Among the Improvements that will bu made on the Baltimore and Ohio is a radical change In the running of pas senger trains. General Manager Greene hus been investigating this matter forborne time and contemplates changing ne number of cars per train so that they can make better time going up the heavy grades, and as a consequence will not run so fast com Ing down. Now that the track has been placed In a lirst-class condition and new motive power purchased for the passenger trains, Mr. Greene is of the opinion that, by equalizing the weight of the trains, a trip over the Baltimore and Ohio will be made very pleasant. NOTES. The Baltimore and Ohio track from Chicago Junction to Chicago now ranks as the finest in the west. It Is laid with heavy steel rail and ballasted with clean gravel, and as there are very few curves on the line the trains are enabled to make high speed with perfect safety. Train 7, on the Baltimore and Ohio, which Is the 60-hour fast freight from New York to Chicago and St. Louis, is now being run In three sections. "I had sore hands for a loner time and suffered a great deal. I saw an advertisement of Hood's Sarsaparilla and began taking it. My hands soon began to get better and I have not had any trouble with them since." Mrs. Eva Moore, 3046 E. St., Philadelphia, Pa. Hood's Pills are purely vegetable. 25c.
