Rotterdam in eight or ten days, while the
freight steamers take from nine to twenty
days.
This line is making money and it has
for several years paid dividends of 10 per
cent aud Upward.
Outside OF the Holland American line
the chief steamship companies which deal
with the United States are freighters, the
most OF the vessels going to the southern
states. There are tank steamers belonging
TO the German American Petroleum com
pany and the American Petroleum company
which ply regularly between New York,
Baltimore. Philadelphia and Rotterdam.
and there are tramp steamers which carry
oil. The Neptune line has one or more
steamers a week to Baltimore. The Cos
mopolitan and the keystone lines make
regular shipments to Philadelphia, and the
johnson Blue Cross line and North Ameri-
can transport line do a business between
here and Norfolk and Newport News. Then
there is the Charleston Transport line
with irregular sailings. the Texas Trans
port and the Terminal Transport. with
steamers to New Orleans and Galveston
and the Gulf Stream line, which sails hi
weekly to the same ports. Barnard q
Co. have steamers from Savannah TO Rot
terdam, and the Cuban line goes from Rot
terdam or Antwerp to New Orleans every
three weeks. There is also a line from
Holland to Boston. With steamers ever,
ten days and other lines to PhiIadelphia
and New York. So you see that the Dutch.

Climate Cures.

The influence of climate conditions in
the cure Of consumption is very much
overdrswn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup,
Free expectorarion in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus
tion due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented of stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to 60 to warmer cline, you
will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
fted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c;

THE MI-O-NA TREATMENT.

FIesh-Formlng Food In Tablet Form That In
creases Flesh-Guaranteed by L. Taggart.
The discovery Of Mi-o-na, the remark
able fesh-forming foods that builds up
good, healthy, solid flesh and makes thin
nese and scraweipess thing of the past 3,
has revolutionized medical practice in
certain lines.
Its power to do all that is claimed for
it was so clearly proven to l.. Taggart
that he has sold Mi-o-na with the under
standing that if it fails the purchase
price was to be refunded.
L. Taggart certainly exhibited courage
in taking up this method of selling Mi
o-na, but the results have fully proven
his judgment that the Mi-o-na treatment
for stomach troubles, emaciation, general
weakness and run down condition is the
only efficacious and reliable cure.
Mi-o-na possesses healing and soothing
qualities that make it especially valuable
in cases of chronic indigestion and dys-
pepsia. Two or three tablets taken each
day in connection with the regular food
prove it "a true flesh former.
All that many woman lacks to be
positively pretty is little more flesh on
her face. To look haggard or not fat is
never becoming. The use of Mi-o-na
will cure this defect.
With every SOC box of Mi-o-na that
L. Taggart sells, he will give written
promise to refund the money if it does not
give an increase in flesh and resto e
strength. What trifing cost this isrif
it makes you well; if it fails, the expense
is absolutely nothing.

The next thing 1 knew I was in bee

at me anxiously, though the moment

chamberlain is HKely TO zeal
death blow to Free Trade in Eng
land.
Tom Johnson can now mediate
on the folly of counting votes by
the number who come to the free
circus.
With the aid of Tammany and
race prejudice the democrats sue
ceeded in carrying New York City
and Maryland.
No doubt Johnson is very CRATE
full for Bryan's moral support in
Ohio. And so ought to be Sena-
tor Hanna.
In the last election, the Socialist
vote in Massachusetts,, their
"banner state", fell from 32,629
last year to about $4,000.
German is after the democratic
nomination next year, but if he
gets it, he will be wise enough not
to resign his seat in the senate un-
til he knows the result Of the cleo
tion.
There is much talk of General
Nelson A. Miles, as McCellan's
choice for head of the New York
Police. Would the General con-
sent to taking a position similar to
that formerly held by Devery?
In the National House of Repre-
sentatives there are 236 lawyers,
63 business men and II farmers, in
the Senate there ars 81 lawyers, 10
business men and farmers.
There are only 81 foreign born leg
islators in both houses.
Two hundred sailors from the
Navy were recently served refresh
ments in the State dining room at
the White House. There were five
negroes among them. Had Cor
man been President, he would have
requested these negro seamen to
eat in the kitchen.
The democratic attitude on the
negro question is, first, the negro
is so inferior to the white man that
he should not have the right to
vote; and second, the negro is
making such progress that the
whites are threatened with negro
domination. In this connection it
is interesting to know that while
forty years ago, no negro in the
South owned foot of ground,
there are now 1906 farms valued
at $3.50, 100000 and owned by
negroes; besidee this, 100000
homes, valued at $265, 900, 900 and
personal property worth about
$165, 900, 600. After the War not
one per cent of the adult negroes
could read or write, to-day forty
per cent can do SO. Fifty per cent
of the children are attending school
and more could do 50, if there were
facilities. There are 800 colored
physicians, 300 lawyers and 10000
school teachers. The colored peo-
pie own and publish 450 news
papers and magazines. In view of
the handicap under which they
started and the limited opportuni-
ties they have had, it seems that
their progress has been quite in
keeping with that of the great
Nation to which they belong.
Those who are not jealous of their
prosperity and do not fear their
competition, congratulate them on
what they have accomplished.
What arrant folly to spend millions
in missionary work upon the
negroes of Africa and yet try to
repress their progress and prosper
ity at home.
