The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages. and that is Catarrh. Catarrh being a con stitutonal disease, requires consti- tutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's curative powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi- monials.

workers with the railroads should cooperate to prevent this great loss; and we are confident that so far as the railroad employees are concerned. the reminder will make them doubly anxious to avoid the losses wherever it is humanly possible to do so.
 The killing of stock on rail roads should be reduced to the absolute minimum during the continuance of the war.

A soldiers daily meat ration at present costs, averages 16 cents or approximately $5 per month. and the .wastage reduced to dollars and cents would buy meat for an army of l,5OO. 0OO men for one month.
 If 121 ,596 head of stock were loaded into railway cars. it would require 2. .105 cars, or 84 trains and if the cars were all coupled together into one train, that train would be IF miles long. Statistics indicate that the ma jor percentage of causes for the stock getting on the right of way are;
 Farm gates left open;
 Struck on public and private crossings;
 Struck within town and switcf limits.

was contained the following ad- vice on how
 This Economic Waste Can Be
 Reduced"
 Owners of stock keeping their animals in fenced enclosures and not permitting their stock to roam at large on railroad right of-wav;
 Town officers passing ordi- nances prohibiting the practice of permitting stock to roam at large:
 Superintendents, roadmasters and section men making a per sonal appeal to the owners of stock to keep their animals in fenced enclosures;
 Engineers taking every pre- caution within their power to avoid striking stock and never failing to report stock seen on right-of-way;
 Section men driving stock off right-of-way. keeping farm gates closed, and fences and cattle guards in good repair; giving preference to locations where Ii, ability of stock getting on right of-way is greatest;
 Newspaper editors presenting this important matter to the pub lie through the press;
 Everyone making a persistent, personal effort to bring about de, sired results.
 This is a matter in which rail road trainmen and all citizens are vitally concerned. The one set of persons (trainmen) can try not to strike stock; and the other set of persons (the pubiic) can prevent live stock from ven turing on the right-of-way. The Government looks to every citizen and every munich pal or other public body for aid and assistance. It asks for sol diers and for food. It doubly de- inands doing away with this neediess waste so far as 1t comes rom carelessness on either hand, since doing so will feed our army ll,500. 600 mem next year for one month.

JANIToR HEAD FIRED-HEARST
PRINTS STORY BEFORE
IT HAPPENS
Hearst's Chicago Evening Ameri-
can pulled a queer scoop yesterday
it published the story of Robert
Simms' dismissal as City Hall janitOr
two hours before he was fired. 1t
must have been that the Evening
American reporter is endowed with
the faculty of reading the future, or
perhaps the mayors secretary, Char
lie FitzmOTTis, was running behind
schedule.
Sfmms was fired just after his
union had called a strike at Ginger
bread HaI-the w. R. Hearst Office
building, Madison and Market SITS.
Simms was not fired by the mayor,
the council committee on public
buildings, the superintendent, engi-
neer or caretaker of the building, but
by Charlie Fitzmorris, the mayors
secretary.
When Carter H. Harrison was
mayor Charlie FitzmOTTis was under
stood to be Hearst's personal repre-
sentative on the mayors staff. When
Big. Bill Thompson succeeded HaTTi-
son as chief city executive he did an
unprecedented thing and held over
Hearst's man, FitzmOTris, Democrat,
in the office of secretary to the
mayor.
Simms and K. Berlinsky, who is
president of the Office Janitors'
union, were called before Fitzmorris
Thursday afternoon. They were told
they would have to quit either the
union or their City Hall jobs. Sims
quit his job. Berlinsl1y, it is said, de-
cided his job as night foreman of

COAL FAMINE THREATENS WITH
MERCURY 2 BELOW ZERO
The city's coal supply is the low
est it has ever been. Peoples Gas
Light & Coke Co. reports its supply
so low that there soon will be no gas
unless relief is obtained. Seven swell
apartment buildings housing over
100 families in Hyde Park were cold
today because there was no coal for
the furnaces.
Coal men blame the railroads for
not getting coal here and railroads
say there is lots of coal in Chicago,
but that coal dealers are simply
working a game to get another boost
in prices.
City, state and federal authorities
have been appealed to, including
Gov Lowden, Dist Atty Clyne, con-
gress and the interstate commerce
commission.
