company paid the usual 6 per cent,
dividend to stockholders, requiring ap
proximately $30,000,000.
Referring to the successful fiscal
year, President Samuel Kea says:
War Is Ilig; Help
The war and increased freight and
DHMngir tariffs were helpfut in mak
ing up the record-breaking earnings.
"While the increase in your freight
revenues, principally in the merchan
dise traffic, can be attributed largely
to the transportation of supplies for
Europe, the advance of approximately
1 5 per cent, in certain merchandise
i freight rates, referred to in the last
annual report, which became effective
| in the early part of 1915, was also
! helpful. So far as can be estimated,
! the advance in these freight rates in
' creased the total freight revenues 2.96
j per cent.
"Passenger revenue decreased less
than 1 per cent. This traffic was
affected by the general business de
! prcssion in the early part of the year,
but later it showed improvement. In
i creases in certain passenger rates oft
! set the reduction in traffic to some
i extent."
President Rea takes a broad stand
on the proposed congressional inquiry
into the transportation problem. He
says that while public regulation has
; served many useful purposes, there
i has been a notable lack of a definite
business policy and of co-operation
between the Federal and State govern
ments, all of which has been costly to
the carriers and has retarded railroad
expansion.
No Time for Complaint
"However," continues President Rea,
"the time for complaint and destruct
ive criticism has passed, and through
this inquiry an opportunity is pre
sented for formulating a constructive
policy and insuring equitable treat
ment for the railroads, which will be
sustained by public opinion, realizing
; that the railroads are a very essential
j factor in creating and continuing na
j tional prosperity. Then their owners
and the investing public will be en
couraged to provide in the future the
large sums o! private capital required
to place our transportation systems in
a position to meet the needs of an ex
panding commerce."
Other subjects discussed at length
in the report were: The ruling by the
Public Service Commission of Penn
sylvania ordering a reduction ill an
thracite freight rates, which, if sus
tained by the courts, will cause a loss
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
of $1,500,000 a year: the various steps
taken to increase passenger fares, and
the Interstate Commerce Commission's
order declining to permit the further
operation of steamship lines by the
railroads.
For the first time announcement Is
made of sale of the boats owned and
operated by the Krle and Western
Transporiation Company, a Pennsyl
vania Railroad subsidiary.
President Uea directs attention to
the coming seventieth anniversary of
the company, saying:
"Notwithstanding many financial
and business vicissitudes in that long
i period, ihe company has endeavored
] to discharge its duty to the public by
maintaining an adequate, safe and
high standard of transportation serv
' ice: by encouraging the development
' of the territory served by its lines and
connections: and by safeguarding the
' interests of the stock and bond hold
ers. and the welfare of its employes,
j Since its incorporat ion the company
I has paid a return upon its capital
! stock in every calendar year, and has
pursued the sound financial policy of
J devoting many millions of dollars of
its income to provide betterments and
I improvements to its railroad and
j equipment, instead of issuing capital
j stock or bonds to procure the funds
J therefor."

Proposed Pension Increase
Would Give Veterans Over
70 Years More Money
Special to the Telegraph
! Washington, D. C., March I.—Pen
sions of not less than S2O a month for
jail Union Civil War Veterans• seventy
i years old or more and eligible for the
I pension roll are proposed in a bill
I favorably reported to the House yes-
I terday.
The measure also would increase
from sl2 to S2O the pension of every
widow who was the lawful wife of a
soldier during his service in the Civil
j War; restore to their former penslon
! able status widows of Civil War sol-
I diers dropped from the rolls because
of their marriage to other persons and
who are again widows or divorced on
their own application, and amend by
making the date 1905 the act of 1890,
I providing that women who married
! Civil War Veterans after that date
I should not be entitled to pensions
jUpon becoming widows.
Xo official estimate of th'e amount

A QUICK, SURE WAY
TO END CATARRH
i Catarrh Germs Bre«l by Millions In
Air Passages of Nose and Throat,
i Just One Way to Drive Them Out
To stop catarrh for good you must
drive from your system the germs that
! cause catarrh and that are now feed
j ing and growing fat upon tbe swollen
' inflamed mucous membranes of your
nose and throat.
A splendid means of destroying ca
tarrh germs and overcoming catarrh
has long been recognized In the well
known oil of Hyomei (pronounced
[ Hlgh-o-me) and it Is now a very
' simple matter for any catarrh sufferer
! to use it with splendid results at home
by breathing its air through a little
hard rubber inhaling device which
leading druggists are supplying with
each large complete treatment. Just
I pour a few drops of the oil of Hyomei
I into this inhaler, place it between
i your lips and then breathe naturally
1 and the pleasant smelling antiseptic
i germ killing air will penetrate deep
; down into every fold and crevice of
I your raw, sore nose, throat and lungs
j and give you quick certain relief,
I opening up the air passages, maktng
i you breathe easily, stopping the In
flammation and discharge and drlv
) ing from your system every catarrh
; germ that has found lodgement there.
If you want to be free from every
| symptom of catarrh, are tired of try
i ing one thing after another without
i benefit go to H. C. Kennedy or any
| other reliable drug store hereabouts
j and get a complete Hyomei inhaler
I outfit, use it every day for a few
J minutes and if it does not drive the
! catarrh germs out of your system and
give you lasting relief from catarrh
. your druggists will give you your
I money back.
A NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC
Debility is a loss of vitality, not a fleet
ing any one part of the body particularly
but thesyatein generally. Itis dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acut-o dipeaef *,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attach
of the grip often results in debility thai
persists for months. Everybody rceofc*
nizes that the remedy for debility if? to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part of the body a:i«! on im
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case is to find something
that will enrich the blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills suit most peo
ple's need because they are. non-alcoholic
and they really build up the. blood and
strengthen the nerves. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are useful forgrowingchildren
and for men and women whose nervous
energy has been overdrawn. They are
certainly worthy of a trial in every case
of weak nerves and thin blood.

REMEDY IS BEST
We are told that the old-time reme

of your head should clear and your
breathing become easy. Parmint syrup
is pleasant to take, easy to prepare* and
costs little. Every person who has a
