New Style Train Makes Record Run Virst Sunrise fo Sunset Non-Stop Run Finished Chicago—Ending the first sun rise to sunset non-stop run in Am erican railroad history, the Zephyr of the Burlington railroad swept into Chicago at 7:09 P. M. (CST) Saturday night at 96 miles an hour. The rushing little stainless steel train more than doubled the proud record of Britain’s Royal Scot for non-stop runs, its own record for dtort run speed and set a new American mark for sustained high ,peed. It had traveled from Denver to Chicago without stopping, a dis tance of 1,015.4 miles, in 13 hours 15 minutes, between sunrise in the Colorado capital and sunset in Chi cago. The Royal Scot’s record of 5 6 miles an hour for 401 miles was replaced by a new mark of 77.5 for the 1,051.1 miles. The Zephyr sped 96.3 miles at a sustained velocity of 90 miles and had reached a peak speed of 112.5 miles per hour which it held for three miles, beating its own pre vious mark by three miles. The 660 horsepower, Diesel mo tor pushed the modernistic train along, the better than thirteen hours between the breaking of a timer’s tape at Denver union trmi naland a similar one at Halsted street station here without a miss. Consistently the three coach train which weighs less than 100 tons, had accepted race challenges from airplanes and beaten them. It was said, President Ralph Budd of the Burlington, a great day in American rail history. Every' inch of the long route wa< policed. Every highway and coun try lane was roped off to givt Zephyr the clearest right of way ar American train ever had. The trip, said President Budd demonstrated three things: "Thai the morale of the men and offfi ! cers of the Burlington is provec by the way the run has been plan ned and carried out, second, the ef ficient condition of the railroad ha: been shown, third that the trair performs fully' up to expectations.’ Uncounted thousands of person: lined the right of way as the Zephyr sped across eastern Colora do, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. me crowns wyere m eviuence 1 until the newr style train breezed I into its stall at the w'ings of a century building on the grounds of T a Century of Progress where it will be an exhibit forecasting improve ment of American railroads during the coming 100 years.

Feels a Lot Better When Black-Draught Relieves Constipation From many states come reports like the following from Mr. W. M. Henderson, of Jasper, Fla: “I have been taking Thedford’s Black Draught twenty years. I take it for constipation that gives me a dull, tired, aching feeling, and I have headache, too. Black-Draught relieves me of this trouble, After a few doses, I feel as good as new. I keep it in my home. I have a big family. When one of us is ail ing (from constipation), we take Black-Draught and almost always feel a lot better. It has been worth its weight in gold to my family.” ... sold in 25^ packages. “Children like the Syrup.” « Dillinger’s Girl. | ----1 ST. PAUL . . .

IRELAND Director, Physical and Health Ed neat ion Hear fersey State Department of Public Instruction The Tomato What article of food has en joyed a more phenomenal rise to| popularity than the tomato? And from all accounts it is a most de | serving ascendency. By all means en courage it, both in your own diet and for the children. Consider these val ues. The tomato is a rich source of vita mins —A, B, and C. It is economical and available all 1 the year. Like the orange, its re action in the body is alkaline, and so it tends to correct acid condi : tions. In fact, physicians are find ing many uses for the tomato in special diets. For some persons^ it acts as roughage and therefore ! laxative. Tomato juice and stewed toma toes in a mason jar are excellent additions to the school lunch box. Moreover, tomato juice and mill; are wholly compatible; that is they can be taken together at the same meal. And fortunately most children like the tomato, for il lends itself well to many pleasing and tasty dishes.
