WILL RAILROADS
WORKERS
TO SAVE MONEY?
F Financial Journal Authority
for Statement That This
Plan Is Contemplated

Reports from many railroad cen
ters show that the managers are
reducing operating expenses because
of declines in traffic. A year ago
the abnormal weather combined with
a shortage of help and an abnormal
movement of freight tonnage and
heavy troop movement resulted in
"the worst congestion that the rail
roads have ever experienced" says
a writer in The Wall Street Jour
nal.
The reverse is now. the case.
No congestion exists in the Penn
sylvania railroad where traffic is
moving freely and there is less of
it. Heavy movements of munitions
from the Pittsburg district have
stopped. AS there is less traffic, SO
there is need of less men to handle
it. The retrenchment program is go
ing right down the line" Heads
of all departments have been asked
to "cut to the bone
In January the retrenchment pro-
gram so far as betterments and inn
provements were concerned was put
into effect, when work on improve
ments amounting to $10,000,O00 on
the Pennsylvania alone was stopped.
In purchases, also, economy has been
the watchword.
The Pennsylvania railroad recent
ly had about 100000 workers as COM
Of Of from $50, 600 to 'i 1000. Ai Based on
these figures, from 10000 to 10000
employees might be released. If SIM
liar conditions existed on other rail-
roads the total number affected
would run over 100000. Since the
government took hold wages have
been increased by almost 81, 1000, 000,-
600 per annum.
AS wages of workers could not be
reduced the alternative was to re-
duce the number of workers and this
is what will be done, it is reported.

GRAPEFRUIT GROWING NFTd0
E. d. vOsBURY, u S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Perhaps no fruit has grown, in
popular favor with greater rapldlty
than the grapefruit. Almost unknown
twenty years ago it is today one of
American markets. Millions of boxes
are consumed annually.
Grapefruit is much used for sal
ads and deserts, but it is as break
fast fruit that it claims supreme
rank. Its refreshing, slightly acid
juice, possesses a tonic property
which makes it an ideal appetizer.
Many users consider the grapefruit
an indispensable feature of the morn
ing repast When one comes down
to the breakfast table lacking APP
petite, and with a mouth that tastes
just a little stale, there is nothing
that refreshes the whole digestive
system like a good, ripe, iced grape
fruit.
Grapefruit was first brought to
this country when the Spaniards,
under Ponce de Leon, introduced it,
swell as the orange, lemon and
other common citrus fruits, to Flor
1t became a favorite ornamental tree
with the early Florida settlers, and
the handsome trees with the huge
yellow fruit shining through the
dark evergreen foliage were much
admired by winter visitors from the
north. The fruit was eaten to some
rxtent locally, but there was prac-
tically no market for it. 1t was not
an uncommon sight to see the ground
beneath the trees literally yellow
with the waster fruit, which most
people considered as quite worthless.
Gradually, however, tourists learned
to like it's peculiar flavor and car
ried samples back to their northern
homes.
The first fruit shipped north in
r1E oil oh hrnlIqht q o
cents a barrel but soon afterwards
demand sprang up in the onrthern
markets. Extensive planting began
about 1895 and soon many thou
sands of boxes were annually ship
ped. In 1914 the Florida crop ex-
ceeded two million boxes. Thou
sands of acres have been planted in
the last few years.
Only a brief outline of the meth
DDS of grapefruit culture can be CIV
en- here. The general culture is the
same as for the orange. AS grape
fruit is even more tender to frost
than the orange, great care should
be taken to select localities as free
as possible from killing frosts. Some
growers protect their trees by plant
ing their groves on the southern
shores of large bodies of water, or
on high lands from which the cold
air drains away. Fires of wood and
other fuel are frequently used to
protect the trees from disastrous
frosts.
Grapefruit is grown on a variety
of soils. Very light sandy soils are

house Hunters Offer Big
Cash Rewards for Hints of

1t is we'll that men and officers re-
turned to civilian status can wear
their army toys until they get into
financial fettle again. They are
dumfounded at prices, according TO
story received from London by the
Semi-Weekly Journal. In service
they were able to buy at army can
teens at prices even below those OF
before the war. Dinner for two at
an ordinary London restaurant costs
about $3.50 provided you cut out
soup and wine. The moderate sal
aried man could entertain four
sumptuously at that figure in 1914.
Now he not only pays duoble, bpt
stands in line waiting for table.
The housing situation gets worse
every day. The demand has sent
rents sky high. Every hotel is full.
Want ads appear in the papers offer
ing $25 to $500 for tips on available
furnished flats.
In short, it is an, awkward time to
think of getting married. There is
an overplus of girls, lovely girls,
willing girls. The female popula-
ton of Great Britain exceeds the
male by 100000 or more. But
Chocolates are fixed at 81 a pound.
Theater seats, not too remote, cost
81 and up.
Flowers are only to be looked at
in florists windows.
1t is no longer polite for a London
maiden to stop her young man at q
there to purr over the darling
things" for a possible nest. The
price marks would chill any manly
heart. A modern four-room outfit
can be bought for about $1,000, COM
plete. Really, $500. Will anyone
with an arithmetica1 mind oblige us
by figuring how many weeks it would
require to pay $1,000 at $40 a week?
OF course, London newlyweds have
to buy many more things than
Americans. They have no closets in
their houses or flats, so they must
invest in expensive Wardrobes. Moth

sandy loan are preferred, while soils
underlain with hardpan, very thin

are avoided.
Before planting a grove the land is
cleared and the soil put into good

standard varieties as Hall, Walters
and Marsh, are then secured from
reliable nurSerymen. These are

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out of sight and are
soon forgotten? The reason is plain
the article did not fulfil the prom
lses of the manufacturer. This APP
plies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells it
self, as like an endless chain system
the remedy is recommended by those
who have been benefited, to those
who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says '"Take
for example DR.. Kilmers swamp
Root, a preparation L have sold for
many years and never hesitate TO
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer'S SWamp-Root is
due to the fact, so many people
