11 THE BblE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. AUGUST 18. 1917. D.P.WILL ABANDON . TRAINSASWARACT Service West of Gate City to Be Sharply Curtailed, Releasing- Many Locomotives and Crews. EXPRESS SERVICE TO BECURTAILED Collection and Delivery of Par cels to Cease at Jive O'clock, Begining on August 27. Purely as a war measure to con serve passenger equipment and that there may be more engine power v available for handling freight, August 22 the Union Pacific will begin the consolidation of its passenger trains. On the date named No. . IS, the Colorado Express, leaving Onihaa at 4:20 each afternoon, and No. 3 the California Mail, leaving Omaha at 4:30 o'clock, will be consolidated into one train. This train will do local busi ness to North Platte, where it will split and, taking the old numbers. Xo. " 15 will run on to Denver and Xo. 3 to San Francisco, the same as now. On the eastbound run No. 14, the Omaha train from Denver, will come to North Platte, where it will con solidate with No. 10, the San Fran cisco limited, and do local business into Omaha, arriving at midnight, fifty-five minutes earlier than No. 10 fts in at the present time. No. 4, the Portland train, will do local business through Nebraska, reaching here at 7 o'clock in the morning instead of at 6:50, as now. To Release Engines. The consolidation of these trains will enable the Union Pacific to re lease iio.iiething like a dozen engines t : go into the freight traffic and a half docn train crews. The rearrangement of passenger irain service on the Union Pacific is fVonly the beginning: of what is to come l within tlir npxf sixtv da. While it is not likely that there will be many! changes v..i the branch lines, as. the service there is -at the minimum, something radical is expected to oc cur on the main line. According to the tentative lineup, and there is nothing to indicate that it will not stand, extra fare trains as such will be abandoned. Nos. 1 and 2, the Overland Limited, and Nos. 7 and 8, the Los Angeles Limited, will ; continue to run on schedules approxi mately the same as now, but they will be regular fare trains. On all four of the crack trains that the Union tV.Uic is now running be tween Omaha and the Pacific coast about September 15, the date of the close of the tourist season, tourist and chair cars will be added to the equipment and they will carry all per sons who are provided with first class tickets, the bonus, or extra fare, for riding them being eliminated. . Omaha Girls Are Only Slightly Hurt in Wreck Ila and Edna Bridges, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bridges. 2911 South Eighteenth street, have returned fr6m Chicago, where they were in a railroad wreck with Florence M. Hoye, daugh ter nf Mr. anil Mrs. Fred 11. Hove. 2010 Oak street. Miss Hoye. at first reported se verely injured, suffered only minor bruises and a shock. She is ex pected home this week. Edna Bridges buffered laceration or a knee. The wreck occurred at the Great Lakes Naval Training station. A local train, in which the three Omaha women were seated, was crashed into by a Chicago, North Shore & Mil waukee railroad train. A sham battle which was in pro gress at the training station at the time of the wreck was not interrupted. Ambulances and surgeons were sum moned from the "battleground" with out apprising thousands of spectators uf the wreck. Opening of New Drying , Plant Is Postponed Opening of the South Side fruit and .vegetable drying plant, scheduled for Saturday night, has been postponed until Monday evening. The Women Voters" Conservation league was forced to change the date because lor; C. W. Pugsley of the state university, who was to give the demonstration, H unable to come Sat urday. South Side merchants also re quested the date to be changed so they, too, might attend the opening. River Baptismal Service Will Take Place Sunday ' Four disciples of the Pleasant Green Baptist church, 1417 North Twenty fourth street, will be baptised in the Missouri river Sunday at the foot of Pacific street. Rev. J. Costello, pas tor of the Pleasant Green church, wilt preside. The baptismal services will take place at 3 o'clock. Persons desiring to come to the 'services should take the Harney car, alighting at Poppleton avenue, ana walk two blocks east. Beginning August 27, the express companies iti Omaha will shut off all deliveries and collections of parcels after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This is part of a movement recom mended fo; the whole country by the National Council of Defense. It was recommended because it was believed it would work toward the release of a number of baggage cars. ; . Omaha expressmen say this will release at least six baggage cars daily in Omaha, as it has released many all over the . east already. The Adams Express company alone, it is said, will release two cars by cutting off its collection of parcels at 5 o'clock. The parcels thus coming in earlier in the day can be assembled earlier and sent out on the earlier trains, so that the trains which come later in the evening will not find Omaha with a heavy demand for baggage cars. Perishable Goods Excepted. One exception only is made in the deliveries. Perishable good- will be delivered after 5 o'clock to save them. It is thought by the express com panies that this new system -will be especially pleasing to some of the em ployes, especially teamsters, since it will mean that they can get away from the office by 6 o'clock, whereas when they delivered and collected up to 6 o'clock they seldom got away before 7 or 7:30. The assembling of parcels and the caring for the teams took the remainder ot tnc nnie., Credit Men Plan to Aid Boys in the Army Credit meu of the Omaha associa tion plan to give any aid in their tmwer lit srmv men affiliated with credit men's organizations, the coun try over.

Add milk, cheese, fruit, fresh fish to vegetable articles and you have a good diet. The rheumatic should ab stain from meats, or eat very spar ingly. It is a well-known fact that in gout seriou organic disease of the kidneys occurs. Such scientists as Futcher, Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and Reach have shown that uric acid in excess is retained in the blood when the kidneys do not help excreta this Eoison. Uric acid retained within th ody is believed to be the preceding stage or cause of Bright's disease. The excessive use of nitrogenous food or meats ouen increases uric acid. constipation, disturbance of the liver, frequent chilling oi the Doay ait re sult m retaining within the body an excess of urie acid. The best way to overcome this con dition and prevent rheumatism and gout is to drink plenty of water, say, a pint of hot water morning and night with lemon juice squeezed into it, and take Anurie (double strength) three times a day. This can be ob tained at any drug store. This is my invariable prescription for the Theu, matic person, and it usually follows that the rheumatic pains, the back ache, such as lumbago, pains in the back of the neck or limbs, will dis appear. This Anuric by its tonic ef fect upon the kidneys encourages them to greater activity and thereby the uric acid is thrown out of the system. It is also well to prevent constipation and that greater evil, auto-intoxication, to take bending exercises every morning, plenty of water between meals and at least once a week take a vegetable laxative. Such a one is made of May-apple, ex tract of vegetable calomel and root of jalap, easily obtained at any drug store because sold for fifty years un der the name of Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellcjs.
