Railroad Administration Giving
Careful Consideration to Nee
essary Measures.
EXPECT GREAT WHEAT YIELD
Tonnage Of Grain viii Exceed That
OF Last Year by Large Margin
May Try Permit System
Again.

Washingron.-The railroad admins
tration is giving careful consideration
to the measures necessary for the sat
isfactOry transportation of the antici-
pated large crops Of grains, according
to statement authorized by Walker
u. Hines. director general of rail
roads. The department of agriculture
has estimated that the yield Of winter
wheat will exceed 9O0,OOO,OOO bushels.
fair estimate Of the yield of spring
wheat apprOximates 3OO,OOO,OO0 BUSH
els. The total yield of wheat this
year will In all probability exceed the
total Of last year by from three to
four hundred millions of bushels. No
estimate Of other grains Is, of course,
possible at this time, but, barring
unusual climatic conditions, 1t can per-
haps be properly expected that the
tonnage In grain that will be pro-
duced this year will exceed that of
last year by a considerable margin.
The stable price fixed last year by
the government on wheat naturally
provoked a desire on the part of the
producer to realize his earnings as
quickly as possible, and since stable
price has again been fixed by the gov
eminent for this years crop IT Is as
sumed IA similar condition will obtain.
Last year this economical condition,
coupled with more or less disarrange-
ment In ocean tonnage and consequent
disruption in shipping, resulted in
such an acute situation at the interior
grain markets and at seaports, that 1t
became necessary to install the So
called permit system" which was
early made operative at the ports, and
In September. 1918. at the principal in
terror markets.
Controlling Traffic.
The permit system is highly bene-
fetal system of controlling traffic at
the sources to prevent serious conges-
ton on the road and at destination.
This system prevented i'm the fall of
1918 serious transportation paralysis
Of former years due to widespread
congestion of traffic which had been
shipped but which could not be dis
posed of at destination. This paraly-
sis of traffic in former years was most
apparent In the East. but its injuri-
Gus effects were felt throughout the
country.
While the permit system at the
ports is still In operation, it was sus-
pended few months ago at the in
terror markets, due to improved ocean
shipping and the fact that the bulk of
the grain had been moved. 1t is. how

the grain control committees at each
market, and in view of the very COM
prehensive data and information In
their possession as to storage facill-
ties, anticipated movements out OF
markets, the needs of different sec
lions Of the country, not only as to
wheat but as to other cereals that now
coincidentally with wheat, etc., were
of invaluable aid in the accomplish
ment Of the permit system with
minimum economic disturbance. The
same character Of assistance Is being
arranged for from the grain corpora
ton, or the wheat director, in antici-
patton that 1t will be necessary to re-
inaugurate the permit plan within the
next one or two months.
The wheat director Is as vitality In
terested as the railroad administration
that the grain tonnage shall be han
died with the least possible friction as
between all interests concerned. and
is in entire harmony with the railroad
administration as to the plans pro-
posed in that direction.

General Pershing's War Map.

be covered with the identical lineoleum
that was background for the map.
The map was brought over In pieces

Plan Moving of
Big Grain Crops

ever, to be expected that the system
will again be inaugurated with the
opening Of the new wheat season, and
In view of that possibility the railroad
administration Is already preparing
the necessary machinery so that IT
may be prepared to act without delay
at the proper time. Conferences
have already been held with represent
atives Of the grain corporation.
AS graphically illustrating the ne
cessity of regulating the transporta-
ton of this tonnage, and the results
obtained from such regulation, the fol-
lowing facts are of value and interest
Ing For the nine months of the crop
year, July /, 1918, to May I. 1919, there
passed through the grain handling fa-
cilities of the country-elevatOrs and
mills-a total of 3,44O, 236, 900 bushels
of all grains, although the highest
point Of grain storage of all kinds at
any one time in that period was 49,
100000 bushels. That is, in nine
months the flow Of grain was seven
times the quantity which accumulated
In storage at the highest point during
that period. This is direct illustra-
ton Of the necessity of keeping the
grain-handling facilities Of the coun-
try liquid to avoid the distress to all
interests that would follow the block
ing of this flow of grain.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
ions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large.

Most Deadly of
All War Gases

later known as "methyl," because the
latter name meant nothing to curious
persons, was being manufactured by
the war department at the rate of ten
tons day when the armistice came.
The gas Is being variously described
as ''the climax of the cOuntry's
achievements in the lethal arts" and
as 1.-The most tevible instrument of
manslaughter ever conceived" The
department itself declares that 1t is
the most deadly of all war gases.
Most Deadly Of All.
1t Is said that ten airplane loads of
'methyl" would have been sufficient to
destroy all life in Berlin, If such ex-
IRENE measures had been necessary.
and that a single days output would
have been sufficient to snuff out the
100000 human lives on the island of
Manhattan.
This gas was not only discovered by
Professor Lewis, but was also devel-
oped by him to point where it was
ready for production at the American
university while those laboratories
We're still under the control of the bu-
reau of mines, one of the organizations
of the department Of the Interior
When this work was first taken up by
the bureau In behalf of the military
authorities Professor Lewis was called
from his civilian duties as professor of
chemistry at Northwestern university,
Evanston, ILL.,. and at the request of
the bureau was commissioned as cap
tain in the ordnance department and
assigned to the gas warfare service of
the bureau OF mines. While acting in
this capacity Professor Lewis dscov-
cred and developed this gas, and IS
days after the gas work of the bureau
diction of the war department an IL
acre plant for its manufacture was
started near Cleveland, q.
"Mouse Trap" Plant.
This plant, which was dubbed by the
workmen the mouse trap" because,
in order to prevent the leakage of in
formation, 1t was understood that the
men who entered would MOI leave un,
til the war was over. was In Operation
within miraculously short time, and
plans were made by the war depart
ment to have 1900 tons Of this most
diobolfcal gas at the American front
by March !, 1919. When the armistice
came the plant was well ahead of its
production schedule, but the opportu-
nifty had not come for the use of the
gas ut the battle front.

The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.

In sterile bottles.
1t 10 the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful In the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have

 Filipino people. They put into effect the
 measures which were needed to secure
 the stable government upon which our Independence w&s to be based. Another reason for not discussing independence
 was that the people felt that they should do nothing and gay nothing which n1fgh embarrass the United States during tha war The Filipino people are happy to day. They are happier than ever beforS in the history of the country. They are ccntented and are accomplishing much But that they are happy does not mean that they would rather live under the present form of government IL does not mean that they are so grateful to the government that they would live under it | always.
