bugle calls, commanding the soldiers
to action. Follows then the rush to

, all the intense excitement of the com
ing struggle.

The battle will open with the firing
of the first trench soldiers. Artillery
will be shoved forward to protect the
advance the infantry, while a fierce
cannonading will begin as the fort is
attacked, 'i he roar of the bombard
ment and the exploding of shells and
mines is deafening. The heavens are
illuminated with bursting bombs and
the fort is blown up as reinforce
ments rush to the aid of the attacking
army.
Large eastern cities where the pro
duction has been staged pronounced
it the most thrilling spectacle of war
ever seen there. Thirty thousand
people witnessed the battle scene
when it was shown at the Fifty-first
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic.

Move Cars Required to
Handle Soldiers' Supplies
The local war board gives out the
statement that from now on the roads
of the country will be called upon to
furnish an average of 2,500 cars daily
to handle the food and supplies that
will be required to provide for the
soldiers in the various camps and
cantonments throughout the United
States. 1
-So far, by making -one car do the
work of two, it is asserted at war
board headquarters that a saving of
close to 500,000 has been ac
complished, and that with the same
number of cars in service as last year
25 per cent more freight has been
handled than before the United States
went into the war.
Relative to the assertion of the
coal dealers that they are unable to
get cars, the war board says that
within the last month the supply of
cars for carrying coal has increased
25 per cent, but that the shipments
have not increased proportionately.

Chiropractic
Health Talks
Those who have not closely fol
lowed the recent progress of scien
tific research of the body wonder
just why it is that the chiroprac
tor can "adjust the spine" for dis
eases of the stomach, liver, kid
neys, bowels as well as headaches,
nervousness, dizziness, insomnia
and the very large class known
as "Women's Diseases," or for
some other disease seemingly not
at all directly connected with the
spine.
When it is remembered that ev
ery organ in the body is depend
ent unon, and under direct con
trol of the nerves and that every
one of these nerves passes through
the spine before reaching the
brain, it can readily be understood
why the snine plays so important
and so vital a part in the health
of the body.
No nr.tter what your ailment is,
do not think your case is hopeless
until you have tried Chiropractic
Spinal Adjustments. What it has
done for oti;ers it will do for you.

On the advice of, and at" the sug
gestion of President Bush, a pension
! system for employes has been adopted
by the Missouri Pacific Railroad
company. The affairs of the pension
department are to be administered by
a board of five men, who are to be ap
pointed by President Bush and who
are to serve without compensation.
The rules of the pension board pro
vide that all officers and employes
who have attained the age of 70 vears
may retire. There is a provision that '
trainmen my be retired at 6o years.
Such persons as have at the time of
retirement been in the continuous
service of the company twenty-five
years will be pensioned. Those who
have been in the employ of the com
pany twenty-five years or more and
have become permanently incapaci
tated, may be retired and pensioned, i
regardless ot age.
Forty Per Cent of Wages.
The pension paid officers and em
ployes is 1 per cent of the regular
monthly wage received for the ten
years preceding retirement. Thus, if
an employe had been continual v with
the company forty years and his aver
age salary had'been $75 a month for
the last ten years, his pension would
be 4U per cent of 575. or $30 a month
It is provided, however, that in no
case shall the pension be less than
515, nor more than $75 a month.
Kules that go along with the pen
sion of officers and emoloves nro-
viae mat in tne tuture no person who
is inexperienced shall be taken into
the employ of the comoanv if more
than 35 years of age and no exper
ienced person who is past 45. The
president of the road may set this rule
aside and order the employment of
any person of any age for a period
of not more than six months.
