trials in various parts Of the world
have given strong indication that it
is the longsousht remedy for this
parasite in human beings. This
important advance adds another
discovery to the list OF those that
department scientists have contrib
uted to human medicine, one Of the
most important Of which is the fact
thar certain diseases may be trans

BETTER SERVICE
FOR TRUCKERS
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Will
Merge Refrigerator Car
Service With Fruit

measure 10 secure for the public
the maximum Ser,ice from its spec
ialized equipment for handling
periShablc traffic. the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will. effective May
lst. discontinue entirely the opera
ton Of It's separate refrigerator car
lines. and will merge all Of its re-
friserator cars. numbering 5.92I,
with those of the Fruit Growers
Express Thereafter the Fruit
Growers Express will assume all
refrigeration and protective car
service on the lines OF the PcnnsEl-
yania Ssyten.
The Pennsylvania railriad man
a3cment has decided upon this step
as being in the best interests of the
shippers and the railroads general
! ". It's most Important effect Will
be To more than double the num-
ber of refrigerator cars operated by
the Fruit Growers Express. These
now number 5.219. With The ad-
dition of the Pennsylvania cars.
there will be Il total Of 11,l3G
available for service throughout
the territory covered, which en-
braces the Southern and Central
! Western States east Of the Mlssls-
sippi, the Middle Atlantic States
and New England.
The Fruit Growers Express is n
cooperative organization owned
and managed by the leading rail-
roads Of the South and East. 1t
has no individual stockholders and
no distribution OF earnings outside
the owning railroads. 1t exists
solely for the purpose Of supplying
refrigerator cars and protective
service on fruits. vegetables and
other products of perishable ma
ture.
Traffic of this character is sea-
sonal, beginning during the winter
i'm Florida and working North un-
til the late fruit crops OF Northern
New York and Michigan, and the
potato crop of New England. are
reached. 1t is therefore evident
that the addition OF the large num-
| Der of cars owned by the Pennsy!-
vania system. to those already con-
trolled by the Fruit Growers riX-
press. will assure a better dis1ri-
5; button and more flexible. efficl-
ents and economical use of the
equipment throughout the season.
! 1t was for this reason concluded by
ithe Pennsylvania Railroad manage
ment that the shippers needs are
better met by such an organization
as the Fruit Growers Express than
/ by each railroad trying locally to
care for the crops in its own par
ticular territory and that of its
connections:
The new arrangement will also
secure professional attention to all
"details Of the protective service. fot
all shippers. The Fruit Growers
/ Express was organized TWO years
ago and has developed 4 working
force specially trained in the han
! ding and care OF peflSilaDle lit-Slic
Last year it made Il particularly
successful record in handling
Southern products, and it was
largely this fact which influenced
the decision of the Pennsylvania
Railroad management.
The Pennsylvania Railroad was
the pioneer in the use and develop
ment of refrigerator cars. having
established the first lines through
the South more than thirty years
ago. in order TO bring irish fruits
and vegetables 10 the Northern
markets during the colder seasons
