'Casey Jones 9 Engines Now Will Emit Soft Tunes Instead of Blasts.

TIMEMPHIS, Tenn.. March 21. dr i. Southern railway engines that go steaming through Dixie no longer will rend the stillness of night with shrill and untuneful blasts from steam whistles. Instead they will be equipped with calliope whistles on which r.ny engineer with a fair degree of musical talent can play “Dixie,” “Casey Jones” or other tunes. The change to calliopes is to be made, officials of the road said, to avoid disturbing the sleep of persons in villages and towns. Engineers have been given orders to play the calliope when approaehlg street crossings. Eight whistles are attached to the front of the locomotive. Through a mechanical device operated by the enginer they produce a soft, melodious sound. PARK TO OPEN MAY 11 New Bathhouse and Archway Being Built at Broad Ripple.

Only a doctor knows what a laxative ’ ||il: be

YOU don’t want to use a laxative every day. Nor once a week. This should not be necessary. And it never would be required if all of us would learn the danger that lies in a careless selection of laxatives. By taking the first thing that comes to mind when bad breath, headaches, dizziness, nausea, biliousness, gas on stomach and bowels, poor appetite, or lack of energy warns us that our bowels are sluggish, we risk forming the laxative habit. Rely on a doctor’s judgment in choosing your laxative. Here’s

one made from the prescription of a specialist in bowel and stomach trouble. Its originator tried it in many thousands of cases. He found it safe for women, children and old folks; thoroughly effective for the
