Government and the Unemployed.

The Ellis Island ferry is working again. Ev-
cry night at 80 it is carrying five hundred of
the Manhattan homeless unemployed over to
sleep in the cots and blankets unclaimed for a
season by the immigrants detained in the war
ring countries.
1t is too dark for the ragged, hopeless looking
men that crowd the boat to see the Statue of Lib
erty. And they are too sophisticated, too foot
and discouraged from the days tramping in
the vain search of jobs to be stirred by any ex-
travagant illusions if they did see it. For the
morrow, it means to them nothing but legacy
of hope deferred; but for the night it means lib
erty to sleep in decent place by the hospitality
of an agency from which the proudest of the des-
titute will not scruple to accept aid his national
government. Men that will not go or do not find
their way to the municipal lodging house have
found their way to this federal shelter.

To Bremen cotton LOCI to 1.151 per
cent.
The report finds these ocean freight
charges arbitrarily imposed upon our
farmers and business men" meant an
increase for the month of December
alone of SIS, 01S,700 and If the exports
continue at this rate, it is estimated
that the ship owners, principally for
eign will collect for the year 1915 In
creased freight charges above the nor
nal rates Of 16,224,400.
Analysing the situation the report
says:
High rates are not only restricting
the general volume Of our export
trade, but are actually stopping expor-
tations in some lines. Ship owners
in some instances are taking only
those goods or commodities which will
nay the highest rates OF freight and
are easily unloaded, and are declining
to accept shipments of other commOd-
tiles (such for instance as lumber) be-
cause the character of the shipments
and rates obtainable thereon made 1t
more to the interest of the steamship
owner to accept one class OF goods
than another These Determinations
against different classes Of American
produce and against certain lines OF
American business are both arbitrary
and hurtful.
Jump Coal Rate.
The report calls here attention to a
matter received Jan. IS, 1915, from the
Panama railroad company, showing
the inability to get coal to the canal
zone for the use of the Panama canal
and adds:
The direct charge is made that the
Standardization line has repudlated
written contracts with American ship
pers and has increased freight charges
without regard to their rights
Many Of the letters from business
men and exporters, on which the re-
mort is based, are attached to 1t and
they show clearly the difficulties I'M
der which the foreign trade is conduct
ed, at present.
A big commission house in San
Francisco wrote that 600 tons Of dried
fruit shipped through the Panama
canal to New York for export to Hol
land and Scandinavian ports were held
I'D a long time in New York because
no ships were available. The rates on
this product increased 800 per cent
following the war UP to the first of the
wear and 100 per cent has been added
since then.

York harbor, unable to go out to sea
because of the danger of being de-
stroyed by the war ships of the allies
1t would seem that bankruptcy must
be inevitable as a result of this sup
preston Of trade.
The Panama canal zone was &C
CURED by treaty with the republic of
Panama and for the concession we
paid $4,000, 600 and contracted to pay
$250,000 per annum. 1t would seem
that this country would have made a
great bargain to have induced our
country to build the canal for nothing
and the further proposition favored
by our government of paying Columbia
another S25,000,000 should he met as
the demand OF a highwayman.
Road Charges Five Cents.
''The Panama railroad which has
hitherto done all the carrying Of pas
sengers and freight across the isthmus
has an interesting history. 1t does not
seem to be bound by restrictions of
the interstate commerce commission
and it charges five cents a mile pas
senger fare for what would be rated
as second class accommodations in the
north. The freight rates are 81 05 per
ton, whether you ship to the first sta
ton or to the end Of the line.
ut was my original plan to go from
here to various places in Central
America but the ladies do not take
kindly to the idea SO we take a
steamer tomorrow for Jamaica where
tn. conditions are said to be favorable
for an idle life.

WHAT CATkRRH IS

It has been said that every third person
is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and buildinr-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful S. Tryit.

EAT LESS AND TAKE:
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps OF
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach. or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time.
