Peking Is Again Filled With
Rumors of a Street Railway
I- •
PEKING, March 6. —Peking is again
alive with rumors that the city is to
have a street railway system. Al
though the city has a population of
about one million inhabitants, it has
never had any sort of street cars. Rick
shaws drawn by coolies afford the
chief means of transportation. Old
fashioned Chinese and Manchs cling
to the clumsy Peking cart, which is a
heavy two-wheel wooden cart, with
out springs, drawn by a single horse or
mule. The cart has an ark-like cover,
under which passengers sit in crouch
ing position. The rider sits on a
small extension in frotn of this cover
with his legs dangling at the horse’s
heels.
Roads about Peking are so bad, and
many of the streets are ■so narrow that
automobiles are little used, and even
carriages are not as satisfactory as
richshaws which can worm their way
into the narrowest alleys.
An American company is now re
ported to have made overtures for the
street car franchise. Several months
ago an English and French combina
tion was bidding for the street car
privilege in Peking, and at one time it
was reported to have entered into a
contract with the government. The
minister of the interior, Chu Chi-chien,
who is acting director of the Peking
municlality, has called a general meet
ing of officials for a discussion of the
proposed street car lines. The Chinese
are .eager for an improved transporta
tion system.
Peking has two railway stations
which are on opposite sides of the city,
a distance of more than four miles
apart. This trip requires nearly an
hour in a rickshaw. In the days when
time was of little value to the Chinese,
suggestions concerning electric street
railways were ignored. But now time
has come to be more of a factor in Chi
nese life, and there seems to be little
opposition to electric cars.
The summer palace, which is prob-
ably the greatest show place in the
vicinity of Peking, is about twelve
miles from the legation quarter, ond
in the vicinity of Tsing Hua College,
which is sustained by the Boxers’ in
demnity funds remitted by the Ameri
can government. These two points of
interest are much sought by tourists
and will probably be connected up by
electricity when the city gets a street
car system. The Ming tombs, the
Nankou Pass on the Great Wall, and
scores of other points of interest less
than one hundred miles from Peking,
afford a great opportunity for an elec
tric inter-urban system. Tien-tsin, the
seaort for Peking, is only eighty miles
away.

PROFESSOR MORRIS
MINED M POUNDS
INI OHIO
TENNESSEE SCHOOL TEACHER
HAS FOUND TANLAC TO BE THE
BEST MEDICINE HE EVER TRIED
Os the thousands of letters that have
recently been receivevd at the Tanlac
office from well known men and wom
en, who have been benefited by this
medicine, none are more interesting
than the one received this week from
S. R. Luton, at Bumpus Mills, Tenn.
This letter which was addressed to
G. F. Willis. Atlanta, Ga., reads as
follows:
Dear Sir: You will find enclosed a
testimonial from Professor Elmer
Morris, who is one of my customers.
Professor Morris had a delicacy in ex
pressing himself and granted me the
right to give you the particulars in his
case.
He tells me that he has been a great
sufferer from chronic stomach and
bowel trouble, and never had been able
to get anything to give him any relief.
He fell off in weight from 225 pounds
to 170 pounds. He went to Dawson
'Springs, Ky., and when he came back
he said he was not better.
I persuaded him to try Tanlac. He
weighed on my scales at the time he
began taking it and only weighed 170
pounds. After taking three bottles of
Tanlac he had gained 20 pounds. When
he brought this testimonial to me he
had gained 4 pounds more and weighed
225 pounds and decided to quit taking
Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the public
schools in Stewart county, Tenn. He
lives here in one mile of my store and
bought the Tanlac from me. His true
postoffice is Dover, Tenn., R. F. D. No.
1. Professor Morris’ statement is as
follows:
“I have just finished my third bottle
of Tanlac and have gained 20 pounds.
I just weighed 170 pounds and now I
weigh 190, and never felt better in
my life.
“I have been a great sufferer from
stomach trouble for about one year. I
tried every doctor I could get to, and
went to a health resort at Dawson
Springs, but nothing did me any good.
I decided to take Tanlac and found it
to be the best medicine 1 ever tried.
"Yours very truly,
“PROF. ELMER MORRIS.”

Patent Stills
Taken Over In
England Now
LONDON, March 6.—Tetootalers
ai d prohibitionists have hailed with
joy an intimation by David Lloyd
George, the Minister of Munitions,
that all patent whisky stills in the
British Isles will be taken over by the
government for war work until the
end of the war, to be used for the pro
duction of certain ingredients of ex
plosives.
There will be no shortage of whisky,
however. The distillers say they ahve
a stock in bond quite sufficient to sup
ply the normal consumption in this
country for at least three years. They
aiso point out that unless the war
should come to a sudden end their
supply would last four years owing to
the lessened consumption due to the
restricted sale now in force.
Only about a dozen of the bigegst
distilleries in Scotland come under
the category of patent stills. In the
year ended March, last there were
distilled in Scotland 28,000,000 gallons
and there were in stock 113,000,000.
There are many of the other type of
stUl or pot stills not likely to be taken
BOWLERS ME
FDR IH EVENT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 6.
The "booster’’ trip of the Washington
bowlers to Richmond last week in
the interest of the big tournament to
be held at the National Capital start
ing April 3rd, was a big success. With
the pilgrimage to the Virginia Cap
ital, local bowlers have now paid a
personal visit to towns in five of the
neighboring states —Maryland, West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York
ai d Virginia. The bowlers in these
cities have been told of the mammoth
sporting event which is to be pulled
off tn the Nation’s Capital, and every
where the tourney has been enthus
iastically .endorsed.
Baltimore duck pin rollers and those
who prefer the big pin game have
promised to come to Washington in
great numbers. West Virginia will
have both duck pins and ten pin teams
entered. Richmond will send ten pin
teams, while Philadelphia and New
York entries in the tne pin event will
total close to one hundred teams. The
prize list which will be offered will be
cne o fthe biggest ever ottered for any
bowling tournament.
Entries will close March 25th, and
the local schedule committee is desir
ous of getting entry blanks filled as
early as possible.
The Secretar of the Chamber of
Washington, Mr. Grant, 1202 St., N.
W., will furnish entry blanks and any
[desired information upon request.
over by the government. In these
fermented liquor obtained from the
barley is boiled in a pot. The escap
ing vapor passes through a pipe where
it condenses as spirit, but it is im
pure and has again to be distilled.
The patent still is a complicated ap
paratus which, with the application
of steam, works quickly and requires
no second distillation.

Advice of Mother no Donbt Pro*
tents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—“ I was not able to
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot tell you how 1 suffered with
my nead, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband be
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor
but he did nut help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
1 took eleven bottles, and now I am abte
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
1 think Cardui is the best medicine far
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped a»

in the past 50 years.
