NEUTRAL LEAGUE
TO RESIST TRADE
RESTRICTIONS, ETC
SOUTH AMERICAN NATION HAS
BEEN HARD HIT BY
THE BLOCKADE

Washington, Nov. 13.-Full details
of the recent proposal to the Brazilian
parliament by the Brizilian Society of
International Law for the formation
of league of neutrals to resist trade
restrictions and other encroachments
by belligerents were made public here
today through the official gazette of
the Brizilian parliament. The propos-
ed league would consist of all present
neutrals and would spring automatic
ally into effect whenever another war
broke out.
The society, in an exhaustive report.
reviews the constant encroachment by
belligerents on neutral trade and urg-
es the government to take immediate
steps to secure the cooperation of all
neutrals for the declaration of a uni
form series of neutral rights and for
their enforcement. Rights suggested
are the immunity of enemy goods un-
der a neutral flag, complete liberty of
trade between neutral nations regard
less of ultimate destination, freedom
from any extra-territorial actions
such as blacklisting and the forbid
ding of any alien to inform foreign
government of matters which might
lead to belligerent restrictions.
Violations of the rights would be
met under the plan first by the with
drawal by the neutral league of the
privilege of friendly treatment for the
offending nation, including the trade
rights.
The report while directed at both
belligerents, is more concerned with
British trade violations. The efforts
of the United States are recognized
but are declared ineffective. The allied
blockade is particularly criticised.
The Brazilian report created great
interest in Official circles here. South
American nations have been hard hit
by British trade restrictions and some
time ago an official announcement was
made in Chile that the Chilean am
bassadors to the United States, Bra
I'll and Argentina had been requested
to seek joint action on the British
blockade.

Evening Leader
Covers Ground

We reproduce the following letter as
tshowing the far-reaching effects of
proper advertising. The gentleman
who writes for "a dollars worth of
Our Candidate cigars" was, of
ieourse not aware that the cigars sent
from This city to the president Just be-
fore she election are worth one dollar
each, and that as there is no stamp
covering the sale of one cigar, it is
impossible to comply with his request.
Only 1000 of the cigars were made, of
which 750 yet remain in the hands of
the manufacturers. We are informed,
however, by the proprietors of the
Sponge Exchange Cigar company that
they will comply with the gentleman's
request, and send him enough of the
cigars that were sent to the president
(the least number that can be stamp
ed according to law as an ADVERTISE
ment. The gentleman is certainly get
ting the worth of his money; can
smoke a couple of the best cigars it is
possible to manufacture from the best
vuelta abajo tobacco, and at the same
time realize that the president of the
United States, with his 100000 per
annum salary, cannot smoke anything
better. The letter is as follows:
807 E. Chelten Ave-,
Germantown, Philadelphia.
Sponge Exchange Cigar Co.,
Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Dear Sirs:
I read in The Leader about your
Our Candidate" cigars.
Will you be kind enough to send me
one dollars worth of them; the same
that you sent to President Wilson, and
oblige,
Yours very truly,

The Science
of Sanitation

Of course, the language Of the up
to-date doctor sbounds in mysterious
words and terms, not .unesgFgs gsandable
and hardly translatable to the ordina-
| ry layman, and al the more mystcri-
Gus because meaningless to the unen-
| Ightened. This terminology has seem
ed sort ef entrenchment behin6
which the profession made, last
stand for the preservation of its sane
tity and dignity and reputation for un-
fathomable wisdom.
But these SAME doctors, particularly
| the older members of the profession,
have awakened at last to the idea that
in order to get the best results for the
greatest number, the layman must be
taken into their confidence and educat-
ed to cooperate intelligently with the
profession. For an intelligent man
works good deal more efficiently If
he knows what he is doing and why
he is doing ii. And so the doctors
have been trans,ating their technicah-
ties into understandable English and
have been telling their patients the
why of treatment methods.
And more than this, as the doctor
scientists have discovered the causes
Of diseases they have been telling pen
pie Of their findings and have been in
viting partnership for the suppress
sion or the prevention of disease. The
plan worked from the beginning and
the sick and death rates began to show
signs Of decrease. It developed the
profession Or the science of SANTA
ton. 1t demonstrated the Importance
of cleanliness of person and surround
ings and showed the relation between
| filth and disease 1t went long way
to prove that the doctors were prac-
tically helpless to maintain any high
degree Of public health unless the pub
lie helped.
Florida's health board has been
among the pioneers in this country III
the effort Systematically to educate
the people and only those who cant
read the English language need be ig-
norant, in this state, on matters Of
sanitation.
But you can't make the horse drink
| if he doesn't want to. Florida people
may, and do, have a general knowi-
edge of sanitary principles, but unless
this knowledge be applied it isn't Of
much use. Indifference is one of the
greatest enemies to efficiency. 1t is
better to lock the door before the
horse is stolen, and the wise man
and he is the lonely one-works quite
as earnestly to prevent disease as t."
cure it.

DRIVING BACK THE ARM
Of GEN. VON MACKENsEN
AND ENGLISH CAPTURE GROUND
RUSSIANS AND ROUMANIANs
UNITE FORCES

London, Nov 12.-Russians and Ru-
manians on both sides of the Dobrudja
and Transylvanian fronts of the Ru-
manian theatre are vigorously on the
offensive against. the troops of the
Teutonic allies. Keeping up their op-
erations to the north of the Constan-
za-Tchernavoda railway, begun last
week, the Russo -Rumanian forces
have been enabled to push back Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's men to a
front running through the towns of
Topal, Inancesne and Kahranasuf.
In the Pennsylvania zone the Rus
slams have gradually reinforced the
fRumanians on the northern section of
the line until now they are fighting
side by side with them over front
of about fifty miles south of the Buko
wilma border. The latest official COM
municatlons from both Bucharest and
Petrograd report the capture of Aus
tro-German positions in the Trotus
and Alt valleys and the repulse of at
tacks at some points. North of Oitus-
pass the Austro- Germans have made
advances, according to Berlin.
After days of sanguinary fighting
the village of Saillisel, lying to the
east of the Peronne-Bapaume road, in
the Somme region of France, has at
last falleE entirely into the hands Of
the troops of General Foch. In the
capture of the town the French in
flicted heavy casualties on the Ger
mans and in addition captured seven
officers md 202 men and eight machine
guns. Or: the remainder of the front
in France artillery duels are in prog
ress.
Little fighting of moment is going
on in the Russian, Macedonian and
Austro Italian theatres: Along the
Narayuvka river in Galicia attacks by
the Russians have been put down by
the Austro-Germans. The town of
Polog and Culse hill have been captur-
ed by the Serbians from the Bulgari-
ans, according to Paris. Berlin ad.
mits an advance by the Serbians ir
this region. No infantry engagements
on the Austro-Italian front have been
reported.

Havre, Mont, Nov. 12.-The "stony''

this band of 800 red men have had 50

Now, with the opening of the Fort

the United States government will set

reservation is in the Bear Paw noun

Uncle Sam has departed from the
regular lottery in the disposition Of
this land to settlers. Application for
parcels in this tract may be made at
Havre, Mont, until November 16 Of
this year.
All applications filed before that
date will be treated as filed simultan-
eously. Applicants will not be per.
mitted to take more than 100 acres.
Where there is more than one appll-
cant for a certain tract, the right Of
the applicant will be determined by
public drawing, which will be held at
Havre, beginning at 10 o'clock a. M,
November 18. Where there are no
conflicting applications, the applicants
may secure their land at once.
The appraised price OF the land is

and never is there here the desolate
forlornness that rold weather brings

Iare advantages that should be stresse>'
both for the benefit of Floridians
themselves and for their winter visi

The connection between health ard
appearances may not loom up big, but
it is real relationship. No person
attracts attention by good looks un-
less he is all right inside. It is the
bloom of vigorous health that makes
the, beautiful face or form. And the
same is true of the city or village or
the home and it's surroundings. If
the streets are carelessly kept and lit

|scraggly and the foliage untrimmed,
something is wrong with the mental
works of the authorities or with the
honekeeper or owner. "The cleanli-

The New Smyrna News says:
''The cutoff connection with the
Okeechobee line of the Florida East
Coast railway has been completed be-
tween New Smyrna and Maytown and
direct communication has now been
established between this city and
Okeechobee.
"For the purpose of inspecting the
new line, including the cutoff from
New Smyrna to Maytown, prominent
officials of the company made a trip
over the extension this week, travel
ing on special train.
"The party included President w. H.
Beardsley, Vice Presidents w. R.
Kenan and j. E. Ingraham, Chief En-
gineer E. Ben Carter, Superintendent
of Transportation J. H. Owen and Di-
vision Superintendent G. A. Grimsley.
The party arrived here from St. Au-
gustine Monday afternoon and start
ed over the cutoff a few minutes lat
er. Returning from the trip over the
Okeechohee line the party went from
Maytown to Titusville and then south
over the main line to Key West.
Superintendent Grimsley accompanied
the party as far as Fort Pierce. The
special train carrying the party of
officials is expected to arrive here to-
day on the return trip to st. Angus
tine and Jacksonville.
"Work on the New Smyrna May
town cutoff was begun about year
ago and the finishing touches enough
to permit the running of trains was
put on recently. A schedule of trains
for the new run is now being prepared
and will probably be put into effect
about the 18th of the month. 1t is un-
derstood the schedule will call for one
train each way day, the run to be
direct from New Smyrna to Okeecho-
bee. Under the new arrangement all
trains, freight and passenger, will be
operated over the cutoff to save the
extra mileage haul from Maytown
back to Titusville and then over the
main line to New Smyrna. The line
will be operated as a part of the
northern division of the road and the

SALT EVAPORATION
A BIG INDUSTRY Y

In the production of that indispensa-
BILE condiment, salt, the United States
is happily Independent of all other
countries. The 38,231 ,496 barrels OF
salt produced in 1915 by IA states,
Porto Rico and Hawaii constituted SO
per cent of the salt consumed in the
United States, and much more could
easily have been supplied had the de
mand required it, according to the I'm
tied States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior.
Salt occurs naturally in two distinct
ways-as rock salt, in beds or associ-
ated with bedded or sedimentary de-
posts and in natural brines. The larg-
er part of our salt is obtained by con-
verting rock salt that lies deep below
the earth's surface into artificial brine,
which is pumped to the surface and
there evaporated. Some idea of the
quantity of salt evaporated from ma
tural brines may be gained from sta
tistics Of the output of New York,
Michigan, and Kansas alone, three
very large salt-producing states, for
the calendar year 1915. In Michigan
6,70S,261 barrels of evaporated salt
having value of $3,635,692, were
produced; in New York, 3,443, ,464 bar
rels, valued at $1,720,434; and in KaE-
sas, 1,@01,756 barrels, valued at
$696,060.
