says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, i began to feel like anew woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give

a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it a ways does me good.”

tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman

"THE CARFAMINE"
By H. F. SMITH.
Shortage of freight cars during the
past several months lias been substan
tially universal throughout the entire
territory of the United States. The
demand's of commerce force the com
mon use of freight cars by the carriers
of the country regardles-s of owner
hip. In March, 1913, the writer, in a
statement to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, called attention to the
serious shortage of freight cars, and,
using the situation of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway to
illustrate, showed that while said rail
way owned 10,000 freight cars, only
30 per cent of said cars were on its
tails, and only - 70 per cent of the rail
v. ay's efficiency of all ownership were
in its possession. Owning 10,000 cars,
a sufficient number to provide for all
demands, it commanded at that time
7,000 only, of which 4,000 belonged to
other lines.
The general car shortage at that
i eriod demonstrated that some of the
railroads of the country were not fur
nishing their quota of the general
:uipment, and a careful investigation
determined that many lines controlled
front five to twenty )>er cent more
oars than they owned, and were, even
under such circumstances, unable to
promptly discharge their transporta
tion obligations to their patrons, clear
ly .indicating a deficiency in their
quota cf the equipment devoted to the
general use of the public and to the
common use of the several railroads
of the country.
Further research developed the fact
that many lines were not financially
tile to increase their equipment to k
reasonable quota, being unable to bor
row funds for such purpose. There
fore, the prospects were that with the
commerce of the country expanding
at the rate of 8 per cent per annum,
the ability of the carriers, as a whole,
to satisfactorily meet the constantly
increasing demands of commercial and
industrial America was becoming ser
iously doubtful, the possibility being
that commerce would soon be restrict
ed to such facilities as the carriers
were financially able to command.
The above illustration was submit
ted to the commission liin connection
with the presentation of statistics
proving that the carriers of the south
would, by a literal observance of the
Long and short Haul O'ause of the
•amended Fourth Section of the Inter-
state Commerce Law, be subjected to
reductions in revenue that would ex
ceed $J6,000,000 per annum, which
would further restrict the ability of
the carriers to satisfactorily discharge
their obligations to the public. With
the revival of shipping to the maxi
mum record, the lack of equipment is
today painfully apparent, and the re
sponsibility seems to be largely with
the financially weak carriers.
During the calendar year 1915, elev
en railroads, 21,042 miles, with cap
italization of $1,220,135,174, passed in
to receivership.
On December 31, 1915, there were
38,661 miles of railroad in the United
States in the hands of receivers. The
amount of capitalization (stocks and
funded debt) involved in these re
ceiverships is $2,372,204,457. These
bankrupt railroads represent about 16
per cent of the total mileage of the
country, and with few exceptions are
not increasing their equipment. The
railroads of the United States own ap-
proximately 2,400,000 freight cars.
During 1915 there were 74,112 new
freight cars built. A large number of
old oars were condemned.
March 1, 1915, there were 321,952
idle cars in the country.
March 1, 1916, there was a net short
age—deficit—compared with the de
mands of the public of 19,537 cars.
If the shipping public and the car
riers combined could reduce the time
now consumed in the handling of cars
ten per cent, it would be equivalent to
adding 240,000 cars to the general
supply.

WEAK, AILING CHILD
Made Strong By Delicious Vlnol
Lakeport, N. H.—“ Our little girl 8
years of age was in a debilitated, run
down condition and had a stubborn
cough so she was weak and ailing all
the time. Nothing helped her until
we tried Vinol. Then her appetite
increased and she is strong and well, and
I wish other parents of weak, delicate
children would try A yinol.j—Q*° A.

This is because Vinol contains beef

manganese peptonates and glycero
phosphates which she needed. r

Bartow County Schools to Open.
The Bartow county schools will
open November 27th. Practically ev
ery school in the county have their
teachers and everything is Leing put
in shape for the opening.
By a special order from the Board
of Education no school will open at
which the house is not ready. This is
anew regulation but it is one founded
on reason and business sense. A week
is usually required to get the house in
shape, the supplies on hand, etc.
Many people are inclined to keep
their children out of school until all
this is provided, therefore not only
this first week but the second is
largely wasted. When we think for a
moment that it costs the county SI,OOO
per week to operate the schools we
can readily see what a great financial
waste our present policy has created.
Then, the time of the children that is
wasted will stagger anyone once they
•seriously consider it.
The board is honestly trying to eiim
ir.ate this needless waste of time and
money. Let every one help.
Monday, November 27th is the day.
Father, mother, get your children
ready and have them at the school
house on time. Just as soon as the
teachers send in the book lists, sup
ply your children with books and oth
e: needed supplies. Let us all get tq
work the very first day.
Tf everybody will get to work and
do his part the year 1916-1917 may be
the best year in the history of our
schools.

house for the year’s work. You must

capped in your year’s work.
