Recommended by Physicians

The pale, nervous, always-tired type
of young business woman is a liability
both to herself and to her employer.
How the bright, laughing, energetic
type of girl is admired in business.
Her sunny disposition, enthuasium,
and general efficiency combine to
make her a valuable asset to her en-
ployer.
If the girl with the continually list
less, tired, and WORKOUT feeling would
only realize hat such a condition is
probably caused by poor i~mpoverish-
ed blood which can be easily improv-
ed, how much happier she would be!
After taking Pepto-Mangan for a

Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid

Mr.. Cummins' assertion that both
lie and members of the body believe
the classified personnel should par
ticipate in the management of the
roads, it may be assumed that the
plan will provide for labor repre-
sentation on whatever commission
or commissions Congress would give
power to control matters of rates,
services and wages. So long as cor
porations own the roads, it is obvi-
Gus that Congress would have no
power to force stockholders to elect
employees to boards of directors.
Therefore it is apparent that, if
workers are to be given a voice
in management under private own
ership as the committee desires,
their place to function will be with
governmental agencies having gen.
eral supervision over the carriers as
whole.
The suggestion is undeniably
sound. believes the Tacoma Ledger.
If regional boards are to be Gre
sted to have supervision over sys-
TENS created by the new program,
it would doubtless be fair to the
classified personnel as well as to the
best interests of the public that
the workers be represented on such
boards. and, if federal regulation
and control are to be centered in
the interstate commerce commission
OF some similar board, provision for
labor representation in such regu-
latory organization is likewise es-
sential to requirements of the times.
The big army of railroad work
ers have vast amount of practical
knowledge which would be found
invaluable to those having the well
fare of the roads in charge, and
their opinions deserve recognition
when their own interests are at
stake. Assured cooperation would
undoubtedly have a beneficial effec:
on the permanent solution of the
problem, which has been growing
larger year after year.

FAIRBANKS HAS
FUEL SHORTAGE:
AWAITING COAL

The coming of Nenana coal is
awaited eagerly by the people of
Fairbanks, according to George Mar
kus, head of the stores department
of the Alaskan Engineering COM
mission, who returned from a bust
ness visit to the upper town last
night on the steamer Carl White.
There is an acute shortage Of fuel
up river just now, he says, and
many of the miners on the creeks
are buying just enough wood to
last them until such time as they
can get coal from Ignite. The
Northern Commercial company ship
ped several hundred cords of wood
to the creeks to meet immediate re-
quirements
THE old town of Fairbanks looks

man this morning, and he was en-
thusiastic over the reception &C

conditions up the river" continued
Mr.. Markus, appear to be very
satisfactory. In fact, several of the
merchants reported receipts for Sep
TENDER, up to the goth of the
month, which were in excess of
those for the entire month a year
ago. A spirit of optimism prevails,
which is leavened by the hope that
cheap fuel, in the form of Nenana
coal, will solve their greatest prob
lem
The development of homesteads
adjacent to Fairbanks, Mr.. Markus
believes, has contributed largely TO
the prosperity and contentment of
Fairbanks, who now keep many
thousands of dollars in circulation
in the camp, which was formerly
sent Outside for vegetables and
feed. He reports an abundance of
oat hay for the entire camp, and
while the production of potatoes

About 1000 bushels of wheat will
be harvested this year, Mr.. Markus
learned, and he believes it to be
quite safe to predict that enough
grain will be produced within a few
years to meet all requirements. He
also learned of the installation Of
potato grader by the Farmers
association. This. he says, will
eliminate much dissatisfaction
among consumers, since it will keep
the little tubers out of the sacks.
Mr.. Markus went to Fairbanks
on Tuesday, by way of the Nenana-
Fairbanks line He rode to the end
OF, steel on the Nenana end. trav-
ersed the gap between steel ends
on foot, a distance of about II
miles at that time, and boarded a
speeder at the Fairbanks end OF
steel, reaching the upper town that
evening.
The work north of the river is
proceeding rapidly, he says, and he
was very favorably impressed by
the appearance Of the track, which
is remarkably level and true for
new line. At the rate steel is
moving now, there should be no
difficulty, in his opinion. in closing

COOPERATION IN MANAGE
MENT.

Senator Cummins, chairman OF
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee, in a recent statement on
plans for the solution of the rail-
road problem, makes it plain that
the committee is favorable to Civ
ing the employees a voice In the
management of the roads. The in
clination is in line with the gen
eral trend for cooperation between
employer and employee in virtually
every field of industrial endeavor.
1t bids fair to stem the tide of labor
unrest which is against the best
interests of employers, workers, and
the general public.
"My personal opinion said Mr..
Cummins, sis that the wage-earner
should be represented on the boards
of directors of the railroads. Ev-
cry member of the interstate com
merce committee believes that the
classified personnel should partiei-
pate in the management of the
roads. By including their spokes
men among the directors, their pc
culiar problems could be worked
out by those most concerned and
best informed.''
Continuing, Mr. Cummins said
the bill which the committee is
about to submit as a solution of
the country's future transportation
problem provides for ''private OWL
ership and operation promotes
consultations so that systems can
compete on even terms, and pre-
serves the relationship of employer
and employee for development in the
direction which promises most good
for those two classes, and for the
nation as a whole.
Just how the committee intends
to arrange for the development OF
wider cooperation on the part OF
the companies and the workers is
not explained But, judging from

enabling them to give a better serv-
ice and better rates to the shipper.
No doubt the steamship people have
their troubles, and we shall also try
TO ind means to economic in the

ance that a definite schedule of
sailings be established and main
tanned.

the Admiral line all called at

that none of them has any mail, as
that was sent North on the Prin-

government allow our government
to sponge on them for that serv-
ice? 1t is undigniied in our great
government, to say the least; but
the postoffice department will not
award a mail contract unless the
companies agree to a definite sched-
ule, and the companies say they
cannot do so on the rates the de-
partment will pay. But we must
get a definite schedule some way.

but the fact is they are developed
too much so far as salmon and
