"No Medicine in 4 Years'-Internal Baths Mr. A. Czarnecki writes Pr. Chas. A. Tyrrell, of New York, as follows: "I must admit that the use of the 'J. B. D. Cascade' has cured my chronic constipation from which I suffered. Since May 12, 1913, I have never even tasted any kind of patent j medicine or purgative. My health is excellent in every respect." Over half a million bright, keen, intelligent American* have found that Bathing is more essential to their health than external baths- Have found that used occassionally at night they feel like different people the next morning. No more of that bilious, tired, nervous feeling., but having Nature's own cleanser—anti septic warm water —removed all the poisonous waste from the lower intes tine. they awake thoroughly refresh- I ed by normal sleep with all their j functions acting properly, clear head-1 ed. happy and confident, eager and I capable for the duties of the day.

The big session is scheduled to take place at Eagle's Hall, starting at 8 o'clock, and will include a package party, smoker and vaudeville features. Orders on the daylight saving plan have been post- j ed throughout the system. Geiveral j order No. 573, effective 2 a. m., Sun-j day, March 31, went out yesterday from the office of F. W. Smith, Jr., superintendent of the Philadelphia division. It tells of the stopping of all trains, referred to in the Harris burg Telegraph two days ago, and is as follows: General Order Clocks in train dispatcher's offices, and in all other offices open at that time must be advanced one hour to indicate 3 a. m. Employes in every open office must j as soon as the change has been i made, compare time with the train I dispatcher. Clocks in all offices at I the first opening, at or after the time the change becomes effective, must be advanced to conform to the new, standard time, and employes, before j assuming duties in such offices, must, I after the change is made, compare j time with the train dispatcher. On single track, all trains must be at a standstill at 2 a. m„ Sunday, March 31, and at that hour, conduc tors and enginemen will advance their watches one hour to indicate 3 a. m., and will then proceed, under the rules to the next open telegraph or telephone office and compare time with the clock at that point.

This important addition has i been underway for some time, but was halted because of the inability to get rails, and due to the winter congestion. Theie are eleven tracks with a total capacity of 800 cars. I The contractors have already | started work on the construction of {additional tracks for eastern j freight shipments. This work, it is I believed, will be completed by June | 1, and the new tracks will accom ! modate 1,000 cars. Rutherford I yards are the busiest section on the Reading system. More east and ; westbound freight is handled in one j day af this point than In any yard j on the main line. I Because of the increased cost of i material the uniforms of railroad men fwill cost very much more than they did several years ago. It is said that the cost has almost doubled. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has substituted a singlebreasted sack coat for the doublebreasted frock coat. Supplementary to its recent decision in Che 15 per cent, freight rate case, the Interstate Commerce Commission to-day gave permission to carriers to I increase coal tariffs by not more than fifteeh cents per long ton on ship ments from the United States to Ca nadian destinations, the increase to accrue to carriers within the United States. !
