Thousands Just Half Sick.
Thousands of persons drag along
from morning until night without en-
ergy or ambition. They are not sick
enough to go to bed, but they lack
the zest of life. They are just half
sick"
Such was the statement of the Tan
lac health expert, who has created
widespread comment by mis- original
ideas. He continued:
You can't have good health if you
have poor digestion.
Too Many Bolt Food.
1.-The stomach is the most important
organ in the body and the most abused.
The large majority of people do not
take sufficient time to eat their food.
They give no thought to what foods
are good for them. They simply swat
low what is convenient and pleasant.
THE stomach tells quickly when it
is abused through overeating or other
mistreatment. When it warns, take
instant heed or dire results will follow.
"a disordered stomach brings on
headaches. 1t causes constipation,
biliousness, indigestion, nervous dis
orders and other ills.
TanIac Most Successful.
"Taniac is the most successful rem
edy for stomach ills on the market to-
day. 1t is composed of roots, barks,
herbs and berries gathered in all parts
of the world BY its composition it is
designed to build strength, create
better digestion and more blood, and
to strengthen t he nervous system
through correction of the common dis
orders of the stomach. liver AND smu-
cous membranes. The testimony ct
your neighhOrs all around you bears
out that it has accomplished this"

fine farms, excellent buildings and

Steel PASSENGER Car Facts.

The latest compilation of equipment
statistics available shows that at the
close of last year 61,72S passenger cars
were in service on the railroads of the
United States, of which Al ,3S2 were of
wood construction, 14,2S6 all-Steel,
while 5000 had steel underframes and
wooden bodies; that during the years
1913, 1914 and 1915, 6,774 wooden cars
were retired from service, 2,130 having
been strapped last year. From which
it appears that the process of substi-
tuting steel for wooden cars is being
accelerated in geometrical ratio, so to
speak, since the entire number Of the
former in use in 1909 was only 629, of
which nearly all were In service on the
Pennsylvania system, whereas, at the
end of seven years, there were more
than $4,000. Last year 1850 all-steel
cars were built, and only 90 wooden
ones, while of the 1904 cars under
construction on January l last only
three were of wood. To replace even
the wooden cars yet remaining in use
with all-steel, could it be done outright,
would cost upward of $500,000000.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD,

Probably the most economical house
design for the northern sections of the
country Is square-built two-story
house with a good basement. 1t is a
good sensible way to build, and it
solves the heating problem in winter
with greater satisfaction than any
other style Of house known to the
American builder.
The principle of the circulation of
warm air applies splendidly in COM
pact two-story house. The tendency
of hot air is to rise, because hot air is
lighter than cold air. In applying this
principle the cold air is taken in from
outside through the cOld-air boxes and
is sent through the furnace to the
rooms on the first floor during the
whole twenty-four hours. The up
stairs registers usually are closed dur
ing the daytime in cold weather be-
cause the surplus heat from the first
floor finds its way to the upper rooms
through the stairway. The upper rooms
are also warmed to a certain degree
through the floors. This is written
with a warm-ar furnace in mind. The
same principle applies to a certain ex-
tent when the hot-water system of
heating is employed.
The house shown in this design is
set well up on a concrete wall, in a
way to make a splendid basement that

Steel Cars on Railroad in India.

The Great Indian Penlnsular rail-
road recently successfully expert
mented with one steel passenger coach,
and has now constructed an entire
train of that material. This train
runs as the Bombay-Delhi Express,
carrying intermediate and third-class
passengers. Each carriage is 6S feet
long and the body, including the roof,
is Of steel plate riveted and welded
to steel supporting members, so that
the whole of the body and the under
frame, on which the former is built
as one piece, are of steel. Inside the
car proper the fittings and furniture
in touch with passengers are of wood,
as are the window frames, venetians,
ETC., while the actual lining Is of as
bestos heat-resisting composition, held
up with wooden holdings secured to
the steel members. An interesting
point is that one carriage has all its
internal woodwork made Of japanese
ash as an experiment.

BILLIONS OF MONEY INVESTED
Enormous Amount of Capital Put Into
the Railroads of the United
States.

Capital invested in railroads of the
United States, amounts to $15,917,1 1922
925, according to the compilation made
by the Bureau of Railway News and
Statistics, Chicago. The interstate
commerce commissions figures for
1914 show railroad capital to be $15,-
119,G96,925. The commissions figures,
however, do not include those of roads
the annual gross earnings Of which are
less than 100000. The aggregate mile
age represented therein is 235,S15. The
bureau holds that these smaller roads
have mileage aggregating $40 and
represent a capital cost of S197, 1885,
600. The capital investment per mile
is shown to be 500, 166.
New capital for railroad cOnStruc-
ton, extensions, or improvements, list
ed on the New York stock exchange
during the calendar year 1915, the
bureaus analysis shows, amounted to
SOL, 535,O70 as against 303,230,500 in
1914. During that time the total stocks
and bonds listed increased nearly two
and one half millions, making 1898, 1872
10. In 1915, however, far greater
proportion of the total represented Sc
curities issued to refund or retire older
issues. Bonds listed for purely new
construction or Improvement purposes
fell from $23S,376,SO0 in 1914, to 49,
624,50O in 1915, while stocks listed for
new work dropped from $64,S53, 700 in
1914, to $12,91O,57O in 1915, during the
same period, bonds listed for refunding
older issues, etc, rose from S1O6607,-
GOO to $247030,600 and stocks from
$2S1, 1872 400 to $345,917, 100. - Wall

WAS IDEA OF CHICAGO MAN
as the Originator of the safety
First" Slogan.

"The safety-firSt movement has
taken root all over the world" said
Ralph Evans, a railroad man of Chi
cagO. ar. G. Richards, general claim
agent of the Chicago Northwestern
railroad, was the originator of the
idea. He former the first railroad
'safety-firSt organization five years ago
and now 90 other railroads in the United
States and Canada, with a mileage Of
more than 205,000, have adopted
safety-first plans. 1t is almost impos-
sible to estimate the decrease in the
loss of life and injuries that has fol-
lowed. In spite of increases in mile
age of road operated and in the amount
Of freight and number Of passengers
carried, the number of lives lost be-
cause of accidents has steadily de-
creased from 107 in 1910 to 30 in 1915,
and the number of persons injured
from $500 in 1910 to 5,203 in 1915.
This Is a remarkable record and
shows what a little caution can do.
Railroads are only partially to blame
for accidents. In hundreds of cases
the people themselves could avoid in
jury if they took the care to follow
the ordinary rules of safety first"

Shortest Railroad.

The shortest railroad in America
and at the same time one Of the most
profitable, according to one account, is
the Grand Island railroad, which con-
stitutes the only rail link in the trans
continental trade route that connects
Fort McMurray, on the Arctic circle
with settled parts of Canada. The
road is operated and owned by the
Hudson Bay company. 1t is quarter
Of mile long and cost less than $500
to build, the rail being of wood, with
stray-iron facings. The rolling stock
consists of two fiat cars which are
pushed by hand along the rails. The
freight rate for all classes of COM
mOdities is $3.50 a ton and some idea
Of the volume of traffic can be OBJ
tanned from the fact that in its co
years of operation the Grand Island
railway has earned profits of more
than million dollars.

HAS CAUSED WRECKS !
SAGGING EARTH UNDER ROADBED
PUZZLES ENGINEERS.
Proves Hard Matter to Handle and
Railroad Is Tired of Paying
Money to Extricate Its Cars
From the Mud.

Near Titusville, Pa, an eastern rail-
road company is experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty with a peculiar sink
hole which exists Immediately beneath
its roadbed, reports Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Periodically this hole
has been a trouble source for many
years, and only recently attracted
fresh attention when three cars of
freight train, which had been brought
to stand over the place, sank into
the ground. In this case they were
subsequently recovered. In the past,
however, fortune has not been so
good. Some 20 years ago five cars set
tied into the hole and although excava-
tons were made they were never
found. On another occasion two
horses sank from sight. After the first
accident heavy timbers were placed
across the ground and the bed rebuilt.
A number of years later the track
again gave away and as result was
moved to one side. Recently it was
brought back to its original place.
Many cars Of crushed stone have been
dumped into the hole, but apparently
with little effect. So far as is known
no geologist has explained the cause
of the phenomenon. 1t is interesting
to note, however, that less than a half
mile from this place, which is in a
billy district, there is small lake of
considerable depth. In the local
vernacular it is termed the Bottom
less lake." and apparently does have
a depth Of more than hundred feet.
Because two small fish, neither of
which had eyes, were once removed
from the sink hole, it is popularity sup
posed that the latter and the lake have
a subterranean connection. The forma-
tion in this locality is peculiar, and
one correspondent even goes so far
as to assert that by humping upon
the ground at distance of half mile
from the lake, the surface of the lake
is disturbed.

so that the two rooms may be made
into one by opening both doors clear
back
For this reason the buffet sideboard
is built against the back of the dining
room to avoid any unnecessary OBJ
struction in the main part of the room.
The living room and dining room are
both made especially light and airy
by two triple windows and three sin
gle windows. The present fashion is
to have plenty of light in the living
rooms, and it is a good fashion that
should remain in vogue for the next
thousand years. The history of house
windows reads wider with each cent
ury.
An interesting feature of this house
is the manner in which the stairway
is built. To commence with, there lis
a grade entrance at the side of the
house which leads down into the cellar
and up into the kitchen, a combination
that is used in a great many modern
houses. The same economy of space
and travel is employed in the stairway
to the second floor and to the attic. 1t
doubles back from a landing half way
between floors. The landing is provid-
ed for by an extension built as a space
saver to give plenty of length of stair
run with wide treads and easy risers-
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-07-14

though the two small linen closet doors
open into the hallway.
The attic is of use only for storage
purposes and for the drying of clothes
on stormy washdays. For this reason
there is a sensible stairway leading up
to the attic and a door at the foot
which closes it off from the rest of the
house.
1t is necessary to have a good wide
lot for house built after this design
to show it to advantage. On general
principles full two-story square
house may be put on smaller lot than
a wide spreading or squatty building,
but any good dwelling deserves room
enough to look right. When buying a
lot for home or planning a house for
a lot already purchased it is well to
keep in mind that any house looks best
when 1t fits the lot.
The lawn around a good full two
story house requires different treat
ment from a low dwelling with an
overhanging roof. Shrubbery and vines
are needed for the proper finish of any
dwelling, and room for these should be
provided for when the plans are being
drawn and the lot purchased.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-07-14

The extension also contaiLs windows
to light the stairway, and as it is artis-
tically designed it adds to the general
appearance of this side of the house
A study of the second floor plan will
show that every square foot of floor
space works to advantage. There are
four bedrooms and four clothes closets
all arranged on straight lines without
shutting the light from any window
and without any useless corners. Such
a splendid arrangement of rooms is
considered quite triumph of skill on
the part of an architect.
There is practically no wall space in
the upper hallway. 1t is all taken up
by the necessary doors. Even the linen
closet is tilched from the bathroom, al

good viands, could not eat. He trifled
with his food, and sighed heavily.
