4 GIRLS COMPLEXION

Very few girls get through their teens
without eruptions or pimples showing on|
their faces.
These may be due to Indigestion result
ing from improper diet. II SO they will
quickly disappear when the proper food
is adhered to. If they are accompanied
by pallor and listlessness you must look
to the condition of the blood.
Because these eruptions on the faces od
school girls are so common they seldom
receive the attention from parents thai
they require. When they indicate thin
blood or anemia there is ready remedv
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Thesetonid
pills, free from harmful drugs, are pretty
sure to help growing girls because thev
build up the blood at time when the
demand on it is greatest. AS the blood
is made rich and red, tickle appetites be-.
come normal, lassitude gives way to
vigor, the cheeks and lips show the glow
OF health and the whole system is toned
up. The nervous system is invigorated
and with proper attention to diet many
dangers are averted.

CAR SHORTAGE Is
RAILROAD REPORT
First Since November; Canada
Is Also Badly in Need of
Equipment

For the first time since November I,
1913, the American Railway Associa-
tion reports a net shortage of freight
cars on the lines in the United States
and Canada The net shortage on
March was 20.551 as compared with
surplus of idle cars of 21,4S5 on Feb
ruary l, 1916.
The net shortage of 20,551 on March
last compare with a net surplus of
S21,747 cars on March 1. 1915, which
clearly shows the great change in traf-
ffc conditions as compared with a
year ago.
On March 1 there was a net short
age of 29,273 of boxcars as compared
with a net shortage of 9,416 on Febru-
ary 1, and there was also a net short
age of 5,S31 coal cars on March 1, as
compared with net surplus of SOS,
on February 1.
Trouble in West
The principal boxcar trouble is
west of Chicago and particularly in the
northwest. West of Chicago the box
car shortage increased 1000 cars dur
ing March. 1t is because of this grow
ing scarcity of boXcars in the west
where they are needed to handle the
grain that the American Railway AS
sociation recently adopted a rule that
eastern carriers must return to west
ern lines 20 per cent. more cars than
they receive from the western roads.
Canada Is also short of boxcars.
One of the principal causes of the
freight car shortage is the congestion
at Atlantic seaport terminals where
thousands of cars are held up and
have been help up for weeks because
of the inability of consignee to unload
and release them

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question IS asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
