SAFETY FIRST WINS
FOR THE BURLINGTON
Personal Injuries Were Reduced 10
Per Cent on This Road as Re-
suit Of Propaganda.

The safety first report for the year
1914 has been received from the cen
trail committee of the Burlington
road and is interesting from the fact
| that it shows the great advance that
has been made in this movment since
it's conception in 1912.
When the safety first movement
was first spoken of and brought TO
the attention of the average en-
ployes of the Dig railroads, the atten-
ton it received was distinctly not
complimentary. AS time went on
and the brakeman, the fireman, the
engineer and the yardman saw that
the road they worked for was taking
enough interest in their welfare TO
foster the movement they also be-
came interested. The result is that
every employe from callboy to gen
eral manager takes the deepest in
terest in all that pertains to safety
first Trivial improvde,ents in the
road which will obviate danger are
all reported. Every man is PRIVILEGED
to offer his ideas to the safety COM
mittee.
The safety first movement has also
sharpened the. inventive faculties of
the rank and file to some extent. De-
vices which will minimize danger
are constantly being submitted. For
merly there was no occasion to in
vent such things. At the present time
these devices are priced highly when
they prove of value.
The reduction of casualties for the
year 1914 was forty-four per cent as
compared with 1912, the first year OF
the movement. Injuries in 1912
were 1910 and were lowered IS pei
cent in 1914, when the injuries re-
ported amounted to 4,02S. This low
ring of. toll of death is only possible
by the close attention Of the en-
ploye to the little items. Low cross
arms of telephone poles, tracks in
bad order, stock yards gates left
open, improved sign posts at railroad
crossings and many other things have
been suggested by employees as need
ing attention and these reports are
always acted upon by the railroads
as a mark Of appreciation of their
interest.

great shortness Of BREATH smothering
spells, sitting up to breathe, cough,
faint spells, sometimes nausea and
vomiting, even bursting Of the limbs
and a lingering and wretched death
if dropsy is not removed.
DR.. Miles has been known as lead
ing specialist in this disease for 80
years His liberal offer is certainly
worthy Of serious consideration You

The Grand Dropsy Treatment con-
sists OF four dropsy remedies in one,
also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for
removing the water. This treatment
is especially prepared for each patient
and is many times as successful as
that OF most physicians 1t usually

TOWN BOARD MEETS

( The town board held their reg
ular meeting Saturday night, and
after the transaction of routine
business, the question of the col
lection of back taxes came up.
Assessor Woo.ery handed in a
list of those refusing to be assess
ed that scarcely left enough men
in town to form a Board of Su.
pervIsors, and Tax Collector Ea-
ton reported tax money as com
ing very slowly. After a short
discussion Mr.. Eaton was in
structed to go right after the de-
linquents, and see they paid up
at once, and take such action as
he deemed necessary to collect
all past due taxes.
Some of those reported as re-
fusing to be assessed were pres
ent at the meeting and stated
their reasons for SO refusing.
Others declared that they had
not refused, but had not been
called on. The following men
were appointed to the Board of
Supervisors, and will meet at an
early date to 90 over the tax
lists: Dr. VIM. q. Martin, John
Potts and Henry Waldr0n.
Another matter that came up
for discussion was the license fee
of $500 imposed on soft drink
stands. Tins ordinance has been
.slnlaled sIuce il came inta effect
of January l, and it was urged
that It either be enforced or re-
scinded. 1t was finally decided
TO offer to take "A stated case to
the Circuit Judge for decision,
and in the meantime To allow
the sale to continue. 1t was de.
cided that If this method was not
satisfactory to those violating The
ordinance, warrant would be
taken out for the offenders, and
the case would he tried as once.
