tho Southern Pacific eleotrlcal engi

tion of electrifying tho Sacramonto
division of tho Southern Pacific Rail
road, which extends for a dlstanco
of 13 G miles; nnd during tho year
Mr. Sprague, tho father of tho multiple-unit
system of operation, and
somo of tho leading electrical com
panies havo been called In to decide
Upon tho system which will bo bebt
suited to the conditions. As this is
a mountain division, It will form bjr
far tho most Importnnt work of thla'
kind ever attempted. Consldernblo
preliminary work has boon dono by
tho Pennsylvania Railroad In Its In
vestigation to determlno tho best
typo of locomotive and general
equipment for Us New York terminal

glo-phaso locomotives havo been

Cost Nothing to Try.
Noarly everybody knows that
charcoal Is tho safest and most effi
cient disinfectant and purifier in na
ture, but few realize Its valuo when
taken Into tho human system for tho
satno cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy .that tho
more you take of It tho better; It Is
not n drug at all, but simply ab
sorbs (the gases and Impurities al
ways present In tho Btomach and In
testines and carries them out of tho
system.
Charcoal aweetons tho breach after
smoking, drinking or .aftor eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion, it whitens
tho teeth and further acts as a nat
ural and eminently safo cathartic.
It absorbs tho injurious gascj
which collect In the stomach and
bowels; it disinfects tho mouth and
throat from tho poison of catarrh.
All dnugglsta soil charcoal In ono
form or another, but probably tho
host charcoal nnd tho most for tho
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Loz
enges; they nro compoBOd of tho fin
est powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antlsoptlcs In tablet

Tho dnily uso of theso lozenges

that no poBslblo hnrm can result from

plan has been operated practically
without any mishap, and tho now lo

from 1,200 to loss than 700 to say
nothing of tho abolition of tho mils

results on tho sluglo-phnso system
of the Now Haven road It Is, perhaps,
too early to sponk with certainty;
