RAILROAD BUSINESS BOOMING
Figures Show Number Or ldISa Cars
Less Than at Any Time In
Last Decade.

New York, NJ Y.-Figures com
piled by the American Railway Asso-
citation show that on November 1 the
railways of the United States and
Canada had only 26,9S9 idle cars on
hand, This compares with 1920
month ago, and with 17O,O96 on No
vember /, 1914.
The most congested section of the
country for the present is the east
ern district-New York, Pennsylya-
mia and New England. Reports Of
actual shortages in freight cars to-
tailed 26,62S, and it is probable that
these shortages were found mainly
In the ammunition making districts.
The actual surplus of idle ears re-
ported for November / was 52.Se7
and substracting from this the re-
ported number Of cars which could
have been utilized, the net surplus of
26,239 is obtained.

WHY "ANURIC"
Is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
OF sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce, of the
lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package Of his new discovery
"Anuric" Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
