Tramp Saves Train From Disaster.
JESUP, Ga., Jan. 3.—Scores of pas
sengers left a railway train near here
today to shake the hand of a tramp
who had saved them from disaster.
The train, carrying four crowded

rushing toward a broken rail at 50
miles an hour, when the tramp ap
peared in front of the locomotive
wildly waving his arms. The train
was stopped within n few feet of the
bad rail.

I ( ** A Real Comforter
Almost any kind of pain can be quickly relieved by means
of hot appliances, yet many people employ less effective
methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.
The G-E Electric
Heating Pad
saves all this trouble. It is ready for use in an instant,
\ and will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,
^ day and night, without causing the least bit of bother.
The Domestic Size makes an excellent Electrical
Christmas Gift. Come in and see how nicely it works.
