EVERY Rail is INSPECTED
Southern Railway Has Inaugurated
Rigid System For Prevention Of
Accidents.

Washington.-Detai of the meth
DDS by which every rail in the South.
ern Railways 1905 miles of track is
annually subjected to the closest in
spection are given in the March issue
OF the Southern News Bulletin in an
art1e telling of the steps which the
southern has taken to prevent de-
ra1lments resulting from broken rails
The system OF inspection which was
adopted over two years ago is be-
Heved the most rigid and effective
possible. The work is under the di-
rection of the district engineers and
division roadmasters and is done by
the track Supervisors and section fore
men who closely scrutinize each and
every rail to detect the slightest dis
coverable tendency toward weakness
OF failure and wherever such are
found the rail is Immediately remov-
ed. Detailed reports are made on each
rail- left in the track so that compari-
son can be made at the next years
inspection.
The management of the Southern
Railway feels that this rigid inspec-
ton OF every rail over which it's traf-
nc moves embodies every possible
step toward the prevention of rail fail
ures, a feature Of railway operation to
which the officials of leading Ameri-
can railways have been giving the
closest study during the past few
years.

GENTLY ASSISTING NATURE

Those who find their breath bad in the morning, bad taste in the mouth, . coated tongue, a mean feeling in the head, will do we'll to try Pinklets, the new laxative.
 Constipation, which these symptoms denote, is dangerous because it means that poisonous materials which should have been expelled from the body are being retained. It is a condition which, If not corrected, becomes chronic.
 Even chronic constipation can be cor rected by care in the diet and persistent treatment with a gentle laxative.
 The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun. ately 90 common, gives temporary relief but in the end aggravatcs constipation. Pinklets are dainty, sugar-coated pills, hardly larger than mustard seed and they act gently, causing no nausea or gripping. They aid digestion and are . good after-dinner pill, especially when more food has been taken than the needs of the body require. They clear away the waste and prevent congestion. With q little persistence, which the result is well worth, they really correct chronic con- stipation.
 Your druggist sells Pinklets or they will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, p cents per bottle, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N, Y. Send today for booklet and free sample.

Less Meat if Back and Kid
 neys Hurt.
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if Bladder
 bOthers you.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other. says a well-known author ity. because the uric acid in meat ex- cites the kidneys. they become over worked: get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region: rheumatic twinges, severe headaches. acid stomach. constipation. torpid liver, sleeplessness. bladder and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts ar kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad- : der bothers you get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder disor- ders.
 lad Salts cannot injure any one; ma kes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

 ton Fame to Show Off Tomorrow.
 Battling Jim" Johnson, who boxes Sam Langford tomorrow evening at the Stadium A. c. in New York is confident that Langford will receive the same dose as Joe Jeannette did, if Jim lands one of his right hand smashes in old Sam's stomach.
 Jeannette was out, dead to the world, but got away with a foul claim that should never have been allowed. Jeannette, from that time, was afraid to mix with Jim. Thus a poor bout was the result.
 The aggressiveness of both Lang- ford and Johnson assures the fans that a lively session should be in store for them.
 Battling Jim" is the fellow who trained so faithfully at P. s. Me- Mahon's Kensington farm this spring and then had his fight with Lang ford postponed at the last moment.

CURSE OF DRINK.
Once Great Boxer Falls Victim to
 Alcoholism.

Middleboro, Mass, Aug. H. George La Blanche, ancient rival of Jack Dempsey, is a broken wreck of a man and spends most Of his time at the State Farm. The Marine, as he was called at the height of his fame as a middleweight boxer thirty-odd years ago, is a hopeless victim of liquor.
 we have had him here off and on for eight years,'' said the official in charge of the farm in answer to a question the other day. La Blanche has been committed many times for drunkenness during the past decade, and scarcely is released when he is back again. A sentence to the State Farm means a term of one year. The one time rival of Dempsey, the Non pareil, is gray haired and feeble.
 Tn the insane division of the same institution is Mike Doden, once a sparring partner of John L. Sullivan and a confrere of Paddy Ryan and Joe Goss.
 Steve O'Donnell, another old time boxer. is running little boxing school over a third rate saloon in the South End, Boston.

BASEBALL MAY BE
 HIT BY BIG WAR
Most Eorsehide Used in Balls Comes From Russia and May
 Be Stopped.

>.The Boston Commercial Bulletin lengthy war may stop the game of baseball It says:
 Most Americans appreciate that the ultimate effect on this country's busi- ness of the horrible conflict of the nations of Europe cannot but be bad. Few Americans, however, appreciate that it may have a serious effect on American sport.
 If commerce between Russia and the United States is suspended for any material length Of time, the ma tional game of baseball may be ma- terially affected. Every grade of baseball above the twenty five cent variety is covered with Russian horse hide. The Russian horse. having been exposed for thousands of years iff the open steppes to the fierce Rus sian winter, has developed a hide of extraordinary strength and tenacity.
 Leather made from this hide Is the only variety that will stand the ter rib1e srain required in the covering of baseball. Consequently, the prevention of exportation of Russian hides, strange as 1t may appear. if continued for any length of time, sAnight send up the price of baseballs to such a figure as seriously to ham, per the enjoyment of the American small boy, though not perhaps to check in any appreciable manner the richly financed professional game.

THE LONGEST HIT.
Matty Gives Safer Credit For Getting
 Mightfest Clout,

Give you my word on it," says Christy Mathewson, "the longest hit ever made off me was rapped by Victor Safer the other day in Chicago. Bakers home run was a baby-child compared to the smash that Safer delivered. Back of the right field fence at Cub park is a wildcat stand. Time and again the Cubs, to shut off those free stands, have raised and raised the fence till it towers to an enormous height straight up in the sky. But the wildcatters, starting on top of a three-story house to begin with, have always raised the manage ment one better, and now the outlaw stand looks like New York sky scraper. I give my word, just the same. that Saier's hit cleared that wildcat structure and disappeared be- yond it-not only the longest hit l ever suffered, but the highest that I ever saw! I took off my cap and shook Saier's hand as I told him what he'd done. Of course, it's tough for any pitcher to get whanged for one like that, but had to admire and ap- plaud the tremendous deed.'

Heat Is Quick t0
 Affect the k0WeAS
Well-Known Fact That Extreme Heat Conduces to Chronic Con-
 situation.

So many people are in the habit of eating cold food in hot weather that constipation is very common during summer. 1t is best to vary the food and have some hot things, as, for ex- ample, soups and hot fish and meats, if that is to be the diet. Iced water should be drunk sparingly.
 In spite of all care people will be- come constipated, and If you find yourself in that condition you can get immediate relief by the use of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. There is no time of the year when you should be more careful of constipation than in the summer, for many of the ser ious illnesses as well as the fatalities result from a clogging up of the bowels. You also need general good health to withstand the heat, and hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take because it contains tonic ingredients that help to build up the entire sys- tenn.
 Numerous users throughout the land will verify these facts, among them MT. George c. Allen, 4OS N. Main St., Reading, Mass, who re-. covered his health completely after using only two bottles; and Miss

Motoring Departmental have a car which began to miss fire on the mag neto. I stopped the engine, and in removing the plugs accidentally took the wires that lead from the magneto to the plugs off also. When I tried to replace them I could not remem Der how they were placed, and I suppose 1 must have put them in the wrong place, for I could not start the en- zine Several friends tried to help me without success. A call was sent to garage for a mechanic, and he coud not start the engine either. Af- ter towing the car to the garage q man employed there shifted the wires, and in few minutes the en- zine started and has run all right since.-H. C.
 It is evident you did not replace the wires according to their order of fir ing. A four-cylnder engine fires either i, 2, 4, 3, or 1, 3, 4, 2. Tn replac- ing the wires the order of firing must be remembered and if not proceed in the following way: Determine order of firing by turning motor over by hand and note the order in which in- let valves open and close. Remove the hard rubber plate, which covers the magneto distributor This is a device which distributes the high tension current to the plugs. Crank the motor over with the pet cocks open, until a distinct hiss is heard at No. 1~ pet cock. Crank motor slowly with your finger over this pet cock until the air pressure stops. This will indicate that the piston has reached top centre of compression, and this is the point where the spark ignites the gas. Then return to the magneto and note where the arm in the distributor casing is pointing and connect No. 1 spark plug wire to this contact. Crank the motor slowly for part of turn and note in which direction the arm moves. With the order of firing determined the wires can readily be attached in their re- spective order.
