Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N, Y. Personal Responsibility. In a consular report from GQGer- many which was published some months ago the statement was made that not only in every wreck, col- lision or minor railroad accident “thoroughly investigated” in that country, but that “invariably some- one is held responsible and punished for the occurrence,” except where the proof is conclusive that human vigilance and care could not have averted it. It is strange and per- plexing to contrast this condition with the situation in this country. Apart from the fact that as yet no provision has been made for thorough governmental investigation of acci- dents and for reports definitely fixing responsibility, there is the graver cir. cumstance that no one here Is ap- parently in danger of punishment for his share of responsibility for a rail road accident. So far no one has ever been convicted for negligence causing a wreck, and the result of recent trials is very significant, to say the least. The other day a jury acquitted the engineer, conductor and brakeman who had been indicted for the Terra Cotta, D. C., wreck of a year ago, one of the worst railroad disasters in the history of such calamities, The evidence in regard to the signals was conflicting, and the engineer proved that he had worked extra hours—of his own free will—and gone long without sleep immediately before the accident. Some two weeks ago a New York court ordered a ver- dict of acquittal in the case of the vice president and general manager of the New York Central, who had been indicted for negligence in con- nection with the terrible Woodlawn wreck. No direct responsibility had been traced to the defendants, who, in the opinion of the judge, could not be expected to know the exact condition of every curve, switch, mile of track, etc., on a great line.—Chi- cago Record-Herald.

A clear head is necessary to run a locomotive or conduct a train. Even a railroad man’s appetite and diges- tion are matters of importance, as the clear brain and steady hand re- sult from the healthy appetite fol- lowed by the proper digestion of food. “For the past five years,’ writes a rallroader, ‘1 have been constantly troubled with indigestion. Every doctor 1 consulted seemed to want to starve mie to death. First I was dieted on warm water and toast un- til I was almost starved; then, when they would let me eat, the indiges- tion would be right back again. “Only temporary relief came from remedies, and I tried about all of them I saw advertised. About three months ago a friend advised me to try Grape-Nuts food. The very first day 1 noticed that my appetite was satisfied, which had not been the case before, that 1 can remember. “In a week, I believe, I had more energy than ever before in my life. 1 have gained seven pounds and have had a touch of indigestion since 1 have been eating Grape-Nuts. When my wife saw how much good this food was doing me she thought she would try it awhile. We belleve the discoverer of Grape-Nuts found the ‘Perfect Food." ” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Paris, France. — The De Sagan- Castellane quarrel continues to excite all aristocratic Danis. Clubmen crit- fclse Prince Helle de Sagan because he has made French titled aristocracy by appealing ta, court for satisfact an humble police fon instead of in- challenging Count Boni de divorced husband of Anna to a duel, and the plain people an aristocracy which prefers settling domestic scandals in a police court in- stead of with swords and pistols on the dueling field. The Marquis de Castellane, father of Count Boni, freely discussed the quarrel, saying: “You ask me to give the exact re- took place between my son and the Prince de Sagan. This I do with all the greater pleasure, as it gives me the opportunity to rectify the false accounts which got into some of the newspapers. “On Friday last, at the Church of ee r— St. was being saigd for Lady who was aunt of both Count Boni and De Bagan. You are of the rumors be in-law, Mme.

My son left church, and, following De Sagan, spat squarely in his face, saying, ‘Here is Year's gift which my children quested me to give you!’ On this the Prince, who was armed with a stick, attempted to strike the Count, but my son immediately parried the blow and used his own stick effectively.” thus de- Dr. Samuel G, Tracy Tells of Precautions That Should Be New York City. -—The recent report of the Health Board shows that dur- ing the one month there were 1202 deaths from pnéumonia, many of them beginning with influenza. addition to this there have been 126 deaths from influenza without pneu- monia, It seems a fitting time word about the preventive treatment of these fatal diseases.
