U. S. MAY RUN ROADS
Considered Next Step. if Pooling
Program Fails. r.
Elisha Lee and w. A. Thompson on
Operating Committee of Vice
Presidents.

Washington, Nov. ADJOURNMENT
ownership of railways is not imminent,
though it is being discussed in every
conference that has to do with the
transportation. feature of the war.
Government operation of the roads.
however, looms as a very live posi-
bility of the near future. ...
The pooling arrangement just agreed
to by the railways themselves will be
tried first, but there are good many
people of authority in the matter who
have only partial faith in it's sue
cess The executive committee that is
to operate the pooled Eastern roads is
composed of the vice presidents of the
various systems.
Everybody gives them full credit for
the greatest patriotism and recOg-
niZeS that the pooling arrangement is
a sincere effort to give their best to
the country, but the point is made
that there will be a divided allegiance.
While trying to do their utmost for the
country they must think of the inter
ests of their stockholders. ...
The railroads are sure the recent
resolutions of the railroad war board
will answer all purposes, and will
actually solve the traffic problems en-
gendered by the war. If they are
right, the operation of the roads will
be left in the hands of the companies.
1t will not take long to determine.
The operating officers of the Eastern
roads met and created committee to
handle the railway pool. The men,
bership is as follows:
Vice President Thompson of the y.
& o., chairman,
c. r. Gray, president of the Western
Maryland. 80.
A. T. Dice, president of the PhiIa-
delphia & Reading. a.e
p. f. Crowley, vice president of the
New York Central.
Elisha Lee, acting vice president of
the Pennsylvania lines East. # I
G. L. Peck, vice president of the
Pennsylvania lines West. &c., .
A. J. Stone, vice president of the
Erie. .s. .,~ wa. -.
The committee is to have it's head
quarters at Pittsburgh, where the
next meeting is to be held on Wednes-
day. Thereafter the sessions are TO
be continuous, until the job is finished.
They are apparently prepared to go
the limit to meet the government
war demand, and it is certain that
this is the only way they can keep the
operation of the roads in private
hands.

Temperance
AssWdfeSH
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union,)
AGAINST ALCOHOL

'The medical profession has been
charged with being in favor of the use
of alcoholic beverages" says DR.. w. A.
Evans, former head of the heath de-
partment of Chicago. "The charge
cannot be sustained. Alcohol for in
ternal use rarely is prescribed by
physicians except when such prescrib-
ing is done for the purpose of evad-
ing some law. ...
Theoretically, alcohol is both a
medicine and food. So far as all
practical purposes are concerned, it Is
neither a medicine nor a food. Dis
cussing it as a medicine, alcohol be-
longs in a group in which there are
tropine, aconite, epinephrin and ex-
tracts of thyroid. These medicines
are so powerful that they are but
rarely used.
physicians know so little about the
mechanism of the sympathetic nerv-
Gus system, on which most of the eff
fects of these remedies are eXerted,
that none of them is liable to be gen
orally used within the next few years.
In the meanwhile, the Old-tlme uses Of
alcohol for medicinal purposes have
either been discontinued or else they
are condemned by the medical profess
sion. .s
"Alcohol once was used for consump.
ton. 1t is not used as cure for this
disease now. 1t once was used as a
remedy for blood neutrality-suspicious.

that it's use lessons the chance of re-
covery from these diseases. 1t once
was used as cure for colds and bron-
chitis and as a preventive of pneumo-

colds worse and it increases the chance
Of pneumonia.
ut formerly was used as cure for
snake bite. 1t is not so used now. 1t
decreases the bodily resistance TO

was to destroy the awful fear which
sometimes shocks persons who have
been bitten, and in that way indirectly
contributed to cure. &c.,.
"Alcohol formerly was used for
shock on the theory that it was a
stimulant. 1t is not stimulant. 1t
prevents fear and may in that way do
good; otherwise it does harm. Its use
in shock is being discontinued. Am
monia and coffee are taking its place.
"It is widely used for the discom-
forts of natural bodily functions. Ply
sicians condemn it's use for this pur-
pose as being unscientilc and harmful
There is a notion that gin is good for
the kidneys. There is nothing worse
for the kidneys than gin.
"Alcohol is disappearing from first
aid cabinets, physicians satchels and
hospitals. Within few years it will
disappear from that part Of drug
stores devoted to the filling Of pre-
scriptions."

THE EVILS OF ECHO.

A certain glen in Scotland had the
reputation of having splendid echo.
An English gentleman visited the
place and asked his guide about the
echo.
"Just shout Two bottle of whisky"

after waiting for several minutes he
turned to the Scot and said:
"But do not ear any echo"
Maybe no." chuckled the Scot, "but

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse.
Soup for Nourishment.

There are all sorts of soup, of
course. But they can be classed I'M
served for their food value and those
that are served for the psychological
or social value. That is to say, some
foods contains so much nourishment
that they are we'll worth while simply
because of their food value. Others
are appetizing, they put the digestive
organs in a receptive mood, they
warm and cheer us-but they lack
almost entirely real nutritive value.
Now it is a very dangerous thing
plan of economizing to anybody else.
Each housekeeper must work out the
best scheme and method of economy
for her own household. Hence, it
would be foolish to suggest that we
omit those soups that cheer, but do
not nourish. They possibly still have
a very good place in preparing the
digestive apparatus for the task of
digestion.
But in spite of the fact that such
as individual needs and conditions
make advisable, it is perhaps a sug-
gestion for good economy to serve
soups of real food value in these days
when we must give a bit more thought
than usual to the subject of the
amount of food value we can get for
our money
Remember, in serving very nourish-
ing soups, to serve other dishes not so
high in nutritive value-else the menu
would be overbalanced, and the heavy
soup would be more out of place than
the light one.
There are two ways of making soup
highly nourishing. One is to add
many vegetables, or barley or vermi-
celli to a meat stock. The other is to
add milk to a basic flavoring sub
stance.
Under the first head, of course
comes the soup made entirely of vege-
tables; usually the vegetable soup
contains a little meat stock, and this
is an admirable addition for flavor.
Either of the two types of soup
forms an admirable main course for
luncheon in warm weather. Cream
chicken soup. for instance, with corn
mullins and fresh fruit, would be
nourishing and satisfying. Vegetable
stock soup, with whole wheat bread
and butter, hot chocolate and flesh
fruit, would be another good COM
binatiOn.

course. In America, however, there
has been too strong a current against
the kellermann bathing suit to have
it adopted, except among group of
women swimmers who were in for
deep-sea work and not for beach
parade.
Our beaches here in this country
are so numerous and so splendid that
they have appealed to women who
care nothing for the water, but who
want to rest in the sand and sun.
Therefore, the beach frock, as it is
known, will be the smart thing of this
summer.
The sketch shows one that carries
out the new idea of covering up the
shoulders and arms. The material is
plum colored taffeta, and the high
collar, the armhole bands and the
cuffs are of white linen The buttons
are pearl, and the loose knickerbock-
ers are fastened in below the knee
with white bands.
Women who go in for the sun baths
on the beach are adopting this type of
frock for the morning hours, going
down to the beach after breakfast and
remaining until lunch.
