burg, says: "I had terrible pains
across my back and I didn't sleep
well at night I was very nerv
ous, and when I got np in the
morning 1 was more tired than
when I went to bed. Finally 1
reid of Doan's Kidney Pills. 1
gave them a trial. They helped
me immediately. Before long my
back was free from pain."
LASTING RELIEF.

Conrad said: "I haven't needed
any remedy for backache or kid
ney trouble since Doan's Kidney
Pills cared me."

Costly Milk.
A herd of about a dozen dairy
cows was carefully and accurate
ly tested recently and it was
found that some of them produc
ed milk at a cost of two and a
half cents per quart, and that
others produced at a cost which
varied all the way up to seven
and a half cents. The average
cost was close to five cents. Nov
why not test all cows and keep
none that produce milk at great
cost? Hundreds of cows right
here in Fulton county must be
i "eating their heads off."

as he was ascending the moun

cover that he had played the part
of some foolish girls we read a

neglected to fill his vessels with
oil before he left Hustontown.

others who had "cold feet" that
day.

Do You Know that Railroad
. Expansion Makes Work
and Stimulates Industry?
Money saved by the railroads flows back to the people. The
$2,000,000 paid annually by the railroads of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey to unnecessary trainmen, forced upon them by the Full
Crew or " excess man crew " Laws, deprives the people of the
big benefits and advantages this money, properly expended, would .
bring.
Because the efficient development of the railway industry in
these States is so materially identified with the prosperity of the
farmer, business man, working man, and ocores of more on less af
filiated industries, the railroads ask the people to help them save
this huge amount now absolutely wasted that it may go to
useful purposes and work toward restoration of general prosperity. '
This $2,000,000 spent for 80 locomotives, for example, would
make one year's work for 1745 men, as follows:
In the locomotive shops ' . . . 894
In the various processes of producing tha 29,200,000 pounds
of material going into these locomotives, 851 men would
get employment as follows :
In steel mills ....206
In blast furnaces ......... 43
In iron mines 140
In coal and coke production ....... 60
In other work . . ... . . . . . . 400 x , .
Wages for all these men would amount to $1,750,000. This -wage
money going into circulation would make work in hundreds
' of other directions.
Railroad development bears upon all industries. It affects
hundreds of businesses, thousands of individuals. Under normal
conditions, the railroads constitute a great constructive force. In
creasing their facilities and improving their systems results in
stimulating all industry and business and automatically creates
work for innumerable persons in many occupations.
Increased industrial activity swells passenger and freight traf
fic. This means more trains and real work for additional crews.
In turn, it necessitates more locomotives and cars, increased equip
ment, erection of new and remodeling of old stations, reduction of
grades and curves, elimination of grade crossings, construction of
sidings in producing territories, increased passenger and freight
terminal facilities.
The welfare of the people and the prosperity of the railroads
are closely linked. The railroads find their prosperity in the gen
eral welfare. They seek not to decrease, but to increase, employ
ment. Communicate in person, by letter, or otherwise TODAY
with your elected representatives at Harrisburg and Trenton. Ask
them to repeal the Full Crew Laws. Call attention to the fact that,
of 282 editorials received to date, 229 urgethe repeal of the laws.
Let all get together to start the wheels of industry turning
to open wide the doors to prosperity.
