CLARENCE MAYHEW LIKES COLD SNAPS; FEW TRAINS LATE

Clarence Maybew, station master for the Pennsylvania railroad, has what would appear to be a hard job. He likes It. "Great This Is fine," he said, stepping from the warm station to the cold train sbcd platform. He has a long

heavy coat for winter wear, and his

cars are well bundled up. As the trains are bunched, he can do much of

his outside work in periods. The

station, which la always warm, Is popular with citizens as well as travelers, but the train shed Is deserted. Sun never strikes it and a cold northwest wind sweeps through, carrying fine snow with it. Trains have maintained schedules better than had been expected, many beltig on time yesterday and today, and only a few more than 15 minutes late. The effect of the cold snap is felt at the round house where the men who fire the engines have to be ahead of their usual schedules In order to get boilers hot and thaw out the cold engines. " Railroad men generally like the cold weather, according to members of train crews. Freight crews on long runs consider themselves well off, with snug cabins which are warm enough to create drowsiness. "I was called out of a warm bed at 3 o'clock this morning," an engineer said. "That's tho chief hardship ' ic the winter." '

He Is the center of a large crop of rumors, and he is identified in some way with almost every big political project before the nation's Congress.

Mrs. F. S. Lambert of 2414 Sisson St., Baltimore, Md., feels grateful for the benefit she derived from Var-ne-sis. She said: "I suffered from rheumatism of the joints for fifteen years, during that time I have treated with many doc

tors and tried all kinds of medicine

without relief.

It was almost impossible to get to sleep at night on account of the pain. At times my limbs would be swollen to almost twice their 6ize. My fingers were stiff and 6ore and moved with great difficulty. I was bent over and it as impossible to straighten up. Var-ne-sis was recommended and after several months treatment I am as straight as a string. My recovery is the talk of the neigborhood. I cannot recommend Var-ne-sis too highly. Send to W. A Varney. Lynn, Mass., for the story of Var-ne-sis." Get Var-ne-sis at Thistlethwaite. Drug store and all reliable druggists. Adv.
