remedy is DON"T. The market is
flooded with such things and -a new one
would have to be advertised heavily and
extensively for a year or two before
"breaking In."
Advertise the formula for sale in some
of tho drug Journals.

report that the traffic situation remains; unchanged from what ltvhas been
during recent weeks, great difficulty- being experienced In avoiding conges

handled.
General business in- the sections covered by these roads remains fairly
active, but Is, of course, restricted somewhat by tho shortage of labor and
the Inability f railroads to meet slilpijitig requirements.
Officials of Southern roads state that the movement of general tonnage
for the South is holding up well and loadings, in soine instances, are being
limited to tho car supply. -.
