A Difficult Prebltm.
The next step in the campaign of re
trenchment was more difficult. ■
Iras obvious, namely, the redaction of
expenses by tha enhancement of efficien
cy. la transportation a campaign was
begun opop the elements of train haul,
ear, distribution, coal consumption, main
tenance of afetfodules, handling package
freight, Increased tonnage of package
cars and uniform practice. The benefi
cial effect of these educational measures
could not be expected at once, and they
scarcely became apparent until the re
sults of operation for March. 1WW. when,
in the face of a decrease of 3692,015 In
gross earnings, as compared with March,
1907. there was shown a decrease In op-
era ting espeneee and taxes of Itff.lA,
resulting In an Incraoaa of 1237,340. In net

There wee thua created e new prob

tvsa realised that a saving In expenses
merely equivalent to the lose of arose

factor of fixed charges. The feet that

end February, when the operating ratios
E re *1.75. ft.14 and 86.64. respectively.
March thla ratio waa reduced to 75.70,
and was there substantially held during
the remainder of the fiscal year. That
these economies have been eo largely
accomplished In transportation expenses
Is most creditable. Of tha total decrease
of 33,213,125.14 In operating excenses for
the year. Tl.tk0.765.6l, or M.8J per cent
was In transportation expenses, and to
that extent, la In Itself a demonstration
of efficiency. But that most of this was
accomplished In the last six months of
the fiscal year; that Is to say, after the
pressure of necessity wee felt, la earnest
of whet can be done hereafter. This ef
fort at efflelency. as well aa the hectic
conditions which were experienced dur
ing the year, can perhaps best be appre
ciated by a comparison of the variation
of the percentage of transportation ex
penses during the first and the last six
months of the year, respectively.
The Earning*.
During the first six months of the
fiscal year gross earnings Increased 3.65
per cent, and operating expenses Increas
ed S.0I per cent, of which Increase in
expenses 27.49 per cent, was In trans
portation expenses, or a total Incrciim «n
transportation expenses of 4.32 per cent,
•v compared with the same period of tho
previous year. . .
During the last six months of tne fiscal
jrei- gross earnings decreased 1-..76 per
cent and operating expenses decreased
31 4« per cent, of which decrease In ex
penses 48.22 per cant waa In tr.in«r«rt*-
tlcn expenses, or a total decrease *U
transportation expenses of 19.19 per cent,
as compsrcd with the same period of
the previous year. _ „ , _

In thla connection. It will be of Inter
val to note that, by reason or the con
servative method by which this company
has replaced obsolete equipment In tha
g Tk the book value of all equipment on
30 1908. was ll.8J8.794.32 above
apitnl value, after $10,013 520.72 had
written off for depredation.
It la believed further that, by reason
of the most satisfactory Increase of ef
ficiency of Individual labor since the cur
tailment of forces was made last wlnttf,
a comparison cf cost of 'maintenance Is
not necessarily a comparison of tho
amount of maintenance aecomolJshed. as
there la no doubt but that more work
and better work Is obtained on the track
ami In the shop for a dollar today than
In the period of peesauro of heavy bail-
ntJ.' and competitive demand for labor.
This successful practice of economr,
accompanied by evidence of Inrrmaed
efficiency, has been most gratifying to
the management, and the officers and
men. who. by their faithful and unremit
ting labor hare brought It about, deservo
|he approval of the security hold in. not
only because of the Immediate results at
tained. but because the discipline and
Stimulus of the education of this year
upon the rank and file of the service,
officers and employes alike, can not fall

erty.
No Wags Reduction.
But this has not yet solved tha prob
lem which faces the company. There
has been no reduction during the year
in the rate ot wages paid to railroad
employes, which. It Will De recalled, had
been advanced from tlmo to time with
Increasing business In previous years,
nor turn there been any •aulwtantlal
abatement In tha unit coat of the things
which a railroad has to buy In order to
operate. On tha other hand there has
not been any compensating Increase In
the price at which the railroad can sell
the commodity which It produces— trans
portation. The result of advancing oper
ating costs without any compensating In-
r crease In railroad charges lias been to
bring about an uneconomic relation be-
■tween revenues and operating costa. The
ilem of ao changing thin relation aa
establish a proper tnargfti between
gross earnings and operating coats can
only be solved by a reasonable advance
In railroad charges or such u reduction
in operating costa as could only be
brought about by a general lowering of
tho wages of railroad employes, and the
maintenance of thin purchasing power Is
an Important factor fa the general pros
perity of tho country. On the other hand,
a moderate Increase In rallroed chargee
would weigh heavily on no Individual. It
would seem fair, therefore, that the av
erage level of rates now la effect should
be reasonably advanced, and It Is hoped
that, when general business has some
what revived. It will be generally recog
nised that existing conditions are unfair,
and that a railroad te entitled to the
same consideration ot equal justice at
the hands of tna business public which
tho business subtle boa so clamorously
demanded from tha railroads.

Physicians Feared Consump

Hopeless.
Another Striking Example of the
Value of tho Tonio Treatment for
Building Up th* B4ood.
Bloodlessnesa, or anaemia. Is usu
ally betrayed by the pallor of th# face,
but, curiously enough, some people
may have the’ disease and retain a
rosy complexion. -
Shortness of breath and palpitation
of the heart after tho slightest exer
tion, headaches, general weakness
and disturbed digestion are marked
symptoms but the disease comes
gradually and Is liable *o be
well established before It la detected.
There aro many kinds of anaemia,
most of them curable. When It oc
curs In young girls It ta called chlo
rosis, or green sickness, a form of
anaemia which la most readily cured
by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, a blood-
making tonic that Is useful In all
forma of the disease. What this
r■ .I.■ lv 1 j;ix ucconij,lish*,<l In ev<n the
most stubborn cases la shown by this
account
Mrs. W. B. Goodrich,' of No. 560
Terrace street, Meadvllle, Pa., whose
husband Is an engineer on the Erie
railroad, after being given up by her
doctors as Incurable, tried Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills and was restored to
health. She says:
*’I waa under tho care of two doc
tors for about a year and a half for
anaemia and received no benefit. Both
gave mo up, saying that It was only
a matter of time before I would die
as my condition would lead to con
sumption. I read about Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills In a paper and decided to
try them as a last resort. I was then
so -weak that I couldn’t walk a block
without resting and upon the least
exertion or upon going up stairs my
heart would beat so fast that it would
seem to come up In my throat. I
hnd no appetite and food would He
in my stomach like a lump. My hands
and face were as white as chalk and
I weighed only 120 pounds. I had no
strength or ambition, wax hysterical,
wanted to be alone and cried at the
least little excitement. I was ex
tremely nervous and my limbs would
cramp and give mo pain at night or
whenever I would lie down. I could
eat only the lightest foods.
"I began to fevl better after taking
the pills a while and continued until
I had taken several boxes. I was
cured by their use and today I am a
well woman, weighing 165 pounds,
and can walk any distance without
trouble.” ’ ‘ * . „
For all anaemic states, that Is, In all
cases of weakness caused by lack of
blood, and for all diseases springing
from a perverted condition of tho
blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the
great remedy. They make now blood
and give new life to the feeblest
Their effect Is simply wonderful.

DUAL LOVE AFFAIR
FRANK COX COULDN’T DECIDE
WHICH GIRL HE LOVED BEST
AND CUT HIB THROAT.
SAVANNAH, Oct. 15—With both
jugular voing and his wind pipe sever
ed Frank Cox. a white man about 25
years old, was found In his room dy
ing from his own act, this morning.
In his efforts to end his life Cox had
used a raxor, and although he was
gasping for breath when Dr. C. P.
Brannen arrived, a glance convinced
the phyaician that he was beyond all
hope.
Just what caused tho young man to
take his life Is not positively known.
One of his acquaintances said that Cox
had been to Thunderbolt with a young
woman; they quarreled and Cox cut
his throat. Another acquaintance said
the young man was undecided whether
ho loved a young woman In Eilabelle
better than one In Savannah; that he
had beendrinklng and his dual love
affair caused his suicide.
The young niAn had been visited by
his father, Thomas Cox, of Eilabelle.
and his little brother. Walter, tho day
before. They romalned with him until
yesterday morning, then returning
home. During their stay Cox seemed
bright and cheerful and no one In the
house had a hint of any Intention of
suicide on his part. Those who know
him well believe it was a sudden af
fair. of some kind which reaolved him
to take his life.
A Healthy Family.
"Our whole family has enjoyed good
health since we began using Dr. King's

Facing a Dogged
Expensive—and
Annoying
Proposition
Thut’s -what the man
faces Reason after season,
who clings to the old fash
ioned tailor shop for his
clothes supply.
Annoying waits—disap
pointing delays—and ex
cessive bills — spell the

tem.
Today, the art of tailoring in advance, under exact
scientific drafting—executed by specialists trained to
excel in their handiwork, and under economical condi
tions—is establishing a standard of advance tailoring
pre-eminent for finest workmanship, beauty of fashions
—and economy of price.
Fall'Suits—tailored in advance from high bred
fabrics—315.00, $20.00, $25.00, $30.00, $35.00. You’ve
paid more and got less value elsewhere—try Benson’s.
