Railroads and Autom Oh lies.

The public 10 being induced by rea-
son Of the faults Of rail transporta-
ton and the uncertainty Of railroad
strikes to look upon the increase in
automobile trafiic as a possible as
sistance mysterious time Of trouble, in
short as the only means Of avoiding
the dangers Of food shortage.
On the other hand the railroads are
seeing in the increase of motor traffic
a possible menace, disturber of divi-
dends, and in a certain sense an injus-
tice as affecting the public mind.
With regard to this the Railway
Age speaks at length. 1t has collect
ed statistics from which it finds
that the American public is spend
ing approximately the same amount
annually for running and riding in
automobiles as it is spending for all
Of it's railroad transportation
freight, passenger, express and mail.
1t points out that if the public should
find the recent advance of $780,
100000 in railway rates burdensome it
can completely Offset this additional
cost of railroad transportation by re-
ducing it's use of automobiles 25 per
cent. 1t estimates that after the re-
cent advances in railway rates Of
81, $50, 600, 900 a year have been put
into effect the annual cost Of railroad
transportation to the public will be
about $1,000, 100000, or assuming that
the average family contains five per-
sons. about $3O5 per family. 1t esti-
mates that the public already Us
spending over $4,000. 000. 900 a year, or
$3.50 per, family, for operating and rid
ing in automobiles, 81 per cent of
which are passenger cars.
THE air doubtless will soon be filled
with outcries from the advocates of
government ownership of railways
and self appointed spokesman Of the
public because of the enormous in
crease in the cost Of living, which, it
is alleged, the advances in rail rates
will cause. But as long as the public
is voluntarily and gladly spending
over $4,000, 600, 900 a year for using
automobiles, not including the cost of
building and maintaining highways, it
seems doubtful if it will find it very
difficult to pay substantially equal
bill for the essential service of rail-
road transportation"
1t is not difficult to believe, though
hard to fully comprehend, that over
nine billion dollars were Finvested in
automobiles last year, or about half as
much as the valuation placed on rail-
ways. Notwithstanding that it is
estimated that toward a quarter mil
lion cars will be built this year; that
the total cost Of operation, main
tenance and depreciation in 1920 will
exceed six billions.

I'm thinking there must be thousands
of people in much the same Ak l was

my experience with the medicine"
said Charles H. Smith. well known
farmer and riverman, living at River
side Drive, r. F. D. 1, Augusta, Me.
For about ten years / suffered
with the worst kind of indigestion,
which became SO bad last fall that l
thought l would die. Everything
ate would lie on my stomach like a
lump of lead and then ferment and
form gas that bloated me up until 1
could scarcely breathe and my heart
beat like trip hammer. After every
meal l had pains in the pit of my
stomach that kept me in misery for
hours, and I fell off in weight until 1
was mere shadow of what used to
be. My rest at night was very dis
turbed and just felt tired and worm
out all the time. l was badly con-
stipated and at times had such spells
of dizziness that on two or three oc-
casions l fell right down. 1 tried
medicines of all kinds but never found
thing to help me until got hold of
Tanlac.
The very first bottle of this Won
derful medicine gave me relief and by
the time l had got through with the
second l could eat anything l wanted
and never suffer in the least with pain
or Indigestion. l have already gained
seven pounds in weight and am feel
ing as we'll as any man could wish.
l am no longer troubled with consti-
patton or dizziness and sleep like a
log every night. Tanlac is certainly a
great medicine and all who suffer as
did ought to give it trial"

was escorted by Adj. Gen. Presson,

has been gratified of both flying in the

sail was the fact that while down in

A Serious Matter for tho World,


Few will question that it will be a
| very serious matter for world con-
sideration if Poland is overrun by the
red hordes and a pathway made
through that country to the powers
in Germany. The statement of a
prominent British official that present
conditions are the most serious since
August, 1914, does not seem exag-
gerated. And yet there are among
the British those who oppose restraint
on the bolshevism, that now declares
Warsaw must be taken before any
armistice may be had because the red
hordes have been promised the loot of
Warsaw!
Poland not only needs support but
deserves it, support Of England and
France especially, for they must suf-
fer most severely in her fall. This
fact has long been recognized and
nothing, or little at best, has been
done by them to meet the need. 1t
now appears this neglect is not en-
titled to the excuse that Poland ex-
ceded her privileges when she at
tempted to control vantage points in
Russian territory. Poland's ex-
