THE TRUTH ABOUT
ECZEMA AND PILES
Thousands and thousands of people,
says Peterson, are learning every
week that one 25 cent box of Peter
son's Ointment will abolish Eczema
and banish piles, and the grateful let
ters I receive every day are worth
more to me than money.
I had Eczema for many years on my
head and could not get anything to do
it any good. I saw your ad and got
one box and I owe you many thanks
for the good it has done me. There
isn't a blotch on my head now, and I
couldn't help but thank Peterson, for
the cure is great, Mrs. Mary Hill, 420
Third Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa.
I have had itching piles for 15 years
and Peterson's is the only ointment
that relieves me, besides the piles
seem to have gone. A. B. Ruger, 1127

Use Peterson's Ointjnent for old
pores, salt rheum and all skin diseases.
It banishes pimples and blackheads in
less than 10 days and leaves the skin
clean, clear and pleasant to look upon.
Druggists guarantee it. Peterson's

RAILROAD RUMBLES
PENNSY PLANS
ANOTHERMERGER
Takes in All Lines West *of
Pittsburgh; Directors
to Act Later
Philadelphia, Nov. 22.—Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, answering the
published rumors of an amalgama
tion of the eastern and western lines
of the Pennsylvania system said:
"The board of directors is con
sidering the acquisition by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company of the
Pennsylvania Company, with a view
to assuming directly the operation
of the western lines comprising in
the northwest system, chiefly the
Pittsburgh, Port Wayne and Chicago
Railway, the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad, the Erie and Pitts
burgh Railroad, and other roads now
entirely owned and operated by the
Pennsylvania Company. All the cap
ital stock of the Pennsylvania Com
pany is owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Merffer Lines
The lines marked for immediate
merging are the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad
and the Erie and Pittsburgh Rail
road.
Consolidation of the subsidiary
lines has been taking place for sev
eral years in the effort of the rail
road company to bring the relation
ship of controlled companies closer
to the operating head of the sys
tem.
The Pennsylvania Railroad lias
115 separate roads embraced in its
system, "114 of which." said Mr.
Rea, "should be eliminated." The
elimination of the expense necessary
for making up reports in each of
these companies, he pointed out, was
needless. In the entire country there
are more than 2,300 roads, which,
said Mr. Rea, could be included in
a dozen of the most important sys
tems. Continuing, President Rea
said:
In Line With Policy
"The acquisition of the Pennsyl
vania Company, which the directors
are considering, is in line with our
policy of eliminating unnecessary
corporations and duplicate account
ing and financing. Whether it is
finally consummated or not, it will
not disturb the experienced and ef
ficient organization of the Pennsyl
vania system now at Pittsburgh,
which has charge of the administra
tion and operation of the western
lines. Under the present pressure
of traffic and in order to assist most
effectively in the prosecution of the
war, we need more experenced offi
cers instead of decreasing the num
ber."
Commissioner Conklin is in Bed
ford and Cambria counties on fores
try inspections.

Coal Company, of this city, capital
$40,000, has been chartered by G. L.

I missioner of Agriculture to-day
