ago. Everything is higher than it was
then and has been increasing gradu-
ally from year to year, the increase
ranging in the past 10 years from 10
to 60 per cent for the materials in
regular use, while for a few things we
have to pay three times as much as
we did 10 years ago. While the busi-
ness Of the system has been gradually
growing, the increased revenue has
nothing like made up for the defcien-
cy resulting from the increased cost
of materials, to say nothing about
other added expenses which had to be
taken into account. Il has been a mat
ter of deep concern and regret that it
was not possible to advance the pay of
the men from time to time to keep
pace with the general increase in ex-
penses all around These are a few
things the company must consider in
operating the plant, and it is not nec-
essary to go into more details to eX-
plain our unfortunate position.
"The company appreciates the spirit
Of cooperation shown by the public,
which has had the support of the peo-
pie from its inception. We have gone
to extremes to serve the public and
appreciate the confidence the public
has in us and hope to merit a continu-
ance of that confidence. We feel that
in the present instance the public will
fully appreciate our position and CO.
operate with us in our necessity for
making the change in the fare sched-
ule, which, as / have pointed out, Is
done solely to meet absolute demands,
and which cannot be avoided any
longer.
AT one time we had hoped to over
come this financial problem, in a meas
ure, at least, by entering the commercial
light and power field, for which we are
equipped, and the public evidently want
ed us to get into the field, but we were
unsuccessful in our effort to get a
franchise, which left the railway as the
only source of revenue; hence the ne
cessity for dscontnuing the sale of the
reduced rate tickets. 10 will be our aim
to serve the public better in the future
than in the past, which we hope to be
able to do with little more revenue"
In order to facilitate the operation oil
the Brandywinc Springs line the COM
pany has decided TO make regular stops
in Roselle only mt designated points
which will be indicated by signs ON tn
trolley line poles. On and after Apri
cars will stop only at those points K

To Put On Flesh
And Increase Weight
A Physician S Advice.

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many OF the plump. chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all the
time. It's all bosh to say that this Is
the nature of the individual. 1t isn't
Natures way at all
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers OF assimilation are defective
They absorb just enough OF the food
they eat to maintain life and a SEM
blance OF health and strength Stuffing
won't make them gain a single Stay
there pound. All the fat producing ele-
ments OF their food just stay in the in
tcstines until they pass from the body as
waste. What such people need is some
thing that Will prepare these fatty food
elements SO that their blood can absorb
them and deposit them all about the
body something, too. that will multiply
their red blood corpuscles and increase
their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition | always recon-
mend eating a Sargol tablet with every
meal. Sargol is not. is some believe, "a

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-John
Lind, President wilson's personal en-
voy to Mexico, has been instructed TO
report to Washington all facts bear
ing on the reported understanding be-
tween President Huerta's Government

This action is said to be due to a
discussion precipitated by Senator

Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Monday night. According to general
report here, Senator Lodge is con-
WINGED that Japan is angling for a

lieves that prompt action is necessary
to prevent such a grant by the Next
can Government.
Administration officials believe that
Mexico is getting arms from Japan
and think that the japanese Govern
ment has cognizancf of the dealing OF
its merchants with agents Of Huerta.
