Circus Has Good Home
When Winter Blasts Come

What becomes of the circus when
the cold winds blow and the snow
piles high on the old show lot?
; 1t is the circus fan that asks the
question and the circus fan Is a very
considerable part of the population of
nearly every city in the United States.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fan and the little Fans
see the parade and the performance
and their curiosity is aroused. In
tevery city the circus visits questions
are asked about the winter quarters.
| To those VINO haven't received salts
factory answers, the following may
be interesting when the Barnum and
Bailey circus shows here May 2t.
At the end of the circus year, gen
orally about November Is, from every
pai% OF the country long trains of
tlreS animals and human beings are
hnding their way into the haven of
their winter quarters, there to pass
hVe months in recuperation and
preparation for the next season. A
few small circuses take no winter
vacations, but spend the winter
months touring some warmer country.
The Barnum and Bailey circus, how
ever, always spends it's winters in it's
pig quarters at Bridgeport, Conn.,
which has been it's home ever since it's

ner; At that, there are several hum
dred at work during the winter
months, and the payroll, even when
the show is off of the road and not
earning, money, totals quite a stag
gerlng amount.
The most important work of the
winter consists of rebuilding the
wagons and railroad cars for the next
season. and the preparation of an en-
tife new set of canvases to shelter
the show-for the Barnum and Bailey
circus uses entirely new tent equip
ment every year. More than 100 men,
many of them professional sail maxi

the entire winter.
In the wagon shop every piece of
equipment is thoroughly examined and

and painters are at work on the

ters until it is ready to leave again.
In the car shops, the master of trans
portation has gang of men working
daily on the eighty-nine cars that
compose the four trains that haul the
circus from coast to coast during the
summer. Every wheel and every
truck is tested, and of course, the cars
are thoroughly redecorated. both in

NEW AMERICAN RACING
CAR HOLDS MUCH PROMISE

During the coming season a surpris-
ing American racing car will be en-
tered in the foremost speed events
and piloted by Barney Oldfeld. So
far as practical considerations have
permitted, all efforts have been
made, IN designing the body, to re-
duce air resistance. The result close
ly approaches the ideal in stream
line and makes the racer distinctive
in appearance. Exposed parts, such
as the front axle, tie rod and start
ing crank support, are individually
streamlined. Back of the motor, the
entire chassis, frame, springs and
all, is covered. Entrance to the body.
which is completely inclosed. is
gained through large doors provided
on either side. Practically unob-
structed vision in every direction is
afforded the driver and mechani-
elan by narrow, elongated openings
screened and so placed as not to per-
NIT an Objectionable draft to sweep
through the interior. The compart
ment is. heavily upholstered with
tufted hair and leather to S protect
the occupants in case of spill Con-
sistent lightness was aimed at
throughout, and the car, although
powered with 139-hp. motor.
weighs under 1900 pounds. A speed
of three miles minute is hoped for.
A picture of the car appears in the

approximately $20,000,000. and had
eliminated a section authorizing the
secretary of agriculture to order the
immediate sale of any food in such
condition that unless promptly dis
posed of it will become unfit for use.
The section will be incorporated in
a coming third measure which is to
confer broad powers on the Council

NEW METHOD OF TEST
ING DAIRY-CALF FOODS

An unusual series of experiments
was conducted recently at Purdue
University to determine the nutri-
tive value of skim milk and milk
substitutes in feeding dairy calves.
The Popular Mechanics Magazine
gives an interesting account OF these
tests. Instead of relying solely upon
tabular records, individual photo
graphs We're taken of each of the
trial animals, showing their general
appearance and development at reg
nlar 3O-day intervals during the
tests. Thirty calves of three different
breeds were used in the experiments,
these being divided into three lots
and fed three distinct rations for a
period of 160 days. At the end Of
each thirty days the calves were
photographed under the same con-
ditions. The camera was placed on
a stationary support, at the same
height and distance for each expo

convenient platform, with a back

squares. The Back ground was black
or white according to the general
color of each calf. In this way the
development of j.. each animal was
clearly shown by the photographs
and the merits of the respective ra-
tions could be judged.

Move More Freight
Through Cooperation

How the cooperation OF the ship
ping public made possible a saving
Of more than 5000 freight cars. in
single month, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad lines east of Pittsburgh and
Erie, Is strikingly shown by a re-
port on freight car loading, which
has been compiled for the month
Of July.
As a result OF the campaign to
make freight cars do more work, and
Of the willingness of shippers to aid
in this direction. the average load
carried per car in July of this year
was 33.51 tons. In July, 1916, the
average load was 29.57 tons. This ef-
fected a saving of slaes cars in the
number required to handle the traffic
of the Pennsylvania Railroad lines
East, during July.
The saving achieved by this CO.
operation on the part of shippers
not only enabled the Pennsylvania
Railroad to handle a much larger
amount OF commercial business than
would otherwise have been possible.

Greenville. S. c., Macon, Ca. and

ter city that the Fort Riley national
cantonment is located, and there are
National Guard encampments near the

rectors Of the Red Cross Bureau of
Camp Service have been made the
business agents OF the units.
In each of the fifteen cities where
Red Cross sanitary unit has been
requested and furnished. the unit CO.
operates with the Public Health Sery-
ice, the State Board Of Health and

Senators Poindexter, Pomerene and

nomination without further investi-

afterward that the opposition Of the
Senators was principally because they
desired more detailed information as
to the testimony against the officer.

whether those who believe in him
will be able to force thruogh the
nomination at this session Of Con-

POWER IN DEALING
WITH CATARRH

in when the lungs become af-
fected. In fact, dreaded consump-
ton, in many cases, could be pre-
vented if Catarrh was properly
treated in time.
The reason why Catarrh cannot
be cured by local applications OF
sprays, douches, ointments, salves
and other locally applied, remedies
alone, is because it is a blood dis
case, and comes from millions OF
| tiny Catarrh germs which find
lodgment in the blood. Unless
the system is in such perfect con-
dition as to be able to throw them
off, these germs multiply rapidly
until the blood becomes thorough
ly infected with them.
The irritation of the membranes
and air passages, which become
stopped up and make it difficult
to breathe, are only manifesto
tons of the trouble, and not the
disease itself. The germs make
their attack on these delicate
parts OF the body because here
they find the least resistance, and
hence they can easily set up their
work of destroying the tender
tissues. The use of sprays and
douches only unstop the accumu-
lations in the air passages, which
very promptly reappear.
This explains why victims of
Catarrh have to use local treat
ment so constantly. Catarrh can
only be reached by a remedy
which goes down to the source
of the disease-the blood. S. S. S.
has proven its value in the treat
ment of this disease, because if
is an unequaled blood remedy.
which drives impurities from the
blood and cleanses it of disease
germs.
S. S. S. is guaranteed to be
purely vegetable, has been on the
market for fifty years, and is sold
by druggists everywhere. 1t has
a wonderful record for combating
blood disorders, and you should
begin today taking it for your
Catarrh. The Medical Director
will gladly give you advice as to
additional treatment, without
charge. Write him full informa-
ton about your case, and he will
tell you just what you should do.
