RAILROAD RUMBLES CO-OPERATION IS AGENTS'NEW PLAN Freight Men Agree on System to Provide Cars For •. Shippers In order to get all shippers doing business with the Pennsylvania Rail road and the Philadelphia and Read ing Railway, an equal number of cars, freight agents have planned for a hearty co-operation with each other. This arrangement, it is said, is made necessary because of the shortage of cars, and a fear that there will be further traffic trouble unless cars are sufficient to meet demands. The plan to be followed, it is said, will be similar to that adopted by the irelght agents of the Baltimore divi sion of the Pennsylvania railroad. A new car report system will be follow ed according to reports. Shippers complalp that they do not get enough cars. In order to better conditions it is proposed to have every agent re port daily the number of cars daily on hand, loaded, unloaded, and those waiting for orders. Should there be a scarcity at one point and a surplus at another, the agent having the sur plus will rush the cars to the point where cars sire most needed. Reading Crews Keep Busy; Sunday Another Record Day Reading crews are still on the jump. Another busy day was reported Sunday by Harrisburg and Reading division officials. Records filed in the office of the freight trainmaster at Reading show a total of 15,000 cars moved over the two divisions on Sun day. The yard forces at Rutherford were taxed in handling this rush of freight. The anthracite mines will continue In operation. Cars have been supplied and indications are that February will prove a record month for freight business on the Reading. Anselm W Bennet, Shopman, Dies After Brief Illness Anselm W.

SUFFERED FROM BACKACHE RHEUMATISM, DROPSY. Dear Mr. Editor —I wish to tell yon of a recent eij>erience I had when Buf fering from btckaclie, weak back, rheu matism, dropty, and congestion of the kidneys. I tried a new medicine called " Amine," which lias recently been dis covered by Ig. Pierce, of whose medi cines and Surgical Institution in Buffalo, N. Y. f you hftve no doubt heard for years. This fiiedifcine acted upon me in a wonderful manner. I never have taken any medicine so helpful in such quick time. Ido wish anyone in need of such a remedy would give it a trial. (Signed) ; G. H. HEKB. NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining counties are delighted with the result a they have obtained by using " A NURIC," the newest disoovery of Dr. Pierce, who is head of tht INVALIDS' HOTEL and SURGICAL INSHTTTE, in Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the drj with a back ache, stiff If g.=, arms and muscles, and an aching heap (worn out before the day began because they were in and out of "bed half a dozen times at night) are appreciating tie perfect rest, comfort and new strength they obtained from Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove fhat this is a certain uric acid solvent and conquers headache, kidney and bladder diseaops and rheumatism, if you've never ised the " Annric " cut this out and s«nd ten cents to Doctor Pierce for a large sample package. This will prove to you that "Anurio" is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid—and the most perfect kidney and bladder cor rector. If you lire a sufferer, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of "Anuric." You run no risk for Dr. Pierce's good mime stands behind this wonderful new discovery as it has fcr the past half century for his "Golden Medical DiscovSrv" which makes the blood pure, his "Favorite Prescription" for weak womeil and " Pleasant I't'lieta" tor liver ills.
