mishaps of every kind--which
are always costly. But Stats
tics contradict those who put
forth this specious argument.
Out of PTS trains run over
three divisions of the M. K. &
T. in a given time, investigation
shows that there were 119 acct
dents on trains carrying less
than 25 cars and only 70 acct
dents on trains carrying more
than 25 cars. On the Union
Pacific in Kansas in January,
1918, there were five accidents
on trains carrying less than 25
cars. During the same period
644 trains were run, all of them
carrying more than % cars,
without a single accident. So
the statistics of many other
roads could be given showing
c~onclusively that the Full
Grew" propaganda is based pure
ly upon sentiment rather than
facts-that the humanity plea
is being put forth to catch the
sympathy of the people in order
that they may give their OPP
proval to this unfair measure.
State Commission Has Power.
If any earthly excuse remains
for the proposed law, the last
vestige of it disappears from
the fact that the last Legisla-
ture created a Public Service
Commission which has specific
ally delegated to it the power to
regulate the number Of men to
be employed on any railroad
train in Missouri. This Com
mission could make it's require
ments of certain companies
whose road and character OF
freight might require more
trainmen than certain Other
roads which operate under en-.
/, tirely different conditions. II
other words, the Public Service
, Commission is in position tt

SUMMER CONSTIPATION
DANGEROUS

Constipation in summertime is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con.
taminated and is more likely to fer.
ment in your stomach. Then you are
apt to drink much cold water during
the hote weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine Pois-
oning and other ills are natural re-
suits. Po-Do-Lax will keep you we'll,
as it increases the Bile, the natural
laxative, which rids the bowels of the
congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-
Lax will make you feel better. Pleas

eye GLASSES SHOULD GO
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.
Here Is His Free Prescription.

MANY who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
THE following treatment is worthy
of fullest confidence. 1t is scientific,
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get tube OF DIPLOMA
tablets, dissolve one in two ounce
bottle of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What Is gen.
orally known as eye strain will soon
be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. 1t helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy:
it is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart or burn, has wonder
full effect on granulated lids and Is
especially recommended for dull,
bleary or CLASSY eyes. 1t helps all
eyes and should be in every home for
use in emergency"
