TAKE SAL is To
FLUSH KIDNEYS


Meat forms uric acid which eXcites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritatel, obliging
you to get up two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disodes disappear. This ia

National Authority on Railroad Trans
poFtation Says Roads Must Be
SeIf-Supporting or Become
Bankrupt.

In an address on 1.-THE Railroad Puz-
zle," delivered in Philadelphia, Janu-
AIRY 3, DIR. Emory r. Johnson, dean Of
the Wharton School of Finance, and
one Of the nations leading authorities
on railroad transportation, declared
that ''after the first Of March the COM
panles must be self-supporting or be-
come bankrupt" Continuing, he said ::
~Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
returned to their owners? For two
years the government has drawn upon
the public treasury to sustain the
credit OF carriers.
Elf the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges; If
the companies succeed to the extent
that is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able to meet un-
.avOidable expenses, they must have
csOme surplus revenue.
@If there Is no income to be used In
part for betterments and in part for
building up a surplus or reserve fund,
the public will not invest in the rail-
roads, their credit cannot be re-estab-
Iished and maintained and corporate
ownership and operation Of the rail-
ways will fail.
''The income of the carriers is deter
mined by public regulation, ana prop
erly so but from this it follows that
the country must decide between a
DDIlcy Of adequate revenues to the
railroad corporations of the future and
a policy Of government ownership.
THE government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail-
road operation, both line and terminal.
At has done much that the carriers
we're prohibited from doing. The pub
lie now realize that cooperation Of
The carriers in the joint use Of equip
ynent and terminals should be encour-
aged, instead Of prevented.
''The railroad legislation now pend
5ng in Congress must solve many diff
cult questions, but the most critical one
IS that of providing for the future reg
uIatiOn of railroads i'm accordance with
a policy that will cause the carriers to
secure revenue sufficient to enable
them TO perform their services ade-
quately and with progressive efficiency.
The railroad business must be made at
-tractive TO private investments or the
country will have to adopt government
ownership and operation of the rail-
roads. There Is no other alternative"

DIVISION OF SECURITIES.
Mutual Savings Banks Owned Entire
ly by Depositors Hold Large
Amount Of Railway
Bonds.

Millions Of thrifty Americans who
have laid aside something for "rainy
day" are directly or indirectly owners
Of railroad securities. This ownership
represents not only individual invest
ment In the railroads, but holdings Of
railroad securities by life insurance
companies, savings banks, fire and ma
rine insurance companies, benevolent
associations, educational institutions,
trust companies and State and Nation
al banks. A large part Of the assets
Of these institutions depend on the SOL
vency Of the railroads.
The ownership of railroad securities
among these people is divided approx
Imately as follows:
Individuals, numbering over
100000, own outright about S1O,-
0OO,O00OOO in railroad securities.
Over 100000 are stockholders with
an average holding Of $13,955.
Life insurance companies, with
100000 policies in force, own
nearly $2OOO,OOO,0OO of railway
securities.
Savings banks, with 100000
depOsitOrs, own SS47, 100000.
Fire and marine insurance COM
panies, casualty and surety COM
panies own a total Of $649,000,O00.
Benevolent associations, col
leges, schools, charitable institu-
tons, etc, own $350,000,O00.
Crnfa omd
tionaI banks own $S65,000,OOO.
According to statistics compiled for
the Association of Life Insurance Pres
idents in 1918, 27.65 per cent Of life
insurance companies assets were in
vested in railroad bonds, and during
the first half Of 1919 the percentage Of
railroad bonds held by the life insur-
ance companies was 2G.25 Of the total
assets of these companies.
Interest of Wage Farmers.
In addition to this widespread own
ership of equities of American rail
roads by the people Of the United
States every wage Garner who puts
money into the savings bank has d.
rect interest in the sOundness of rail-
road investment on account Of the
large part of the savings of men and
women wage earners secured by the
railroad bonds which are bought by the
savings banks.
A great many of these institutions
are mutual savings banks which have
no capital stock, pay no dividends,
earn no profits for stockholders, and
their entire property belongs to the de-
positors. Every dollar that the bank
earns beyond the actual cost Of doing
business also belongs TO them.
The report Of the United States
Comptroller of the Currency for 1918
shows that CPS Of these savings banks
operated on the mutual plan had at the
end of 1918 total deposits of $4,422,-
6,393.15 credited to 9,011, AGA depos-
itors, an average deposit of $490.72.
These figures covered mutual savings
banks In IS states Of the Union.
The Comptroller's report gives the
amount of railroad bonds held by mu-
tuaI savings banks in the six New Eng
land states-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut-as $406, 272, 1856. The
report of the State Superintendent of
Banks of New York shows that the
railroad bonds held by the mutual saw
ings banks at the end of 1918 In New
York amounted to 1851, 1874.

Increases in freight and passenger

amounted to 1885, 100000 when APP
piled TO the traffic moved up to July
81, 1919, while the increases in wages
applied to the number of employees
and the hours or days worked in July,
1919, amounted to $1,774 100000, or 81
per cent Of the revenue from the in
creased rates, according to a state

These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
Of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment Of new

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREBLED SINCE 1888
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet Country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third of the railways Of the
world. The traffic hauled on the rail-
ways of the United States isnOw three
times as great as it was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in year.
IL the three months alone Of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal
ed that Of the whole year of 1898,
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads of the country were more
than 1OO,OOO,O00,OOO a year. In 1910
they were more than 25O0OO,OOOOO0,
in 1913 more than 3OO,0OO00O,O0O and
in 1918 more than 4OO,00O,OOO,OO0. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890, i'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, ETC.; have been so marked that
the volume of goods carried (measured
in the number of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than five
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account Of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1900
hauled 10000 traffic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
plOyee. By 1917, the last year Of pri-
vate operation Of the railroads prior to
the entry of the United States into the
war, that $4,000 had been increased
to 100000.
The following table shows the In
crease in efficiency Of American rail-
roads since 1900, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
of the country:
