RAILWAYS IN GLQUOS . -- TWO ROADS BUILT BY AMERI- • CANS {*4 THE ANDES. '•* 4. ~r —r ■ *" - - Trains Now Running From Lake Titicaca to Oruro, 12,000 Fast Up—--12,000-Feet Climb from Guayaquil to Quito Also Finished. Ktew York. —They are celebrating the completion of two important railway projects in South America. In Bolivia there is the line across the plateau from Lake Titicaca to Oruro. It was only two years ago that President Montes and other officials inaugurated the building of the road. The railway is pretty high up, being one of the highest long stretches in the world, for it runs across the plateau at an elevation of from 12,000 to 13,000 feet. It starts in at 12,500 feet at Viachal, 40 miles from Lake Titicaca ,so that there is not much climbing, but it is laid out on the rim of the South American world. After a time it will drop down below the rim and get into some of the valleys. It also will climb a couple of thousand feet higher from Oruro to the Potosi silver mines. The section which has just been completed is 130 miles long, and when the system is finished there will be 1,000 miles of it. The gauge of the line, which will be that of the entire system, is one meter, or 3 feet 3% inches. Sixty-pound steel rails from mills have been used and the equipment is of the American 1 standard. The engines are heavy and suitable for steep grades,

Famous Switchback of ths Guayaquil and Quito Railroad. and several of them are of the powerful Mogul type. Passengef cars of American make, . both for first and second-class passen gers, are to be employed. The freight cars are of 30 tons, with an excess capacity of ten per cent. This introduction of high-class American material is exceptional in South American railroad enterprises. The cost of the Viacha-Oruro section, including grading, masonry, bridge work, rails, and rolling stock, terminal facilities and engineering and office expenses, has been about $4,000,- ■ 000, pr $32,000 a mile. It-is not expected that the remaining sections, which will have the more difficult mountain regions to cross, can be,constructed so cheaply. The capital has been furnished jointly by the Bolivian government and a New York syndicate. - The Guayaquil & Quito railway, recently completed in Ecuador, is of narrow gauge,, and from Duran to Quito the distance is 290 miles. The estimate of the total cost, including dire■liminary surveys, financial negotiations and engineering and office expenses, as well as grading, masonry and bridge work and rolling stock, is $14,500,000, or about $50,000 a mile. The original estimate was $30.000' a mile, but as is usual with mountain railway building, the cost kept piling up. r Thejraaii makes some pretty steep climbs and gets across the flank of Chimborazo at an altitude above 12,000 feet. In the clear season, on leaving Riobamba in the morning, there is usually u fine sight of the snows of Cfcimborazo. Later if Cotopaxi is in eruption, which is usually the case, there is the opportunity to witness the enormous pillar of black smoke pouring from it, and sometimes at night - the live voteauowr glow tike fttotSSS, The DevilV Nose or Pistichi mountain and the Alausi loop are the great engineering features of the Guayaquil &*Quito road. The grade on Pistichi la overcome by means of switchbacks. This “scratching the Devil's Nose” was one of the engineering feats declared by office experts to be impossible. The two notable engineering features are the result of the ledgelike drop of the Alausi river. The canon formed by this Fiver- winds around -the foot of the Pistichi, but does not afford a meaps of surmounting it So an ascent of 110 feet was secured by a switchback. A further ascent ot 390 feet was secured by the loop. In the boldness of its curves and in the mountain panorama which it presents this loop is prpassed. Another engineering feature is a tunnel through 163 feet of solid rock. From the foothills of the Cordilleras at Bucay to the summit at Palmira pass there are 72 bridges, In the construction of w-hich more than 6,000,000 pounds qf steel has been employed. The Alausi river is drbss&d 26 times. Most of the money to build the road has come from the British and French investors who took (he bonds guaranteed by the Ecuadorian-' government. "A French linance company has also made some advances. American financiers have not put in large sums, but ■ the railway is actually an American enterprise, and most of the rails, bridges and the rolling stock - have come from the United States. .- /•s*** f.

A TEXAB CLERGYMAN Bpeaks Out for the Benefit of Suffering Thousands, 4 i Rev. Q. M. Gray, Baptist Clergyman, of Whitesboro, Tex., says: “Four years tago I suffered misery with lumbago. Every movement wa3 one of pain. Doan's Kidney Pills removed the whole difficulty after only a short time. Although I do not like to have my name used publicly, I make an exception in this case, so that other sufferers from kidpey trouble may profit by my experience.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Woman Tells of Her Brother's Terrible Suffering—Two Babies Also Cured —Cuticura Invaluable. f—“My brother had eczema three different summers. Each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady’s little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it She used Cuticura Remedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. Mrs. Sarah E. Lusk, Coldwater, Mich., Aug. 15 and Sept. 2, 1907.” On Trial. A Scotchman stood beside the bed of his dying wife, and in tearful accents asked was there anything he could do for her. “Yes, Sandie,” she said; “I’m hoping you’ll bury me in Craeburn kirkyard.” “But, my lass,” he cried, “only think of the awful expense! Would ye ’no be comfortable here in Aberdeen?” “No, Sandie; I’d no rest in my grave unless I were buried in Craeburn.” “It's too much you’re askin’,” said the loving husband, “and I cannot promise ye ony such thing.” “Then, Sandie, I’ll no give you ony peace until my bones are at rest in my native parish.” “Ah, weel, Maggie,” said he, .“I’ll just gie ye a three-month trial in Aberdeen, an’ see how ye get along.” Critical Eye for Babies. The five-year-dld daughter,, of A Brooklyn man has had such a largo experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a' connoisseur in children, - Recently there came a real live baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed It with a critical eye. “Isn’t it a nice baby?” asked the nurse. . “Yes, it’s nice,” answered the young-’ ster hesitatingly. “It’s nice, but its head’s loose.” —Lippincott’s, MOTHER AND, CHILD Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts. The value of this famous ..food is sho.wn.Jn many,, , ays, -in addition te what might be expected from its chemical analysis. Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and barley., is thoroughly baked for many hours and contains* all the wholesome ingredients in these cereals. It contains also the phosphate of potash grown in the gtains, which Nature uses to build up brain and nerve cells. Young children require proportion-. ately more-of this element because the brain and nervous system of the child grows so rapidly, A Va. mother found the value of Grape-Nuts in not only building up her own strength hut. in. nourishing her baby at the same time. She writes: “After my baby came I did not recover health and strength, and the doctor said I ctiuld not nurse the baby as I did not have nourishment for her, besides I was too weak. 1 “He . said I might try a change of diet and see what that would do, and recommended Grape-Nuts food. I bought a pkg. and used it regularly. A /marked change came over both baby and I. “My baby is now four months old,’ Is in fine condition, I am nursing her and doing all my work and never felt better in my life.” “Thqre’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.

A BIMPLE BAFEGUARD IN BUYING PAINT. 'S Everybody should know how simple and easy it is to avoid all uncertainly in buying paint materials. There are many so-called white leads on the market, which chalk, zinc, barytes,-and other cheap adulterants. Unless the property owner takes advantage of the simple means of protection afforded him by reliable white lead manufacturers, he runs great risk of getting an inferior and adulterated white lead. It is to protect the paint-buyer against fraud and adulteration that National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine White, Lead, place their famous “Dutch Boy Painterf’ trademark on eVery keg of their product, an absolute guarantee of its purity and quality. Anyone who wants to make a practical test of white lead, and who wants a valuable free book about painting, - should address National Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldg., New York, and ask for te*equipment. How Hammer of Death Struck James. The old parish church of Plumstead, which has just been reopened, is probably at least 1,000 years old. The picturesque churchyard, a cherished haunt of the poet Bloomfield during his visits to Shooter’s Hill, contains a delightfully choice “derangement of epitaphs.” One of these, on “Master James Darling, aged ten,” teaches a lesson nf moderation during the present cherry season to the youth of other places besides Plumstead. Speaking from his tombstone, Master Darling exclaims: “The hammer of Death was give to me For eating the cherries oft the tree.” Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, an they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Physicians Recommend Castoria C ASTORIA lias met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tha result of three facts! First— The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:) Second —That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OR. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s, Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the Information. — Hall’s Journal of Health,

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, 1115.,, says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for Infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands first In Its class. In my. thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y,, Bays: “I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy In my household and private practice sot many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: “I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for children’s troubles. lam aware that there are Imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” . , _ Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have In my years of practice found Caatoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for Itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the. presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria In my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria.” GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. , , TMK CKirrAUR company, rr MuniiAVwnicrr, NEW VORROITV.
