Show I ADVICE TO THE AGED I Age brings infirmities, such as sluggish 1 bowels, weak kidneys, torpid liver. I Tutt's Pills I have a specific effect on these organs. I stimulating the bowels, gives natural I action, and imparts visor to the system. I And the Cars Came Railroads Make Good on Promese to Move all Business Offices I A low freight rate and no cars in which to ship is as ! ? unsatisfactory as a low price for bread and no bread. - I Herecofore, fall harvest has brought a widespread car ' f shortage. Last year it was 140,000 cars. This year there is T generally a surplus of cars throughout the country and es- i pecially of boxcars in the West and Northwest, notwith- f standing the roads are handling the greatest volume of bus- ; iness in I heir history. i There's a Reason! For 1923. all the railroads of the United States joined J in a cooperative effort and with a defined program to im- i prove traffic conditions and to establish new standards of f service, even excelling pre-war records. In fullfilling this ! program. 134,636 new freight cars and 2 963 new locomo- f fives were put in service between January and October, ! 1923, a larger number than in any similar penod within the i past ten years. f Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the number of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 86.3 per . cent of die locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being 9 in serviceable condition in October. More railroad coal has been placed in stock pile stor- age and more commercial coal dumped at Lake Erie ports J than in any previous year, thus making equipment available . for other necessary traffic during peak periods ' From an average movement of 22 miles per car per dav, ! jj (including idle time) in 1921, the railroads made 29.2 ? i miles in September, 1923. ! In the 42 weeks from January 1 to October. 20, 1923 the I railroads loaded and moved 40.545,920 cars, which was an ! increase of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the ! record year of 1920 i Isn't this a splendid tribute to the efficiency of the car- f riers and the co-operation of shippers? I The roads are spending this year 700 million dollars for i new equipment and 400 million dollars for other improve- ments. Years ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder ' ! of the Northwest, said that the roads must spend one hil- T lion dollars every year for additions and betterments to keep abreast of the country's growing traffic, hut this is the first I year in twelve that the railroads have found it possible to "Main that amount. Such expenditures have a vital bear- I ing on national prosperAy, contributing to the expansion of industry and employment of labor, increasing the demand - T for products of mine forest and farm. I This $1,100,000,000 being spent in 1923U almost entirely entire-ly new mi tiey, and not taken from earnings... The expendi- f ture is based on the conviction that, the American people 4 will encourage compensatory rates and discourage at'ompts to embarrass the railroads in their efforts to provide ade- I quate service. It is not predicated on present earnings for even in this record-breaking year, it is unlikelv that the roads will earn the 5 75 per cent on their valuation per- mitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Transportation Act, but which ir thev do not earn thev do not get. ' ? Anti-railroad ,laws produce no freight cars. i Constructive suggestions are always welcome. f Omaha. Nebraska, c. R GRAY I December 1, 1 923.
