A Prominent Person lias Something to

Before councils appropriated $10,000
tor the purpose of. erecting a viaduct
over Tripp's crossing, It would he well
to attend to the west LiacKawaniia
nue crossing of the Delaware, i-aciiu
vannu an A Wetsern track." said a well
known West Blder to a Tribune reporter
yesterday. "Tripp's crossing is not a
very decided menace to the welfare of
the West Side, but the Lackawanna
avenue danger is and has been for
years, the worst spot of its kind in the
city. The traffic, vehicular and pedes
trian, over these tracks is continual and
the liability of accident Is at a., times
evident. West Side people have been
clamoring for the Lackawanna avenue
viaduct to years, out only recently nas
the Tripp's crossing matter come up
and It is even now advocated by a few
of the many. It would be well If both
viaducts could be built, but if only one
let us have the Lackawanna avenue
viaduct. Tripp's crossing can wait."

TO-DAY'S GREAT GAME.
Society Will Go to See the Foot Ball Con
test Between the Alumni and Regular
Elevens of the Soliool of the Lacks
wanna.
If fair weather exists, there will be a
large and notable crowd present this
afternoon at the foot ball game between
tne alumni and the regular eleven of
the School of the Lackawnna at the
Base Ball park. Play will be called at
S o clock.
Dr. Pennypacker. a graduate, will
have charge of the alumni eleven, which
will really consist of twenty-two play
era, two to relieve each other In each
poalton. The older players realise that
they are seriously handicapped by the
greater activity and superior wind of
their young opponents, but have nlnned
their faith to beef and some old-time
tactics, which, it is thought, the regular
team nas never heard of. Meanwhile
the saplings are winking an eye and
singing "We wouldn't do a thing to
them." Among outsiders the Impression
prevails mat tne loose nalr and gore
left on the field will not be that of the
youngsters, in whose favor bets are be
ing made at S to 2.
Aside from any technical Interest In
the game It will be unusual from the
fact that the alumni will consist of
prominent young business men who
represfent the city's best social ele
ment. The line-up will be as follows:

KIDNEYS MIST BE KEPT CLEAR
The Kidneys as Filters for the Blood
nnd How They Do It
WHU CLEARS CLOGGED KIDNEYS
There are more thin people who want
to get fat than fat people who want to
get thin.
Some people were born thin and are
healthiest thin.
They had better remain so.
; But there are others.
The ones whose blood has not been
properly filtered.
What keeps them thin Is unhealthy
blood. Sick kidneys that don't filter it.
Clngglness that needs clearing.
Doctors call these people anaemic.
It's a good name to forget. Let's call
It poor-blood.
People with poor blood need nour
ishing food; beef, mutton, fowl, fish,
bread, potatoes,' butter, eggs, sugar,
fruit; no pork, no salmon, no twlre
cooked meat, nothing that gives you In
digestion. Good food makes good blood. Well
kidneys keep it good.
Poor blood 'makes you thin andjja
happy, and you have no ambition, feel
tired of everything, look pale, sallow,
thin, feel nervous, weak, and suffer
from headache, dizziness, hysteria, etc.
You have blood, but It's poisonous.
Instead of nourishing, It Is making you
sick. Your kidneys are not working
right.
- What Is needed Is Dr. Hobb's Spara
gun Kidney Pills.
The kidneys must be well, If you want
to be perfectly healthy. Dr. Hobb's
Sparagus Kidney Fills will make them
well, and Is the only medicine that acts
so quickly and effectively on the kid
neys. Besides the symptoms of. poor blood,
there are many other symptoms caused
by sick kidneys.
Poison in the blood, not filtered out as
It ought to be, causes rheumatism,
gout, neuralgia, sleeplessness, chilli
ness, evil forebodings, pufflness of the
eyelids, swelling of the feet and ankles,
ets., etc.
Some of these symptoms are tho signs
of Brlght's and other dangerous kidney
diseases.
They will disappear If the clogged
kidneys are cleared so they can filter
the blood.
The extract of asparagus root, from
which Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney
Pills are principally made. Is of special
value for the kidneys. The pills cure,
tone up and gently stimulate the kid
neys. They make them do their work
and restore them to health and vigor.
Poor-blooded folks get fresh color In
their cheeks and fresh flesh on their
bones after curing their kidneys with
Dr. Hobb's Sparnpus Kidney Pills.
The aches and stiffness of rheuma
tism disappear entirely when the kid
neys begin to filter tho blood.
Life is brighter and more worth liv
ing when the blood is again fresh and
pure and healthy.
Strength and vigor come from nour
ishing blood, good food and healthy
exercise. The nourishing blood comes
from healthy kidneys.
Clogged kidneys are cleared and
made healthy by Dr. Hobb's Sparagus
Kidney Pills.
A few doses will relieve. A few
boxes will cure.

RAILROAD NOTES.
The action of some of the railroad com
panies In refusing to accept freight cars
on and after Dec. 1 Is likely to prove an
embarrassing subject, as In most cases a
number or the cars will have perishable
frelrht. and if thev are not delivered at
once there will be a dead loss.
At a meeting of the executive committee
of the Lehigh Valley Kaiiroaa company
yesterday. Third Vice-President John B.
Garrett was selected to represent It In the
board of managers of the new Joint Traffic
association of the trunk lines and their
western connections. The selection ot Mr,
Garrett is one of the best that could have
been made, as he Is thoroughly familiar
with the transportation business of the
Lehigh Valley, and took a prominent part
In the formation of the new association,
having been a member of the sub-committee
which formulated the plan for the
government of that body.
Owlnir to some ot the railroad companies
of the United States not agreeing to place
handholds and grablrons on all freight
cars or roreign roaus rounn on tnoir lines
on and after Dec. 1 there has been created
considerable- discussion among the rail
road managers. Borne or tne roads nave
gone so far as to send out notices that
tnev win not receive any car mat is not
equipped as required by law. A recent
meeting of the American Hallway asso
ciation adopted a preamble setting out
that "It will te impoAsiDie io save an cars
returned In time for each railroad to com
ply with the law requiring all cars to be
equipped with handholds tor grablrons
and drawbars raised to a certain neignt,
atift followed this bv the adoption of a
resolution that "It Is the sense of this as
sociation that after the law takes effect
each railroad equip all cars belonging to
snv railroad company witn nananoms or
grablrons, and raise ' the drawbars to
proper height to comply with the law that
may be on their respective roads at that
time, and bill against the owners of said
cars at the prices agreed upon by the
Master Car Builders' association." By this
It was taken for granted that each com
pany would look after the Interest ot the
other, but such Is not the case, as some
ill not have anything to do witn cars or
another ir tney are not equipped witn
handholds and arablrens. A meeting of
th perioral aunerlntendents. superintend
ents and superintendents of motive power
of the Pennsylvania tuuiroau company was
held yesterday in tne omce oi ueneral
Manatrer Prevost to discuss the Question.
The matter was thoroughly gone Into and
It was decided to equip all freight cars on
the lines of the company belonging to
other roads, as prescribed by law, and for
so doing a bill Is to be forwarded to the
owner of the car.
FIRE IN A BARN.
