SOur Stomach

This is a mild form of Indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
IF you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
a~h take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to aid digestion.-Adv.

RAPID TRANSIT BUS
PLUNGES into MILL DAM
Driver And Four Passengers Barely
Escape Drowning in Allen Milldam
The Rapid Transit bus whic

The Rapid Transit bus which left
Salisbury last Saturday night at
$50 O'Clock for Princess Anne, car
rying four colored passengers, plung-
ed over the mill dam at Allen, en-
dangering the lives of the driver and
passengers. The bus had let off one
passenger at Allen, and was proceed
ing over the dam at d speed of not
more than five miles an hour. The
driver turned slightly to the south
side of the dam to avoid a deep hole
IN the centre of the dam, when a
slide took place on the edge of the
dam, precipitating the car into Pas
serdyke creek, Il distance OF Is or
20 feet below. The driver says the
car turned over three or four times
before plunging into the water,
which. on account of high tide, was
10 or l , feet deep at that point. Pas
SengerS and driver found themselves
struggling in the cold water OF the
creek. fighting for their lives. By
some means or other, the occupants
u the bus succeeded in freeing
themselves from the almost com
pletely submerged car and finally
reached the shore. No serious in
juries were sustained by either OF
he passengers or the driver, and
not much damage was done to the
car.
The cries of the passengers soon
drew several persons TO the scene OF
the accident, and they assisted in the
rescue of the unfortunates.
This is not the first accident that
has happened on this dangerous
dam Only few weeks ago an au-
tomobile filled with colored people
plunged into the Allen mill pond.
Fortunately. at this time, the water
had been run out of the pond and
the car was not submerged. No in
juries were sustained to the occu-
pants of the car.

lapan'S Commercial Progress

Japan exported about $500, 100000
worth OF products, and imported about
$350,000,000 worth during the first II
months of the current year. leaving a
favorable balance OF about $150,000,-
900. Exports Of cotton yarn and fab
RIGS showed an increase from 0,000,-
900 in 1915 to $71, 100000 in 1916;
exports Of matches increased about
50, 5000, 900; copper $4,000, and con-
siderable increases were recorded in
exports Of porcelain.
The most important imports consist
ed OF cotton, wool, iron ore, rods,
plates and machinery, in all Of which
large increases were recorded. Japan
is on the job. All these imports are
to be used in the manufacture OF goods
at labor cost Of from 10 to 25 cents
day, and much of them will come to
US paying less than revenue rates.
The Shensi opium fields Of China hav-
ing given away to cotton plantations,
Japan is talking Of establishing large
cotton mill in that vicinity to take care
of the crop. This will have further
tendency to oust Americans from the
Chinese market in cotton cloths. She
is now driving the Pacific coast millers
of this country out Of the Chinese -four
market, and she was looking forward to
a lucrative oriental business in wooden
textiles before the British government
elected to take over the entire Austria
liam and New Zealand wool crop. The
Japanese banks are stuffed With specie
as a result of her war order prosperity,
and this money is to be used to de-
velop Japanese industries.
If Japan can have the Wilson Under
wood law to shoe-horn herself into our
domestic market, what rich harvest Of
dollars she will reap from US.

The Community Concert

The high school assembly hall was
crowded to the doors last Tuesday
night to hear the concert prepared
under the direction of Mrs. Carter, in
structor in music and art. The differ
ent numbers on the program drew en-
cores in every instance. Past exper-
fence has taught this paper that it is
unwise to make distinctions when the
performers are all local people, where
fore we are inclined to say the entire
program was we'll worth hearing, and
trust these entertainments will be kept
up thru the winter. Mrs. Carter should
find compensation for her labors in the
attendance and the enthusiastic recep-
ton given each number. Undoubtedly
these concerts stimulate interest in the
study of music, and that is worth some
thing. Following is the program.

(Dem.) is quoted as saying: In
England capital and labor have both
learned the lesson that they must work
for the benefit of the state, and there
American efficiency methods now
rule" And yet it was only few days
ago that Secretary Redfeld berated
American manufacturers as the vast
ers of the world" and scored them
severely for their inefficiency. Evil
dently England does no, take the same
view of our factory operators.

Blood of DereIiCts for AnemiCs

Now comes a story from John Hop
kins university, that place where so
many wonderful things have been done
for the good of the human family by
the medical and surgical clynic Of that
famous institution of learning.
More than 100 derelicts from the
Friendly Inn, Baltimore, have under
gone blood tests at 81 apiece this win
ter at the Union Protestant infrmary,
branch OF John Hopkins, for transfu-
sion cases.
OF the 100. 25 have been accepted
and have been paid S25 for submitting
to TRANSMISSION. In addition to the $25
those who are accepted are being paid
at the rate Of 81 day to keep them
selves in condition until they are
needed. The plan was evolved by a
number OF surgeons.
John Robbins, 25 years old, of Buf-
falo, N. Y, who was homeless and
without employment and sought shell
ter at the inn several weeks ago, will
submit to a TRANSMISSION operation at the
infrmary. This blood will be given to
little girl af good family who is suff-
ering from anemia. Most OF the cases
are said to be completely successful.
A history of the families Of the men
whose blood is used is studied, and
only those OF good blood are accepted.
The blood OF these men from the
Friendly Inn now courses thru the
veins OF a number Of prominent men
and women Of Baltimore.

Watch The Legislature

Every bill passed by a legislature
increasing the number OF public en-
ployes means increased taxes, for that
is how the money to pay them is
obtained.
Every bill passed by the Legislature
making the railroads employ more
men than necessary, such as stuffed"
crew law, requiring extra brakemen on
trains, a pilot on light engines, two
men in the cab OF gasoline motor cars,
etc., etc., means higher freight and
passenger rates, for that is how the
money to pay them is obtained.
For this reason the public should
keep an eye on state Legislatures now
is session and see to it that such legis-
lstion is not enacted. In other words
keep tab on the legislator who makes
a football out OF the public welfare.
The people can not escape higher
taxes or higher freight and passenger
rates il the Legislatures pass laws placing
men on the payroll Of the
public, the railroad or any other in
dustry.
