Pennsy to Load Cars
to Maximum Capacity

With the statement that the load
ing of freight cars to their full ca
pacity would be equivalent to adding
100000 cars to the service of the
roads of the country, the transporta-
tion department of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad is distributing a PAM
phlet showing how freight hence
forth will be loaded into cars to their
full capacity.
Through cuts it is shown how ship
ments of sugar will be increased
from 100 barrels to 244 barrels by n
method of stacking the barrels ia
the full extent of the cars. In the
handling of salt, oil, cotton, fertilizer
and other commodities the ordinary
carload will be increased virtually
$50 per cent. Shippers are being en-
couraged to use maximum carload in
the future and, wherever possible, to
combine shipments to save space.

Free Prescription Can BE Filled At
Any Drug Store and Given Secretly.
Fl. j. Brown, a Cleveland man,
was for many years a confirmed
drunkard. His friends and relatives
despaired of ever redeeming him.
His sister sought the best medical
men in Europe in the hope that she
might find something which would
cure him. Finally she was recon-
mended to an eminent chemist, who
gave her a private formula (the
same as appears below and told her
how to use it. She had it filled at
the drug store and gave it to him
secretly. The results were startling.
In a few weeks he was completely
cured. That was over eight years ago
and he has not touched drop since.
He now occupies a position of trust
and is enthusiastic in his efforts 70
help others overcome the liquor
habit. He feels that he can best do
this by making public the same
formula which cured him. Here is
the prescription: Go to any first
class drug store and get prepared
tescum powders. Drop one powder
liquid. 1t is harmless, tasteless,
odorless and cannot be detected. You
can use it without the knowledge of
anyone. A lady who recently tried
it on her husband reports: MY hus-
band was on a spree when | got the
powders, and he usually stays drunk
from three to four weeks at a time.
After putting the powder in his coffee
for four days, he sobered up and has
not taken a drink since, and says he
is through with it forever. He also
