on the arilorads may read that it not bes
ing accomplished. If efficiency means
service to the public, if it means facilities
for getting from place to place in the
least possible time and with least incon-
venience and vexation, if it means accom-
modations and comforts for which the
public are willing to pay reasonable pric-
es, if it means delivery of freight within
anything like reasonable time, present
conditions are as far behind prewar con-
ditions as the average train of the present
is behind time.
And speaking of things out west it is
probably true that we have been more
fortunate than have the people in the east
and middle west. Perhaps this is largely
due to the fact that western railroad men
formerly connected with the roads have
in greater measure been retained by the
railorad administration than farther east
where the political picking was consid-
cred more desirable.
Until Mr.. Holden's interview, it was
quite generally believed that the govern
ment as manager of railroads was bank
rupt and that the national welfre demand
restoration to operation by the companies
as soon as it shall be safe and practicable.
He will have to present some figures to
reinforce his assertions before some of
us will change our minds.-Herald Re-

LOSS OF APPBIyVn

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss Of appetite. and
IL you skip a meal or only eat tive
meals day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should al
ways elapse bewteen meals 30 as to
give the food ample time 10 dIghest
and the stomach period OF rest
before a second meal is taken. Then
IL you eat no more than you crave
and take reasonable amount OF
outdoor exercise every day you will
not need to worry about your appe-
tote. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is often
the case, that should be corrected at
once. A dose OF Chamberlain's Tab.

ASIA GREAT DANGER POINT
10 Today, and Has Been for All Time,
the Home OF Plague and
Pestiience.

Asia Is the home OF plague and
many other pests. The facilities for
travel have brought Asia and our Pa.
clfic const together, while the posses
sion of the Philippines has multiplied
the occasions for Intercourse with the
far east Thus. says the Journal OF
the American Medical Association. the
diseases OF Asia threaten the lives
and health OF the American popula-
ton. aud the situation has been ag-
gravated by the conditions OF war.
With the unvaryIng persistence OF bu-
bonlc plague In Asia. II seems timely
to lay further stress on these points.
The obstacles In the way Of success
fully graphing with the plague prob
lem In Asia are almost insnrmount'
able. The natives object to whole
sale incubation and rat destruction
hence the only effective mode OF pro-
cedure Is most difficult TO carry out,
Religious scruples against the slaugh-
ter OF animals. even vermin. are prev
aient throughout India. Consequently
II may he taken for granted that
plague will continue to persist 10
Asia, and as It IL extremely rife
In the two great ports Of that con-
tInent. Hong Kong and Bombay II Is
not an impossibility that IL VIII be con-
y-yed thence to American ports on the
Pacific coast. While there Is no doubt
that our health authorities are awake
TO the danger. II Is well to know
that the danger exists in Asia.

MININGINDUsTRY SEES DAYLIGHT

Brass mills in the east are tied up with
a strike which cuts off copper consump-
ton. The strike which agitators tried to
start July in the big western mines did
not develop for the very good reason that
the miners must have seen that under
present curtailed demand for copper the
mines could do nothing but close if they
found strike on their hands.
The strike did not develop at Butte and
the strike in the Park City, Utah, dis
trict is broken and mines are again op
ening on the old basis.
Higher prices for electrolytic copper
have been paid during the past few days
than at any time since the market broke
below 20 cents pound early in the year.
New business has been taken at 18 3-8
cents pound for delivery as far ahead
as September. The volume at the new
top level however, has not been very large
Producers confidently look forward to
renewal of good export buying in the
very near future with uncertainty over
the signing of peace cleared away.
Nothing can be gained and much can
be lost by industrial warfare at the mines
at this time.

says the New York Times. The result
of this desire 10 get their orders In
early has so far made the volume OF
fall business done better than In any
previous season. Prices have had no
effect In curtailing orders. and the one
idea OF the retail trade seems to be to

TAXATION PARALYzEs INDUSTRY

In Great Britain as far as the laws can
place the burden OF war taxes has been
laid on the rich.
Of revenues produced 80 per cent was
a direct tax on wealth. including income
and excess profits taxes.
Only 20 per cent was raised by customs
and excise taxes, but Of course great
deal is transferred on customers.
For the current year the Chancellor of
the Exchequer proposes to reduce the ex-
cess profits tax from 80 to 40 per cent
He would leave the income tax, aban-
don the so called luxury tav, and increase
taxes upon beer and spirits.
He argues for cutting the excess pro-
fits tax from 80 to 40 per cent, that the
high levy prevents expansion of indus
tries.
No new enterprise will be started, no
factories enlarged in the face Of The 80
per cent excess profits tax.
He is also opposed to general tax on
capital as proposed by some as toe great
a handicap on industries. y

CHECK PUBLIC. EXTRAvAGANCE

Extravaganza in expenditures in public
affairs is almost crime under the con-
ditions in which the world finds itself
today.
War taxes, expansion of all salaries,
higher cost of all branches of public SER
vice, double cost ola II equipments and
supplies compel economy.
Yet one sees motor vehicles in public
work driven about unnecessarily or left

engines idling.
The war period has bred habits of
wasteful extravaganza in all walks of life
and especially in the ranks of public ser
vice, double cost of all equipments and
The disposition is to swell all kinds of
public appropriations and thus multiply
public burdens, and fan the flames of
civic discomfort.
