nevertheless big scale, during the last

year, has been a great success. James I. Blakslee, fourth assistant postmaster general has found out that one truck route between Philadelphia and Washington, cutting chiefly through territory without direct rail connection, and costing, $S00 a month to operate, has in eight months developed a revenue of $16,000 monthly. Another route, into Washington, where 28 parcels a day were moved during the first month, now shows one ton of traffic each twenty-four hours, i Seventy lines now operate over the country, all but one east of the Mississippi, and there are visions of a system which will furnish $360,000,000 annually In revenue for road construction and other purposes. "Why, General Pershing has 9,000 trucks damaged or ruined over on tin other side," said Blakeslee, telling of the growth of the system. "I don't

with, and if we had the earnings of the lines themselves, we could expand almost indefinitely. As it is, $9,000,000 will be required by the division for next year, and I think it will be appropriated. People realize what we are doing. "Operating at night is the most profitable, and we have but two machines doing that, out of New York. The typical route is about 180 miles long, 90 miles out, and 90 back. "Almost always the constant operation of the lines produces a return load, the universal character of the mall service allowing almost anything to be taken. The mail trucks go and come, rain, storm, or anything, and so the trafTlc develops. Rates are also pretty high, the lowest being about $20 a ton. That is what makes the surplus revenues. Roads Will Be Needed. "Of course we will have to have concrete roads, but the business can produce the money to build them. There are some economies in a distribution of produce that are simply

Catarrh Of The Stomach Is Dangerous

Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated, torigru. bad breath, sour, burning stomach, frequent vomltin. rumbling- m stomach, bitter eructations, g-as, wind, and stomach acidity and call It Indigestion when in reality their trouble Is due to (?a"tric catarrh of the stomach, writes a New York Physician. Catarrh of the stomach Is dangerous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach Is thickened and a coating' of phlesrm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannpt mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease In the fermented, unasslmllated food. The blood Is polluted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer Is the first sign of a deadly cancer. in fntarrh of the stomach a srooa

and safe treatment Is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Blsurated Magnesia In half a prlass of hot water n a hn an vnn ran comfortably drink it.

The hot water washes the mucus from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the blsurated magnesia Is tin excellent solvent for mucus and Increases the efficiency of the hot water treatment. Moreover the Blsurated Mag-nesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutralize any excess hydrochloric acid that may be In your stomach and sweeten Its food contents. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Blsurat ed'Magrnesia Is not a laxative. Is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't confuse Blsurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesia, milks, citrates, etc.. but get It in the pure blsurated form (powder or tablets), especially prepared for this purpose. Adv.

You Need not Suffer from Catarrh

But You Must Drive It Out of Your Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. You have probably been in the habit of applying external treatments, trying to cure your catarrh. You have used sprays, washes and lotions and possibly been temporarily relieved. But after a short time you had another attack and wondered why. You must realize that catarrh is an infection of the blood and to get permanent relief the catarrh infection must be driven out of the blood. The quicker you come to understand this, the quicker you will get it out of your system. S. S. S., which has been in constant use for over fifty years, will drive the

catarrhal poisons out of your blood, purifying and strengthening it, so it will carry vigor and health to the mucous membranes on its journeys through your body and nature will soon restore you to health. You will be relieved of the droppings of mucous in your throat, sores in nostrils, bad breath,, hawking and spitting. All reputable druggists carry S. S. S. in stock and we recommend you give it a trial immediately. The chief medical adviser of the Company will cheerfully answer all letters on the subject. There is no charge for the medical advice.
