RAILROAD DEFICIT
STEADILY GROWING
Administration Is Rolling Up
Heavy Shortage During
Federal Control.
Special Despatch to TIE suN.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--The Railroad
Administration is rolling up larger and
larger deficit for Government operation
OF the railroads. Figures on operating
revenue and operating expenses soon TO
be made public by the Administration
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion show net revenues for February OF
s37,000,000 below the rental guaranteed
10 the Government by the roads. The
deficit for January was $4,000, 900,
making total for the two months Of
S7S,000.000 and bringing the total deficit
under fourteen months OF Government
operation to $4,000. 900.
The actual Government rental is $751;
100000 a month, but the standard re-
turn upon which II is based is used for
purposes Of comparison. as earnings in
January and February are generally the
lowest during the year. Figuring upon
basis OF the actual rental accrued and
due the railroads, the total deficit is
1925. 200, 900.
The net operating income for last Feb
ruary was the lowest of any recent year
even dropping below the net earnings for
February, 1918. when the railroads were
in the worst condition in history as a
result of traffic congestion and the I'M
usually severe winter.
Advance figures from the reports to
the commission indicate net operating
income for February. 1919. OF S10.150,-
900, or $2,225. 900 less than that of Feb
ruary, 1918.
While freight trafric fell of 1915 per
cent, compared with last year. higher
rates ran the total operating revenues up
to $350.s44, 900, an increase of 81 per
cent. The great increase in cost of labor
and materials raised expenses under a
smaller volume of traffic ~ per cent to
s323.235. 900, and left a net revenue OF
SGT 500. 900, or a decrease OF per cent.
and a net operating income OF s10,0I5,-
00o decrease Of II per cent

trades in May corn exceeding $4,000
bushels continued to handicap the bulls

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drlnk
more water.

II ron must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally. says a noted authority who
tells Us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with duh misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach souFs,
tongue is coated and when the weather
ia bad you have rheumatic twinces. The
urine gets cloudy, full OF sediment, the
channels often get sore and lrritated,
obliging you TO seek relief two or three
time during the night.
10 neutralizo these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass or
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
TO flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to ncutralize the acids IN urine,
SO it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
| lure. and makes delightful effervescent
