LIGHT LOADING
CAUSES CAR
SHORTAGES
National Railway Administra-
ton FrOmulgates A Circular
Calling Attention Of Shippers
To Need For Care In The
Matter.

The United States Railway Admin.
istration has promulgated a circular
with regard to loading cars that is
of vital interest to shippers, a copy OF
| which has been handed "The Oasis
by Mr.. 7. G. Wright, agent at No
gales; and it is reproduced as part
this article, as follows:
Minimum and small lot shipping
of all classes of freight, which was
resorted to by shippers following the
cessation of last years hostiities and
the subsequent removal of Govern
ment loading retrictions which had
had been in effect as war measure,
has resulted in many more cars being
used to handle the freight presented
for shipment than should actually
have been required for the trans
portation of that amount of tonnage
a shortage. of cars now exists and
grows more serious from day to day
"Without your assistance, the rail-
roads can not expect to provide cars
to move the enormous crops and pr
ductions being offered for shipment
and the hardships which are certain
to result from the congestion which
is the invariable result of a car short
age cannot be underestimated, and
for the purpose of relieving this con-
dition as far as may be possible, l
earnestly solicit your cooperation to
the following extent:
"Those of you who have seasonal
crops to move can help out greatly if
you will. without delay, advise me the
approximate amount of freight you
will require to be shipped together
with the closest approximate date
shipment is to be made. This will
permit of arrangements being made
to consolidate small lot shipments
where full car capacity shipments can
not be secured as we'll as afford this
Company greater opportunity for Sc
curing suitable equipment to fit the
shipments that no available car space
need be wasted.
"Other shippers can greatly assist
by making all available equipment
carry it's maximum load and further
soliciting the aid of their consignees
to the end that orders can either be
increased or the trade lot adjusted so
as to permit of consolidation of ship
ments and double loading.
"It is of national Importance at
this time that business conditions be
not affected in the manner which
would result if definite steps are not
taken to improve the condition above
referred Ito. Railroad Representatives
will gladly furnish you with any in
formation and assistance which may
be consistent, and, in turn, let us be
favored with your cooperation that
our service to you may continue un-
interruptedly."

Correct Lubrication
OF Tractors

1t goes without saying, of course,
that tractor must be operated cor
rectly in order to secure efficient re-
suits, 1t is just as essential that a
high quality lubricating oil of the cor

CINE be used. But correct fabrication
means something more than this-the
oil must be used in the right way.

compensation was introduced in the
United States in 1912, he declared the

law of relief in personal injury cases.

SAID. Explaining the workings OF the
present law he continued:
Adjustment is based wholly upon
loss of earnings and no claim is de-
feated or modified by fault on the
part of anybody as to the cause Of the
injury, the theory being that industry
has impaired or destroyed earning
capacity and it must share in the loss
sustained by the workman. Wherever
the law applied it was only necessary
to show that injury arose out of and
in the course of the employment and
the earnings of the workman at the
time of the injury, in order to establish
q claim for compensation.
'"This new system did not have a
very friendly reception either from en-
ployers or workmen. In nearly all
jurisdictions strenuous effort was
made to defeat compensation laws,

AT AGE OF ga
GAINS 20 POUNDS
MRS. L. e. SoUTTER FEELS LIKE
A DIFFERENT PERSON SINCE
TANlAC BUILT HER US.

'I have actually gained twenty
pounds and that certainly seems re-
markable for one of my age, as am
now sixty four" said Mrs. l.. r. Sout-
ter. residing at 1866 East 18th street,
Des Moines, Iowa, in relating her ex-
perience with Tanlac, recently.
'I had suffered so long anc so Sc
verely" she continued that I never
expected to get WELL, In fact, my case
had been given up as hopeless. Nine
years ago my stomach, liver ana kid
neys, commenced bothering me and
since that time I have suffered almost
beyond endurance. Finally I got in
such q bad fix that l could hardly
eat anything and the pains in my
stomach and back were so intense that
could not get any sleep or rest, No
treatment or medicine helped me and
life had become a burden.
AT last I got Tanlac on the advice
OF a friend and It has been a godsend
to me, for my troubles have been ov-
ercome and T am feeling like an en-
tirely different person. Why, BEFORE
I took Tanlac, was unable to go any
place, couldn't even walk across the
street, but since taking this medicine
| have been on n visit to South Da-
kota. have just returned home, and
nearly all of today I have been Gown
town shopping. am eating just any
thing I want and never have a pain
or an uncomfortable feeling after
wards. My liver and kidneys never
bother me any more, either, and as |
said, / have actually gained twenty
hounds in weight. I am feeling just
fine now, but If it had not been Ior
Tanlac would still be a sick woman.
So feel like ought to make a state
ment for the benefit of others who are
trying to find relief"
Here Is another instance of the
wonderful reconstructive powers of
Tanlac. Mrs. Soutter is only one OF
many thousands who have taken 1t
with the same remarkable results.
Tanlac proved OF great benefit to her
because It contains certain medicinal
properties which enrich the blood and
promote a healthy appetite for nour-
ishing food. Tanlac has been very
successful in overcoming nervousness
and sleeplessness, not from a quieting
effect on the nerves. for It has no such
effect, but by strengthening the nerves
and bringing back the normal state Of
health thru it's effect on the appetite
and nutrition of the body.

the federal amendment will not receive
enough support for its ratification.
The resolution Of the Iowa associa-
ton reads:
Believing that the attempt to force
woman suffrage upon an unwilling
people by means Of federal amend
ment Is perversion of the principles
of our national constitution. which
was wisely designed as an everlasting
safeguard of our individual liberties
but which would thereby be trans
formed into an instrument to destroy
those liberties:
and knowing as we do that a ma
jority Of the men Of our land are OPP

ing as we do that majority Of the
women Of our land are also opposed
to woman suffrage; .
And believing that the time will
come when these men and these wom-
en- will 80 express themselves that the
law makers of our nation will realize
that they are betraying the wishes OF
the people by voting in favor Of wo-
man suffrage;

Disappeared From Fort pes Moines
Another War Mystery.

Ottumwa, Dec. 2.-Daniel T. Ker-
ston, Of Ottumwa, who disappeared
from the Fort Des Moines hospital
several months ago, Is in Salt Lake
City, Utah. A wire was received
yesterday from the former soldier by
his mother. Mrs. Minnie Kerston. 1t
read: "Dear Mother: Sending letter
tonight. Will explain all. / am sorry
but you will understand when my let
ter reaches you. Let me know by re-
turn mail how you are
Daniel Kerston."
Kerston's mysterious disappearance
caused nation wide search by his
parents, officials at Camp Dodge and
the war department
He disappeared from the Fort hos
pital, where he had been taken with
pneumonia. some time between Dec. 4
and II. 1918.
For eleven months n vain search
has been carried on in an effort to
locate Kerston. 1t was thought for
long time that the signature on the
discharge papers granted to Kerston
on Dec. 90. 1918. were fraudulent ana
on orders from the adjutant general OF
the army investigation was opened by
the intelligence offices.
History Of Case.
Kerston entered Camp Dodge for
service and soon after was taken i'll
with pneumonia and was transferred
to the Fort hospital for treatment.
Here he recuperated and was trans
ferred back to tho cantonment on Dec.
5, 1918. for limited duty.
According to the Camp Dodge
records he never reported TO the COM
handing officer of the l6$d depot
brigade, to which he had been as
signed.
When he failed to write or return
to his home. an inquiry was sent 10
the Fort hospital by Mrs. Kerston and
she was told that her son had been
discharged. Later she was informed
that he had been sentenced TO Fort
Leavenworth. Investigation of the
latter proved TO be untrue, and when
the soldier still remained missing. Il
search was instituted. 1t was fouai
that duplicate OF his discharge had
been filed at Camp Dodge, bearing the
date of Dec. 16, 1918, but the original
at washington was dated Dec. ~.
1918.
The further the investigators went
into the matter the more they were
confronted with badly tangled mass
