WHY P. R. R. WON'T
GIVE TIES AWAY

Reasons why the Pennsylvania
Railroad refuses to give away old
wooden ties to needy persons for use
as fuel are given by Samuel Porch
er, general purchasing agent. in a
statement saying:
1.-The company cannot sanction the
public going promiscuously over the
tracks and through yards to gather
up old ties, as to do so would be
practically letting down 6he bars
against trespassing on the tracks.
an evil against which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has struggled for
years, and which has been the cause
of about half of all the fatal acci-
dents on railroads in the United
States.
Efforts have been made to inter-
est dealers in fire-wood in buying the
old ties, but thus far without much
success. The causes appear to be
that the old ties are often dirty; that
they contain more or less stone, grit
and Stag, wedged in the cracks,
which might injure the saws used in
cutting them; that in many cases
they are PANTY decayed: that they
are dried out. and that their fibre is
more or less crushed, so that they
burn out too quickly. These are
among the reasons assigned by deal
ers, who have not been willing to
pay the railroad company enough 20
cover the cost of collecting the ties
and delivering them to a point at
, which they could be removed.
The company will be glad to con-
tinue, and wherever feasible to ex-
tend, the present practice Of selling
old ties to individual consumers for
nominal prices. at points where they
can be delivered without danger Ia
the purchasers and without costing
for collection and transportation
more than they are worth as fuel
The management will welcome
any other suggestions by which more
of the old ties can be usefully dis
posed Of or made available for com.
mercial or Industrial purposes"

FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF

~ (hN a%-'ta&heoh.Nt1 kfIlfF
To the Editor of The Evening Jour
nal:
Sir-Since the first of tie year,
conditions in Wilmington, due to un-
employment, have. undoubtedly, be-
come more alarming, and there is
now more reason than before why
the Beacon College Club desires to
make a substantial contribution to
the Emergency Relief Fund. During
the past twenty-four hours. the Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the school or
ganization has given serious and
deep consideration to the grave and
distressing reports which kave come
to its attention. and the members
will do their utmost, as a unit to
help provide food and clothing for
the numerous families who are suf-
fering.
With outside work practically at
standstill, there is. naturally, an
added need for considerably more
money to tide the unemployed over
until spring. With this fact evident,
the Beacon College Club announces
that, while the goal was set to sell
500 tickets to the play, Nothing
But the Truth" and dance, It now
believes that earnest and persistent
efforts should be made to greatly
exceed that number by Friday
evening, when the function is to be
given in the New Century Club for
those who are suffering from cold
and hunger. That the desired goal
may be attained. members Of the
club and friends have been asked by
President Merrett d. Fisher to ex-
ert every possible means. in an en-
deavor to sell a large number OF
tickets during the few remaining
days OF the campaign.
Considering the worthy disposi-
tion of the proceeds, the well-known
merits OF the play. and the attrac-
tive program of dances with the
Original Six Orchestra in attendance.
the committee in charge feels that
a large number of persons should go
to the New Century Club next Fri
day evening with not only a pleas
urable interest, but with an earnest
desire to help make this affair a
sweeping success.
William II. Beacon, chairman OF
the genertl ticket committee, with
more than fifty co-workers. has al
ready done much effective work, and
thus stimulated others to make a
fine showing, but there still remains
much for accomplishment
The Women's Campaign Commit
tee of the Mayors Emergency Relief
Fund. headed by Mrs. John P
Nields learning of what our club
was doing to help vne needy OF th'
city, unanimously endorsed our ef
I fort, and Mrs. Clarence c. Killen

Committee, asked for and received
} a considerable number Of tickets
which she has placed on salt

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
East Less Meat if You Feel
Backachy or Have Blad-
der Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overwor the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
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 irritated, 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 table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear This famous
salts is made from The acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases
