Oil Used by Railroads.

A decided increase in the use of petro-
leum as locomotive fuel by the rail
roads of the United States in 1916 is
shown by statistics compiled under the
supervision of John d. Northrop and
just published by the United States geo
logical survey, department of the inte-
rior.
Reports submitted by 50 railroad COM
panies, comprising all that operate oil
burning locomotives in the United States,
show that the quantity of oil fuel so
consumed last year was 42,l26,4l7 bar
rels, gain of 5,477,95l barrels, or I5
per cent, over the consumption in 1915.
This increase shows the steady expan-
sion in the United States of the market
for low-grade petroleum from Mexico
rather than any appreciable increase in
the use as fuel of low gravity crude oils
from domestic sources, whose value for
refining is just beginning to be recog
nized

MANY PLACES GUARDED.
Burlington Property Is Thought in Posi-
bic Danger.

Burlington, April Burlington and
its environs are well protected from ir,
responsible persons who might desire to
do some harm in this the nations crisis
For the past six weeks Superintendent
Kidder of the city water department has
had the reservoir and pumping station
guarded constantly. 1t is probable that
in a day or two details from the First
Vermont infantry will take the place of
the city employees, who are now doing the
duty in eight hour shifts,
All railroad bridges and the tunnel
are also under guard. 1t would be a
dangerous proposition for anyone to at
tempt any destructive work in this line.
At the gas house and the power sta
ton at the gorge are more guards; and
in fact all property of general utility
is guarded at the present time. Through
the islands all of the watchmen's shacks
are occupied.
Such concerns as the American Wool
en- company and other manufacturers Of
goods for the allies have been amply
guarded before. Among these is the
Horatio Hiekok company, which is max
ing rifle boxes.

Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Effective as a Remedy
for Constipation

Among older people the various organs
of the body have a tendency to slow up
and weaken, and this is usually first
manifest in a pronounced inactivity OF
the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regularity
in this important function; whenever
there is the slightest indication of con
stipation mild laxative should be taken
to relieve the congestion and dispose of
the accumulated waste. Cathartics or
purgatives should not be employed, how
ever; these are too violent in action and
their effect is only temporary
A mild laxative, such as the comhina-
ton OF simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, is the ideal remedy. 1t is gentle in
its action, bringing relief in an easy,
natural manner without gripping or other
pain or discomfort, is pleasant to the
taste, and can be obtained in any drug
store.
Mr. Robert LeForgee, 9lS kirkwood
boulevard, Davenport, Iowa. says he has
always had bottle of Dir. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin in the house for the past
eighteen years, and that by using il oc-
casionally as the need arises, and in this
way keeping his health good, it has pro.

CONSERVE BREEDING ANIMALS.
Is the Message from James Wilson, For
mer Secretary of Agriculture.

Washington, ID. G., April l0.-Conser.
Walton OF breeding animals as the means
to possible increase of the country
meat and food supply was urged here to.
day by James Wilson, former secretary
Of agriculture, in an address at a special
meeting OF the National Agricultural So
eiety, OF which he is president. Mr.. Will
son stated that the east and south are
many strides ahead OF the west in the
provision OF farm land.
Our country" said Mr.. Wilson, ''is
growing in population rapidly.by natural
increase and by immigration. There will
be more mouths TO feed in the near fu-
ture and it is imperative for us to take
care of our soil SO that it may produce in
an increasing ratio to meet our increas
ing demand.
1T cannot be said that greater ca
paeity to grow crops is evident SO long
as 40 per cent of our farms are rented
to faruiers who sell their grains and for
age crops to the deterioration of the
soil These farmers have not the means
IL stock their farms with livestock that
should consume the grains and forage
crops grown, i'll this way, not only main
tanning the fertility of the soil, but in
ereasing the meat product which has
been decreasing very materially, causing
higher prices because of growing scarcity
and increasing demand.
THE older settled localities of the east
and south are realizing the Importance OF
preventing soil deterioration; but the
lands of the west are suffering from in
considerable management that is begin
ming to tell in our reduced totals in
harvest times.
AT the present moment there should
go forth a message to the American
farmer to conserve his breeding animals,
or if possible to increase them for the
double purpose of maintaining his soil
fertility and increasing oru meat supply
for the future"

Healthy Skin
DEPENDS ON KIDNEYS.

The skin and the intestincs, which
work together with the kidneys to
throw out the poisons of the body, do
a part of the work, but clean body
and healthy one depends on the kid
neys. If the kidneys are clogsed with
toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness
in the knees in the morning on arising,
your joints seem rusty" you may have
rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff
neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet,
or neuralgia pains-all due to the uric
acid or toxic poisons in the blood. This
is the time to go to the nearest drug
store and simply obtain soc. package
of Anuric, the discovery of DR.. Pierce
Of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink cup of
hot water before meals, with an Anuric
Tablet, and notice the gratifying results.
You will find Anuric more active than
