Faced Rail Troubles Mr. Hines was the assistant director general of railroads under William Gibbs McAdoo, during the war, and became director general on Jan. 10, 1919.

Labor troubles were numerous during that period. Strikes were called or threatened. Railroad equipment also was run down, service inadequate and the public in a complaining mood. The director general was able to keep things going, but he insisted, again and again, that the railroads' only solution lay in consolidation. He advocated zoning and combination of the railroads into 12 to 20 systems.

That he continued to do until long after his resignation in May, 1920. Born in Kentucky Born in Russellville, near Bowling Green, on Feb. 2, 1870, Mr. Hines graduated from Ogden College in 1888 and the Virginia University Law School five years later. At the age of 16 to help pay for his schooling he had learned shorthand and he worked as a stenographer for the Louisville Nashville Railroad.

After obtaining his law degree he became assistant attorney for the railroad. At the age of 30 he was first president of the road. In 1904 became general counsel for Wice, the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe. In 1916 he became chairman of its board of directors. Was Shipping Arbiter After resigning as director general in 1920, he went to Europe as arbiter in shipping and river traffic disputes there involving American claims, and recently he went abroad as chairman of an American commission to recommend an industrial program for Turkey.

The resulting report, recommending expenditure of $32,000,000 for the exploiting of natural resources, was made public last week. He married Alice Clymer Macfarlane in 1900 and they lived at 122 E. 17th Manhattan. He was a member of the law firm of Hines, Rearick, Dorr, Travis Marshall, 61 Broadway, Manhattan. John S.

A cold ordinarily goes 3 stages: the Dry Stage, the 24 through, hours; the Watery Secretion Stage, from 1 to 3 days; and the Mucous Secretion Stage. The first stage is the time to "nail" a cold. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine is the treatment for colds. It is expressly a cold remedy and not a preparation good for a half a dozen other things as well.

It is direct and internal which is what a cold, an internal infection, requires. It is also complete it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowcombats the cold and fever in the system, relieves the headache and grippy feeling and tones and fortifies the entire system. Anything less than that is inviting trouble.
