SURVEYS
For the Baltimore and Ohio
Cutoff in This Section
Completed.

Surveys have been completed for
the new cut-off line which the bal
timore and Ohio railroad will build
to establish new connection be-
tween the Wheeling division and the
Mcnongahela line of the MonongahI
division, facilitating the movement
Of through traffic and the handling
of coal from the extensive coal fields
on that section of the system. The
new line will be known as the Mo
';nongah cutoff. 1t will be built from
Kingmont on the Wheeling division
to CASTOR junction, on the Monon-
gahela line. a distance of three
miles. The cut OF will shorten the
distance by five miles in handling
through traffic and effect an economy
in operating costs as it will avoid
three grades where helper engines
are required and save the handling
of a large amount of through traffic
in the Fairmont yards.
+ Upon completion of the inn
provement eastbound trains will be
run over the cut-off and into Grafton
for classification, instead of taking
the trains into Fairmont, where ex-
ira handling is required. The cut OF
will also afford a new route for
through business between the East
and the West. thus reducing the vol
,ume OF traffic on the wheeling di-
vision.
1t is expected that the contract for
the new line. which will include
bridge about 800 feet long, will be
let in the near future. The inn
proyement was decided upon while
the Baltimore ana Ohio officials were
on general inspection trip over the.
system several weeks ago.

Please Let Us Keep fhe Children

No one knows where this sanitation
craze will stop. According to the latest
rules, if you want to be healthy you
must rid your house of the family cat.
the family dog, then comes the rat, the
flea, the fly, ants and all creeping and
crawling things that are now said to
carry disease and germs.
You must also discard portieres,
curtains, bric-a-brac, upholstered
furniture, carpets and any rubbish you
may be keeping for old sake. If you
keep any pictures they must be in very
plain frames, all wall ornamentations
that afford lodging place for dust must
be thrown away. You must never
sweep with broom or shake a duster
in the house or leave your books
or keep your food in the
cellar, and other things too numerous
to mention.
