Perhaps the success OF 'Kick In was

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing q
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
surethat nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats OF punishment il
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
DIR. Williams Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens a girl lays the foun-
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. 1t is of
the greatest Importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the
DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y, for the book, "Buildine

Brotherhood Officials Tell
of Eight-HOur Day Benefits
Special to the Telegraph

Cleveland, Ohio. April 81. - Officers
of the railroad brotherhoods. who are
asking the railroads to establish an
eight-hour workday basis for train
hands, have issued a statement direct
ed to businessmen and shippers gener-
ally on the subject of freight conges-
tion. The railroaders argue that an
eight-hour basis would result in speed
ing up freight movements so that the
payment of punitive overtime charges
would be avoided and indeed some
raiiroaders frankly say that the idea of
high pay for overtime is to eliminate
overtime as far as possible.
The statement says that in these
days of keen competition and quick
style changes in manufactured goods
that freight shipments are so slow that
styles change and discounts are lost
through tardy delivery of goods

New Crossing Signals Are
Undergoing Tests on Reading

The Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company is experimenting
with a new roadway crossing signal.
It was devised by f. S. Stevens, en-
gineer of the maintenance of way de-
p0rtment, and j. D. Phillips, superin-
tcndent of signals. These signals are
placed at conspicuous places on each
side of the CROSSINGS and will be oper-
ated by electricity in Connection with
the Hall signals. The signal will show
white, when the tracks are safe to
cross. Once train is close to the
crossing red signals will be flashed.
Tie red lights and paddles can be
seen at a great distance.

LOCAL THEATERS

1t is generally conceded that Roi
Cooper Megrue and Walter Hacketts
farce, 1T Pays to ADVERTISE" which
Cohan and Harris will present at the
Orpheum next Wednesday, matinee and
evening, is one of the best plays seen
on the American stage in many sea-
sons.
TT Pays to Advertise" presents the
very essence of American spirit, Ameri-
can humor and American character. If
you saw the piece translated into
French, German or any other language,
there would be no mistaking it's origin,
and certainly no more e-splitttng
farce has been concocted in america.
AS a matter of fact, 1T Pays to
Advertise" is the sort of play that
makes you throw your head back until
1t rests on the back of your chair and
laugh to your hearts content. 1t is an
amusing, well-written and well-acted
| play and like all the best pieces of its
| kind. it is founded on an original idea,
which we will not here disclose for
fear of spelling the enjoyment of pros
! pectiVe patrons.
Seeing 1T Pays to Advertise" fur
nishes a buoyancy that finds expression
| in much hearty laughter. besides in
| spring a determination to emulate the
example of the young man in the play
/ who. deciding to enter upon business
/ career. finds success through the
medium of a publicity campaign that
embraces love, printers ink and the
soap industry mixed in such admirable
| proportions as to make for continuous
merriment throughout its presenta-
