possible to induce the central powers to accept terms not based on the pres ent war map. but taking into account the international interests of the en- tente and the vital interests of small states"
 M Trolestra then eXpounded his the ories of a federation of the European states by free trade, the freedom of the seas, and also the free disposal of large ports and international chan nels of transport and the systematic organization of industries from which he expects Q durable peace.
 The offer of the central powers should not be rejected, thinks Dr. The odorus Heemskerk, former premier of The Netherlands. as the crushing or an adversary by either side is so inn probable as to mean the continuation of the war for many years.
 None can say before hand that the proposals of the central powers are so utterly unacceptable that even con- versations and eventually counter proposals are impossible says Dr. Heemskerk. who concludes by empha- sizing the constant menace to neutrals of being dragged into the war and la ments the fact that legitimate feelings of nationality are being poisoned by in- ternational hatred.

Sault Ste. Marie railway, and T. w. Evans, assistant general manager of the New York Central, representing the rail- roads. also filed a minority report dissent ing to the eight-hour grant.
 The award makes no mention of the date the new wage scale becomes ef- fective, but it was assumed by railroad officials that it would apply at once.
 The railroad trainmen next week will proceed with their eight-hour negotiations with the railroads and an early settlement is expected as re- suit of the award of the arbitrators giving the switchmen an eight-hour day and a 5-cent an hour wage in crease, according to Warren s. Stone, grane chief of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers. and William G. Lee. president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Both expressed dissatisfaction with the switchmen's award, but declared that their own controversy with the railroads over an eight-hour day now will be settled speedily.
 "The arbitrators did not give the switchmen what they wanted most and that was an eight-hour day with time and a half penalty for overtime" said Lee. "An eight-hour day without any means of enforcing it is not an eight hour day at all"

MRS. HOUSTON WAS

 Tanlac Brings Relief

Some wonderful things happen in this world and my recovery by taking Tanlac is ore of them" said Mrs. Adel Grove Houston, residing at 622 Seventeenth street, Ensley, Alabama, in her statement a few days ago.
 About 10 years ago." Mrs Houston continued, my health failed and 1 kept getting worse in spite of all I could do. I lost my appetite and had no taste for food. had severe pains in my back and was just sick all the time I went to see a doctor and he said my kidneys were out of order and treated me some time without doing me any good. Then I was sent to the hospital, where I was operated on, but even that failed to re- lieve me. I have been in the hospital five times since then and had four opera ticns, but nothing seemed to help me, as l kept growing weaker and thinner and suffering more and more every day.
 ''So finally my mother, who had taken Tanlac and gotten the most wonderful results from it. prevailed on me to try it, and 1t is impossible for me to tell all the good four bottles of Tanlac have done me. Before I took it I was almost in despair of ever getting well and now. honestly, feel like I had been made com pletely over into new woman. All my nervousness is gone and 1 eat and sleep splendidly I have gained nine pounds in weight, too, and my general health is fine, and my friends say I'm looking as well as I tell them I feel Whatever my troubles were they have all left me and Tanlac has done for me in a few weeks what no other treatment or medicine would do in eleven years. and I can't help saying good things about it. I can join my mother now in praising Tanlac and I'm glad to tell everybody I think it is the best medicine that ever was made '
 Stomach and liver troubles and kidney complaints are often caused by catarrhal inflammation of these organs. The stom- ach regulates the condition of the blood and is the fountain head of health or disease as the case may be. Tanac is intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and the correction of ca tarrhal inflammation, but it is no uncom- mon thing for people who have used it to find that it has relieved them, not only of indigestion. but also of rheuma- tism, kidney Arrangements and many other ailments not generally recognized as having their origin in stomach trouble.
 Tanlac Is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton Pope Drug Co.,; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by Pe- gram m-Patton Drug Co.,. in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.,. and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug Co.-Adv

INDIAN STRUGGLES WITH B|G PROBLEM
 OF RAISING FOODS
Demonstration Work Is Be- ing Carried on There to Teach the Natives
 Modern Farming

Simla, India December 1.-( -(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.)--India is struggling with one of the greatest agri cultural problems ever thrust upon any nation.
 This huge country, with a farming population almost twice the total num- her of people in the United States, pre- sents many unique and seemingly unsur mountable obstacles to speedy educational advancement for the tiller of the soil, for here must be considered not only the matter of finance but widespread ilit- eracy and antequated oriental customs.
 The minister of agriculture for India, c. H. A. Hill today told a correspond ent of the Associated Press something of the situation and spoke in the highest terms of the progress that has been made in the United States. In this connection he said:
 T understand a good many Americans are interested in the development of h. dia. We are only too grateful for any assistance or suggestions l believe that some of your educational problems, es- pecially in the south, have been similar to those which confront us.
 'sThe population of India is about one- fifth of the whole world, and at the cen- sus of 1911 the population of British India this does not include the native states1 was 44,000,000 of whom no fewer than IT, ,936, 900 were engaged in one way or another on agriculture. The gross area under cultivation has risen, since 1905 from about 21400o,000 acres to about 250,0 ,000, 900. The net area, that is eXclud- ing the double count of areas which are cropped more than once, has risen from 1S9, 100000 acres to about 220, 900 900 acres The acreage commanded by irrigation rose from about 26,737,O00 acres in 1895-96 to more than 46,S36,000 acres in 1913-14, As regards the more important crops for ex- port, there were in 1913-14 over 25,000,000 acres under cotton, furnishing 5,OOO0OO bales, 2S,500,0 900 acres under wheat pro- ducing S,233O00 tons: 75,500,000 acres un- der rice, producing 575,000,000 hundred weight in round figures; 100000 acres un- der jute, producing 9,OO0,000 bales, and 610,- 900 acres under tea, producing 307O0O,0OO pounds The aggregate value of these crops approached 400 O00,0 pounds.
 These represent the principal crops which the outside world is interested, but it is necessary to remember that over very large tracts of country the staple food is not wheat or rice, but some form of millet or pulse, usually denominated jawar or bajr. These two crops in 1914 15 amounted to nearly 7.500,0o0 tons.

To give em- phasis to his disappointment he followed the story with flood of tears and thereby announced that he was lost.
 His first name he remembered, but his abode he could not state. So instead of facing Santa Claus the tot faced a sterner group-the officers at police headquarters.
 After remaining there for several hours his father located him about , o'clock and the little fellow was sent home.
