Indianapolis, July 27. "A frightful Increase in the comparative number of casualties" on Interurban roads for April, May and June this year over the corresponding time last year is what the railroad commission says in its quarterly accident bulletin, which will be issued in a few days. These three months last year showed 38 instances gal rit t 88 for the current year, or an increase' of 230 per cent. Only seven persons were injured in Interurban collisions during those three months last year, while this year the number was 04, an increase of more than 000 per cent, s There were twelve deaths in 100f as asainst none for the like period of 1!H8. The bulletin also shows these increases in accidents due to Interurban accidents: Fractures from 2 to 12; sprains from 3 to 7; cuts and bruises from IY.I to 43. , Most' Serious Ones.

Ibans. On the steam roads the bulletin Kf the railroad commission shows casualties as follows: On pasenger trains 125; on freight trains 7; on station i grounds 1; postal and expressmen 2;

SURPRISED HIM : Doctor's Test of Food.
' A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food and gives the particulars. He says: "I naturally watch the effect of dif
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tle son, a lad of four, had been ill
with pneumonia and during his convalescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food. "L-knew something of Grape-Nuts and its rather fascinating flavour and particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it. "His mother gave it to him steadily and he began to Improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained about
eight pounds and soon became so well and strong we had no further anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years old, came down with serious stomach trouble and before I was called had got so weak he could eat almost nothing, and was in a serious condition. He had tried almost every kind of food
for the sick without avail.
"I immediately put him on GrapeNuts with good, rich milk, and1 just a little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed when I came the next day 'Why doctor I never ate anything 30 good or that made me feel so much stronger.' "I am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks, then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. , He gained 22 pounds in two months which at his
age Is remarkable.

Grape-Nuts has worked wonders."

Causes of accidents to employes: Coupling and uncoupling 13; collisions 21; derailments 11; getting on and off trains 24; by use of tools or machinery 21; falling from cars 34; side obstructions 10; miscellaneous 151. Results: Deaths 18; loss of limbs 1; Iobs of fingers or toes 3; spinal injuries 1; fractures or dislocations 30; sprains 57; cuts and bruises 13; miscellaneous 13. Accidents to trespassers on steam roads: Deaths 34; loss of limbs 7; loss of fingers or toes 4; spinal injuries 6; fractures or dislocations 2; sprains 24; cuts and bruises 2. The bulletin shows an increase of 13 per cent in the list of employes killed and injured on steam roads in the three months of 1009 over the same three months of last year. Had it not been for the Chesterton wreck in which eleven persons lost their lives, the record by interurban roads would have been fairly good, so far as persons killed was concerned for the year ending June 30. The Chesterton wreck happened just twentyfour hours before the year closed and the awful loss of life, which members of the commission say could have been averted in a dozen different way, got into the list for that year. Seeks to Eliminate. The railroad commission ever since it was organized has been working along the line of seeding to eliminate the causes of accidents on the railroads of the state, and it has made many orders and suggestions and recommendations to the railroads that have been adopted with good1 results. With the limited power possessed by railroad commission however, it has not been able to carry out all of the ideas that it has had because in many instances the railroads have failed to accept the recommendations of the commission. In every accident case reported to the commission an effort is made to ascertain the cause of the accident, so that provision may be made to avoid similar accidents in future. The railroads; however, have shown a very fair spirit in the matter, and have done much to provide for safety for the life and limb of their employes and passengers. Life 100,000 Years Ago. Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men. who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in constant danger from wild beasts. Today the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown of Alexander. Me., is largely from deadly disease. "If it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, which cured me. I could not have liv ed," he writes, "suffering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stubborn cough." To cure Sore Lungs, Colds, obstinate Coughs, and prevent Pneumonia, its the best medicine on earth. 50c and $1.00. Guaranteed by A. G. Luken & Co. Trial bottle free.

Columbus, Ind., July 27. With two rears' work mapped out at an estimated expense of over $1,000,000, the Pennsylvania Railroad company Is already making the dtrt fly on the Cambridge City branch running from this city to Cambridge City. Some of the proposed changes are not finding favor in the eyes of the people who live along the line. The terminal of the branch is to be moved from Cambridge City to Richmond and. this has aroused the ire of Cambridge City people. Company's Plans. To facilitate handling trains, after the Cambridge City terminal is abolished, it is reported that the Pennsylvania will ' make aw cutoff through Posey township, Fayette county, starting near Bentonvllle. to make connection with the Indianapolis . division
main line. The cutoff connection will be made at a point about four miles west of Cambridge City in Henry county. The new tracks for the branch will be built "at the same time the main line is double-tracked. The changing of the connecting point between the Indianapolis division and the Cambridge City branch will require the elevation of the tracks at Cambridge City twenty-eight feet. The dirt for this elevation will be taken from an eighteen-foot cut which the company proposes to make between Dublin and Cambridge City. The Cambridge City people want a steel viaduct instead of a twenty-eight-foot dirt embankment which they are already speaking of as a "Chinese wall."
Sees Mother Grow Young. "It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters," writes Mrs. W. L. Gllpatrlck of Danforth. Me. "Although past 70 she seems really to be growing young again. : She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health." They invigorate all vital organs, cure Liver and Kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart strength and appetite. Only 50c at A. G. Luken ft Co's.

STREETS OF CITY MADEJMPRESSI0I1 New Castle Town Board Liked Them.
The splendid macadam streets of this city made a favorable impression on memters of the New Castle town board who visited the city on an inspection trip last week. Since returning home, the members of the committee have done a great deal of talking favorable to macadam. After they are first put down, the macadam streets of this city are as smooth as asphalt. They do not wear quickly and are easily kept in repair.
