NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1916. EW ENGLAND . GRAVEYARD OF GARS Shortage of Carriers .Discussed— Gossip Irom Washington Washington, Dec. 1.—Verification of the old saying in railroad circles that “New England is the graveyard of cars” is found in a statement is- sued the special committee on Car Efficiency of the American Rail- way association, which was organized to deal with the shortage of freight cars that has been afflicting various parts of the country by adding to the high cost of living and otherwise. The statement is based upon reports received by the committee here from railroads throughout the country It shows that New England rail- roads on November 1 were holding 17,114 box cars over and above the number of such cars which they act- ually owned. In other words, the New England lines were using many cars that did not belong to them. This excess number of box cars held is greater than the excess number held by any other group of railroads in the country except the big eastern trunk lines ,which wers holding a total of 73,263 box cars more 1 they owned. P d people claim that the sit- improved since November they admit that there was room for improveent. While the New IEngland lines and other eastern lines were holding a total of 90,000 box ears more than they were entitled to eertain other sections of the country have been pining for cars to move heir products. The price of coal and of many other necessaries, it is slaimed, has been increased by the scarcity of railroad caps in which to hip them to communities needing hem badly. The chief offender in New England s the Boston & Maine, which at the peginning of this month was holding | n excess of 11,118 box cars, not to | nention other kinds of freight cars. rhe excess box holdings of the Jew Haven railroad were 7,520, the Boston & Albany had 1,062 more hox ars than it was entitled to, and the ‘entral Vermont 104. On the other hand, there were de- icient numbers of box cars on other Kew England lines as follows: Ban- or & Arcostock, 1,056, Maine Central, ,222, Rutland, 412. Perhaps the New aven and Boston & Maine had thé ars of the neighboring lines. It is said that the excess of box ars held by castern railroads at this me is due to the heavy movement If munitions, war materials and sup- lies, and foodstuffs, but New Eng- nd was known as the “graveyard of prs” long hefore the war. It seems RHEUMATISM hysician Believes a Genuine Rem- edy for the Disease Has Been Found. Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism pmedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. d all druggists, gives quicker and hore lasting relief than other reme- les costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poison- s secretions into the bowels and dneys, from which they are quickly prown off in a natural, healthy way. | Read what a reputable physician ys about Rheuma: “I have made a ost careful investigation of the | prmula employed in the manufacture * Rheuma, and I heartily recom- end it as a remedy for all forms of leumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- ce of the methods generally em- oved in the treatment of rheuma- Bm, and altogether different in com- psition from the remedies usually escribed.””—Dr. Lyons. This should give any sufferer from peumatism confidence to try Rheuma. AT BIG MEALS!

Like Germany, England and other countries, France has put to hundreds of thousands of women to take tha places of men who are fight- ing. that that section of the country has a habit of holding freight cars that belong to outside railroads. The ship- pers blame the situation upon the New England railroads and the lat- ter say shippers leave- their freight in’ cars as storage warehouses.- One remedy suggested is to incrcase the daily rental which railroads charge each other for the use of freight and another to charge the ship- pers demurrage for using car: the amount increasing gradually from $1 to $5 per day. The interstate com- merce commission and the car e ficiency committee is considering these matters.

Haven, Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At ths first sign of backache headache, dizziness or urinary disord- e you should give the weakened kidneys prompt attention. Iat little meat, take things easier and use a re- liable kidney tonic. There's no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Briain people rely on them. one of the many statements Britain people. Mrs. A. W. Plumb, 82 Elm St., New Britain, says “Doan’s kidney Pills have given good satisfaction whenever I have used them. The pain across my back and shoulder causes considerable annoyance. It seems I am bothered more or less by my kidneys during the winter months. Doan’s Kidney Pills correct this trouble.
