RAILROADS APPEAL

lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs,

The committee of railroad execu.

representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
iiculties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail
road credits and recognizing an emer-
genoy which requires that the rail
roo is be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression Of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
Of c. dts at home and abroad. With

crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
contlagration when the flames meet

islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex.
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum Of the railroad
presidents to the public, character.
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con.
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
Of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
l am glad to do so because | think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly q
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper.
ate.
There are many important prob.
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is factor that can.
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter.
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.

There are good reasons aside

Join in the advice. The feeding

Nobody seems to know just
what there is which occasionally

deadly poison to cattle. But we
do know that If the stalks are
cut at the proper time for max

from the field the danger is
avoided.
Stalks fed in the barnyard are
safe and better than stalks fed in
the field because they are cut
when all the feeding value Is in
them, or should be. Stalks shred
ded and fed in the barn or yard
are better yet because the stalks
themselves will be eaten. Stalks
made into silage at the proper

IF KIDNEYS ACT

Been Eating Too Much Meat
Which Forms Uric
Acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
tody's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your phar-
niacist about four onces Of Jad Salts;

CLING TO GoATsKIN BOTTLES
Water Carriers of the Orient Use Re
oeptacles Of Same Nature as
Mentioned In the Bible.

The travellers In the cities OF the
Orient are always very much interest
ed in the picturesque water car
riers who make their rounds carry
ing on their backs water bottles In
the shape of goatskins, from which
the vessels OF the watercarriers' pa
irons are filled from time to time.
These skin bottles generally ema.
nate from the city of Hebron, in Pal
estine, where there is watercarriers'
market, where these things are sold
in large numbers and find their way
to all parts of the Orient. Lying upon
the ground in rows may be seen two
and three hundred goatskins awaiting
purchasers. Each skin is inflated,
either with water or air, so that the
buyer may know that 1t is perfectly
watertight
The majority of the skins used come
from Arabia, while a large number
are also received from the Lebanons.
They are brought to Hebron by the
camel caravans, and are purchased by
.he proprietors of the tanneries and
turned into bottles. They pass
through many processes, and a tanner
will spend week upon single skin
before it is rendered watertight and
serviceable.
From Hebron these odd bottles
are sent to all parts of the East, thou
sands going down into Egypt and the
Sudan every year.

TODAY'S HEALTHOGRAM

Intemperance in eating kills more
people probably than intemperance in
drinking. Too much meat and other
heterogeneous material, an excess of
highly seasoned food, with too little
out-of-door exercise and a faulty
elimination of wastes will inevitably
produce an overloaded, self-poison-
ing stomach, bowels and circulation.
And this breeds many ills. 1t is hostile
to health and life.

STOCK YARDS CLOSED DOWN
BY THE GOVERNMENT.

BY THE GOVERNMENT.
The Union Stock Yards were prac-
tically put out of business today. u l)e
government placed Chicago's Pack
ingtown in quarantine and at the
time put the E. st. Louis stock yards
out of commission:
Orders were issued to the railroads
not to load cattle for the Chicago and
St. Louis yards. Saturday an order
was given not to ship feeder and
breeder" live stock.
Today DR.. E. S. Bennett of the De-
partment of Agriculture ordered an
inspection and disinfection of every
carload of cattle coming into the
stock yards. He cautioned the rail-
roads against sending more diseased
animals into the city.
The cause of the embargo is the
dreaded foot and mouth" disease
which has been raging among the
cattle in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan.
The disease, which is often fatal
to cattle, sheep and hogs, causes
sores in the mouths and feet of the
animals affected. Fever and soreness,
with loss of appetite, results and
the affected creature dies of starVa-
ton.
