PIGS ARE TAKEN TO CITY MARKET IN MOTOR TRUCK Automobiles Enable to Get '' Live Stock to Market Before Price Changes. WASHINGTON. March 13. To get a bunch of livestock to market quickly before a drop takes all the Joy out of a season's profits. Is one of the things motor transport is enabling farmers to do. Uncertain railroad transportation and car shortage have led to a marked Increase in . the numbers of fat hogs, sheep and cattle hauled to market in motor trucks in the last year. The fat stock travel with greater comfort and are not so long on the road where the truck supplants the freight train. Although the movement of livestock to market by motor usually costs more than by railroad, this extra expense is

more man oaiancea by the quick deliv

ery or tne siock oerore the market has much opportunity to fluctuate. Furthermore, when the lorry is used, aa a rule, hogs from a single farm are loaded in one truck, and there is less danger of the animals fighting and injuring each other in transit than when a carload of mixed hogs is shipped by rail. In investigating the extent of motor truck transportation to the Omaha live stock market, the department of ag

riculture rouna tnat for forty years tne movement of live stock by wagon from farms from five to twenty-five miles away had been fairly large. Development of better highways and more rapid means of transportation, that is, the motor truck, 'has greatly extended this territory and fat farm animals now are hauled to . South Omaha from farms at much greater distances than those formerly served by wagon. A number of commission Anns cater particularly to the motor truck, or less-than-carload lots. Their business is increasing because many farmers are purchasing trucks for the special purpose of delivering live stock. v Truck Companies Formed Motor truck companies have been formed in many towns and cities within a radius of fifty miles of Omaha to meet the demands of farmers for such t ervice. These companies are developing not only the live stock trade, but also a "back haul", trade of groceries, merchandise and general freight such as feeds, fertilizer and farm supplies. On one morning recently between 5:30 and 8 o'clock forty truckloads of live stock were delivered at the Omaha yards, and of thia number nineteen of the vehicles were owned by farmers. The charges for hauling stock by motor vary with the distance. Some companies charge a flat rate of 25 cents a 100 pounds,' and add 1 cent a

100 pounds a mile. Other firms charge by the load from J0 to $15 for the trip, depending on the distance and the number of animals carried..-:. Air though the rates ffre ' considered extremely high, as the , truck hauler charges 60 to 60 cents a hundredweight compared with a 12 to 15 cent freight rate, still the fanners seem to find the motor truck method profitable. The carrying capacity of the truck varies with the size, age, class and weight of the animals. A standard two-ton truck will carry twenty head of hogs. The floor space of the truck, when small stock, such as sheep and hogs are transported. Is often increased by double decking. As a rule, the motor express companies operate with trucks of four or five tons capacity, while the vehicles owned by farmers usually carry one or two tons. Figures indicate how the motor truck delivery of live stock at the South Omaha yards has increased in the last two years. In the first nine months of 1917 there were only 52,129 hogs in the Omaha "drive in," There was an increase of 90 per cent in the same period in 1918, 142,220 hogs being delivered by truck. The cattle "drive " from July to September, inclusive, 1917, was 12,189 head, and in the same period in 1918, 17,681 cattle. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville markets receive a large part of their hogs directly from the farms by motor trucks. One typical, doubledeck truck load of live stock unloaded at the Cincinnati stockyards in the presence of a representative of the department of agriculture, consisted of three 850-pound cattle, seven calves weighing 150 pounds each, and eleven hogs averaging 185 pounds.- Another load consisted of seven 750-pound cattle, while other loads were made up of from ten to twenty-five hogs, weighing from 175 to 225 pounds each. Promises Cheap Marketing. The custom of hauling stock by motor truck to the Cincinnati market is to charge a flat rate of from $15 to $30 a trip for the use of the large truck to convey the stock from fifteen to forty miles. One shipper reports that he

hauled twenty-five hogs forty-three miles in four hours, and that the actual shringake of these hos, which weighed approximately 200 pounds apiece, was from six to ten pounds.

At Kansas City a marked . increase in the local "drive in" has resulted largely from the increased use of motor trucks. During the first eight months of 1918, 72,887 bogs were handled by motor truck and wagon, an increase of 21,505 over the same period in 1917. Denver notes an increase of 223 per cent in sheep, 12 per cent in hogs and 13 per cent in cattle in the local "drive in" during; the first eight months of 1918, compared with 1917. At St Joseph, Mo., the "drive in" during the last year has more than doubled through the use of trucks. In a single day at St. Joseph 1,400 hogs, 200 cattle and a considerable number

of sheep were brought to the market

in 190 motor trucks.

With good, permanent roads on the

boom in all parts of the country, ana

transportation by truck more satisfactory in every way, the department in

vestigators believe that the future

promises cheap and efficient market

ing of stock in power vehicles. The

effect of market fluctuation? is reduc

ed to the minimum, because in the

main," only a few hours are required

from the farm to the stockyard.

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE

EVERY RAILROAD MAN SHOULD READ THIS Peterson's Ointment Co., Inc., Buffalo, New York. Dear Sirs: I was afflicted with what the doctors said were, Varicose Ulcers, and up until about fve weeks ago I had been treating them for about a year and five months. With all the treatments that were prescribed to me by several doctors I received little benefit, and they kept spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work. .. I was Induced by a brother brakeman to try Peterson's Ointment, and after I had used two boxes I saw the wonderful results. You can tell suffering ones troubled with ugly, painful, and horid ulcers that your Ointment is a cure for them when everything else fails, as I have tried about everything. Thanking you many times over,-1 am, your happy friend, Charles J. Heyser. Battle Creek, Mich., 42 Glenwood Avenue, January 12, 1916. "I know and dozens of people write me." says Peterson of Buffalo, "that Peterson's Ointment also cures eczema, old sores, salt rheum, piles and all skin diseases, and all druggists sell a big box for 35 cents."

Nothing like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to Put on Firm,' Healthy Flesh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Nerve . Force. Judging from the countless prepara

tions and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our j bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitrophosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Conkey Drug company in Richmond, and most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directely and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. OfCAUTION: Although bitro-phos-puate is unsurpassed - for relieving ; nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, it should not, owing to

its remarkable flesh-growing properties j be used by anyone who doec not desire to put on flesh. Adv.

Famo Destroys Dandruf f Bacilli Science has perfected a wonderful preparation that stops Seborrhea (the medical term for dandruff) by killing the dandruff microbe. . Its name is FAMO and it is a product of one tf the famous . pharmaceutical houses of Detroit. The ingredients have never been used on the scalp before but they are well known to physicians. As fast as nature grows new hair the Seborrhea germ kills it off. Unless you destroy the germ with FAMO, the new hair will grow weaker and weaker and baldness finally will result. FAMO destroys the dandruff bacilli and makes new, luxuriant hair grow. FAMO actually retards grayness. It contains no alcohol. It stops all itching of the scalp. FAMO should be used daily by every member of the family, even ,by those who have no dandruff. It keeps the hair healthy and beautiful and prevents seborrhea. FAMO is sold at all toilet goods counters, also applied at the better barber shops. It comes in two sizes a small size at 35 cents and an extra large bottle for $1. Seborrhea is the medical name for a morbidly increased flow from the sebaceous Mnds of the scalp. The seborrhean excreliijti forms in scales or flakes and is comnonly known as dandruff.

was a March day several years ago.

At the Edison Laboratories in Orange,

N. J., a group of Mr. Edison's associates was gathered. One felt an air of tense expectancy of suppressed excitement. Ten minutes passed. Suddenly the door opened. There stood the world's greatest inventor, Thomas .. Edison. Unshaven and disheveled, he betrayed evidence of the orgy of work in which he had been plunged for months. . "Gentlemen, that's the model with which I get the true result, he

quietly announced, as he entered. He indicated the instrument which stood before them. "If you will subject that device to the test of direct comparison with the singer's voice, he added,"you will find it impossible to distinguish the living voice from its Re-Creation. We have spent three million dollars to produce that single model and its contents. Now go ahead and build replicas. Maintain the standard I have set in this Official Laboratory Model.

proved many hundred times. More than fifteen hundred tone tests in which "the living artist sang . or played in direct comparison with the New Edison have been held . in public. More , than two-' million , people have attended the tests. ; More than 'five hundred music critics have reported them. ' So

flawlessly perfect have been the Re-Creations that not one person of this vast throng has been able to say . when it was the living artist he heard and when the instrument.
