Will Fight Annulment OF
SeaShOre Excursions

The announcement that the West
Jersey & Seashore Railroad had APP
piled to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for permission to cancel the
dollar seashore excurs ons and hat the
Atlantic City Railroad would make a
similar application has aroused a storm
of protts along the coast.
Every seashore resort from Atlantic
City to Cape May is affected by the
proposed change and disaster stares
these communities in the face ifNthe
excursions are Withdrawn. The an
nouncement came so suddenly, and for
the most part unexpectedly, that the
public was totally unprepared for it.
Cancellations of certain express trains,
which bad previously been announced
had been accepted as n of the inevi-
table phases of the hardships of war,
but the proposed Withdrawal of the
dollar excursion trains is a step further
than it was expected the railroads
would take.
r. p. Risley, of Stone Harbor, speak
ing of the situation this week, said:
The intentions Of the Reading rail-
road, with regard to this matter, were
Known to us over two weeks ago as an
official had advised us that such a plan
was pending. We had hoped, how
ever, when Government control of the
railroads was announced, that the pro-
posed change would not be asked for.
1t seems, however, that the railroads
went right ahead with their plans for
withdya wing the dollar excursion SER
vice regardless of the hardship that
will be worked to the coast resorts.
The situation is critical. The dollar
excursion trains brought the largest
number of passengers of any train to
our seashore com munity. The cutting
off of this dollar excursion business
will paralyze the trade of u commu-
mites. Every hotel, restaurant and
amusement business will feel the eff
fects of it. The fishing excursions
from Anglesea and Cape May will
amount to nothing this summer, while
the inside and pier fishing advertised
by other resorts will be hit just as hard.
Every effort must be made to prevent
the annnulment of the excursions and
TO keep the fare at Sl.00 instead of
raising it to 81. so as is planned, should
the excursion be restored,
A conference was held Wednesday at
the Philadelphia office of Baker
Brothers. at which Messrs. Philip and
Thompson Baker, of Wild wood, and
r. P. Risley, of Stone Harbor, talked
the matter over and decided on a plan
of action.
MI. Risley has arranged TO secure a
copy of the petition to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, filed by the
railroad, which is the first step to be
taken. With this petition in hand
Thompson Baker will be prepared to
file a protest. Philip Baker will com
municate with Director General Nc
Adoo by telegraph protesting against
the proposed change. Leading citizens
of other resorts are urged to telegraph
their protest to Director General Nc
Adoo, as we'll as to Senator Freling-
huysen and Congressman Bacharach.
A meeting of the Wild wood Board
of Trade was held Tuesday night at
which the proposed change was vigor-
ously denounced. The matter will be
formally taken up by the Chamber of
Commerce at its meeting at Ocean
City Thursday evening, January 18th,
at the city hall.

The Aftermath
Of Influenza

In The Pennant Of N. d. A. n. A. for
November you will find the follow
ing: "One Of the chief chafacrer-
istics OF the present epidemic is its
facilitating effect on the system. The
virus, whatever it may be, seems to
strike at the very citadel of our
strength and general weakness is the
result. This explains why so many
fall victims to other diseases imme-
diately following the acute sattack.
influenza has very few deaths to its
credit, but 1t is the aftermath of
pneumonia and tuberculosis that are
to be dreaded" This is what should
be guarded against by getting your
system back in a proper and healthy
condition. The toxin or poison in the
system must be eliminated and there
is nothing superior for this purpose
to the eliminating bath and general
treatments as used at the Nelson
Sanitarium. We have now practiced
here in Fargo for ten years with gem
eral satisfaction, and you viii find
IL you take some Of our treatments

system and you will feel like new
