why you should be coy about it

RAIL GIANTS AT
GRIPS FOR RULE
Of IND|ANAL line
N. Y. C. and B. & O. Seek
Former Midland
@ Road.

Two railroad giants have laid
down the lines of battle in Indiana
The New York Central and Balti-
more & Ohio Companies both are
seeking control of the Central In
diana, formerly the Midland, now
owned jointly by the Pennsylvania
and Big -Four Companies.
The Central Indiana route in
cludes Clay, Parke, Montgomery,
Boone, Hamilton, Madison and
Delaware Counties. Along its lines
is Brazil, with it's large output for
shipment of coal and clay products;
Anderson, Muncie and Noblesville,
diversified manufacturing, and La
pei, with canning and glass facto-
ries.
Would Enter Anderson
The Baltimore & Ohio, through
control of the Central, would make
entry into Anderson, and this pos
sibility has aroused the New York
Central. The decisive move will be
made soon, as the interstate COM
merce commission last March gave
present owners of the Central In
diana the choice to abandon the
road or dispose of it by Sept. 20.
Part to Be Abandoned
On at least one point. it appears
that the bidders for the road are
agreed. That is abandonment of
that part Of the line from Anderson
to Muncie and from Lebanon TO
Brazil. u
Lapel shippers, greatly concerned
over the impending change, have
been assured in quarters not dis
closed that neither of the prospec-
tive buyers Of the Central would
abandon within a year, or probably
ever, the portion Of the road be-
tween Anderson and Lebanon.

Suffered Six Years Before Finding
Way to End Trouble Quickly.

Neuritis is bad enough. but George
L. Petit, SIS E. ash ST., Freeport,
Ill, had plenty of other troubles
in addition. Today all his pains
are gone. His letter states:
81 had severe kidney trouble for
six years. My back was so lame
and sore I was in constant agony.
1 had frequent attacks of splitting
headaches, and was so constipated
I had to take laxatives all the time.
Finally, neuritis came on, with all
its intense pain, especially in my
left arm and between my shoulders,
and 1 was in such misery 1 was
ready to despair. One day I read
where Viuna had relieved a case
like mine. I am glad to say 1t did
the same for me. First, it gave
prompt relief from the sharp, stab
bling pains of neuritis, and soon I
was almost free from them. A little
later, my kidneys righted them
selves, the back-ache and headache
disappeared, and I am feeling fine
in every way. My constipation was
relieved, and I am eating heartily,
sleeping soundly, and gaining back
my lost weight. The change has
come So promptly that it seems
almost too good to be true. I only
