Y STOMACH TORN UP lnduti Lady Describes Coc&itt, Which She Saji Wu Dae To . v Constipation and TeSt of Relief Obtained Froc Black-Drastk Scottsburg, Ind. Mrs, Annie Johnson, of this place, writes: "I well remembei I suffered for a long time with constipa tion, which would get me down. I took 1 doctors' medicines and any number of Dureatives. They would leave me in a worse condition than I was before taking, 1 and my stomach so upset ... I know once I suffered . . . from constipation, I ' was so ill we had to have the doctor, jusl . so nervous and feverish. The doctor ' said 1 would have to quit medicines, mj 1 . stomach was so bad ... , My husband was reading and found something about Thedford's Black Draught and brought me a package te trv. i used it reeufarlv at first until! be gan to feel better, than I used just a dost occasionally. I was cured of this con' ' ttipation and am sure the Black-Draurir didit." t If your stomach Is out of order, yot will suffer from such disagreeable syrup- toms as headache, biliousness, inoiges- - tion, etc., and unless something is done, serious trouble may result - Thedford's Black-Draught has beer found a valuable remedy 'for thes troubles.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY Hair is by far the most conspic uous thing about , us and is proba bly the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment If we are N very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair; that dis- solves and entirely amoves all dan j rfruff, excess oil and dirt; can easily s-. be used at trifling expense by sim i ply dissolving a teaspoonful of Canthrox (which you can get at any ? druggist's) in a cup of hot water. . This makes a full cup of shampoo i liquid enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the S top , of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates i a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing i leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes t on the glossy richness of natural color, abo a fluffiness which makes V it seem much heavier than it is. After Canthrox shampoo, arranging 1 thajiair is a pleasure. Adv. 'i t. RAILWAYS MAKE RECORD UNDER U.M0NIR0L Increase Traffic Moved With Smaller Number of ars Than Last Year; Make Financial Saving." Hale Holden, regional director of the lines of railroad operating in the central zone, has compiled his re-, port for September of this year and has submitted the same to V. G. McAdoo, director general. This re port goes into detail as to the busi ness of the several railroads during the month and indicates that traffic was better than normal and entirely satisfactory. The "Sailing day" plan, adopted for the purpose of expediting Jhe movement of freight and at the same I was cured of this C0BRmc conserving equipment, was re ported a success. Mr. ttoiaen as serts that there has been a saving of 3,429 freight cars per weekwithm the limits of the central rone. At the same time there has been an in creased loading in the regions where coal, livey stock and grain is produced. The increase in the live stock loading is about 19 per cent. The total freight cars loaded dur ing September were 164,342, as com pared with 142,299 for September of last year, an increase of 22,043, equivalent to a gain of 1S.5 per cent. Of the total number, this year jj,05 cars were loaaea witn grain, as as against 27,402 during the same month of last year. Up to the middle of September there was a heavy movement of grain and had there sbeen an avail able outlet the probabilities are that it would have been a record month. As it was, about the middle of the month the elevator capacitj of the country was , exhausted and conse quently "the movement of grain ceased until cxportations and the dem&iMM of Hue millers reduced the surplus in storage. . Mr. Holden finds that the car sup ply is about adequate to meet the requirements, witls the exception of double-deckers for the sfeeial load ing of some kinds of live stock. The shortage in this class of equipment has proved no handicap as stock has been moved as rapidly as the stock yards companies could handle it. In some instances the railroads have been forced 4o hold back stock ship ments because the yard companies could not handle them. The South Omaha stock yards are credited with having made a good showing, during September. Dur ing the month there were 14,040 in bound cars of live stock, an increase of 3,506. or 33.3 per cent. The out bound business aggregated 7,243 cars, an increase of 1,243, or 20 per cent. ' ' Oil traffic was an important item with the roads in the central zone. During the month the roads han dled 516 oil trains, with 14,319 cars In September of this year W.585 carloads of coal were handled, com pared with 146,302 during the corre sponding month a year go. The increase was 18 per cent. According to Mr. Holden coal has been going forward at such a rapid rate that the fuel administration been pressed to provide markets for the shipments. Railr6ac officials and the fuel administration have co operated and worked in such perfect harmony that it is believed the fuel situation is well in hand. Mr. Holden is of the opinion that the labor situation is improving and the increase in the number of em ployees in the mechanical depart ments of the roads is encouraging. curing aeptemoer ot this year the roads of the central rone- in the car and locomotive department were giving employment to 88,940. as against 79,21 during the corres ponding month of last year. Generally - the physical condition Or the roarl i onnA K.t.r Utn during the corresponding month of a year ago, when all of the lines are taken into consideration. The tie situation is1 about the onlv thine? that is unsatisfactory. There is a shortage of several millions, but the matter has been called to the atten ion of the central purchasing com mittee and immediate relief is anticipated. By giving special attention to routing, during the month 492,714 car-miles were eliminated. The passenger traffic of the roads of the central zone, shows an enorj mous saving by the consolidation or offices. He points out that uo to September 1. this vear 21 consoli dated ticket offices had been opened in the centra zone and that it is estimated that these consolidations will result in an annual saving of .$378,059.15 in rent and $188,919.37 in salaries and other expenses. During the month, in the move ment of troops, the roads moved 73 special trains, carrying 26,766 men. All vains were operated on schedule and without accident Mr. Holden points with pride to the result of the recent Liberty loan campaign, saying that up to the time of handing his report to Mr. McAdoo,,.. October 14. 63 per cent of the railroad employes of the central .lone had subscribed to $18.- 0IW4U ot the KjDonqs. this was equal to an -average of $89 pervper- (AN ' I HEALTH v ' Nutated Iron Increases strength and V endurance ot delicate, nervous, run J down people in two weeks' time in many instances.

OMAHA FINEST CITY IN STATES, SAYS SKINNER Best City Between New York and 'Frisco, is Opinion of Watertown (N.Y.) Man Printed in Home Paper. Charles R. Skinner of Watertown, N. Y., recently grew restless and de cided upon a vacation trip. In the Daily Tvimes, of that city.e tells of his travels and devotes a large part of his story to his visit in Oma ha. In part he said: "What do I think of Omaha? It is one of the finest cities between New York and San Francisco. 1 here is evidence of enterprise, prosperity and public spirit They tell me that every one in Nebraska is ncn or expects to be wants to be. There is an uto for every four people in the state. Week-end trfps to Kan sas City, 250' miles and Chicago, 500 miles, are said to be common. All the great railroads of the west center here.

They cling to 5 cent fare on the trolleys, and n you want a 10 cent shave or a 15 cent haircut, you can have them by taking a trip to Omaha. "And the stock yards They are a city by itself. They make an east erner open his eyes. Hundreds or miles of railroad tracks, thousands of stock pens scattered over (hun dreds of acres, with cattle, sheep and hogs, make up this cityt Ele vated walks give extended views of the great place. You see long, driveways leading to the shipping house and slaughter pens, and they are filled with endless droves. One does not care to see the slaughter, and strangers are forbidden since the war.

Than Best Bid Here. Numerous reports of profiteering in potatoes by the middle men or commission firms of Omaha have come -to the food administration re cently and an investigation is now under way. One instance is given of a farmer from out in the state who shipped a car load of potatoes to the Omaha market. He received a number of bids from the commis sion men, but they were all so low that he refused to accept any of them.Jput reshipped his car to the Kansas City market, where he re ceived $45jL) more for the carload than his best bid here. Pay 60 to 80 Cents. It is claimed that commission men are stouring the potato growing sec tions of the northern and western part of the state, makingvcontracts with the growers. In numerous in stances they purchase the potatoes at from 60 Cents to 80 cents a bushel f. o. b. Omaha. Prices to retailers here in the city are said to range from $1.40 to $1.50, leaving the com mission men 70 to 80 cents a bushel profit. The commission men contend that in sejling the potatoes at the pres ent prices asked, they are still un der, the price set by the price fixing committee, and are not violating the rules of the food administra tion. The officials of the food admin istration say that the retail grocers are' living iip to the rules in all in stances. The best grades are re tailing as low as 38 cents a peck or $1.50 a bushel. This leaves the large share of the profit for the commission firms, and forces the retailers to sell at a very small mar gin. Officials of the food administra tion maintain that the commission men are entitled to only a rason- lible profit, regardless of the prices set by the administration, and if the investigations now under way show that the above statements are correct, a way will be found to deal with the profiteers.

Yet it is now positively known that acid-stomach is the cause of a very large number of diseases. , Excess acid in the stomach pvents proper digestion and assimilation, thus causing the blood to bf come thin and impoverished, as a result of which people become sallow-skinned, emaciated and anemic. Excess acid causes irritation all along the intes tinal tract irritation so severe and aggravating as to frequently result in catarrh and even cancer of the stomach. . s Excess acid causes stomach and intestinal fer mentation, producing poisons which, absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the system, cause auto-intoxication, insomnia, nervousness, irritabil ity, mental depression, melancholia, dizziness, ver tigo and. often times, valvular heart trouble and heart failure.
