THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING
WASTE PAPER.

Waste paper of all kinds can be used
in making new paper or paper boards,
All the chip board from which ordinary
pasteboard boxes are made is manufac
turcd out of mixed waste paper scraps
gathered up in the stores and other
places Newspapers make better
grade Of board known as news board
Strong wrapping papers mixed with
sulphate pulp are used in making test
or strong chip board from which ship
ping containers of all kinds are made.
These are taking the place of wooden
boxes, thereby conserving the forests.
The fewer grades of waste paper
such as magazines, books, stationery
etc, are sorted out, reinked, and used
again in making books, writing and
othpr grades of paper. In making
of bonds and Esdgers, ETC., considerab-
lie quantity Of rags is necessary, the
supply of which is becoming very scarce
sad it is imperative therefore, that all
old rags be saved. Every household
should save all of its old paper and
rags as well as old rubber, leather, etc.
ana dispose of them to the school child
rem, Red Cross, Salvation Army, junk
men, or other collectors, so that the sup
ny may be kept adequate to meet the
demands of the government and other
essential uses.

Stomach Dead;.
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation of food, distress after eat
ing and Indigestion, and seek relief in
large chunks Of artificial digestors, are
killing their stomaehs by inaetion just
as seurely as the victim Of morphine

What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stomach,
put strength, energy and elasticity in
to it, and make it sturoy enough to di-
gest a hearty meal without artificial
aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere and by Dan'l j. Fry and is
rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion, or mon

This prescription is named Mi-ona,
and is sold in small tablet form in large

OPERATED BIZ AY-BURNERS'
Motive Power ef One of the Civil War
Railroads Was Primitive in
the Extreme.

The history of railway operation in
this country offers many curious and
interesting details. Among them none
are stranger than those that concern
the Memphis, Ell Paso & Pacific rail-
road, 40-mile line operated between
Marshall, Tex, and Shreveport, La,
during the Civil war.
The owner was John HigginsOn. He
had many titles: chairman of the
board, president, vice president, SUI
perintendent, trainmaster, rOadmaster,
freight and passenger agent, fireman,
conductor and master mechanic. The
motive power was of the best in those
days, and consisted of several yoke of
oxen, commonly known as "hay-burn-
ers." The oxen were, it is said, gen.
orally on time.
Mr.. Higginson ran his train on tri-
weekly schedule. When he had gath
cred up "cargo" and everything was
ready for the trip he loaded the oxen
into the first box car in the train. In
the next car he had put the freight and
the passengers, and in the third he
himself rode. The cars started down
the steep grade out of Marshall and,
after they had rolled as far as they
would Mr.. HiGginson set the brakes
and proceeded to unload the oxen and
hitch them to the coupling of the car.
Then he released the brakes and start
ed the train up the grade. At the top
the oxen were again loaded into their
car and another start was made down.
hill. BY repeating this operation sew
eraI times Mr.. Ei&ginsOn and his train
gould finally reach Shreveport.
The passenger rate was 25 cents q
person. Freight charges were any
thing the owner Of the line could get.
Since there was no competition, Mr..
Eiggins0n made money. All freight
was marked RED ball' and handled
is soon as received.
This, however, was not the first
oshay-burning'' railway in the United
States. Most Of the early lines made
use of animals. The Baltimore & Ohio
at one time employed horses to haul
freight and passenger trains over the
first Is miles Of track constructed
