CLAIMS IT CURED HIM
OF STOMACH CATARRH
Had Bad Cough Every Winter Till
This Year-His 10-Year-Old
Son Also Cured of Catarrh
of the Nose and Throat.

'Dreco has certainly fixed me up in
great shape" said Mr.. NJ K. Moore, of
Weyerton, Nd. For many years Mr..
Moore has been a conductor on the
B. & o. Railroad and is well known to
thousands Of the B. & o. men.
7 have taken six bottles OF Dreco
and It has done for me what many
other medicines have failed to do. My
stomach has been in a bad shape for
a long time. II seemed the delicate
Innings were all worn out, and every
thing ! ate caused me intense pain
and suffering, gas would form in great
quantities, sometimes so bad as to
press against my heart, and thought
II would stop beating. Every morning
1 would cough up mucus and also
pass it OF from my bowels. That, 1
knew, was what is called catarrh of
the stomach, and I had begun to
think I would never be well again
had taken lots of medicine and been
treated by one Of the biggest stomach
specialists in the country. but. got no
relief fr, m anything. There was so
much praise for the new root and herb
medicine, Dreco, I just decided to give
It fair trial SO bought three bottles
to begin on, and you can believe me
Or not, before I had finished the first
one I realized I had found something
that was going to benefit me. And
today I am here to state that 1t has
cured that Catarrh Of the stomach. I
can eat anything I want to without
the slightest after trouble. No gas
ever bothers me, no pains, there has
been no more mucus since the hrst
bottle was finished. 1 am feeling bet
ter than in years. Every winter 1
have always had a bad cough from
the first little cold spell till spring
came, but this year I have missed it,
and believe 1t was because Dreco had
built up my system so that 1 didn't
take cold as used to do.
Ny son, 10 years old, has had ca
tarrh of the nose and throat for some
time and / started him on Dreco and
IL has also cured him. and he Is looking
fine now"
Dreco contains heroaf medicine of
sort that seems to act directly upon
catarrhal conditions and in, some in
stances the results obtained are won
derfuL 1t also corrects constipation
and increases the appetite.
Dreco is sold and recomme nded by
all the ODonnell Drug Stores, Geo. B.

CAR PROBLEM
ATTACKED BY |. {. c.
Commission Orders Suspension of New
Tariffs Until June |.

The American railroads have been
Ioreed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO devise an entirely new means
OF relieving car shortage and congestion
al Dig terminals and seaports. The rail-
roads have been depending upon In
charges for storage to force shippers to
take their goods out of cars, storehouses
and elevators and expedite their move
menG
The commissions latest move is the
suspension until June of new tariffs re-
ducing from fifteen TO ave days the free
time allowed shippers at Atlantic ports
before demurrage rates apply.
Meantime the car shortage Is but little
relieved and the terminal congestion
grows 20 better. The only other remedy
which has been suggested is the enlarge
ment Of terminal facilities and the pur-
chsse Of more cars.

Christmas Eve In Camp.
There In no dream that could be half &c
sweet
On Christmas Eve - at twiusht-Just
to drift
To far-off lands through winters starlesr
beat.
Where, in a dream. one sees Times
curtains Mt
And show the old rememberd heart OF
home,
And as the drea,n drifts by. dim wrath
on wrath,
To anchor there--a straggler from the
foam
OF stormy seas that almost wreck
ones faith.
There ia no dream like this when dusk
swings low
on Christmas Bve-when from the
wintry gloom
Dim voices come and speak from long
ago.
Soft hands roach out--and from the bar.
Borne far by tender memories we leave
Across the night. as some lost soul Ia
sped,
until We reach once more the Christmas
Eve
We knew before the reeling world
turned red.
For now we know Just what the old life
meant.
Before the flags OF battle were un-
lurlcd
The peace OF home, the ease, the quiet
content
That must have been within another
world:
And none will ever know the broodIng
pain
Until his time has come, through wan
ing light.
At Christmas Eve, for arms that reach
In vain,
Or vanished voices blows Ncross the
night.
