A reasonable estimate of the loss of
the New Haven by reason alone Oh
waste and Encouragement" the
Commission places at an amount be-
tween sixty million dollars and ninety
million dollars.
For many year to come these
transactions are to be drain upon the
New Ravens resources and the en-
ployes are expected to do constantly
increasing labor without correspond
ing increase in pay in order to make
up this loot"
No wonder Mr. Elliott would like to
have the public forget and ''let the
dead past bury it's dead" But the
ghost of highly inflated capital secur-
tiles" cannot so easily be disposed OF.
Mr.. Elliott presents statistics but
does not allow in these figures for the
fact that the basis of an eight-hour
work day already exists on a number
of railroads. He does not allow for
the fact that the demand for an eight
hour day does not affect the hundreds
Of thousands of train employees in
passenger service throughout the
United States.
Much stress is laid by Mr. Elliott on
the fact that only 10 per cent of the
railway aemy now absorbs % per cent.
of the railways payroll? He fails to
mention the very important fact that
this % per cent constitutes the most
skilled of the employees who are bear
t ing a greater responsibility and run
ming greater risks than any other class
of railway employees. 1t would be just
as convincing if Mr.. Elliott would
show the large salaries received by a
comparatively few higher administra-
tive officials as compared to the total
expense of administration along side
Of hte numerous lesser officials and
clerks.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Elliott that
this is a poor time to make demand
for an increase in pay.
If in thees prosperous times it is
poor time" the employees are at loss
to know when would be a god time.
They were told early in the year 1915
by the Federal Arbitration Board, that
mo Improvement in their conditions
of employment could be granted, be-
cause there was depression in the
railroad business at that time" No
Improvement could be secured during
lean" years and now Mr.. Elliott
comes forward and claims that i'm
provement in working conditions
should not be asked in good years."
The game apparently is head 1 win,
tails you lose" But the employees in
railway freight train service see no
good or convincing reasons in Mr..
Elliott's argument, especially in view
OF the fact, that enormous sums are
wasted in mismanagement and financ-
ial manipulation and when the United
States government issues reports
showing how once prosperous rail-
roads have been MIXED and looted of
such tremendous sums, that the en-
employees should have to bear the full
burden.
If only small part of the enormous
sums that are annually diverted from
their proper uses could be applied to
the betterment of the conditions of
the employee, it would more than Off
set any inconsiderable increase which
might come by the granting of an
eight-hour day.

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds OF
More.

Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or
Mere.
I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
sively thin man or woman. Such a re-
suit is not impossible, despite past
failures Most thin people are victims
OF mal-nutritlon, a condition which
prevents the fatty elements of food
from being taken up by the blood as
they are when the powers of nutrition
are normal. Instead of getting into
the blood, much of the fat and flesh
producing elements stay in the intes-
tines until they pass from the body as
waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce healthy, normal amount of fat,
the nutritive processes must be arti-
ficially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can
probably best be accomplished by eat
ing a Sargol tablet with every meal
Sargol is a careful combination of six
splendid assimilative agents. Taken
with meals, they mix with the food to
turn the sugars and starches of what
you have eaten into rich, ripe nourish-
ment for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect has been in many eases
reported remarkable. Reported gains
of from 10 to 25 pounds in single
month are by no means -infrequent.
Yet its action is perfectly natural and
absolutely harmless Sargol is sold
by Harper House pharmacy and other
druggists everywhere and every pack
age contains guarantee of weight in
crease or money back.
Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder, and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indiges-
ticn, etc, have been reported, care
should be taken about using il unless
a gain of weight Is desired.-tAdy)
