THE RAILWAY OUTLOOK. Howard Elliott, president of the New Haven, recently delivered a discouraging address on the condition of the railroads. The burden Of his argument was that they re quired capital. "Probably the most important factor in the investment of money in railway securities, Elliott, "is the item known as net operating income, for out of this must come the return paid upon invested capi tal." He thereupon gave some figures applying to the year ending June 30, 1914—a year peculiarly black for the transportation business. Were Mr. Elliott to make an address today he might have occasion to change his senti ment". According to a statement by the interstate com merce commission, the 138 principal lines of the country made substantial gains in revenue during January. There were gratifying increases for the seven months ending January 31, but the gain in January was phenomenal. ^The January net revenue for all the railroads reported was $61,979,586. That of those east of the Mississippi and north the Ohio was $24,626,611. This was practically twice as large as their net revenue in January, 1915. The western and southern railroads are sharing in the pros perity. The movement of goods, which first, affected only the north Atlantic seaboard, has gradually been extended so that now revival of the lumber trade has caused busi ness on western and northwestern roads to improve. All these things, together with some increases in freight and passenger rates last year, have caused a great difference in the situation. The railways have also been economizing. This is pos sibly best illustrated by the 1915 report of the Pennsyl vania, which in the face of increasing business has been able to continue its reduction in expenses. "This de crease in the transportation expenses," says the report, "was due to an accounting change * * * and increased efficiency." Business generally has reason to feel encouraged by the railway reports. Increased re turns ought to attract needed capital to the railways. * • said Mr. THE NAVY. Many people who have been somewhat disturbed by the extreme accounts that we have had of the weakness of the American navy will be surprised and gratified by the testimony of Admiral Fletcher before the house naval committee. He said that with three new dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers we should have a fleet equal in fighting strength to the present German fleet, and "could reasonably expect to make a good defense although not an absolute one" of both coasts against any combination, of two powers that did not include Great Britain. Of course, this proposed addition to the fleet is to be . regarded as a minimum. But the point is that we cannot be said to be in a desperate condition when only seven new ships are required to make us practically safe as against a two-power attack on both coasts. It is to be noted, fur t ther, that wa already have 42 battleships. Many of these, j it is true, are old, and some of them are at the present time in bad condition, but the important thing is that- Admiral Fletcher counts them all as paid of our fighting force. In such a matter as naval preparation the American people are much more likely to act in the light of real facts I than in response to a "scare." They are not jealous of l their navy, or afraid of it. Free peoples never have dis ■ trusted naval power. Naturally the-American people do New Strength for Lame Backs and Worn-out Conditions. Dear Mr. Editor: I suffered from lame back and a tired, worn-out feeling. Was unable to stand erect and scarcely able to get around. It would usually come on at first with crick In small of my back I took one box of Dr- Pierce's Anuric Tablets and my back commenced to get better soon after starting to take them. I did not have to walk doubled over as I did before using the "Anuric." It Is the bast remedy I have ever taken for what It Is intended to relieve. I hope those who are In need of such a remedy will give these Tablet* of Dr. Pierce's a trial. Youra Truly, A. G. DRAKE.

Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up by Dr. Pierce, in 60-cent packages.—Adv, not care to waste money, but they are entirely willing to p a y whatever is necessary to provide an adequate naval defense. Admiral Fletcher, it will be noted, does not say that the increase suggested by him is all that should be made, but that it will do fairly well. With it "we could reasonably expect to make a good defense, although not an absolute one," even were we assailed by two powers on both coasts. Perhaps we should provide for an "abso lute" defense, in which ease we should build more than seven new ships. Surely we may conclude from this testi mony that even our present naval strength is far from be ing as contemptible as the alarmists would have us be lieve;_ MarryitiA ^Mbnqy • • 15*-MRS E\7a leoward . - ^ DRIVEN TO BANKRUPTCY'8 VERGE, JACOB TOWNSEND SUFFERS PHYSICAL COLLAPSE. "What is It, Daddy?" asked Dudley anxiously. Jacob Townsend dropped a letter on hts desk and passed his hand over his eyes in & dazed tort of way. For answer he mo tioned toward the letter. Dudley Picked it up afid read: "Chicago, Illinois, October 11, 19— "Mr. J. C. Town send, Fairport, Kansas.

Btrtn « "Very truly yours, "JOHNSON AND PEF.TS," Dudley laid the letter down and hts father said: "That is the first Urne I was ever refused credit in the thirty five years that I have been In busi ness." "Don't takeiit to heart so. It's the fault of the unsettled condition of business generally. You know what a time yon have to collect; I suppose they are in the same boat." "The point Is I cannot make the pay ment," replied Jacob. "How are we to get goods for our Christmas trade?" "Can't you borrow somewhere?", asked the Junior partner. "I have not been able to so far. The loan I got at the bank last fall is not paid off, so I can't very well ask for more," was the weary reply. "You are not fit to think about busi ness today. Go home and rest a while and things will look clearer," urged Dudley, really worried about his fath er. Jacob rose ami reached for his hat and started for the door. George came up and Dudley whispered: "I am going with him. He is not well enough to go alone. Read that letter," he added, as he hurried after his father. Leaning on Dudley's arm, Jaqpb slowly made his way home. He sank Into a chair in the hall and Dudley hurried t,o the kitchen for a reviving drink. With a small tray In his hand he had started back when he heard a heavy thud. Dropping the tray on the table he fairly ran to the liall. His father was stretched on the floor. Or trude and Mr:, •Tupper came running from opposite directions. Dudley knelt of the floor listening for a heart beat.

"1 am afraid it Is a stroke of paralysis." Dudley and the housekeeper carried the sick man to his room and got him to bed. Ortrude crept up stairs and In to the room as soon as she was assured that the doctor was on his way to the house. Mrs. Tupper dispatched her on errands and assumed full charge of the patient. When everything possible had been done Tupper stole from the room and beckoned to Ortrude to follow, leaving Dudley sitting by the bed hold ing his father's hand and counting the feeble pulse. Ortrude waited in the parlor for the doctor, looking anxicusly down the road.
