The hardest problem in all the cs-
Establishment of the stage lines was
to get the conductors to turn in the
money they receive. In most cases
The employees RENTED whatever they
thought was not saIe to keep. Various
checks were invented to stop this, but
only about two months ago an effec,
tive system was devised TO enfore
honesty on the part of the conductors.
And in this the Oriental nature of the
Filipino citizens was appealed to on
it's most susceptible side. The tickets
have on them figures showing the dis
lance travelled, list of the commod-
tiles usually with the passenger fare.
The conductor is required to give the
passenger dup cate, The tickets are
numbered and at the end of each
month lottery is held and the holder
Of the duplicate to the lucky numbers
receive prize; usually 80 pesos (S15)
for the first, 80 pesos for the second
and 10 pesos for the third. Since the
winner will forfeit the prize if his
ticket is not correctly punched each
individual demands honesty on the
part of the conductor.
The only things that are allowed to
ride free Of charge on the Filipino
stages are the fighting cocks. The
companies figure that his is large
incentive to business, for on Sundays
and holidays the trucks are gay
array of highly colored camisas
(shirts) of the old Filipino taos, each
proudly bearing his favorite fighting
cock in his arms as he makes his way
toward the village cockpit which IS
covered by a great roof in nipa palms.
Here his cock vii fight; some other,
probably with knives three inches long
fastened to his legs.-American IN

TORPEDO PLANT WAGES

We have noted with some
surprise the various reduc-
tions by the Government in
wages at the Torpedo Plant
located in Alexandria. A re-
duction in the number of
days from six to five per
week, and then a cut in the
rate Of pay per hour. We re-
gret to see this ciminution III
the pay of the wage-earners,
many of whom have taken
up their abode in our midst,
and hope that it will be
found eXpedient TO restore
the former scale and d full
week of work. Especially
do we think the clerical
workers in the government
employ are unjustly treated
by the new scale, so far as
we have seen it. This

TODAY'S
THOUGHT
JAMES F. PEYTON

The Gazette's columns OF
yesterday contained the sad
announcement of the death
of James F. Peyton, for the
past twenty years Alexan-
dria correspondent OF the
Washington Post, and one OF
the best-knoWn newspaper
men in the Capital. At one
time he was prominently
connected with the Gazette
as it's business manager, and
frequently during his later
wears contributed to its col
umns, as we'll as maintaining
an intimate and friendly re-
lationship with its staff. Mr..
Peyton was possessed OF a
peculiarly sunny disposition,
and his vast fund of anec-
dote, his wide reading and
general culture, made him q
host of friends wherever he
won't He was ALWAYS a most
welcome visitor to this office
and his absence will be keen
ly felt. The Gazette extends
its sympathy to the bereaved
mother and the fondly
cherished family. The rela-
tons between the former
and the deceased we're beau
tiful and touching, and it is
not too much to say that a
more fond and devoted son
never cheered the declining
years OF an 1d0llZed parent.
The same bond Of affection
existed between him and his
sister. His last days were
filled with true Christian
resignation and heroic en-
deavor to spare his loved
ones ali knowledge OF his
sufferings.
Mr.. Peyton was especially
fond of the immortal bard.
He knew Shakespeare as but
few men know him. Quota
tions, oft and apt, came from
his Ii ps in conversation. Let
us pay a last tribute to his
memory, then, by closin,
with one of his favorites:
After my death I wish no
other herald, no other speak
er of my living actions, than
those who dWelt with me in
kinship with the best.

Motorizing the Philippines

The PHILIPPINE Islands could not
wait for transportation development
by the railroads. So they jumped to
the jitney. Development started really
in 1912 and now is going ahead rap,
idly. At first it was hard task to
get the natives to ride IN the auto
mobiles.
But now, says John A. Haeseler in
the September American Industries,
he steps out on the road with his
bag Of corpa or bundle of hemp in
his arms and halls the first stag that
comes along, He shoves his baggage
I'D ahead of him and climbs on. Other
passengers are picked up with their
leads and soon the truck becomes
a weired pile Of men, old women,
children, bundles of hemp, sacks OF
corpa, strings of fish, etc. There are
all unloaded in the center eff Il village
The native will probably take his load
TO the Chinese merchant and bargain
with him and then buy any Of great
number of foreign articles from clocks
to highly colored neckties. An old
man and woman who were fellow
passengers of his, will take the gar
den produce they brought with them
and spread it out on counter IN
the public market, together with their
rcighbors, belly fish, half cleaned
chickens, deliciou: mangoes and pa
payas and set up temporary store
far a day. The old women will wan
der about and visit ner friends, while
the old mer attend a cock fight when
she returns.

man with nerves of steel. When you lack nerve
force there is only one thing that is going to
help you-and that is rorc nerve force. In such
cases mere stimulating medicines and narcotic
drugs nrc often worse than useless: what yo2
must have is something to furnish an ncrcasG\
supply OF tile nerro.vital fluid to your nerve
cells This is most effectively accomplished BY
the free Use of Nuxatcd Iron. This valuable prod
uct contains the principal chemical constitu-
emit of active living nerve force in a form which
most nearly resembles that in the brain and
nerve cells Of man. It also contains organic iron
like the iron in your blood and like the iron III
spinach, lentils and apples. This form OF iro'
will not blacken nor injurc the teeth nor upset
the stomach. 1t is an entirely different thing
from mctallic iron which people usually take.
Euxated Iron may therefore be termed both
blood and nerve food as it feeds strength

chemical ingredient of active living nerve force
to your brain and nerve cells.
Over four million people are usinS Nuxatcd

results which it has produced, the manufac-
turers feel so certain of its efficacy that they

Of substitutes. Look for the word 'Huxatcd
