movement of carload freight, and that the house freight was being moved ra pidlN. A vigorous campaign for the rapid movement of carload freight was therefore undertaken by the Chamber of Commerce, the mall ufacturers and the railroad and when the railroad company issued it's last daily statement, some weeks ago, the number of cars that had been in the local yards for two days and had not been unlOaded was insignificant.
 During all that time the house freight caused little trouble, but about two weeks ago it started in to accu- mulate in the freight houses and the railroad company, according to the officials have been forced 10 resort to drastic means of getting sufficient space for the handling or more freight.
 It is now the intention of the rail road company to clear the freight houses of all the freight that has been in the buildings for more thau a reasonable period of time"

RAILROAD CARRIES OUT ITS THREAT

Waterbury, May 3.-The New Ha- tun delivered a. few days ago to con- signees, who did not move their freight rapidly enough Freight that has been unloaded from cars and kept Tn the company's freight houses for a reasonable time" without being moved is now being carried to an out side warehouse. Railroad officials will divulge neither the names of the owners nor the amount of the freight that has today gone into "cold stor- age.'
 It is the most drastic move tho railroad company has taken as yet to relieve the congestion in Waterbury and was not decided upon until after investigation by Investigators D. F. Crowley and F. C. Syze who were sent out by the Eastern Freight Accumu- lation Conference to try to solve the freight situation in Waterbury. The inspectors advocated such a course of action and the H. W.

 road officials will permit freight to remain in the houses, before removing 1t to the warehouse.

Railroad Of ficials claim they have the legal right to use this summary pro cei;s method of clearing the freight houses and that they can tax the expense to the consignee. Several merchants who were questioned about the matter to- day said none of their freight would be affected by the warehouse move ment and declined to comment on the railroads new policy.
 Until a few weeks ago, the less than-carIoad freight did not cause the railroad any particular trouble from a congestion standpoint, and at various times during the embargo since Supt. Miller of the Highland Di- vision has said the congestion was caused to a large extent by the slow

DRINK A GLASS
 OF REAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh
 and avoid illness.

Sanitary science mas of late made rapid strides with results that are Of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of it's untiring research is the recomm endation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita- ton of the drainage system of the hu- man body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting heada che, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom- ach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action Of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigoratng It cleans out all the sour Concentrations, gases, waste and acid itv and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the Ehosphated hot water is quietly extracting a, large VOL ume of water from the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store This will cost very little, but is suffi- cient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal san- itatiOn.

HUNGRY 0ARSMEN
Penn Crew Complain That Iood Served at Training Table Is helo" Former Standard.

Philadelphia, May 3.-Troubles of all sorts seem to be in the way of the Penn crew squad to hinder the men in their efforts to prepare for the Hen lev Regatta on May 13. Less than two weeks remain now for work, and the iinx still seems to be on their trail.
 Chief among the troubles is the food that the men are being served at the training table. About the mid begin taking their meals at the train ing house. AS a rule they like it, Tor the best of meats have always been served This year, however, coercion has been necessary to keep the sweep handlers there. They frequently ask if they cannot leave and go back to their fraternities or boarding houses, where they can get enough to sat.
 The trouble at the training house is not a new one, but it has now reached a climax. Last Fall the foot ball team suffered through two months of this service, while during the Spring the track squad has gradu- ally dwindled as the men nave refused trolled a little more strictly, and the men have all had to eat together. but now they are likely to leave in a body

LONG ROW FOR YALE CREWS.
First and Second Flights Have Ten
 Mile Spin at Low Stroke.

New Haven, May 3.-Yale's first and second crews rowed about ten miles on the Housatonic ye5terday aft ernoon, the Varsity keeping it's stroke at about twenty-six and the second crew two or three points lower. Coach Guy Nickalls plans to raise the stroke of both eights gradually, giving spe- cial attention to the second eight be- cause of it's race two weeks hence at Philadelphia in the American Henley.
 The excellent showing of the sec ond eight in winning it's event from the second PennsylVania crew two weeks ago has made it probable that two or three of it's members will be promoted to the first boat, but inc change is not likely to go into effect till after the American Henley races.

Persevnrance Through.

Baseball is over for the Persever- ance miners. The boys have turn ed in their suits and paraphernalia and called it off until next year. The Perseverance boys had an excel lent team this year and made every one of their opponents go some to beat them. Treadwell, Douglas. Ju- neau, and Thane always knew they had been in a tough game when they got through with the Perse- yerance boys.
 The miners team set good rec ord for winning games, having lost but very small percentage of those played, and on the Fourth of July took second money in a tbree-cor- nered series against Juneau and iThane. The boys are perfect gentle men players all the time, and are all-round good sports. Manager Ralph Healy and Captain Gerald lDermody are deserving of credit for the masterful way they handled the team this season. The ball fans of the channel will anxiously wait the opening of the next season 80 that Perseverance may enter an- other teamin the contests.

 Even the Irish situation, lament able as it is. merely forms a domes- tic problem.
