HOBO SAVED HIS LIFE
And Bought About the Organization of a Prosperous Medicine
 Concern in Louisiana.

Hoboes are not usually considered very valuable members of society. But there's big medicine company in tn, South that owes it's existence to a hobo's knowledge of medicinal plants. And there are many men and women still enjoying the pleasure of living who probably would have died of Bright's disease had it not been for the medicine made according to the hobo's formula by the Hobo Medicine Manufacturing Company of Singer, La. Some of the cases treated, de tails of which are matters of record under oath, had been pronounced as hopeless by physicians. If you are interested in the story and also in fearing of wonderfully effective way of treating Briights disease and oth- CT bladder and kidney diseases, you ought to write to the Hobo Medicino Company and ask them to send you a free copy of their little booklet. It tells about the man who was con- demned to death. And how he didn't die. The hobo saved him-right out there in tho woods. The incident created considerable excitement in the neighborhood at the time. Write for the booklet-it's thrilling.-Adv.

BUSY TIMES FOR RAILROADS.

Every possible effort to movs grain. grain products and other fool supplies before winter sets in and 'ednces the efficiency of men and locomotives, is being made by the railroads of the country. They are entitled to great credit for the tre- nendous efforts they are putting forth--efforts that require careful planning ana the highest grade of ex- ecution.
 Of course. with every car being utll- ized to capacity, and always con stant stream of grain yet to be moved. there is a growing shortage of box and refrigerator cars. As consc- Guence, the necessity of not allowing empty cars to remain idle in side yttracks is obvious; and in this con. x fection shipping interests are cos21: &rating remarkably we'll with the roads to eliminate such waste.
 There is wonderful lack of loco. natives and cars in the shops of the railroads themselves. Railroad em' ,rloyes are given much credit for thls, it being due solely to careful hand ling Of rolling stock and eullipmen,, This time last year there were nearly 50,O0OC freight cars undergoing re- pairs, while this year there are only around 130.0O0, including those wait ipg repairs.
 In addition to this the railrcai- this year are handling 25 per cent more freight than they did last yea; and are doing it practically the same number of locomotives and cars. is being next to impossible to acquire additional rolling stock under pres ent conditions.

Washington, March 3l.-Four thous-
and manufacturing concerns in the Unit
ed States, employing hundreds of thous-
ands of workers, have offered to turn
their plants over to the navy department
in case of war. Almost as many more
companies, with like number OF EN-
ployes, have made similar offers to the
war department. The concerns range in
size from the smallest to the largest in
the country. One of the largest corpora
tions to offer TO manufacture govern
ment material is the Carnegie Steel com
pany. Some Of the companies are will
ing to let the government operate their
plants. Others will manufacture goods
at cost while few say they will do
work for the government at very small
profit Practically every industry is rep
resented in the lists OF the concerns
which are now being prepared by the war

WHAT PEACE LEAGUE PLANS.
Statement BY Ex-President Taft Makes
Clouded Features Clearer.

The purpose of the League to Enforce
Peace are so clouded at the present time
that the statement of ex-Gov. William
Howard TAFT, supporter of the league,
concerning the organizations aims will
be of particular value Mr.. Taft says:
"The break with Germany and the i'm.
minence of war furnish the strongest
arguments for the League to Enforce
Peace, and all who support the plan
should realize that they can now do more
effective work even than they have here
tofore. Preparedness is one of the watch
words OF the hour Our executive com
mittee has pronounced more than once
in favor of national preparedness to meet
all emergencies and pointed out the fact
that the plan it puts forward makes
preparedness a necessity The duty to
support the president in his foreign pol
icy is plain. The league has declared a
thousand times that it is not a stop
the-war movement, and has pledged
its support in the defense of civiliza-
ton and the rights of our citizens. The
reason we have protested against Ger
ruthless submarine warfare and
broken off relations with her is because
her conduct is subyersiye of any peace
that is worth having. As we are forced
into the war our sole purpose must be to
secure the right kind of peace after
the war, for ourselves and for the whole |
"a permanent ar-d righteous peace. This !
fact is fundamental to the whole situa-
ton and ought to be kept constantly |
before the minds of all people. We are |
for righteous and perma-
lent peace, and for nothing else whatso-
,ver. Preparation for such peace is the
most important part of preparedness.
rhe president has this strongly in mind.
f, through the growth of hatred and
he cry for vengeance, the world should
ose sight of its real purpose and come
o the end of the war not knowing what

very rapidly as the season progresses
In the game Thursday he pitched with
the same great skill which he has beer
showing major league fans during the
past four years.
al Shubert and Dick Loadman are
scheduled to box in Philadelphia next
Wednesday evening This ought to be
one of the better bouts of the spring, as
both men are going good at present,
Johnny Evers' shoulder slipped out of
joint in Thursdays game, but quick work
placed it back in the socket. 1t is feared
that it may keep him out of the game
for some time TO come, as it is the shout
der which troubled him last season.
j. Weldon Wyckof says that he viii
play no more basketball through the
winter months as it tends to form
muscle which binds his muscles in the
shoulder, and gives a pushing movement
TO the ball, which he is trying to elm
mate. Manager Jack Barry thinks very
highly of this same Wyckoff and is
spending a few strenuous moments try
ing TO get the Wilkesbarre boy to work
ing right. as Barry seems to think that
Wyckoff has the stuff which will turn
many a good team on the downward
path, after he gets to going right
Promoter George Tuohey has served
papers on Aberg, the giant wrestler, for
81 500 damages for breach of contract.
Ivan Linow believes that he can train
himself in a manner which viii give him
strength and skill to defeat Zybszko, the

cifist group in Congress will doubtless
seize upon the fairer phrases of the
speech to prove that Germany is not
seeking war with the United States
But Just as the speech convinced Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers that Ger
many is bent upon prosecuting the sub
marine warfare at all costs. so it has
convinced practically all the members of
Congress now in town who have been
wavering in their views. And it can be
stated with practical assurance that if
President Wilson asks Congress to recog
nize the existence of war or to declare
war. Congress by an overwhelming vote
will do so.
The only danger Of failure on the part
of Congress to act would result from
failure on the part of the president to
state in specific terms just what he
wished Congress to do. Congress is in
mood for war, but it wants a leader.
There appeared to be no uncertainty
among members of the cabinet before
they met yesterday as to what TO ex
pect from the president.
The conviction that war is now in
evitable brought forth opinions from
several of them that indicated an appre-
citation on the part of the administration
of issues involved in the war of even
greater and broader consequence to the
United States than the question of sub
marine warfare.
In other words, if the views of indi
vidual cabinet officers can be depended
upon as a guide, the administration has
at last come to the conclusion that the
future welfare OF the United States is
inextricably bound up in defeat of the
German government. Not only, admin
officials suggest with surprising
frankness. has the war shattered the idea
of American isolation from European |
but German intrigues have
shown clearly that the Prussian dream |
of world power was by no means limit
ed to the eastern hemisphere.
It was because members of the cabinet |
were saying yesterday that this phase
Of Americas interest in the war should
not be lost sight of that the impression
prevailed in many quarters that the
himself, in his address to Con-
sress, would lay some stress upon it.
In many ways since the war began the
state department knows the United
States has received warning that Ger
many if victorious means to crowd out
he Monroe doctrine in her search for a
comfortable place in the sun
