KNOW THY COUNTRY
~-Railroads

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age. we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This &C.
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy Of American men
and Industries. in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering In
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy In trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged In the prob
lens OF transportation. and the great
est men in the history Of the worlds
commerce are at the head Of the
transportation systems Of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let US consider separately our Rail-
ways. Telegraph and Telephones, Ex-
press, Public Highways. Steamships.
Street Railways. Interurban and other
forms of transportation. and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage. the best service. the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient-
ly managed Of the railways of the
world. They stand as monument to
the native genius Of our marvellous
builders. and most Of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent larger In
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

Humor Of German Law.


The Green Bag gives the following
instances Of humor In German courts:
"In Berlin not long ago an ironwork.

laughed at a policeman. 1t appears
that as this man was proceeding along
q street one day his risibilities were
aroused by the sight Of a particularly
stout policeman giving chase to dog.
The offender was promptly hailed to
court and sent up for 'scAndal.'
"a German. in attempting to board q
moving train, fractured his leg. After
six months in q hospital he was dis
charged, whereupon the state railway
department at once prosecuted him for
infringement of regulations He was
nned q sum equivalent to s."
"Upon entering an omnibus . man
trod on the foot of q woman. who was

remarked that he walked like hen.
For this term of reproach the lady was

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constiPated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, chill's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, s3I Charles ST..
Luzernc, Pa, who attend many
eases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago We began using Dr..
Miles laxative Tablets and find that
wo like them very much. Their action
II excellent and We are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor Of any medi-
cine is very important. no matter
= who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
ative Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child. with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children. .
