WIDENING MAIL CAR DOORS.
Railroad Officials Say Parcel Post
Involves Expenses.

A Baltimore and Ohio official says
the growth Of the parcel post service
is compelling the railroads to assume
an additional expense in widening the
side doors of cars in which such ship
ments are handled. The widening Of
the doors of mail cars has become
necessary in order to avoid delays to
trains in loading large packages.
The railroads contend that the ex-
pense incident TO this change in the
design of equipment will total a large
sum, for the expenditure of which
they will receive no additional rev
enue.

LOSS OF APPETITE
IN THE SPRING

Loss Of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, vigor or tone, which
Is more serious loss. IL is common
in the spring because at this time the
blood is impure and impoverished and
fails to give the digestive organs what
they need for the proper performance OF
their functions.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar.
saparilla. lt makes the rich red blood

simply a spring medicine-but it is the

Josie had looked up the correspon-

had found TO Wallace.
He looked at them, frowned, shook
his head and bit his lip, very much
astonished, very much annoyed It's

TO admit. But before he had a chance
TO read the letters, Sam came in,
tramping like a little elephant, threw

Then Pembroke entered, trailed by

Bob himself knew this to have been
a fine flight He pointed with a ges-

did the best he could 10 meet the stu

have broken Pembroke's gravity had
he been less absorbed and incensed.

Broadway was as proud of Wallace
as lie had been of himself. What do

startled Pembroke.
Pembroke smiled. He had a well

both for himself and for his company.
