CAR SHORTAGE IS
AGAIN EXPECTED
FEWER CARS ARE ON HAND THIS
YEAR THAN HAS EVE? BEEN
REPORTED BEFORE
Business Of Country, However, Can
Be Handled If Shippers Coop.
crate With Railroads.

The statistics regarding the freight
car situation on August l. which were
issued by the American Railway AS
ISOLATION this week, are the most ON
nous that, ever we're compiled for
the first week in August, says the
Railway Age Gazette in its current
issue,
They indicate clearly that unless
there Is some unexpected and radical
change in commercial, industrial and
transportation conditions the railways
and the shipping public will have to
deal this fall and winter with one OF
the worst shortages Of freight CARS
in the history Of the United States.
The gross car shortage reported on
August !, 1916, is the largest, the
gross surplus is the smallest and the
net surplus is the smallest ever re-
ported on that date since statistics re-
garding these matters have been kept.
The net surplus was only 1O.6l6 cars.
The smallest net surplus previously
reported on Augusta was that OF 1907.
which was 27,S3G cars, and in the fall
of that year there was a severe car
shortage, the net shortage rising on
October so. 1907, TO $4,000 cars.
Past experience seems to indicate
that whenever me net surplus IN the
early part of August is less than l0o,-
900 cars there is pretty sure to be q
net shortage beginning in October or
the early part of November. There
were only three years from 1907 to
1915, inclusive, when the net surplus
on August ] was less than this. These
we're 1907, 1912 and 1913, and in every
one of them there vas car shortage
in the late fall and early winter.
I'm view of the serious condition
which statistics indicate will exist
within the next few months unless
heroic treatment is applied. it De-
hooves the managers of the railways
aud the large shippers of the country
TO take steps at once toward the
adoption of some plan of cooperation
which will result in the car supply OF
the country being utilized in the most
efficient manner possible; There are
enough cars to handle the country's
business il only they shall be handled
with care and efficiency.

MORE ELECTION LAW TROUBLE.

Since the Supreme Court has de-
cldod that the presidential prefer
entail primary election Is unconsti-
tutional, the question has been rails
ed by Chairman Paul NAPLES OF the
Democratic executive Committee as
to the status Of the run-off primary
for the United States Senator. The
Courts hold In the presidential prl-
mary that the state shall not pay
the expenses Of such election and Mr..
NAPLES has asked the Attorney Cen
era to say whether or not the ex-
pense Of a second senatorial primary
comes under the same rule The dem
ocrals In State Convention declare for
a majority nomination and the leg
islature enacted law to that end,
but possibly 1t must suffer the same
fate OF the presidential law.

dates In the field 1t is hardly probable
that any one will get a majority Of
all the votes cast, and without sec

stomach trouble and nervousness. [ had

"Relief came, however, when I took
the advice of several women who said,
"Take tonoline.
"Not long after I started the tono-

HEADACHES
WITHOUT DOSING
By Applying Sloan's Liniment to
Forehead You Can Stop
the Severe Pains

Many headaches are of a neuralgia
origin. The symptoms of such head
aches are intense and lingering pains
in the brow, temples or back of the head.
There is one certain relief that has
been known and recommended for
years back, Sloan's Liniment. One
application and the dull pain is practi-
cally gone. 1t is easily applied without
rubbing. Rubbing is Unnecessary, as
Sloan's Lniment quickly penetrates to
the seat of trouble.
Aching muscles, rheumatism, bruises,
lumbago, chilblains, sprains and stiff
neck can also be most effectively treated
with Sloan's Liniment. Cleaner than
mussy plasters or ointments; it does
not stain the skin or clog the pores.
At all drug stores, 25c., Soc, $1.OO.
