Records of Railroad Show
That p Persons Were
Killed in 1912.

Records now compiled show that if
on the Pennsylvania railroad in 1912,
nevertheless % passengers-falling off
trains, walking in front of trains at
stations and getting on and off of
moving trains-would have been kill
ed. The report was given out at the
Richmond offices of the company to-
day.
The fact is that 837,121 trains were
run for an aggregate distance Of 49,
100000 miles, carrying all told 100,-
100000 people, more than the popu-
lation of the United States-and two
trains suffered wrecks causing loss of
life.
Twelve passengers were killed by
falling from moving trains, three were
killed while attempting to board NOV
ing trains, and eight were struck by
trains while at stations. Accidents to
passengers" as officially designated
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, thus include deaths of many peo-
pie who are not on board trains.
OF the passengers injured in 1912,
321 were hurt getting on and off trains
Two hundred and fifty-five "passen-
gers were hurt in falling while on
railroad property other than trains.
All of these cases are officially record
ed as railway accidens." Due to
train accidents there were PIP passen-
gers injured, of which number 1855
were injured in the two wrecks men
toned.
Nearly five hundred million passen.
gers-one third of the population OF
the globe,-have been carried by the
Pennsylvania railroad in the past five
years, and sixteen of them lost their
lives in accidents to trains, nine hav
ing been killed in one accident. In
five years, only five trains out of over
100000 operated suffered wrecks
which caused the death of any of the
passengers carried on them.

Man Of Necessity is Made of Right

Some people are thrown off their
balance the moment anything goes
wrong with them. They do not seem

spite of annoyance.
Anybody can work when everything
goes smoothly, when there is nothing
to trouble him: but a man must be
made Of the right kind of stuff who
can rise above the things which an
noy, harass and handicap the weak.
and do his work In spite of them. In

HOW COCA COLA REFRssHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale OF Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advert1s-
ing" others to efficient management"
others. to it's delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that it was the first IN
the field of ''trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection. the opinion of Q
manufacturing chemist who has analyG-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years. will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
in large part to its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence of tannio
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of Dr. Hollin&
worth of Columbia University and of
DR.. H. c. Wood. Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages (coffee. tea,
Coca Cola. etc relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group OF beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use OF
the latter is followed by period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton. thus resulting in the formation Of
habit. ADV.
