Optimism for the Railroads

A prominent railroad executive de-
clares himself IAN incurable optimist
on our railroads. and predicted that
restoration of the railroads Ito their
former position of leadership in the
life and commerce of America" will
follow revival of industry.
He based his views upon the super
ior efficiency of railroads, the low
cost of their freight service, the un-
equaled comfort, convenience and
safety of rail travel, and the fact that
"the railroads alone provide depend
able. year-round operation in every
climate, in low and high attitudes, in
sunshine and storm, through sleet,
hail, snow, fog and rain, by night as
easily as by day-safely, surely and
substantially free from interruption.
He predicted that public opinion
would compel the effective regulation
Of highway transport by the federal
and state governments; also that the
regulation of railroads would be pro-
gressively liberalized until the two are
on a comparable basis.
This is more hopeful attitude
than is usually shown by railroad
arrangements, but there is ground
for it.

is one way in which the complexion
becomes rejuvenated and cold feet are

Out Go Kinks
The alimentary tube Is subject to
kinks and says and all sorts of OBJ
stacles incident to our upright pos
ture. Somersaults unkink the kinks,
take out the slack and help to over
come the obstacles. Hence the relief
to autointoxication, and constipation
and flatulence, and digestive diff
culties.
Young women with menstrual Diff
ficulties obtain relief by faithfully
following somersaults through many
months, provided the treatment is
not interrupted at the periods and
there is no serious organic disease.
Some remedies have contra-indica-
tons, as we'll as indications. I know
Of none for somersaults. One cannot
be too young or too old to turn somer-
saults. One cannot be too stout or
too thin to turn them.
One who has recently had an oper-
alton may begin turning somersaults
as soon as walking is possible. Women
with displacements are not injured
and often helped a great deal by
somersaults. Expectant mothers need
not interrupt somersaults II they have
the habit.

The case went under advisement.

"That would be nice. I'd like

into Wagner Inlet. Harnessed to 1t
were two dogs and a sturdy tired lit
tie boy. For weeks and weeks-so
many he didn't try to remember them
the boy had pulled with the dogs.
Under the blankets on the sled were
a three-year-old boy and a woman
who was dangerously i'll.
The story the group told was very
simple. When the Eskimo family had
been left destitute at the death of the
father, the boy had gone into the
forests, hunting game and fish. One
day he had too much meat for the
dogs to pull. He fitted a harness to
his own shoulders and helped to drag
the provisions home. It was hard
work. But he didn't complain. His
mother, who had been Ill when he
left, was much worse. There was
nothing to do but take his place with |
the dogs again and start on the 160-
mile trip to the place where the near
est doctor had an office. For the last |
three days Of the drive he had no
food.
The boy didn't ask for any praise
His mother would live, he was told.
That was enough reward for him.
The modesty of the lad, the fact
that he did something brave merely
because it was his duty attracted at
tention to him. It reminds us that
the spectacular feat isn't necessarily
the courageous one. It isn't so hard
to rise to heights when the banners
wave and the bands play. But to push
through the northland, pulling with
the dogs, racing against death, with
nobody to know or care if you make
it or If you don't-that requires
stamina.
1t is quite in keeping with the cpl
sode that the name Of the youngster
Is not known. He wouldn't want it
to be.
