READING TRAFFIC
KEEP MEN BUSY
Officials and Employes Will
Work All Day Sunday;
Motive Power Is Scarce
Officials, yard employes and train
men, on the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway, are hustling to prevent
a freight congestion. There were no
holidays to-day and Sunday will be
Just as busy as any other day. Ruth
erford yards is the busieet place on the
Reading system.
Assistant General Manager F. M.
Kalck spent sometime at Rutherford
yards to-day and will lie on hand to
morrow to assist in moving the freight
from East and West. For sometime
shipments from the West and South
have been exceedingly heavy.
Motive Power Scarce
The freight and coal trade continues
to boom. On Thursday the Reading
handled more than 18,000 cars, in
cluding about 1,400 cars of anthracite
on one division.
Local coal dealers are wondering
where the coal is going, as scarcely
any of it comes to this city. It is the
general supposition that nearly all of
the 1,400 cars per day are sent to
tidewater.
It Is said that the Reading company
could use fifty more locomotives in
the cal and freight service. The
castbound shipments are enormous
and congestions at the Rutherford
yard are becoming frequent because
of a shortage of power to take care
of the traffic.

IF MM OH
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast.
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, thev become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps |
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is irritated, and you may }
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache. sick headache, dizziness, stomach
gets sour, tongue coated and you feel
rheumatic twinges when the weather
Is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table-1
spoonful In a glass of water before I
breakfasi for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
ous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithla, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activ
ity, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer is a source of
Irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts 1%, inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep,
the kidneys clean and active. Drug
gists here say they sell lots of Jad
Salts to folks who believe in over
coming kidney trouble while it is only
trouble.

RAILWAY MEN TO
PUT OFF CONGRESS
War Conditions Will Not Per
mit Time For Personal
Interests
Atlantic City, April 21. Railro'ad
men of the country, comprising 3,000
members each of the Master Car
Builders' Association and the Master
Mechanics' Association, which build
and repair the rolling stock of vir
tually all of the big and little lines in
the United States and Canada, have
put patriotism and preparedness
above business and pleasure and can
celed the annual railway congress.
The convention, one of the greatest
of national railroad meetings, was to
have been held here in June, in ac
cordance with custom for ten years
past, in connection with an exhibit by
the National Railway Supply Manu
facturers' Association. year the
exhibit covered more than 80,000
square feet.
The decision to abandon this year's
meeting, for which shore hotclmen al
ready were making preparations, was
reached at a meeting of the joint ex
ecutive committee of the three asso
ciations in New York yesterday. >
(Jive Up Personal Interests
The impelling reason was disincli
nation upon the part of the railroad
chiefs to devote any time to their per
sonal advantage which might be need
ed for the service of the nation. The
decision was communicated to-day to
Albert T. Bell, chairman of the con
vention committees of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Hotel Men's
Association. It follows:
"The proposed June convention of
our associations has been postponed
for one year. Conditions existing in
the country having had their effect
upon business, the patriotic impulse
of our people to refrain from any ex
penditure ot time and money that
might be of use to our country in its
necessities impels this decision.
"We sincerely trust that this post
ponement is but for one year, and
that in 1918 we shall have a larger
convention than ever."
Hotclmen promptly wired their ap
proval of the course taken, regardless
of the fact that the loss of the conven
tion deprives the city of one of the
biggest and most profitable meetings
of the yeas.

HARRISBtniO TELEGRXPH
|To the Public: !
WE are confronted with the 5
most serious condition that the |
j bread-baking industry has ever j
! been called \ipon to * face. For !
I months we have borne the entire |
I burden of constantly rising costs of J
| materials, which now threatens the very I
j life of the industry. 2
• Profits have been sacrificed that the retail price •
I of bread might remain the same—but the cost of I
• materials continued to go higher and higher. ■ -
I Bakers in all parts of the country have faced the same conditions and A
I almost without exception, have met the problem in the same way.
f Let us show, in a very few figures, the present prices of bread-making 111 - •
terials, compared with those of normal times:—
| Normal Price Present Price 5
J $4.50 Flour $12.50
I .04% Sugar .08 •
I .07% Lard .23 I
! .OVAMiIk .07 J
.05 Malt .07 |
• $2.85 Coke $ll.OO J*
|. .11 Gasoline .23 I
• .48 Horse Feed sl.lO
Increase in Cost of Labor, 20 per cent *
• We are not going to force these increased costs onto the shoulders of the "
consumer, however. We will continue to carry the greater part of this gigan
tic burden. But we are brought face to face with but three alternatives:—'
I —to materially cut •
• quality of the loa|
| to slightly advance J
• of the loaf. §
a —or, selling our goo J
loss. I
A The first, we do not believe you want. The second alternative is the only
| answer, for the third would be positively ruinous.
On, and after Monday, April 23rd, the retail price of t
i Bricker's Bread i
1 will be 6c and 12c—the larger loaf, however, will be larger than the one now 8
sold at 10c. The 5c loaf of Bricker's Rye Bread will be discontinued altogeth
er, and, instead, a size to retail at 12c will be made. •
™ We feel that this explanation is due The Public and ask that you bear
9 with us during the present crisis. ™
