Menace Of Dust.

Dust is n of the great enemies of
Industrial workers. 1t destroys the
power of the body to fight disease by
clogging up the human machinery. 1t
carries germs of disease into the sys-
tenn and gives them a breeding place to
poison the worker until he is o dit to
carry on his task. This means a small
pay envelope. 1t often means the loss
of a job entirely.

ROME, Aug. 10.--It is stated in Vatican circles that the Pope's i'm partial attitude toward official Ger many is undergoing q change The Pope is reported to regret greatly the action of Germany in connec tion with the deported Belgians.
 The new attitude appears to have been adopted after the fall of Dr yon Hollweg, the imperial chancellor, who just before his res ignation, wrote what now is regard ed as apparently, a farewell letter to the Holy Father thanking hin for his forebearance. and calling at tention to the fact that he had al ways tried his best to grant the Pope's demands regarding prisoners
 Although an absolute break with Germany is not expected at this time, it is certain that the Belgian deportations are daily making more difficult the maintenance of rela tions. The Pope's personal position is also uncomfortable as the result of the fight made by Anglo-Frenct and Belgian Catholics who have claimed that the Pope was sur rounded by Central Empire influen ces

Deliberately Forced a Crew to Drown That Might Have Been
 Easily Saved.
ACCOUNT OF SURVIVORS
Crew Lined up on Deck of Submarine Which Goes
 Slowly Down Leaving Men in the Water

A BRITISH PORT, Aug. 10. = Thirty-eight members of the crew of the steamship Belgian Prince were drowned in a most deliberate man. ner by the German submarine which sank her, according to the account given by survivors of that British vessel who have reached British shores.
 The chief engineer of the steamer, who many times after the steamer was torpedoed was perilousiy near drowning, gave the following nara. tive of his experiences:
 About s o'clock on Tuesday ey- ening, July 31st when we were 200 miles off land, l saw the wake of an approaching torpedo. The vessel gave lurch as she was hit, and l was thrown to the deck among the debris. The vessel listed heavily and all of us took to the boats. "The submarine approached and shelled the vessel and then ordered the smaller boats alongside the sub iiidi iliC- ht ohiPpCi ed and taken inside. The officers were mustered on the deck of the submarine
 The Germans removed the lfebeits and the outer clothing Of all except eight of us, smashed the lfeboats with axes and then re-entered the submarine and closed the hatches, leaving us on deck. The submarine went about two miles and then sub merged

TRADE CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES
 SHOWS GAIN
Splendid Business for the Past Two Years on the Islands Is
 Maintained.

MANILA, July -(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press) - While 1916 saw gain in the in crease in circulation of money in the Philippine Islands which amount ed to 15,000000 pesos, the first six months of this year will exceed that record increase by 3,000,O00 pesos. The circulation since Jan uary 1 has amounted to S5,000, 900 pesos. These figures, say local economists, reflect directly the high ly favorable trade conditions that two years in the Philippine Islands
 The wealth of the Islands is in creasing rapidly. In Manila alone, the assessed value of taxable prop erty today, is over 103 ,000,000 pesos, which is more than 3,000,000 pesos above 1916. Recent agricultural de velopment in the provinces, the ex tent of which it is impossible to cal culate exactly, makes it certain that the increases in property val 0SS III Othti Peii bfo Oi thC ioioius have far exceeded Manila's record. The success that attended the sin gle weeks campaign for subscrip- tions to the Liberty Loan testified to the presence of much available money in Manila Banks and other agencies which have all the funds which they can readily make use of are another testimonial to the pros perity of the Islands.
 There is but one drawback to the general outlook-prices for, sugar and copra in the United States are such as to make it unprofitable to pay the current trans-Pacific freight rates. The chief concern is felt as to sugar. There are upwards of 100000 tons of low grade sugar from sugar provinces. lying in warehous- es. A large part of the sugar has heretofore gone to China and Ja- pan, but conditions in China have practically closed the market there. An unusually large crop of Formos- an sugar has reduced the Japanese demand for the Philippine product to minimum.
 Low grade. sugar cannot command good prices in the American mar kets, hence the present rate on su- gar to the Pacific Coast, which is $35 a ton, makes it's shipment to the United States a losing propo- sition. However, it had been thought that the dispatch of the command eered German vessels to the Unit ed States by the Philippine govern ment would offer enough available cargo space to transport the sugar. The government has assured the sugar planters that their space needs would be met.
 Notwithstanding, the government.
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-08-10

in order to not to compete with commercial liners, is making it's rates conform as much as possible to commercial rates. Hence the rate on sugar must be lowered or the sugar men must be prepared to pocket a considerable loss for a sale, probably to Japan, in order to clear their warehouses to make room for the new crop which will begin to come in in November.
 The situation as regards copra is much the same, though there are not such enormous stocks of copra as of sugar and the copra dealers can hold their crop for better prices.

SHOULD EFFECT SAVING
By LOW QUARTER SHOES
R. Don Laws Says S1GN, 100000 Could
be Saved If They Were Adopted.
Styled a War Measure.

R. Don Laws, of Moravian Falls,
publisher of the Yellow Jacket, has
asked the chairman of the national
defense to have the government stand
ardize the American shoe and adopt
the low quarter type Tor both men,
women and children. says a Washing
ton dispatch in the Greensboro News.
By so doing Mr. Laws says. a saving
of more than $100, 600, 900 a year will
be affected.
The people of the United States,
Mr.. Laws says, present an amazing
spectacle of inconsistency celebrating
"meatless" days and wheatless" days
in high top shoes.
Mr.. Laws says he has been visiting
around the big towns lately, includ-
inging Greensboro. and he has noticed
that both men and women. especially
the women, are wearing unusually
high shoes. He declares that even
the GLORIOUS girls" of Greensboro, of
whom he has read about in the
Greensboro Daily News. are wasting
much shoe leather by wearing very
Ugh topped shoes.
Both men and women" said Mr..
Laws, SHOULD wear the low quarter
type of shoes and they should be
standardized so that a saving would
be made along this line too. There IS
no use wasting good shoe leather to
BUILD shoes so high that silk and other
kinds of hosiery will be held from
view.
Mr.. Laws letter follows:
LAS an American patriot who de-
sires to see every of energy of
this country utilized in pushing this
war to a successful conclusion. I have
an idea to offer. which would enable us
to save over 500, 600, 900 a year. 1t
is this: Let the government proceed
at once to standardize the American
shoe, adopting the low quarter for
both its male and female population.
Since American manufacturers wifi
have to furnish shoes to virtually all
the warning allied nations this plan,
if adopted. would go a long ways IL
helping to win the war. 1t will save
us at least 800, 000, 900 annually.
"Along with the other good meas
ures Of conservation why not the low
quartered footwear? In the midst Of
worldwide leather famine the pep
pie of the United States present an
amazing spectacle of inconsistency
celebrating 'meatless' days and wheat
less days in high top Shoes"

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced aged of IS or 80. you will
find that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will. however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber
lain's Tablets to correct the disorder.
These tablets do not contain pepsin,
but strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform it's functions naturally.
They also cause a gentle movement Of
the bowels.
