Protecting Railroad Securities : The warning sounded in congress by Senator Cummins in reference to enactment of laws to safeguard the return of the railroads to their owners has" an important bearing on the incomes Of thousands. Senator Cummins, who is chairman of the senate interstate commerce' committee, said if the roads were turned back without legislation for the protection of the properties two-thirds of them would be in the hands of receivers within 30 days. Some of us labor under the delusion that railroad properties are owned by a few persons and that the public would be served if they lost a portion or all of their money. ' This fallacy is as widespread as it is inimical to the welfare of the country as a whole. The happiness, of every home in the United States depends in a great degree upon the railtoad systems. If they cannot transport the products of the farmer and manufacturer to the market, business stagnation follows. If the coal which the miners remove from the earth cannot be hauled to .the cities and rural districts, the

people freeze. If the grocer and butcher cannot i obtain supplies readily, the people face starva-'

tion. And so the examples of our dependence upon the roads might be multiplied indefinitely. But not only this. Thousands of persons of small means have invested their sayings in railroad securities. The report of the Pennsylvania railroad; for instance, : shows that) 113381 persons hold one share or more of stock. Eightyfive per cent of the shareholders own 100 shares or less. Almost half .- the number,, own 20 shares or fewer, and .those who own from one to 10 sftares number32,592, showing that the distribution of stock in this company is general. f The distribution of the stock of other railroad companies probably is as - great as that of the Pennsylvania, so that a severe financial crisis affecting the roads will mean the loss of millions to persons who cannot afford to lose the money they have invested in the carriers. Their rights should be safeguarded. " 'Again, many of the " insurance companies in which thousands of persons ' are insured hold large blocks of railroad stock.' If the roads should be forced into bankruptcy the insurance companies would suffer heavy losses, which in turn would affect to some degree at least their prosperity. The railroads will need more money to carry out improvements and to restore the roads to their pre-war efficiency. : Capital will not seek investment in companies whose outlook is jeopardized. Failure to obtain money will force the companies to neglect the making of necessary improvements, bringing about still further deterioration of the properties and a consequent decline in the value df their securities. The railroads perform a vital service to our country. If they are allowed to go to smash, not only the stockholders but also every citizen of the country will pay for the calamity.

What'siri a Name?"

Pact about you nun; lti history; Its meantne; whence ft was derived: Its lgnlficnce; your lucky day and lucky Jewel BY MILDRED MARSHALL

(Copyright. 1919, by The Wheeler - - Syndicate. Inc. ) EVA " The "mother of all living" received

from Adam a name signifying life. He gave her a name of simple dignity and beauty Eve. In the original, it sounded like- Cbevva, as it began with a rough aspirate.' It was not copied by any of her. daughters for. a long time, and when the first Alexandrian Jews came upon it in translation, they ' made it Zoe, meaninglife, in order to ' show the connection of thft name with , the prophecy, -but afterward, in the t course of the narrative they .merely, called It Heva or Eva, through which we- learned - to know H as- Eve. u&'&S ' i The Eva of Ireland and Southland

and the Avpllhe and Eveline of the Normans were probably only imitations of the old Keltic name Aoiffe. Eve and Eva have been used a great deal in England, many of the old parish registers recording the christening of twins as Adam and Eve. The notion of securing a child's lif that has spread the use of Adam among the Teutonic , races has had the same effect upon his wife, so that Eva is a common feminine name in Germany. All of Scandanavia has adopted Eva, but Russia calls her Evva or Jevva. France never fancied its simplicity, nor have Italy or Spain given it much attention. Coral, that most natural erpreclous stones, is Eva's talismanlc gem. It promises her protection from evil and Immunity from disease, warning of approaching illness by losing its ruddy color. Thursday is her lucky day and 2 her lucky number. Milton in "Paradise Lost" pays trib

ute to the mother of the race through i

Adams description of Eve: "On she came Led by her heavenly Maker, though unseen, 1 And guided by his voice; nor uninformed Of nuptial sanctity and marriage rites. Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye; In every gesture dignity and love."

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

Ambition is the sun which opens up the dawn of real day to a man. Instinct keeps the dog going for it makes him hoping for his bone to bite at. And it teaches the squirrel to put away its store of nuts for the winter. Also it drives the savage to its hunt for food. But when ambition's spark Is touched, the MAN is aroused. Ambition cut down the trees, built the rude cabins for the settlers, and turned wastes into cultivated fields, towns, cities and great states. There are always undiscovered countries ahead for the ambitious. Ambition makes one want to do something be somebody. And what a developer it is! It takes the puny body and makes of its frame a thing of strength. It puts the fire of leadership into men and women. It blossoms intelligence from Ignorance. , Ambition leads to ambition! The higher you go, the higher you will WANT to go. And the more you achieve, the more you wiU take pleasure in achieving. Ambition is very kind to folks. - But there are ambitions and ambitions. I shall leave but one in yoUr mind today have an ambition to leave this day a better day than when yott awoke to its plans and possibilities!

Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

Some Vienna theaters do without ushers by mounting electric lights.

Under the heading, "Poultry" in Its classified columns, a local paper has the following: "Now for sale, nice large Texas pecans." The question rises as to what sort of bird a pecan is. Isn't it possible they mean toucans? Ibex is worried. He asks: "Inasmuch as a person who eats vegetables is a vegetarian, is a person who eats fish a flshetarian?" We refer this question to Dr. Lowell of Yale. A glacier has been christened Lloyd George, but it doesn't show any signs of breaking up. Now doctors have discovered that neither draughts nor open pores cause colds. This much can be said for doctors. They can always find some new theory. A downtown firm displays a twentyfoot sign reading: "Holiday Presents at Unequaled Prices," which leads J. L. Beers to ask: "What do they mean by 'unequaled'?"

It Is Acid-Stomach That Makes the Bo dy "SOUR" -Old and Weak

' What is it that roos so many people of their vitality, youth and good looks makes them all in and decrepit years before their time? Some say it's rheumatism that is ailing them. Others complain of chronic stomach or liver trouble. Others are bilious. Life is a burden to multitudes of dyspeptics. Severe headache, extreme nervousness, insomnia, mental depression, melancholia, anemia, dizziness, vertigo, heart and chest pains, constipation, etc., claim other multitudes. - In about nine cases out of tea ACIDSTOMACH is the cause of these ailments. ' The first symptoms of this condition are nearly always Indigestion, heartburn, belching, foodrepeating, painful bloat, gas, etc An Acid-Stomach cannot properly digest food. -Unless food is fully digested its nourishing: elements cannot be properly assimilated. Hence the blood becomes thin and impoverished.' No personV no matter how strong or robust lie or she may be, can long withstand the insidious, day -by-dayheeJth undermining effects of Acid-Stomach. Even the tasteless acid that -causes acid-mouth is powerful enough to eat through the hard enamel of the teeth and' ' cause them to decay. Is it any. wonder, then.
