ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
SICK SOLDIERS
ATTEND SCHOOL
JChief Instructor Is Walter L.
Vanaman, Harrisburg Boy;
Teaches Telegraphy
Malter I* Vanaman, of this city,
tormer wire chief for the Philadel
phia and Reading railway in this
city, is now master electrician at'the
United States General Hospital, at
Fort McHenry, Md. He is teaching'
•the sick and wounded how to help
•the nation. The former local wire
chief enlisted for service in France
■with the railroad unit in company of
Major M. A. Laucks, of this city,
lormer Reading trainmaster.
A few days previous to the time
'Bet for sailing, Mr. Vanaman was
ill with pneumonia and was
Bent to his home in this city. On his
recovery he was sent to Camp Upton
where he had a slight relapse and
•was sent to Fort McHenry. Until his
complete recovery he will not join
Jiis company now in France. The
Baltimore Sun referring to the new
duties of the master electrician says:
Starts New School
"Fort McHenry lias a new school.
_A group of convalescent soldiers are
studying telegraphy and reports
show they are making progress.
They were not assigned to the study,
hut volunteered in the hope that
they wilt not be discharged from the
army when conditions warrant their
ibeing sent away from the hospital.
They are real patriots, and a 'S. C.
X).' (surgeon's certificate of dis
charge) haunts their dreams as a
nightmare. They do not want to quit
until the war is over or until it is
■proved that they are no longer able
to serve the government.
"Walter L. Vanaman. master sig
nal electrician of the Signal Corps,
recently sent as a patient to the hos
pital, sized up the situation. Upon
his own responsibility he sent home
for a telegraph instrument and a
number of 'katy-dids'—small click
ing devices—determined to turn his
disappointment at not being able to
go to France (he was stricken with
•illness just before his unit was to
embark) into usefulness. Now there
are a lot of hopeful smiles upon the
faces of the group of enthusiastic
convalescents, who are bending every
energy to qualify as telegraphers."
Employes of the Pennsy who are
granted annual vacations are anxi
ously awaiting notice for this year's
time off. There is some talk about
cutting out all vacations on account
of shortage of men. The annual
vacations start next month.
MEAT CAUSE OF
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if your back
is aching.
Noted authority says Uric Acid
from meat irritates
the Bladder.
Meat forms uric acid which excites!
and overworks the kidneys in their i
efforts to filter it from the system.!
Regular eaters of meat must fius:i j
ihe kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve yourj
bowels; removing all the acids, waste!
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-,
ery in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get. up two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize, these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; lake a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and yotir
kidneys will then act fine and blad
der disorders disappear. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder
irritation. Jad is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful ef
fervescent lithia-water drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases.—Adv.

Railroad Shopmen Hear
Reasons For Organization;
J. J. Reynolds Is Speaker
At the first of a series of meetings
for the purpose of organizing rail
road shopmen, held last night in
White's Hall, Verbeke and James
streets. J. J. Reynolds, a national or
ganizer, read from order No. 8, is
sued by Director General McAdoo,
to show that the United States gov
ernment is not interfering with
policies outlined by labor organiza
tions. Clause No. 5 reads as follow#:
"No discrimination will be made
in the employment, retention or con
ditions of employes because of
bership or memberships in labor or
ganizations."
National Organizer Reynolds urged
the shopmen to organize for their
common good and showed the ad
vantages of an organization. The
need of one great body of railroad
workers taking in all trades and all
occupations, was pointed out by Mr.
Reynolds. There are at present twen
ty-seven distinct organizations and
the purpose of the organizers pres
ent last night was to band these
workers under one great head.
Much interest was manifested by
local shopmen last night. In attend
ance were a number from the Read
ing shops, Enola, Lucknow and
other points.
It is the intention of the men
backing the movement in this city
to hold a series of meetings both in
the afternoon and evening for sev
eral weeks. This plan will enable
men who work both tricks to attend
and if they wish join the organiza
tion.
It will be decided later *?s to
whether the shopmen of liarrisij*-rg,
Enola, Rutherford and Lucknow will
be banded together in one organiza
tion or each unit organized sepa
rately.
All records for passenger and
freight traffic were broken on the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
in 1917, according to the annual re
port just issued. There were han
dled during the year 13,035,941
passengers and 4,140,230 tons of
freight. The total traffic was equiv
alent to carrying one person 352,-
032,894 miles and one ton of freight
127,023,947 miles.

William Ingersoll, who will be seen
here in the title role of "Experience,"
when that morality
' Experience" play comes to the
Orpheum Thea
ter next week, will not soon be for
gotten by local playgoers. Mr. Inger
soll's professional career has been a
long and a successful one, although
he did not start out in life with the
intention of adopting the stage as a
profession. After graduating from
the public school in Lafayette, Ind.,
his native town, he attended PerdUe
University, taking a course in min
ing engineering. Later, while attend
ing a school of mines in Colorado, he
visited friends in Denver, and while
there was induced to take part in an
amateur presentation of "The Pirates
?u p ® nzance ." and scored such a hit
that he was persuaded to give up his
mining engineering and permanently
adopt the stage.
His first engagement was in 1882,
at the Boston Museum, at which time
he played juvenile roles. Among the
prominent stage folk with whom he
has been associated my be mentioned
Mrs. Thomas Barry, William Red
mond; he played in "The Silver
King" with Fi-azer Coulter (now play
ing Wealth In "Experience") in the
role of King; he also played with
Frank Daniels and Jenny Teamons
in "A Rag Baby." Then followed a
period of repertoire with William
Redmond and Mrs. Thomas Barry;
later with Margaret Mather in legiti
mate repertoire; with the Boston
Theater Company; with Mary Shaw;
with Marie Wainwright. succeeding
Henry Miller as Miss Wainwright's
leading man.i Mr. Ingersoll played
long stock seasons in Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, and had his own stock
company in Salt Lake City. He toured
the world with Nat Goodwin and was
later associated with DeWolf Hopper
in "El Capitan." Just before his en
gagement for the title role of "Ex
perience," Mr. Ingersoll was appear
ing with Ethel Barrymore. He has
now been with "Experience" for four
seasons.

difficulties, high cost of living, dress

in a corresponding atmosphere the
kind that clean minds and hearts ab
sorb like the dew in the warmth of
the sun on a sweet May day.
"In "One Girl's Experience," which
comes to the Orpheum, Friday and
Saturday, with daily matinees, is told
the tale of insufferable conditions of
a poor girl who just simply, plainly
and honestly works for a living—the
tired girl we pass in the streets a
hundred times a day. whose beauty
of face and simplicity of manner
