A Very Busy Place and a Great Deal of Work Has Been Turned Out. GRIP SUFFERERS MUSI BE CIFUL A Little Caution on Part of tin Sufferer May Prevent a Case of Pneumonia. of diseases, and yet perhaps no oilier grave malady can be so easily evaded by vigilant self-poi Lectins. BETTER PASSENGER ACCOM MODATIONS ON THE 6. & M. From Wednemlay'a Dally. There are a great many cases of grippe this season and very often pneumonia follows. And the I rouble is that the malady is as liable to affect the strong and robust as it is I be feeble and deli cate. Indeed, persons who boast of vigorous health have especial jiecd for caution, for they are prone lo regard a "slight cold' as a mere Lrille of no concern. Tor all Itiese one safe rule may be laid down at Ibis lime of the year, namely, that every .sufferer from a cold should consult Hie family physician. A cold, supplemented, by I li.it "run-down" or "lired feel ing," is ofleu a precursor of wunel lung more serious and dangerous. In the case of the strong man or woman, as well as the weak, persistent disregard oT these danger signals is a templ ing of fate. When Ihe cold or cough comes, the simple precautions tint all physicians prescribe, such as light ami judicious dieting, an rtpiilahle temperature in the home, ollice or workshop, avoid ance of drafts and other forms of exposure, and the clothing of the body in a rational way, should be observed. Hut, as we have inti mated, the best reliance of all is the doctor's advice. With the lowering of I ho temperature and the advent of old-fashioned win ter weather, now seemingly at linnd, pneumonia and the grippe will lose some of their terrors: but in a Duel iialing climate like ours vigilant care of the body is es- ncnlial throughout Ihe winter months. Pneumonia is one, of the most dreaded and treacherous From WpilnoHiliiy's Dally. The committee ol the Comnicr rial club that made a visit to Ihe ImrliiiKtiui headquarters in Oma ha to interview the olllcials in re gard lo securing belter train serv ice hetween this cily and Omaha and Lincoln, received encourage ment from the gentlemen inter viewed that they would try am adjust Ihe service soa s to pro. vide better service here. The pro. posed change of No. 1 to run via Omaha, if it could be scheduled to slop here, would furnish an excel lent train both lo Lincoln and Omaha, and the running of No. L'.'l on its old schedule of 1 :rH wouh also allow those having business in Omaha to complete I heir tasks and return to this city on No. 1 whereas at the present Ihe run ning lime of No. -.'I allows only an hour and twenty minutes in Oma ha to the passengers, and it is ilmost impossible for anyone to attend to any amount of business in that length of time. Another mailer touched upon was that of having No 1 i run as a strictly passenger train instead of a mixed freight and passenger tram, as at present. IMattsniouth sends most of its passenger and freight busi ness over the Jlurlington road, and it should be entitled lo a bel ter servico between here and Oma ha, especially on No. 23, which is used to a great extent by the traveling public, of this cily.

The local shops have been greatly improved in ellieiency un der Ihe able management of Superintendent of Shops Ilaird, and Ihe amount of work turned out here has been greatly in creased to the number of men employed than the record for former years show. Last year the shops here turned out 3tt pas senger coaches, repaired and ready for service, or in other words, a coach for every day in the year, and this broke all pre vious records made in the shops by some thirty-three coaches. The next highest number was in 1910, when there were more men em ployed and the working hours wcro longer, and it shows that the system of managing the shops is joins constantly improved. The boiler shop here has just completed the first of five engine tanks that are to be sent to llave- ock lo be placed on Ihe loco motives which are built there, with the exception of the tanks thai are turned out here. The tank will leave today and bo ready for service at once. Another great movenunt that has been undertaken in the shops here is the campaign for Ihe safelv of the employes from in jury by gelling mixed up with Ihr Machines that are used in diller- cnt parts of the shops. In the plaining mill, where the different saws have in the past made the work there very dangerous, the system of protection to Ihe em ployes has been made as near per fect as possible; heavy rails have been placed around the different bell1- to prevent the clothing of employes gelling caught in them, as well as a system of self-locking I brow-off s that prevent a machine being started up without the knowledge of Ihe man running the machine. The saws have all been equipped wilh guards, as well as have the diTerenl gears of the ma chine, and if is about as near absolute safely in that department as it is possible to make it. One of the safely deires on the lie plug culling machine is the idea of Mr. Haird himself. The ma chine consists of a long piece of llevilde wood I hat is used to guide the woodii blocks toward the saw, and in the past it, was Ihe habit of those running the ma chine to hold Ihe blocks wilh Iheir hand until the idea of Mr. liaird's was carried out and the operator is now not compelled lo risk los ing a hand unless it is through sheer carelessness on the part of Ihe operator of Ihe saw. The foreman of Ibis department, Mr. Tippens, has made every effort to prevent injury in his shop and lias been very successful in hold ing the number of accidents to the lowest possible figure. The safely devices have been placed very extensively in the machine shop and almost all the machines used there where there is the least danger of the employes get ting their hands or clothing caught has been protected by shields anil guards, ami if a man can gel his baud caught in any of mi he will have to deliberately stick his hand under the different protecting guards. Foreman Wales is a. great believer in the safety first idea and he has done his utmost to impress Ibis idea on the different employes of the ma chine shop. The large emery wheels that are used in Ibis de partment are all provided with glasses to protect the eyes of those grinding and has had oilier safely appliances placed on the wheels to prevent, the clothing of those grinding being caught in (In wheel When anyone is working on the shafting in that depart ment Ihey have a large sign placed on Ihe engine warning any one from starting the engine un til tho man employed on Ihe sliafl- ing has returned to the ground. As a result of Ihe efforts of the kop superintendent and the fore men in the different departments there has been only one accident happen on Ihe machines in the shops that was not due to some carlessness on Ihe pari, of the man injured or someone helping him, which is' qnile often Ihe case. There has been a great deal of difficulty in gelling Ihe workmen to co-operate as Ihey properly should in an effort lo prevent ac cidents to each oilier, but they aro gradually awakening to a realiza- ion that tho campaign undertaken by Ihe officials is to Iheir benefit Submit for the Consideration of a thinking Public Win.

The Burlington brass foundry liuring the year jusL closed, has turned out a very large amount of brass of different kinds, as well as solder and piston packing. In the car brasses there was turned out in round numbers 975,(100 pounds and of engine brasses 900,000 pounds. The value of this may lie appreciated when it, is under stood that Ihe brass is worth from 18 to 'JO cenls per pound, and be sides Ihe cost of Ihe, brass there is the price of the labor that enters into the making of these brasses. During the year Foreman Lutz and bis force of workmen have been very busy and Ihe output of Iheir foundry would be a credit to a much larger foundry. The en tire shops has greatly improved in the amount of work turned out since William Haird has held the ollice of shop superintendent and be is constantly striving to bring it, up lo the highest standard po sible.
