ELECTRIC LINE IN JAPAN.
First Trolley Road Connecting Two
Large Cities

Japan is already turning to electric tram
ways as a means of transportation. Consul
Sharp of Kobe tells the story of a new
road just opened in competition with a
state railroad between Kobe and Osaka.
He writes:
1.-The opening of the Hanshin electric
railway between Kobe and Osaka marked
a great advance In electric traction in
Japan, 1t being the first line constructed
in this country to connect two large cities.
This railway is operated by the electric
overhead trolley system with 1.6o0 kilo-
watts steam power, and covers little more
than nineteen miles. There are in use at
present eighteen cars, which were made by
the Nippon Sharyo Seizo kaisha of Nagoya,
Japan, from a sample car imported from
the United Ttates. The cars are well made,
and have a seating capacity OF about
fifty. The rails (T-grade) were imported
from Pittsburg, Pa. and the electric
motors were imported from Schenectady,
n. Y.
'"The line is divided into four sections,
the fare on each section being 21a cents,
these being subdvided into ~ cent jour-
neys. All told, there are thirty authorized
stopping places between the termini. stops
being made only when passengers wish to
get on or off the cars.
"On the opening day several cars passed
eight or nine stations without stopping,
and the trip of nearly twenty miles was
made in an hour and twenty minutes. The
average time however, is about an hour
and a half-half as long again as the time
occupied by the steam cars"

ONLY A SUGGESTION

VALUE TO THOUSANDS.


Common would suggest that II one wishes

the food we eat and digest and that food should
be albuminous flesh forming food, like eggs,
beefsteak and cereals in other words the kinds Of
food that make flesh are the foods which form
the greater part of daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while eat enough and
generally TOO much, the stomach, from abuse and
overwork, does not properly digest and assimi,ate
it. which is the many people remain thin
and under weight; the digestive organs do not
completely digest the fesh-forming baefsteak eggs

and make regular practice of taking, after each

the food would be quickly and throughly dgested
because these tablets contain the natural pep

of 1,993,S47, AS per cent over the number
