Two Reports for April Caused
by Rock Island Receivership.
Officials Look With Favor Upon
Retention of Nudge.
ABILENE MAKES COMPLAINT
Citizens Take Up Schedule Mat
ters With Santa Fe Railway.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

One effect of the receivership of
the Rock Island will be to make two
reports, as far as reports go, or the
month of April. The receivershlp
coming near the end of the second
decade of the month will make more
work for employees that it would
have made had it come on May or
April 1.
Reports have been called for from
agents and accounting employees OF
the road up to April 20. 1t is under
stood that payrolls, expenditures of all
kinds, and receipts of every character
will be accounted for up to April 20
and following will be accounted under
the receivers operation of the prop
erty.
1t is said that this will make a ire
mendouS rush of work for short time
in the accounting and auditing de-
partments. In some departments of
the road, where delay may occur with
out serious injury to the property, the
business of the road or inconvenience
of the patrons. little will be done un-
til orders concerning future pol1cy IS
issued by the receivers.
Rock Island men look upon the re-
ownership with some favor. They are
glad to see H. u Nudge retained as
one of the receivers, urging that this
will insure little change of the policy
under receivers and will probably re-
suit in greater improvements to the
property being made than were pos
sibIe under the company management
in the condition of it's finances.
Railroad men point out that under
the rules of Mr.. Nudge, the Rock
Island has been in much better con-
dition physically than the average
road going into a receivership, and
they believe that once relieved of the
burdens placed upon it by high
finance that it will quickly emerge
from a receivership.
Rock Island officials in Topeka do
not look for any important change in
the management of the road. 1t is be-
lieved that the five vice presidents, A.
c. Ridgeway, in charge of operation;
J. E. German, in charge of traffic; E.
S. Moore, in charge of purchasing, and
George H. Crosby and J. J. Quinlan,
of the treasury department, will be re-
tanned by the receivers of the road.

QUIT MEAT
WHEN KIDNEYS
BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poiSons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.-Ndv.

WANT CHANGE OF SERVICE.
Abilene People Kick on Santa Fee
Train Schedule.

Abilene people want a change in
passenger service on the Superior
branch of the Santa Fe railway. The
matter has been brought to the at
tention of J. NJ. Council, of Topeka,
general passenger agent of the road
According to J. w. Howe, secretary
of the state board of control, who
lives at Abilene, the farmers and bust
ness men from Longford, Manches-
ter, Talmage and other towns have
no time to transact business at Abb
lere in one day. The reason is that
the north and south bound trains
meet at Abilene at 9:20 o'clock every
morning and there are no more pas
senger trains in either direction.
Senator Howe also says that it af-
fects mail service. Before the Feb
ruary schedule was placed in effect,
it gave the people three hours to shop
in Abilene. The Commercial club has
appealed to the Santa Fe.
When asked about the matter in To-
peka this morning, ]. NJ. Cornell ex-
planned the situation that has existed
since the February schedule. On ac-
count of eastern mail trains, change
had to be made on all Santa Fee divi-
sions to make connections at Chicago,
St. Louis and Kansas City. Mr.. Con-
nell said that the trains between
Strong City and Superior, Neb.,
through Abilene, had to be changed to
make good connections with the

WOMEN IN WAR

AS soldiers go forth to bear their
full share of the burden, women are
undergoing the supreme test. In
Europe they are proving themselves
equal to the emergency, and are de-
termined not only to suffer and en-
dure. but to fight on to the end. Their
place is not in the forefront of battle.
but they have a post which no man
can fill-nursing, cheering, and COM
forting the wounded or dying.
The dreadful sufferings which wom-
en- endure solely because of the deli
cate special organization which makes
them lead inefficient lives, or, rele-
gates them to the background to suf-
fer a lifetime of misery. There are
thousands of women in the United
States. who know of the wonderful
cures Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton (for women only) has brought
to their hopeless, discouraged sisters
throughout the country.
Middle aged women about to ex-

1T is a difficult matter to arrange
train schedules" said Cornell today,
land we do it in a way to accommo-
date the largest number of people. To
put the Superior trains back on the
old timecard would cause an upheav-
al of the through connections"
Mr.. Cornell pointed out that accom-
modationS have been made for pas
sengers on freight trains out of Abb
lene. Take for instance a Manches-
ter man wanting to transact a little
business in Abilene. He leaves Man
chester at S:4S. on the passenger
plug and arrives at Abilene at $3.50
o'clock; leaves there on the freight at
1898 p. m. and arrives at home again
at 1850 p. m. A state law makes it
compulsory for the railroads to take
passengers on all freight trains.
