Everybody Who UsedGreat Kidney RemedyObtained Fine ResultsAt the timo I commenced using

your Swamp-Root I was so bad that1 had to give up work. The pains inmy back would be like some sharp in-strument piercing my kidneys and Icould hardly get out of a chair with-out help. I finally resolved to giveyour Swamp-Root a trial and the re-sults were so fine that I have recom-mended it to others and it seems to

£ produce the same beneficial resultswith everybody that uses it. Xam verythankful to you for your great rem-edy, Swamp-Root, as 1 know that itwill do all you claim for it.

FRIDA / EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 16, 1917.

RAILROADTIMETABLES ARE

COSTLY TO P. R,R.

Millions Distributed Each Yearin Harrisburg; Necessary

Accommodation

Officials of tlio Pennsylvania rail-

road are trying to find a way to econ-

omize in timetable distributions. Itwas said to-day that this is one of thehardest tasks the company has tocontend with in the recent economyorders. Millions are distributed eachyear over the system. The only wayto economize is to cut down on thesupply. This is impossible, accordingto a statement made to-day.

At the bureau of information it wassaid a total of J.000,000 Pennsylvaniarailroad timetables are handed out inHarrisburg each year. In addition tothis distribution, schedules for 300 ormore railway and steamship lines arehandled yearly.

Total Yearly DistributionIt is estimated that between 6,000,-

000 and 7,000,000 timetables for allrailroads is the total distribution eachyear in Harrisburg. One clerk saidto-day:

"Every request for a timetablo isgranted. Sometimes wo notice trav-elers looking over the schedule a fewminutes and then throw it on the floor,rhis is not the case with all patrons.They eventually get rid of them some-where, and perhaps a. few days laterreturn for another schedule. Thehigh cost of paper is certainly makingtimetables expensive these days."

Open New Reading BridgeCrossing River at Sunbury

Sunbury, Pa., Feb. 16. The newsingle track bridge at this place span-ning the Susquehanna river has beenopened to traflic by the Heading rail-

j way. There are eleven spans and itrequired a long time to construct it.

1 The cost of the structure was $350,-; 000.

A short address was delivered by G.A. Buck, of Sunbury, and the bridgewas formally dedicated to railroad useby Division Engineer E. D. Kem-ble, of Tamaqua. Superintendent F. J.Hagner, of the Shamokin division, waspresent.

The West Milton bridge, whichspans the north branch of the Susque-hanna river at that place, was fin-ished some time ago. This is anotherfine structure on the same divisionand cost equally as much as the oneat Sunbury. Many of the bridges onthe Shamokin division have been re-built and strengthened during the pastfew years because of the heavy traf-fic.

CHARGED WITH NEGLECTClaiming that five children of Mr.

and Mrs. Isaac Rickert, of Wiconiscotownship, are not properly cared andprovided for by their parents, GeorgeW. Hensel, clerk in the office of theDirectors of the Poor, appeared beforethe court and asked to have the par-ents brought in to answer the charges.March 5 was set for a hearing. Thechildren are Minnie, Florence, Mattie,Mary and Rosie Rickett.

ALLROADS HELDUP BY EMBARGOES

Congestions in West AffectEastern Traffic; Car

Scarcity Is General

Chicago, Feb. 16. Traffic condi-tions all over the country are bad, dueto heavy business, recent storms, lowtemperatures and a universal short-age of cars. It is not a question ofgetting freight, but of moving it.

There is an immense tonnage backin the country awaiting empty cars.Over 25,000 cars of grain and otherfreight are being held on Westernroads, operating into Chicago, East-ern railroads being unable to take Itfrom their Western connections. Thissituation ildds to the car shortage, aswell as to the congestion.

Thousands of Cars NeededThere is a constant clamor for cars,

and reports from the Northwest saythat 30,000 ears are needed in thatsection, mostly to move grain and floureastward from Minneapolis and Du-luth.

Between 50,000,000 and 75,000,000bushels of corn and oats in Illinois andlowa elevators are awaiting cars. Itwill take several months of activeloading to satisfy Western grain ship-pers alone, to say nothing of the han-dling of miscellaneous and merchan-dise traffic.

Provision tonnage aggregated 23,-471,000 pounds, a decrease of 6,883,-000 pounds from the previous week,and ah increase of 1,892,000 poundsover last year.

RAILROAD NOTESJames K. Linn, treasurer of the Mu-

tual Beneficial Association of Penn-sylvania Railroad Employes, was inthe city to-day enroute from Olean,N. Y? to Philadelphia.

President William H. Drake, of theFriendship and Co-operative Club,with a delegation of a dozen mem-bers, attended a meeting last night atAltoona.

C. A. Fisher, chief dispatcher of theReading railway, who has been ill,was reported much better to-day.

It. D. Huff, chief night yardmasterfor the Reading, is ill at his home inLeesport.

Lack of facilities for foreign ship-ments, due to the submarine warfare,is causing congestion at eastern termi-nals. Freight traffic is moving slow-ly on all lines out of Harrisburg.

T. M. Heindel, freight brakemanon the Pennsylvania railroad, who hasbeen ill, is able to be about.

The next meeting of the Friendshipand Co-operative Club for railroadmen will be held Thursday night, Feb-ruary 22. Several big surprises arepromised.

News Print ManufacturersAppear Before Grand Jury

In Probe of IncreaseBy Associated Press

New York, Feb. 16. Officers ofthe News Print Manufacturers' Asso-ciation, an organization of sixty-eightindividuals and companies, appearedas witnesses to-day before the specialfederal grand jury chosen to investi-gate whether increases in the price ofnews print paper involves a criminalviolation of the anti-trust law.

After the manufacturers have testi-fied a number of newspaper publish-ers will be called and it is expectedthat the investigation will last at leasta month. A huge mass of documentaryevidence is ready for the considera-tion of the jurors. A large part ofthis has been collected by the federaltrade commission and agents of theDepartment of Justice.

The manufacturers, according totheir attorneys, attribute the highprices to the increases in the cost ofmaterial and labor and the scarcity ofpulp. They call attention to the factthat the cost of other papers besidesnews print paper has gone up sincethe outbreak of the war.
