RAILROAD
RECORD ACTIVITY
IN LARGE ORDERS
Reports For First Three Months
Indicate Prosperous Year;
Many New Engines
Over six times as many locomo
tives and over four times as many
freight cars have been ordered by the
railways of the United States In the
first three months of 1916 as were or
dered in January, February and March
of last year, according to a compila
tion published by the Railway Age
Gazette. This compilation shows the
following comparison of orders for
cars and locomotives for the first three
months of 1916 and of 1915:
1916 1915
l.ocomotives 1,137 181
Freight cars 38,169 8,943
Passenger cars 537 696
As indicating the continued activity
in, the buying of cars and locomotives,
despite the high prices for material,
the Railway Age Gazette shows that
in Its issue of March 31 "there were
reported in the equipment and sup
ply column, the barometer of the rail
way supply field, orders for 128 lo
comotives, 4,250 freight cars and 100
passenger cars, having a total value
of at least $10,000,000.
Many Tons of 1 tails Ordered
There were also reported orders for
154,000 tons of rails, worth at least
$4,500,000. or total purchases for the
week of $14,550,000. The total pur
chases of cars and locomotives re
ported in the five issues of the Rail
way Age Gazette for March are like
wise interesting, for there weer noticed
orders for domestic use alone for 634
locomotives, 14,233 freight cars and
152 passenger cars.
"The buying of locomotives has been
especially active, even though during
the last two years or more the rail
ways have been increasing the capa
city of their old engines by the appli
cation of superheaters, brick arches,
new valve gear and other devices.
January, February and March are
usually not considered big months,
and yet orders have been placed dur
ing the first quarter of the year at a
rate for the entire twelve months of
4,548, not counting foreign orders.
The largest number of locomotives
ever reported as purchased during one
year was 4.514 in 1912. In short,
1916 bids fair to break a record."
LOOK AT CHILD'S
TONGUE IF SICK,
CROSS, FEVERISH
Hurry, Mother! Remove poisons
from little stomach,
liver, bowels.
Give "California Syrup of Figs"
at once if bilious or
constipated.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, it is a sure sign that your
little one's stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing at
once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu
rally, or Is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and in a few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, undigested food
and sour bile gently moves out of the
little bowels without griping, and you
have a well, playful child again.
You needn't coax sick children to
take this harmless "fruit laxative;"
they love its delicious taste, and it al
ways makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent
bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,"
which has directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here. To be sure you get
the genuine, ask to see that it is made
l>y "California Fig Syrup Company."
lJcfuse any other kind with contempt.
STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause—Take
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment—clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste In your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested food
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
griping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.
At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists

When You Are Sick
Do you buy the cheapest medicine?
When your eyes need attention you
should get the best. It costs little
more in the beginning and mean*
much to you In the end.
