Bad Stomach Trouble
Yields to Delicious Vinol
Shreveport. La. "I had a bad
stomach trouble for years and be
iame so weak I could hardly walk or
do any work. My appetite was poor,
my food would not digest. I bloated
and was very weak and nervous. 1
tried many remedies without help.
1 saw Vinol advertised and tried it,
and now m> stomach trouble is com
pletely curod and I am well."—E. L.
Marshall.
Vinol is guaranteed to tone up the i
tired, over-taxed and weakened j
nerves of the stomach and create !

All Officers Must Know How
to Use Revolvers Says Cap
tain Paul L. Barclay
Marksmanship will be a big factor
with Pennsylvania Railroad police,
starting with to-day. Captain of Po
lice Paul 1. Barclay wants his men
to be able to shoot with both rifle and
revolver. He does not want them to
shoot promiscuously, but when shots
are required he wa*nts them to count.
Commencing with to-day squads
will be sent to Mt. Gretna at inter
vals for practice. Each officer will
be required to qualify within a cer
tain time. Practice starts first with
revolver shooting. IV t?e practice will
come later. Captain Barclay said to
day:
Muni Be Good Marksmen
"All policemen should be good
marksmen. It is not necessary to
kill. Sometimes a bullet in the leg
will bring better results. Killing is
the last resort, when a man's life
is in jeopardy. We must capture the
fugitives who try to get away. AN ith
the target practice will come in
structions as to how an officer should
behave when the use of a revolver is
necessary. Sometimes lie must shoot
with other people around. A good
marksman will be able to bring down
his quarry without endangering the
liyes of others. You must know how
to use a revolver effectively on all
occasions.
Itifle Shooting
"Rifle shooting is not a necessity
with railroad officers at present, but
if they call all soldiers from present
guard duty to go abroad or take up
army duty elsewhere, it will be nec
essary for railroad officers on duty
at bridges and munition plants and
along the railroad to be equipped
with rifles as well as revolvers. It
will not be a waste of time for offi
cers to learn how to shoot effectively
with a rifle as well as revolvers.'
K EXPLODES W11.1.S FIVE
Philadelphia. May 2.—Five men
were killed here late last night when
a freight locomotive was blown to
pieces by a bursting boiler in the
West Philadelphia yards of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Low water in the
boiler was given as the cause. All
the victims were employes of the
company.

TRAFFIC KEEPS
TRAINS MOVING
Middle Division Movement
During March Was Heavy;
Not Up to Record
While not up to previous records
when freight business was conducted
without intei ruptions in way of con
gestions and war orders, traffic on
the Middle division of the Pennsy
last month was heavy. Officials say
it was possible to handle more cars.
1 but they are pleased with results.
April is usually a busy month for
freight traffic.
The total number of freight cars
passing over the Middle division of
the Pennsy last month was 155.592,
or 13,101 less than March, and 24,864
less than in April of 1916. The aver
age daily movement of freight cars
was 6,156.,
The eastbound track was passed
over by 85.847 cars, while 90.654 were
bound westward. Of this total 110,-
222 were loaded and "5,370 empty.
During March 198,903 cars passed
over the division with an average
movement of 6,419 cars a day. Of
this number in March 115,056 were
loaded.
April of 1916 was one of the ban
ner months and during that period a
total of 210.456 freight cars passed
over the division, for a daily average
of 7,105.
Not Ready For Women
Until Officials Report
Local railroad officials were unable
to say when the plans for employing
women would be put in operation.
General Manager Elisha Lee, in liis
statement yesterday, said general su
perintendents will tirst make a sur
vey to ascertain what positions the
women may best fill. Until they re
port. and conditions warrant, no ac
tion will be taken here. General
Manager Lee says:
No men will be dropped from the
payrolls to make way for women, al
though some may be called upon to
change the form of their occupation.
"Stenography, typewriting and prac
tically all other kinds of clerical
work will be open to women at once.
This will apply not only at the gen
eral offices in Philadelphia, but also
at all other offices where large cler
ical forces are employed, including
agencies, freight stations and trans
fers.
"The investigation to be conducted
by the general superintendents will
also be directed to ascertaining
whether or not girls and women may
be advantageously employed In other
positions, including the lighter forms
of machine shop work, telegraphy,
telephony, signaling, train dispatch
ing, ticket selling and ear cleaning."
