Others in West Are
Affected.

PHILADELPHIA, April I'm pur-
suance of the retrenchment plans,
made public last week, the Pennsy1-
vania Railroad yesterday annulled
lis passenger trains on the lines east
of Pittsburgh and Erie, and a large
number on the western lines. The
liz trains discontinued on the eastern
lines include the 62 specifically nam
ID in the original announcement and
thers formerly operated in connec-
ion with them and in addition to the
26 discontinued some weeks ago, when
cutting down in passenger service first
started
The financial saving on the Eastern
lines. it is estimated, will run close
to $2,000,00O per year. should the cur
tailment be in force that long. On
the Western lines, it is roughly cal
culated that the economies will effect
a saving not greatly dissimilar.
About fiveihundred employees in this
city were furloughed yesterday for
various periods, and it was said the
number of men already under sus-
pension and those to be laid off
within the next month would total
$4,000 on the lines east and 5000
west of Pittsburgh.

In accordance with a general order
issued by the Pennsylvania railroad
to the effect that the working force
be cut down all along the line be-
cause of business depression, mechan-
les, about three hundred in number,
We're laid off at the Kearny meadow
shops of the Pennsylvania yesterday.
Some of the men had been employed
at the shops for many years.
The publicity department of the
railroad when asked yesterday morn
ing regarding the lay-off denied it
had occurred. 1t is not known when
the men will be returned to work.
PITTSBURGH. April 2.-Retrench-
ment on the Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburgh. as announced by the
general offices here today, has already
taken the form of twenty five -passen-
ger trains, with twenty-five more to
be annulled April 5. Reduction in
working forces began late in the fall,
and on January / last $4,000 less men
were employed than on the cores
ponding date of the year before.
Since then there has been some fur
ther reduction, until the working force
is now down to what the officials de-
scribe as "bed rock"

FEARFUL HUMOR
COVERED Face
RESIN0L CURED

Paterson, N. J., Dec. 9, 1913: "About
a year ago my face began to crack and
get scaly in blotches. It soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me 10 end of discom.
fort. After a month or so, pimples and
6lackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. 1t was awful. The
pimples were sore and the rash was
itchy and my face had a most un-
slightly appearance. 1 could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint-
ment caused me instant relief. By the
time another jar of Resinol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
1 can truthfully say that it was COM
plete cure. Ny face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are.

She came to me in her gentle way
| and cared for me so tenderly, and for
that care l feel that 1 owe her this
humble tribute.
But let us turn now to the living
and give words of encouragement and
| cheer 20 Miss Giles successor, Miss
Flanagan, and Miss Turnbull, her as
sistant.
One new department has been estab-
lished this year that is very dear to
my heart and that is THE baby well
fare station"
If there is anything in this world
that will bring out the tenderness in
the heart of even the mightiest men,
it is baby. Many heart that has
been dead to all tender feelings has
almost burst with tenderness when a
baby has come into its life.
And then when this helpless, inno-
cent baby has come in poverty and
sickness, it melts the hardest heart
and opens the purse strings of all who
come in touch with it. So to me this
work of caring for the babies is the
noblest part of the work of the asso-
citation.
What a grand thing to have place |
where a mother can bring her baby
every week and have it thoroughly !
examined by the best physicians and
nurses and be given advice as to feed
ing and caring for it.
Then besides that there is the milk
station, where pure. sterilized milk in
clean bottles can be had for their ba-
bies by coming for it, 1t has been so
Iah
under treatment. Some of the poor
little things were in hopeless condi-
ton when first brought into the sta
ton. And there the poor, tired moth
ers have been cheered and helped.
This work is only in its infancy. AL
though it has progressed finely, have
visions of a much larger work.
l look into the future far enough to
see some generous hearted person
making it possible for these mothers
to have a summer camp where the
babies can have better air and be free
from many of the disagreeabIe things
hat hot weather brings to a home
where there is not money enough to
BUY When we go into the homes
where some of these babies live we
wonder how they can ever grow under
such conditions.
l ask myself the question over and
,ver: How did we ever get along
without the Visiting Nurse Rssocia-
ion?
How the poor must have suffered.
[ IS hard enough to be sick. but when I
poverty and sickness come together it {
S hard indeed. In closing, 1 want to

Mrs. G. G. Morse Pays
Tribute to Nurse

Mrs. Clara Chapman Morse ha
! written a beautiful tribute to the mem
DRY of Miss Margaret Giles, the frs
| visiting nurse of the city, who died 4
year ago as the result of too clos,
| application to her work. The lettel
was read at the Visiting Nurse asso
citation annual meeting, held Monday
and is here reproduced:
Another year has passed and gone
| Autumn is again here and its golden
beauty almost faded. The sunf1owers
are dead. The song birds are silent
All this death and decay reminds us
that as plant life fades and decays. SO
do our lives fade away and we pass
from this life to a life beyond
Our hearts are sad today as mem
DRY returns to our meeting a year ago,
when Miss Giles, to whose untiring
efforts we owe the existence of the
association, was with us.
IT was she who frs: started the work
of the Visiting Nurses association in
Rock Island.
Miss Giles knew no such word as
failure. She overcome all obstacles, and
there were many in the early days.
She gave her life, in fact, to the work.
Those of us who knew her Intimately,
know that she went beyond her
strength every day of her life, and
when sickness came she had no re-
sistance and life went out.
Although this life is not with us in
person today, her memory fingers in
our hearts. She has made for herself
a lasting memory in the hearts of the
many sick and poor and suffering ones
to whom she administered during the
years of her work as visiting nurse
in our city.
When l think of that frail little body
going about from day to day caring
for the sick and the needy, her face
so often sad but full of determination, /
| wonder why l did not more often !
Why are we so loath to speak word !
Of kindness? Why do we wait until 4
we are called upon to view for the last |
time the lifeless forms of our loved .
ones or friends before we are remind !
ed that by a kind word or deed we
might have made their lives a little ,
brighter or the burdens easier to bear.
4 would rather have the kindness now,
While on this earth | stay,
Than to have my grave with roses
strewn
When l have passed away.
What care l for earthly flowers
When from this world I'm free?
The house awaiting me beyond
Will be JOY enough for me.
would have TIE kind words now,
From those who life holds dear,
Than to wait till l am gone,
Then sing praises round my bier.
What care / for earthly words,
When from this world | go,
Just to greet the loved ones waiting me
Will be joy enough for me.
There came a time in my life when
needed a friend. ] was very i'll and
lad no one to care for me. My ply
ician sent the visiting nurse 10 me,
