from Brisbane to Perth must change
cars eight times.
The disadvantage of different track
widths in the Orient was strikingly
illustrated when there was talk of ia
pan undertaking operations against
the Germans in Russia. In discussing
plans it was brought out that the rail
road from Port Arthur and Dairen,
which the japanese forces probably
would use to reach Chang Chun, the
connecting point with the trans-conti-
mental line is five feet three inches
wide. Trains cannot be transferred
from one line to the other and in any
operations there would be much loss
Of time in unloading and loading
equipment.
Great difficulty also was experienced
in adapting for American use locomo-
tives manufactured in this country for
shipment to the Russians at Vladivos-
tok, but which were held here when
peace was concluded with Germany.
Americas best opportunities for the
sale of railroad and electrical equip
ment in the Orient were found by Mr..
Rhea to be in China, which has less
equipment than any other nation in
the world. The Chinese roads earn
about $4,000 gold per mile, as much
as the American roads, which they are
enabled to do through greater efficien-
cy in handling their meagre amount of
rolling stock. The cycle of use of
freight cars is about so days, as COM
pared with Is days in America. De-
; murrage is fixed at $40 for every IL
hours of daylight, SO there is no delay
in unloading. Japan in the future
probably will be more a competitor
than customer of the United States,
owing to the tremendous industrial ex-
pansion in progress there. Much of
their raw material will be purchased
from the United States, but an even
greater amount will be obtained in
China, Korea, and Manchuria, where
Japanese capital is developing rich
coal and iron deposits. Abundant and
cheap coolie labor is available. Ex-
tension of railroads in the Philippines
will be limited by the small size of the
islands, compared with other coun-
tries. England probably will continue
to supply her eastern colonies with
the bulk of their railroad purchases.

]. C. CRAVER-MAY
HIS TRIBE INCREASE

1t is indeed joy to do business with
Mr.. J. C. Craver of Sutherland, Fla.
The Leader published legal adver-
tisement for Mr.. Craver which expir-
ed with the publication of yesterday
afternoon. Cutting coupy from The
Leader an affidavit of publication was
made and mailed about six o'clock in
the evening. In this mornings mail
we received a check for the amount
due, as the bill was sent with the aft
davit. So within fourteen hours the
transaction was closed, signed, deliv-
cred, paid for and receipted.
This is the method of business that
we thoroughly enjoy.
How different it is from the fellow
who gives you small order and then
you send bill after bill, month after
month after month and spend all your
profit in postage and time to collect
what you have earnedand some peo-
pie we know don't pay even then, as it
is evident they never intend to and
consider it good business to postpone
paying bill as long as possible in the
hopes that they will not have to pay it
at all.

In fact, the entire school board have

them. Surely they will all be re-elect-

wATERMEEoNs - POLITICIANS

At 1920 this morning business was
suspended at The Leader office-not
for fasting and prayer, however, but
for feasting and thankfulness and
how we did wish the boys lover there"
each had slice of watermelon like
the one we were enjoying.
DR.. ]. NJ. Baggett, candidate for
justice of the peace for the Fourth
district, brought a big watermelon to
The Leader Office Tuesday and after
showing it to US carted it off, causing
us to make a few remarks about it
being unjust in justice, etc.
To convince US that he has the wis
dom and justice of Solomon, the
doctor came in this morning with an
other big watermelon and insisted that
Justice be done to the entire Leader
force" and proceeded to dissect this
fruit of the vine into equal portions.
1t was JUS ut this moment that bust
ness was suspended and the whole
Leader gang buried their heads in a
big slice of watermelon.
After loosening our belts and wash
ing our faces, the force decided that
DR.. Baggett knows all that is neces-
sary for watermelon fancier or a
justice of the peace to know.

AMERICAS ANSWER.

Great Britain is deeply impressed
with Americas solution Of the conser.
walton problem as regards beer. The
Sunday Evening Telegram of London
thus comments:
mo more beer will be brewed in the
United States after November; that
is simple If drastic way of answering
the question Of bread or beer. As
America sends us grain, 1t looks as II
she is closing her breweries that ours
may remain open. It is very doubtful
II, supposing the circumstances were
reversed, we should do the same for
her; but 1t Is a notable example of the
determination of the United States to
let nothing stand in the way Of carry.

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES.
From the Emergency Fleet News we
learn that the Coast Shipbuildlng com
pany of Portland, Ore, has started d
new fashion in the ceremony Of launch,
ing. FL. Il. Pennell, president Of the
company tells the story thus:
"When about to launch the 'Cabura,'
the first OF this month, we bethought
ourselves Of the waste connected with
the following Of the time-honored Gus
tom of christening a new ship by
breaking a bottle of wine across her
bows, and although we would advocate
nothing to detract from the pleasure
and satisfaction of putting good new
ship into the water, we thought at this
particular time 1t would be more APP
propriate to utilize the money usually
spent for a ships christening for the
purpose of aiding the distresses Of the
dependent children of French and Bel
CLANS, and, instead of bedecking the
ship with ribbons and smashing the
customary bottle Of wine, we took the
stand which has been placed In the
gateway Of our yard, containing a
slotted milk bottle into which our en-
ployees drop from time to time pennies
and small change for these dependent
children, placed 1t on the stand at the
bow of the ship, attached substantial
piece Of money to small ribbon,
placed this money inside of the bottle
and drew the ribbon through the slot
and tackled 1t to the bow Of the ship.
"The young lady who was chosen
sponsor for this launching, instead Of
breaking the bottle Of wine when the
ship started to move, cut the ribbon,
which, flguratively speaking, releases
the ship from its attachment to the
land, and while she sped upon her way
to aid our men at the battle front,
she left behind her as an omen of good
luck and Godspeed a bit of substan-
tial good cheer to those who have been
left to suffer while their parents had
gone forth in their protection, as well
as the country for which they were
offering their all.
I'VE are mentioning this circum.
stance thinking 1t might be Of mate
rial help in the raising Of funds for
the care Of these dependent children,
IL the builders Of ships generally saw
fit to adopt this during the war period
as a universal CUSTOM"

To be possessed of a head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff Is merely
amatter of using little Danderine.
1t Is easy and Inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just get a
small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine
now--it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find q trace Of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair--ine and
downy at first--yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
--Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. ADV,

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DIR. LEE Il. SMITH.

An old enemy Is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs a very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
of the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's--a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
TO carry off poisons from the system and
Keep the bowels loose, daily doses Of a
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
one is made of May-apple, leaves Of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DIR. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi.
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use Of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack Of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic, called
"Irontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical

Some snorer.

In the description of her husbands
frailities Mrs. Sophia Lellinger in
formed the domestic relations court
that he snored. Now this isn't neces-
sarily cause for divorce or separa-
ton or even alimony in the eyes of the
law, although a jury of women might
decree otherwise.
Consequently the magistrate In
formed Mrs. Lellinger that snoring
need not be included in the category
Of crimes attributed to her husband
since it wasn't essentially vicious. But
here the wronged spouse broke in:
"But you don't know Jim's style of
sn0rin' or you wouldn't say that,
judge. know that there's nice, gen.
tlemanlike snorin', and then there's
Jims brand. Honest, judge, when

Given and Taken.

A strange incident occurred the 9TH
er day at the railway station Of Krem-
sier, Austria. A young woman, with
an infant In her arms, asked soldier
on furlough to hold her child for few
moments as she wanted to buy a
ticket. Before the soldier was aware Of
It he held already the little load In his
arms. He waited patiently for the moth
er's return, but when the train and all
the persons had long left the station
he realized that the vanished mother
wanted to rid herself Of her child.
When the child started to cry the sol
der found a slip Of paper that read /:
"A soldier has given It; soldier has
taken It." The soldier took the found
ling to his home and intends to bring
It up.
