nkham's Standing Invitation to Womer

The. Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight
rates for distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter-
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, it's indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted 1t.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles OF other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider large state, has 1900 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.
England, Germany, France, Holland
and Belgium are all contemplating
further extension and Improvement of
their canal systems.-Century Maya

Little Bartholomew mother over

driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one Of his playmates. had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: II didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

During the first year the amateur

the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap

question:

PIRATES OF TO-DAY
CHINESE WATERS tNeEarEo
WITH BOLD LooTERs.
Foreigners and Natives Alike Fall Vic
Tins to the Desperate outIaws-
China Remiss in Suppress
ing the Evil.

The days of piracy in the waters
which border the coasts of the prog
ressive nations of the world have long
since passed.. but along the coast of
China the freebooter is still a power
10 DE reckoned with, and his bold
raids upon little sea coast towns and
the smaller shipping presents one of
the most serious problems that the
foreign ministers to .Pekin have to
consider, and at the present time they
are urging China to suppress the busi-
ness
While the worst cases of piracy oc-
cur In the vicinity of Hong Kong, in

that stretch of the West river between
the British port and Canton. there is
hardly ten miles of China's long coast
line that is not from time to time at
tackled by pirates.
The pirates who infest the waters
adjacent to Hong Kong are exception
ally bold, and during the last few
months several British ships have
been looted. Their method of opera
ton is very simple. Members Of the
gangs go aboard ship in Hong Kong
rs passengers, and when the vessel
reaches part of the river where the
remainder Of the outlaws are waiting
In junks--sometimes in stolen steam
launches-the outlaw passengers be-
gin shooting crew and innocent pas
sengers and in the ensuing confusion
they loot the ship and before any sort
OF effective resistance can be made
the pirates have dropped over the
ships side and escaped in the boats
Of their waiting comrades.
This is OF common occurrence. No
ship IL immune from attack EXCEPT
the swift silk carriers which never
leave port without a strong guard Of
Acered by Americans or Europeans.
During the confusion that resulted
from the typhoon which struck Hong
Kong, hundreds of pirates swooped
down on the afflicted port and looted
right and left. One band of the out
laws seized large launch and attack
ships In every part Of the harbor. It
Is conservatively estimated that the
amount of loot stolen by them during
two days amounted to considerably
over $4,000. 1t will be seen that pira-
cy In the twentieth century is as re-
munerative as 1t was In the days of
Capt Kidd
Every power which keeps a part
of it's navy in the far east has light
draft gunboats or torpedo craft con-
stantly patrolling the inland rivers,
and even China makes a semblance of
patroliing, but it must be taken into
consideration that the rivers of China
upon which ply sea-going ships are
thousands OF miles in length, and 1t
would require hundreds of gunboats
70 police them.
According to those best informed
on the subject, there is but one way
to suppress piracy in Chinese waters,
and that is to place the patrol boats
in command of foreigners. But with |
China's present hostility to everything
foreign. she will not listen to such q
proposal. Meanwhile the foreigners |
and the Chinese are losing hundreds |
OF thousands of dollars annually, ma
rfne insurance is excessive, and inno-
cent people are being murdered al |
most daily. Such a condition could |
hardly exist anywhere else. One is
never surprised at anything that hap
pens In China.

WHAT'S THE USER
To Pour In Coffee When Il Acts a. a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at time but no one can go
without sleep. For a long time have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
orous," says Calf. woman.
DO you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but l finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then ! have drank coffee and
both times / passed sleepless night,
and SO I am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
MY brother was In the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress In
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried cup Of Postum
and liked 1t so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.

of cases just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works won
