RAILROAD NOTES.

J Pennsylvania Railroad may be fnet
81, 000, 900 under rebating charge made
by the government.
The proposed bridge acros Whitt
River at Rogers, Ind, will not be built
by the Evansville and indianapolis
Railroad and the work, which was just
getting under way, had to be aban-
doned. /,
Leading reports of the Western
railroads continue to reflect the heavy
freight movement with shortage Of
Gears only interfering with the showing
being larger. The gains over last year
are as high as 9 per cent, with the
shipments of grain very heavy.
An order has been placed with the
American Locomotive Company for
fifty mikado type locomotives for the
Paris, Orleans Railway. These en-
gines are said to be of quite a large
size and a fair estimate of the amount
involved in their purchase would be
between $1,500,OO0 and $2,Oo0,O 900.
Chicago and Alton officials are MAX
ing a determined effort to prevent
shippers of coal in system cars from
reconsigning the fuel after reaching
Chicago, to the Eastern seaboard. For
the first time in the history of the BIZ
luminous industry shipments are be-
ing made from the mines of Central
Illinois to the Eastern States.
An American locomotive of the dec
apod type has broken European req
ords for hauling a heavily loaded
freight train. The feat was accom-
plished on the Nikolaief division of the
Russian Southern Railway, where the
locomotive hauled a train $500 feet
long, with a load of 3,424 tons. The
experiment was conducted by Profess
sor L~omonosof, a member Of the en-
cheering board of the Russian Minis
try Of Ways Of Communication, A
Russian engine was tried against the
American, but the latter clearly Prov
ed its superiority.
A wonderful record of efficiency and
economy is shown in the annual report
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company for the. year ended
June 80, 1916. Gross receipts for the
year increased a little more than SILL
100000 over those Of the year hsfope,
and approximately sle,eoo,ooo Of this
increase was saved for net. This
record made in spite Of rising costs of
everything that goes into the opera
ton Of a railroad, illustrates the poll
'cy Of the company under the present
management.
Reports from agents Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the upper
peninsula of Michigan indicate that
the fall fishing and small game hunt
Ing season is on in earnest. Hundreds
Of hunters and fishermen from Chica-
60 and the East have focked to the
North country during the last few
weeks, and the fishing is reported good
in the lakes where the piscatorial in
habitants didn't display an appetite all
summer long.
Scores of hunters are sleeping out
in the open, being well provided with
blankets and other warn covering.
The nights in the pine forests of the
North woods are clear and cool at this
season of the year, and many canvas
tents are to be seen. Partridge,
spruce hen, woodcock, canadians
Honkers," teal and mallard duck are
plentiful this year and sportsmen have

AGED GRANDMOTHER
So Weak She Could Hardly Stand
 Made Strong by VinoI.

Right here in New Britain we have seen such excellent results from Vinol that it is a pleasure to know 1t is doing so much good for old people in other parts of the country.
 Woodbridge, N. J.,-"My Grandma was recovering from the grippe and vas so weak she could hardly stand, and as she keeps house for my father and myself, she could not get around at all. She had taken cod liver oil and many other medicines, but nothing seemed to do her any good. It, and Grandma commenced to feel better right away, and got strong very soon, so she gets around as we'll as ever. We all praise Vinol for it Is a splendid medicine.'' Myrtle H. Bum.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in restoring strength to the aged is because of the rare combination of tonic iron, the curative medicinal extratives of fresh cods livers, beef peptone and mild native wine. It supplies iron to the blood, quiclzens the appetite, aids digestion, prom otes proper assimilation of food, and en- riches the blood, and brings back the strength of renewed health.

usually short time to put through the senate, for such an important meas ure. Senator Hollis, the only demo- cratic senator New Hampshire has mad in many years, had charge of the measure and engineered it through in week or a little more. During the debate on the bill Sena- tor Cummins of Iowa made a speech, which Senator Brandegee interrupted with questions about legal matters, which led to the following colloquoy:
 MT. Brandegee-I want to ask the senator to develop at some period in his argument thought which he suggested. If this is not the proper time, do not let me divert the sena- tor from his present subject: but he suggested when he was discussing the question of the compulsory incOrpora- ton of interstate commerce carriers that if the theory which he is now attacking were upheld there would te danger of the property of the car riers located in the several States being exempt from taxation with the States. SuppOsing the Federal in corporation of interstate carriers were made compulsory and supposing Congress did not attempt to exempt their property in the several States from taxation in those States, where in does the Sena tor have apprehen- sion that by any relation between the Government and the States the property might be in danger of being held to be exempt? I do not follow the Senator on that particular point.
 MT. Cummins. MT. President. I do not want to draw into this debate the very difficult and doubtful dues- tion of whether the United States can or should compel the common carriers to organize under the laws of the United States as a condition of doing an interstate transportation business. I am not in favor of 1t myself at this time, and I doubt very much our constitutional power to require it. I am in favor, however, Of permissive national incorpora- ton act. I am in favor of passing lew which will premit not only in terstate carriers, but those engaged in interstate commerce, to organize under a law of Congress, because I think the regulation which we desire to impose upon such business can be much more efficiently carried out if they are so organized. If we should pass a statute of that sort which, I think, marks the real ad- vance upon this great subject-then, if under the Constitution the pro- perty of the Federal land bank pro-
 posed to be created under this bill is exemp from taxation, or could be exempted from taxation by an act of Congress, all the property of the carriers or the manufacturing estab- lishments or distributing establish ments, under such a law of Congress as I have described would be like wise exempt from State taxation.
 MT. Brandegee. That is the point why are they exempt in the ab- sence of statute of Congress de- claring them to be exempt?
 MT. Cummins. I have just been arguing that Congress has no au
New Britain herald., 1916-05-08

thority to declare any property ex- empt: I have been insisting that property which is exempt is exempt because of the constitutional relation between the State and the Federal Government Now, if that constitu- tional relation exempts the property Of a corporation organized to loan money to a certain class of our citi- zens, and incidentally to receive now and then deposits from the Federal Government, and act in that way as fiscal agent of the Federal Govern ment. so a corporation organized for the purpose of carrying on interstate transportation and to assist the Gov ernment in it's official or government al functions of regulating interstate commerce would also be exempt from all taxation on the part of the State.
 MT. Brandegee. I follow the Sena- tor now. The Senator has answered the question.

MODEL GROCERY STORE.

Outlying residential districts in scores of cities are continually being marred by the encroachment of busi- ness houses. Since the matter has become a problem that is being given considerable study, it is interesting to observe how a Portland, Ore., grocery man escaped being the object of in- dignation meetings when he estab- lished store in the heart of one of the most exclusive residence sections or that city. He erected a building which has all the outward appearance Of being an expensive home, and one that compares favorably with the houses adjacent to it. The struc- ture, which is of colonial architec- ture, is finished in stucco and set back thirty feet from the sidewalk. A broad veranda, shrubs, box plants, and a well-kept lawn give it a very attrac- tive appearance. Except for a small sign, inconspicuously hung, one would not suspect that the building was em- ployed as a store. A picture of this attractive grocery appears in the De- cember Popular Mechanics Magazine.

PLAIN QUESTIONS
 TO PEOPLE
Every Bridgeport Reader Will Admit
 the Soundness of the Logic.

Every Bridgeport Reader Will Admit
 the Soundness of the Logic.
 Would Bridgeport people recom- mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do If the medicine were not reliable :? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their ex- periences did not show the remedy to be deserving of 1t? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader:
 James F. Carrier, All Central ave- nue. Bridgeport. says: II have used Doan's Kidney Pills for all signs of kidney and bladder complaint. When have pains across my loins and sides and my kidneys are weak, obliging me to get up at night to pass the kid ney secretions, I take a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. They always do me a great deal of good" Statement given August 16, 1912.)
 No November Il, 1915, MT. Carrier said: Tt is always a pleasure to be able to recommend Doans Kidney Pills, No other medicine has helped me as much as they"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Carrier has twice publicly recom- mended. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Props, BuftalA T. r.

CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEvER|SH
 IF CONSTIPATED
California Syrup of Figs can't harm tender StOm-
 ach or bowels.

A laxative today saves & sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment. give teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, be- cause it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is neces- sary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full direction for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that 1t is made by the Cali Sornia Fig Syrup Company"
