal, possessing
2 platforms.

"I'll tell you what am going to do"
vowed the over-groomed youth who
had been filled with socialistic theory.
"I'm going to earn by the work Of my

So he went to the butcher-but the

even wrap up meat.
And he went to the baker-and the
baker quickly discharged him because
he was incompetent.
And he went to the carpenter-and
the carpenter threw him off the job
because he could not drive a nail.
Then he went to the printer-and
the printer bounced him because he
pied form.
Next he tried the store-and the
floor-walker told him to quit because
he couldn't find the stock.
Then he tried driving cab-and a
policeman sent him to the barns as a
danger to traffic.
Then he went to the brick layer
and gave it up because he couldn't lift
the bod.
So he went from place to place, get.
ting hungrier and hungrier, and at
last applied for a position as waiter
in the hotel where he wanted to eat
But the head waiter would have none
of him because he couldn't remember
what was ordered
ooh, WELL" he sighed. "a working
man has no chance in this country"
So he wrote check and got the

they were both crack shots, and the

regiment of men who knew how to
ride and how to shoot-plainsme and
