The largest locomotive in the world
has just been completed by the Aneri-
can Locomotive Company for the Erie
Railroad. With the tender it weighs
$4,000 pounds, and on level track
can haul 210 loaded freight cars, maxi
ing train mile and half in length.
But this giant engine is not to be used
for work on the level. Any old engine
can do good work on the level. The
office of the giant Is to push heavy
trains over: the hill between Susque-
hanna and Gulf Summit. where the
ruling grade Is 1.3 per cent. An ordi.
nary engine can haul the train to the
foot of the hill. The giant then helps
it over the hill and the train then goes
on It's way BY the traction of its own
locomotive
There are men in the land who per-
form the same sort of service every
now and then. and they are a very
present help in time of trouble.

COST or l.pAL ESTATE rl,ANsrU:ns

Attention OF land owners throughout
Virginia is respectfully invited TO con
slider the following hypothetical case:
Two years ago u citizen OF Richmond
purchased n vacant building lot. for
which he paid something more than u
thousand dollars. The purchase was
made on the usual terms--one-th third
cash. balance in equal payments OF one
and two years. a deed was prepared.
for which fee was paid. The deed
was recorded. for which another fee
was paid. a deed Of trust wns pre-
pared aud recorded involving additional
fees, and. OF course, there was an at
torney's fee for examining title.
When the last note fell due II was
promptly paid but before the 5pur
chaser could get clear title he had to
pay fees amounting to something more
than 81 for having a release deed pre-
pared and recorded.
Some time after he got his title he
desired to borrow sum OF money on
the lot. and there was no difficulty in
hndlng lender, as such loans are
always in demand in Richmond. But
before the loan could DO negotiated he
was required to pay fees amounting to
$3.50 for preparing and recording Il
deed of trust, examining title, etc. And
when the loan is finally liquidated
there will be other fees for preparing
and recording n deed Of release.
Isn't that absurd? Isn't 1t an intol-
long will the land owners of Virginia
submit to 1t? Our system of transfer
is a hundred years behind the age.

One Call for Physician That Met with
 Quick Response.

Life is such a constant rush to a well-known physician that to secure a little recreation he has recourse to ruses. A visitor called one night, and began a speech to the servant:
 'I want the doctor to come over as quickly as he can"
 He can't do it!" the servant an- swered He left orders that he was so busy that unless it was absolutely 8 matter of life and death he couldn't go out at all this evening""
 But" said the caller, "it isn't ill., ness at all, ,'
 What then?"
 "We want him to come over and take a hand in game of whist"
 "Oh, that's different"
 The servant disappeared, and reap peared a moment later
 "The doctor says he'll be over in ten miutes, sir" he announced.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
 -Cuticura Cured in Days.

'1 had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch though the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. 1 could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now.

GOOD NATURED AGAIN.
Good Humor Returns with Change tc
 Proper Food.

For many years was constant sufferer from indigestion and nervous ness amounting almost to prostration," writes Montana man.
 My blood was impoverished, the vision was blurred and weak, with moving spots before my eyes. This was steady daily condition. I grew ill-tempered, and eventually got so nervous I could not keep my books torily. I can't describe my sufferings.
 Nothing I ate agreed with me, till one day 1 happened to notice Grape Nuts in grocery store and bought a package, out of curiosity to know what it was.
 T liked the food from the very first, eating it with cream, and now I buy it by the case and use it daily. soon found that Grape-Nuts food was supplying brain and nerve force as nothing in the drug line ever had done or could do.
 Tt wasn't long before I was re stored to health, comfort and happi ness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts food my digestion had been restored my nerves are steady once more, my eyesight is good again, my mental fac ulties are clear and acute, and I have become so good-natured that my friends are truly astonished at the change. I feel younger and better than I have for 20 years.

Australia now ranks second among the great sheep raising countries, Argentina being first with 92,0o0,0OO sheep, Australia second with 72,OOO,oOO, and Russia third with 70,00o,0O0 Only a few years ago Australia was first, pos sessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Pro- longed droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Aus tralian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Aus tralia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish merino sDecieS

Excellent Advice Which Our Readers

Now is the time to get the rheu- matic poisons and foul acids from the blood and system, states an eminent authority, who says that Rheumatism and Kidney trouble are caused by the blood, which often becomes sour from excessive acids, and also tells what to do to make it pure and healthy.
 Get from any good prescription phar- macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar- gon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime.
 Just try this simple blood cleaner and tonic at the first sign of Rheu- matism, or if your back aches or you feel that the Kidneys are not acting right. Any one can easily prepare this mixture at home.

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have Surmounted
 Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as it may seem, New York women have lately discovered way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance. Thought not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the chambermaids that they now feel that it is time to guard their pockets. The Gotham woman discov- cred that if she put her blouse on hind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top to bottom. with the excep- tion of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without un- duly straining the fastenings. So sim- pie! So strange that no one had thought of it before Or is it possible other women have used the plan and meanly kept it to themselves? Will the waist that buttons in the back now have new lease of life?
