T. Tyson, superintendent of the Reading Division of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway. The general opin ion prevails that this notice aftects employes of all big trunk lines. The nolle follows: "At my request. S. M. Fejton, who is connected with the War Depart ment. as director general of military railways, asked General Crowder for an ouflihe of the attitude of the War Department towards skilled railroad CROSS, FEVERISH CRILD IS BILIOUS OR CONSTIPATED Look, Mother! See if tongue is coated, breath hot or stomach sour. "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, , liver, bowels. Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs," that this is their ideal laxa tive, because they love Its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without griping.- When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful 'child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stom achache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colie—remember, a good "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given.

A little Danderine to-night—now— any time—will surely save your hair. Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter for a few cents, and after the first application your hair will' take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy an<J luffy and have the appearance of abundance, in Incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after Just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, :lowny hair—new hair —growing all aver the scalp. Danderine is' to the hair what rresh showers of rain and sunshine ire to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strength ns them. Its exhilarating and life producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. FRIDAY EVENING. employes in connection with the se lective draft law. I call your atten tion to Mr. Felton's letter to me. reading as follows: "1 have had a conference with Gen eral Crowder. According to the se lective regulations. all essential skilled railway men are placed in class II in the classification for the draft, from which they will be called only if required as soldiers in highly technical work In the line of their specialty. The railway will not, how ever. have to furnish all the men for military railroad work, for the in dustrial index system will make avail able former railway employes who are now engaged in other industries. The Procedure "The procedure, which it is pro posed to follow in filling up new rail way units needed for foreign serv ice. is as follows: " 'Requisitions will be made on the provost marshal general for men of the required qualifications. These will be supplied through special draft men by the industrial index records to be qualified, and. as far as possible, skilled men in. other indus tries will be taken before the supply of skilled men in railway work is affected tinder this plan the draft of skilled men now working for the railways will be very small.' "I trust that the above information will prove of value in giving a more definite idea as to the policy of the War Department toward skilled rail road employes. I think It is entirely consistent with the policy above out lined for the claim still to be made, in cases where the claim is justified that such employes shall be given more deferred classification other than class 2. as for example, class 3. when they can be fairly claimed to he 'necessary highly specialized, tech nical or mechanical experts.'

It is said that plans are now under consideration for the enlargement of other yards. The Reading Eagle says: "The Reading Railway Company is doing an immense business and the officials are llndlng difficulty in tak ing care of the volume of trade that has been turned over to It. The great trouble is a lack of terminal facili ties in and about Philadelphia, East Penn Junction and other points. Woodlane yard frequently becomes chocked up with freight because of the inability of the sidings within the Philadelphia city limits to take care of it. Hold Out Many Cars "Thousands of carloads of material have been held out at intervals, much of which was consigned to Hog Is land. Port Richmond is another ter minal where more room is urgently needed. East Penn Junction is an other point where more siding is urgently needed. During the past year there have been intervals when the connecting lines have been un able to take the business as rapidly as it was offered and as a result these trains were either held out along the linear sidetracked and the crews sent home. "General Manager F. M. Falck and General Superintendent W. H. Keller were at Rutherford yesterday looking over the* situation. Never before have the crews been kept so busy in taking care of the business that is now pouring into that yard from the West and Southwest." It is said the Russian locomotives, which can be heard a mile away when using a full head of steam, are causing numerous llres along the Lebanon Valley and East Penn. None of these, however, have resulted in any serious loss to property, but re quire watching on the part of the employes and others whose proper ties join the Reading's right of way. Harold A. Eppley, chief clerk at the Pennsylvania Bureau of Information, 1 who has been ill, .has returned to work.

MAJOR YOCUM DEAD By Associated Press Lancaster, Pa., April s.—Major Joseph W. Yocum, editor of the Co lumbia Spy, and one of the "best known newspapermen in this section, died this morning at his home in Columbia, aged 75 years.

STUART SPEAKS IN SPROUL CITY Former Governor Makes Ad dress in Behalf of the Sen ator For Governorship Ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart, at a great Republican rally in Chester last night declared that William C. Sproul, candidate ror the Republican nomination for governor, was his most potential supporter in the Sen ate of Pennsylvania In carrying out his pledge made to the people in his canvass for the governorship in 1906. He did not especially mention the fulfillment of his promise to the peo ple to probe the Capitol graft charg es, but all who heard him realized that this was one of the many great problems which Senator Sproul had helped him to solve. The presence of ex-Governor Stuart at this time, the greatest testimonial that has ever been given in Chester to a son of Delaware county, was recognized as an unusual compli ment, and his speech was frequently cheered as was a stirring address by Lieutenant Governor Frank B. McClain. Senator Sproul made a strong speech on Pennsylvania standing by the nation and doing its utmost to win the war. "The issue o floyalty cannot be raised in Pennsylvania," said the Senator in his address. ' There never was a minority party in any state at any time in the world' history which stood more loyally by the War Ad ministration than has the Republi can party of Pennsylvania. No body of public men could nave shown more devoted patriotism than its members have shown. I do not be lieve anyone who seeks to question it now will get very far on that issuV Senator Sproul said he would will ingly give up the governorship of ten states if it would build one or ten ships, or assist in furnishing muni tions to help win the great war tor democracy. "I see by to-night's pa pers," he said, "that one of the can didates says that he he will run on a platform of loya'ty. I challenge that man or any other to question the loyalty of the Republicans of ihis great Commonwealth. They have al ways measured up to more than their duty when the country needed their service and all that was in them. I will not permit any man, with out making- answer to him, to say that the party of which I am a candi date, has been disloyal. "I have been doing, and will do, all in my power to assist the govern ment to win this war. I have given of my means, my time and all that I possess toward assisting the gov ernment, and no man can charge me with disloyalty. If I thought my being nominated for the governor ship would bring back one boy from the trenches, I would gladly give up being a candidate. "I am firmly convinced that If given the chance I can accomplish much as governor of this great state, and If any man, or set of men, have gotten behind me through the be lief that I will not carry out every plarrk in my platform, they are bad ly deceived." State Senator John S. Fisher, of Indiana county , who was expected to epeak, was unable to be present and sent greetings to Senator Sproul in the form of a telegram expressing a wish for the success of the meet ing.
