BUSINESS IS GOOD
IN ORIENT TOWNS
.BRISK DEMAND is REPORTED
FOR MANY AMERICAN
PRODUCTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 80
Statesmen of the large local export
ing firms who have returned from
tie Orient report that the markets
of the Far West are wide open to
American trade from Singapore to
V%ladivostok. At no time has there
been a greater demand for Amerl-
can goods than now exists, and a
number of the men have returned
with orders in excess of the capa-
city of their houses to fill.
One salesman, who recently went
out from here with two or three
good lines, cleaned up several thou
sand dollars a month for several
months in commissions
From crackers to bathing suits
and bathtubs, all sorts of merchan-
disc are in demand and there seems
to be little that the energetic sales
mar is not capable of selling. Cash
orders are said to be coming in so
fast hat the DOGGY OF long time
credits no longer bothers anybody.
In fact, exporting houses have found
that the cash orders are more than
sufficient to tax their output to
capacity and they are therefore
passing up the credit orders.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the goods are being forwarded
in appreciate quantity notwith-
standing the scarcity of shipping ia
CITIES. While a scarcity of bot
toms exists, there is sufficient avail
allie to keep the goods moving.
Much of this trade is going to
China to replace English and Ger
ma lines.

HE MAY SMILE BUT His

CLYDE Canaan, one of the ~proprie-
tors of the Rexall drug store and
well known here and in Tonopah,
is being ''kidded" by friends in both
places as a result of a recent ar
ticle in a Tonopah paper in which
he was confused with a character
who, before being sent to the insane
asylum, was known as "Smiler.'
Many weeks before the appearance
Of the article in the Tonopah paper
Canaan found "Smiler,' who was a

With hop and had him arrested,
which eventually resulted in "Smil-

How an account of the occurrence
came to appear in the Tonopah
paper many weeks later with Can

known, for as a matter of fact he
was the hero of the episode. His
friends have asked that the fair

PEARS
MAY Be PLENTIFUL
FRUIT NOW RARE WILL BE Gull
TIVATED IN CALL
FORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO Cal, Oct. 30
The delicacy, the avocado. better
known as the alligator pear, strang-
err to all but a few tables in the
United States owing to it's high cost,
may in the near future take it's place
in the American home with the ap-
pie, the pear and the peach.
Backed and encouraged by the
university of California, fruit grow
ers of southern California have be-
gun the cultivation of this edible on
a commercial scale. A vast amount
of planting of new groves is going
on and the prospects are that in a
short time the California markets
will be we'll supplied with it.
According to the experts of the
college Of agriculture of the uni
versity of California, there is no
fruit which a compare with the
avocado in the richness of it's food
values. Not only does 1t contain
90 per cent of fat, but also 1t is
rich in various mineral substances
useful as a constituent of a mans
diet.
1t is a native of the West Indies
and it's shape is not unlike that of
the ordinary Bartlett pear. which it
exceeds in size. In color it is a
deep green. 1t contains one large
pit. To eat it the pear is cut in half
and the pit removed. 1t is then
eaten out of the skin with a spoon
after the name of a muskmelon.
While many do not flavor it in order
to preserve the delicate taste of the
avocado. others use French salad
dressing.
The individual tree is capable of
rich productiveness and it Is believed
that eventually the production of the
avocado will become m of the i'm
portant food resources of California.

at first reported to be in Luning and
later at the Spanish ranch near Tus-
carora in Elko county. The sheriff
Of Elko county has been unable to
find him at the latter place and it Is
believed he has deserted. He was
summoned on the last occasion as

the local board. the adjutant general
later ~consenting to a ~reopenlng or
the case, which resulted in the local
board reversing it's former decision.
He was then re-certified to the dis
trict board as having been exempted
here after the second examination.
This decision the district board now
has reversed.

WAR FORCES
Of KAISER
ARE BIG
GERMAN ARMIES HAVE IN
CREASED IN NUMBER
DURING WAR

FRENCH FRONT, Oct. ga
clear idea of the ebb and flow
of the tides of German forces on the
eastern and western fronts during
the various phases of the war from
the opening of hostilities in 1914,
til, the beginning of September,
1917, is obtained from carefully
compiled information which the
correspondent of The Associated
Press is enabled to transmit.
From this it is gathered that
when the Germans started the wal
by invading Belgium they launch
ed 1870 battalions of infantry,
formed into 96k divisions of four
regiments each, on to the Franco
Belgian front, while on the Rus
sian front they employed only 322
battalions, formed into 26k divi-
sit ms of four regiments each.
On Sept. 1 this year they had on
the IloHl,
1859 battalions formed into 147
divisions, some of which were of
three and others of four regiments
each, while on the Russo-Rumanian
front 965 battalions formed into 92
divisions were in line. 1t will thus
be seer that the German armies
or the fighting fronts have been
Increased in the three years of war
from 1912 battalions to 1884 batta-
liens.
A review of the different periods
of the war will show how these
t,tops have been employed at var
icus times, according to whether
the principal effort of the Germans
has been directed toward the west
err or the eastern front.
In August 1914 the attention of
the German high command was alb
sorbed by the attack on Belgium
and France, while the Russian front
was regarded as a secondary occu-
patton. At hat time the infantry
electives on the western front num-
bered 1870 battalions in 96R divi-
sions, each division consisting of
four regiments. On the eastern
front, the Germans then had 1922
battalions comprising 26k divi-
siOns.
When the battle of the User was
fought in November, 1914, the Ger
mans intensified their effort in the
west and brought up their electives
to a higher figure and at the same
time increased the number of batta-
lions on their eastern front SO that
they then had 1898 battalions on
the western front and 399 on the
eastern front.
When the French and British be-
gan their great offensive operations
in July, 1917, the Germans were
compelled to bring fresh forces to
the western front, increasing their
hattalions there to 1856 but reduc-
ing the number on their eastern
front only to $50.
Subsequently the German batta-
lions along the Russian %battleline
were increased by the addition of
more than 100 battalions, bringing
the total there to 965 on Sept. 1
of this year. These were divided
into go divisions of three regiments
each. During this movement the
battalions on the western front were
reduced to 1869, divided into lat
divisions and that is believed to
have been the number on the Ger
man front on Sept. 1.
. These figures do not include any
German troops on garrison duty ir
the interior of the country nor
those maintaining lines of communi-
cations.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu
traiize Irritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning. scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO 1t no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever
Here you have a pleasant, effervesc-
ent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble
