Pennsy Making Progress With
Plan to-Relieve Freight
Congestion
Material progress in expediting the
movement of freight over the Pennsyl
vania Railroad System, between the
Middle West and eastern points, is
being effected through the wyrk of
the newly established Pennsylvania
System Joint Embargo committee,
which has Its headquarters at Pitts
burgh.
This committee was created at the
direction of the executive officers, fol
lowing conferences held at Philadel
phia and Pittsburgh, to devise means
for satisfactorily handling freight
offected by embargoes, between the |
lines east and west. Its purpose Is to
serve the public more fully by mak
ing, us promptly as possible, modifica
tions of. embargoes where transporta
tion conditions and the ability of con
signees to remove freight from the
cars promptly .upon arrival, permit
such exceptions to be muun,
This makes more effective the object
sought in handling freight under em r
bargoes, which is to prevent terminal
congestion by separating the freight
that will be held in cars at destination,
from that which will be taken off the
railroad's hands without delay.
Many More Cars
As a result of the committee's ef
forts, there have been moved in the
last week, through the Pittsburgh and
Buffalo gateways, more than 3,100
carloads of freight of all kinds, which
were under embargo and could not
have been handled with equal prompt
ness, if at all, except by special ar
rangement effected, by the committee.
Of this freight, approximately 2,000
cars were eastbound ulid 1,100 cars
westbound. At the close of the
week, arrangements were pending for
the movement of 4.100 additional cars
of embargoed freight.
During the period in question, the
committee has had presented to it for
consideration nearly 1,500 separate ap
plications for individual shipments un
der special modifications of the em
bargoes.
Constitutes Clearing House
The Pennsylvania System joint em
| bargo committee virtually constitutes
a clearing house for handling all re
quests for the special movement of
freight affected by embargoes, be
tween the Eastern and Western lines
of the system. Its work practically
unites the transportation facilities of
the two branches of the Pennsylvania
System in one organization. The ac
tive work of the committee is' in
charge of the following:
John M. Gross, assistant general
freight a&ent, Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, chairman; J. E. Weller,
general western frefght agent, Penn
sylvania lines, Chicago, 111.; John Cal
lahan, representing superintendent
freight transportation, Pennsylvania
Lines West of Pittsburgh; G. H. Bur
tis, representing superintendent
freight transportation, Pennsylvania
Railroad East of Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh was selected as the loca
tion for carrying on the clearing house
work of the special committee because
it is the most central point of the en
tire system, affording the quickest
communication by wire with all points
of the lines east and wesv.
This practice will be maintained In
order that the export freight traffic
may be strictly controlled, and the
movement of foodstuffs and other
necessities for domestic consumption
may be as free as possible. This is
in conformity with the established pol
icy of the Pennsylvania System to
give foodstuffs for home use prefer
ence in movement over all other kinds
of freight.

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce
The answer of most fat people is
that it is too hard, too troublesome
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola. Pres
cription Tablets, all theso difficulties
aro overcome. They are absolutely
harmless, entail no, dieting or exer
cise, and have the added advantage
of cheapness. A large case is sold
by druggists at 75b. Or if preferable,
they can be obtained by sending price
direct to the Marmola Co., 884 Wood
ward Ave., Detroit, Mich. Now that
you know this you have no excuse
for being too fat, but can reduce two,
three or four pounds a week with
out fear of bad after-effects.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
NEWS OF STEELTON
DROP IN STEEL
PRICES COMING
Quotations Are Expected to
Come Nearly in Line With
Contract Levels
Pigiron continues to hold the spot
light. The spurt which the car con
gestion gave % to prompt delivery buy
ing two and three weeks ago was ac
centuated in the past week by still
high and more widely divergent prices.
Dependent largely on the present un
usual situation, prices are sooner or
later expected to come more nearly
in line with contract levels. Interfer
ence with contract shipments has af
fected steelmaking as well as foun
dry iron.
In summarizing the situation the
Iron Age of to-day says:
"With every day that much nearer
the final removal of the snow barrier
and with the improvement noted in
car movements, industry is again look
ing forward, although rail shipping
questions are still the greatest concern.
Destruction of shipping by submarines
has not yet been a factor. That stocks
at seacoast terminals may ultimately
check operations at mills is regarded
as so remote as not yet to warrant
consideration.
"What is noteworthy in the interna
tional situation is an inflow of in
quiries, which shows no diminution.
Coupled with a heavy domestic de
mand and generally low stocks in the
plants o fconsumers, some strength is
given to the talk of still higher prices
for finished steel.
Buying for the Government's pre
paredness needs goes on slowly, wait
ing largely the disposition of tile ap
propriation bills now before Congress.
It Is practically estabil&hed that the
Mid vale Steel and Ordnance Company
will provide facilities for malting 16-
inch navy guns, and probably $2,000,-
000 will be expended for the additional
equipment.
"Some fresh sidelights on the do
mestic situation may be briefly sum
marized: Numbers of blast furnaces
have sold their entire output into Oc
tober. Pigiron contracts are reported,
covering shipments extending into the
lirst half of 1918. It appears that
some 250,000 tons of steel bars for the
agricultural imprement manufacturers
have been closed for the last half.
Fully 300,000 tons of plates, it is esti
mated, could be sold on domestic ac
count for delivery through 1918. Fair
sized lots of' boiler tubes for use a few
months hence have sold at 20 per cent,
above going prices, which represent
themselves unusually high profits.

t Brother and Sister Both Relieved
by Remedy Available to
In her gratitude for a remedy that
saved her from the possible necessity
for an operation, Mrs. Carrie Ileflln, of
Coats, Kans., writes: "Had it not been
for Fruitola and Traxo I might have
been on the operating table by now. It
relieved me of at least one hundred
and fifty gall stones. It surely does
work wonders. My brother also had
suffered for years and has been great
ly benefitted by Fruitola and Traxo."
Fruitola and Traxo are compounded
from the original Edsall formulas at
the Pinus laboratories in Monticello,
111., and can be purchased in drug
stores; * doctor's prescription is not
necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil

that cause so much suffering, discharg
ing the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually
sufficient to in.dlcate Its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most
effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system.

Lettin' You in on the Secret
IJ Some of these older boys who've been
smokin' King Oscars ever since they were
created a quarter of a century ago, can't un
derstand how ,we keep 'em so regular.
If Here's the answer we always buy the best
that Nature produces.
Cf 'Course she has her off years in tobacco, y'ust
as she does in apples and peaches and other
crops.
<1 But you know it's seldom she ever makes a
complete failure. There's some section or
other in the world where she'll raise good apples
or good peaches, no matter how contrary she is
elsewhere.
•J Same way with tobacco.
IJ 'Course those years cost us a heap of money
'cause when the supply is low, the price is •
high. But we can't get away from that qual
ity-regularity in King Oscars. We just take our
medicine, regardless of cost, and serve up in the
same old style

KING OSCAR
5 CENT CIGARS
IJ And there's oniy one thing that'll ever change
that policy when old Ma Nature falls down
on the job completely, and simply won't raise
any tobacco of A-l quality anywhere in the
world.
IJ But you needn't worry about that for some
time to come.
If Back in 1914 she overdid the trick raised
tobacco of record-breaking quality all over the
world. .

Cf It's been passin' through a curin' process i
since, and as soon as it was ready for the
maker, we did, in buyin', what Ma Nature dicfl
in growin' beat all previous records. fl
CJJ So you're sure of one thing the same ol<l
regularity of King Oscar quality that's what' 9
won 'em a lot of staunch, loyal friends in th>efl
past is goin' to go right along for a good long
spell.
IJ They're better to-day than they ever were—
if you're not smokin' 'em, you're missin' more 4
than you ever did.
(f 5 cents at the nearest dealer's will prove it.
