The shortest line from Mexico City
to the United States $500 miles, is that
Of the National railway, which crosses
the border at Laredo.
When the four important railway
systems known as the Mexican Cen
trail, the National, the International and
tie Interoceanic were fused into the
National Railways of Mexico, the gov
eminent retained a majority of the cap
ital stock of 615,OOO,OOO pesos.
"All of the railways in northern Mex
leo are equipped with American loco
motives, passenger and freight cars,
and Pullman accommodations are to be
had on most Of the lines. The first
class passenger rates are slightly
higher than on American lines, but
there is a lower second class rate, by
which the poems profit. Distances are
measured in Kilometres cents first
class and l IL cents second class. Res
taurants at the important stations
serve table d'hote meals for 81 and
the trains usually make 25minute
stops for breakfast, luncheon and dim
ner.
"The poems are like children in their
eagerness to ride on the trains and in
the mining sections where small lines
are used in handling ores it is diff
cult matter to keep the native off the
cars.
Although Mexico produces a large
quantity of coal, it is of cheap grade
and the railways as a rule either i'm
pert their fuel or else burn oil, which
is produced in great abundance, espec-
tally in the Tampico region.
The lines in the north are operated
on Mexican time, which is "a minutes
faster than American time at Ell Paso
and SO minutes faster at Laredo.
'The most interesting railway in
Mexico is that 1872 mile stretch of
track which connects the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec. 1t was here that Eads
dreamed a ship railroad which could
lift vessels by huge derricks from the
harbor at Salina Cruz and swing them
on trains which would transport them
across the continent to Coatzacoalcos,
where they would be lowered into the
roadstead.
'The proposed Pan-American rail-
way, being built by American capital,
is expected some day to establish a di-
rect rail communication between New
York City and Buenos Aires"

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove
Them With the Other Presentation.


This prescription for the removal oil
freckles was written by prominen,
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving 4
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guarantee
to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show wonderful i'm
provement, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
io sold on the money-back guarantee.

THAT FIRST EASTER MORN.


across the ocean, and that one is
brewing here at home. Let our minds
wander back into the dim vista of the
past and recall that morning when the
gladstone tidings went forth to the
world that Christ had risen.
That was a glorious morn, the be,
ginning of our Easter day, and with
each recurring period all along down
the ages to the present time humanity
has responded in a spirit of devotion
to God who gave us a resurrectet
King.
1t is fitting then that we should TO:
a season each year get away from the
sordid things of this life and think up
on things more elevating and spiritual
giving thanks to God for having given
back to US on that first Easter morn
Christ our intermediary.
From that eventful day down to the
present time the last week before Eas-
ter has always been a most impressive
and sacred one, and generally observ-
Ell by all the people, and especially
those of the churches and with special
services of some kind. This is as it
should be, but in this day of social
whirl and business thrift we are too
apt to forget the sacredness of the oc-
casion. We are prone to overlook the
purpose of the observance of the day
forgetting that it is the anniversary OF
the resurrection morn. And the re-
greet is that we let our greed for money
and the lust for fine clothes and the
like crowd out of our minds the real
meaning of this period. This is al!
wrong, and we should call a halt 1t is
too true that parents think too much
about new suits, and thus are setting
bad examples to their children by en-
couraging them in extravaganza in
order to make a showing in dress pa.
rade on that day which above all days
should be the most sacred. This has
become most conspicuous in the city
churches and is a fact that should be
greatly deplored.
Easter in its most sacred sense and
in its every custom should convey the
idea of new life, the resurrection and
the everlasting life. 1t is the hottest of
all church observances, and while,
perhaps, it has been corrupted less
than almost anyother, still their are
abuses that could and should be avoid
ed.
AS the years go by the commemora-
ton becomes more beautiful. AS en-
lightment and civilization goes on the
idea that Christ arose from the dead
is brought more forcibly to our minds.
and we are led to the thought that so
does the human spirit arise and like
nature shakes of the cold frosts of
winter and puts on the new garb of
spring and the flowers thus awakening
spirit of fragrance and love for holier
and better things.
The Lenten season for this year is
now passed away. 1t is Eeaster Sun
day once more. Let us then get away
from busy cares and think for a brief
period and think seriously that we NAV
conceive of the real meaning of the
resurrection. At the churches through
out this broad and glorious coun-
try Of ours special services will be
held in commemorative of the day
songs of praise will be sung in adora-
ton of his holy name. Let your voice
he among those to sound the glad and
glorious anthem, 'All Hail to the Risen
King"

Railway Conditions In Mexico
Cause of Very Serious Concern

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-The
railways of northern Mexico, use of
which was fraught with grave moment
to the punitive expeditionary force I'M
der General Pershing few days ago,
because of the serious question of
transporting supplies, is the subject of
an information bulletin just issued by
tie National Geographic society of
Washington.
THE railway system of Mexico has a
mileage which exceeds by % per cent.
the combined mileage of all the other
countries of North and South America
with the exception of Canada, the Unit
ed States, Argentina and Brazil says
Tie bulletin. This vast system has
been built up in 45 years, for while
there was a tiny track from Mexico
iCty to the suburb of Guadalupe as ear.
" as 1854, it was not until 1873 that
President Lerdo inaugurated the first
important line, that which runs from
Vera Cruz to the national capital. Pres
ident Lerdo was opposed to the build
ing of railways across the desert pIa-
teaus of northern Mexico, for he be-
l;eved, it is said, that these arid plains
afforded a certain security against the
political and commercial influence of
the United States. President Porfrio
Diaz, had far broader vision, how
ever, and during his long regime rail
read building was one of his chief con-
Germs, so that when he retired from the
presidency these steel arteries of COM
merce had crossed the United states
border at six places-Laredo, FL Paso,
Nogales Eagle Pass, Preside and
Brownsville, and 100000 people were
carried annually, together with 11,000,-
600 tons of freight.
One of the most interesting features
of the railway system under Diaz was
his insistence that the American man
ayers of the merged Mexican national
railways should employ, whenever pos
sible, Mexican conductors, brakemen,
telegraph operators, fagmen and sec
ton foremen. In this way he hoped to
build up substantial middle class
from among the poems, one of the cry
ing needs of the country.
THE first railroad connecting Mex
leo City with the United States border
V as that to Ell Paso, opened by Presi-
dent Diaz, 80 years ago last month.
This line has been extended in recent
years to Tampico on the east and to
Guadalajara on the west and now en-
braces a system of 1000 miles.

From there the visitors will stop at De

again they will stop at the Asheville
