A cold is simply an inflanisaa-
ton of some part of the air pas
sages-throat, larynx or bronchial
tubes-just like a sore is an in
flammation of the skin. a long
continued cold means constant
inflammation and this constant
inflammation frequently weakens
the air passages SO that they
become an easy point of attack
for invading germs of moro serious
diseases. A "cold that hangs on /"
therefore, is simply natures red

trouble below" and this warning
should never be neglected.
Nightly applications of Wick S

Beyond Understanding

President Wilson in failing to
sign the water power bill just
passed by Congress caused the
measure TO go by default and
blocked constructive Legislation
for increased production. This
comes at the end of a IL year
fight for the passage of legisla-
ton which would permit the use
of our water power resources
which now waste to the sea.
Why talk conservation in the
face of such a policy. Refusing
to permit development Of Ameri-
can waterpowers under the pre-
sent necessity of saving labor
and fuel, can only be likened to
Nero Fl d d ling while Rome
burned.
Water power development is
so essential in newsprint pro-
duction, which affects all the
newspapers of the country, and
is so imperative in every econom-
ic sense. that the action of Pres
ident Wilson is beyond under
standing.

OFFICE PHONE NUMBER "A
The Big Mike" And
The Railroad Man

lnventing genius striving as
we hear it SC often termed to
benefit mankind. oftimes benefits
the few instead of the many, as
it should in order to fulfill its inn
portant mission in this world.
This marvellous factor working
to the interest Of railroad men
has, in the past, been the means
OF saving lives Of many of our
boys from sudden and violent
deaths by the introduction and
use of different inventions such
as air brakes, simpler and less
dangerous methods of couplings,
etc.
But on the other hand, inven-
tive genius has set its head to
work on problems which, while
highly beneficial to railroad cor
porations, is working to the dis
advantage of the railroad men.
The introduction of the giant on
glhe known among the boys as
the Big Mike" will cause many
railroad men to he compelled to
resort to other lines of business
Tor a li%yelyhood. or submit to
ioter and less remunerative posi-
ton. in the company service.
lie Big Mike renders his
valuable aid to the company in
this manner; where the ordinary
engine would pull from 10, 00eT1o
TZ.U0B of tonnage Of freight per
trip, the big Mike" pulls twice
that amount and in some cases7-
aa5 hauled as much as "a, 006 tons
from one division TO another.
Thus il will be readily seen, that
the use of this metallic giant %ill
do away with one full crew OF
railroad men out of every three.
This will mean engineers. con-
ductors, hremen and brakemen
which will represent four dis
tinctive families affected to say
nothing Of others in the service
rs the labor saving will run
down the line more or less af-
fecting all connected with the
road.
The public in general pay little
or no attention to these facts.
People disturbed in the dark
hours Of the night by the hoarse
yell Of the big Mike" return to
their slumbers with the thought,
that business is good and The
railroad men are making for
tunes. when they little realize
that at every trip, the big fellow
is doing the work of almost two
ordinary crews. Last week NO.
3 was was announced late and
helated passengers swore at the
delay. She passed No. 5 at this
point at 4:45. The reason for
this was, that a wreck occurred
about 60 miles out from Topeka.
Kansas by a Boiler explosion on
a big Mike" killing engineer.
fireman and blocking the track
so that it caused delays in every
direction. So much for the big
Mike" and so much less for the
men. The public should know
these conditions so as to cease
placing the railroad man in the
milliOnaire's class.
