ANOTHER WEEK OF
DEVELOPMENT IN DIXIE
BALTIMORE, Md., March 21.—The
entire Florida East Coast Railway sys
tem, according to dispatches to the
Manufacturers Record, is to be oper
ated by oil-burning locomotives. Since
last summer the road has been experi
menting with oil-burning locomotives
on a portion of its line. These experi
ments have been so satisfactory in ev
ery particular that the company is
now engaged in converting all of the
engines on its main system and on
most of its branches into oil-burning
engines, and expects by the first of
January next to operate its entire line
between Key West and Jacksonville
with fuel oil.
The company will establish addition
al storage tanks, holding 25,000 bar
rels each, at South Jacksonville and
New Smyrna, with small tanks at other
places.
Mexican fuel oil is being used, and
an official of the company wir.es:
“Our experience indicates a consid
erable saving in cost with other satis
factory conditions not available with
coal."
The operation of this system by oil
will completely do away with cinders
smoke, and it will doubtless stim
(HTulate other roads in other parts of the
South to experiment with oil as fuel.
The news in regard to industrial un.
di rtakings of large magnitude and the
a iditions to established plants coming
from all parts of the South continue to
a most encouraging degree. From
some of the important items reported
in this week’s Manufacturers Record

English Are
Wearing ’Em
LONDON, March 21.- —The English
people are beginning to believe that
they are wearing shoes made of Ger
man leather through the fact that
many of their shoes are imported from
Switzerland where the manufacturers
are known to use large quantities of
German leather. Their suspicions were
recently confirmed by the fact that
British imports of shoes from Switz
erland during February were nearly
double those of the corresponding
period in 1914. Information was given
in the House of Parliament recently
that the use of German leather to the
extent of 25 per cent in shoes imported
from Switzerland is permissable.
AMERICAN SAILOR
HONORED FIR ■
ST. GEORGE’S, Bermuda Islands, |
March 21. —Many Bermudians, and
Americans who temporarily make their
homes in these Islands, made a pilg
rimmage on Washington’s Birthday to !
! the grave of Rochard Sutherland Dale,,
■ a midshipman of the United States
Navy who died here from wounds re
ceived in the battle between the Amer
ican frigate President and British
naval vessels mor.e than a hundred
years ago. In the quaint cld burying
ground around St. Peter’s Church here
a large number of people gathered and
deposited floral tributes on the grave
of the plucky midshipman.
Dale sailed with Commodare Decatur
in the frigate President when that not
ed commander left the remainder of
his squadron, the Peacock, the Hornet
and the storeship Tom Bowline, at
New York to escape the British block
ade . His vessel having grounded while
going to sea, Commodore Decatur de
cided, after proceeding some distance,
to return to port for repairs. On his
way he fell in with a squadron of four
British frigates on January 15,1815. A
trriflfic engagement followed in which
the President badly cut up the British
frigate Endymion, forcing her to re
tire. The other three British frigates,
the Majestic, the Pomoe and the Tene
dcs, surrounded the President and
finally forced her to surrender, but
not until 25 of her men had been killed
and 60 wounded. They were one-quar
ter of the President’s crew.
The President was brought by her
capitors to Bermuda and the wounded
landed at this port. Midshipman Dale
lost a leg in the battle. He died at
Stennett'a Hotel here on Thursday,
February 23, 1815. In announcing his
death the Bermuda Royal Gazette said:
“This young gentleman was severely
wounded in the late engagement and
though sanguine hopes were at first
entertained for his recovery, he has
fallen another victim to this unnatural
war, unspeakably lamented by his
brother officers and deeply regretted
byall here who witnessed his exempl
ary behavior and patience under his
sufferings.’’

IHE AMth«
INDUSTRY HEllffl
IN FRANCE »N Wtfi
PARIS, March 21. —Official figures
just given out by the Department of
Labor Inspection show a revival of in
dustry and a decrease in the number of
idle workmen in France. More than
half of the industrial and commercial
establishments of the country closed at
the beginning of the war, when an av
erage of twenty-four per cent of tfhe
workmen were called to the colors.
Forty-two per cent were thrown out of
employment by the closing of the es
tablishments, leaving only thirty-four
per cent continuing to earn their wage.
In about 50,000 establishments in
spected, 1,700,000 workmen were em
ployed in time of peace. The figures
fell to one-third of that number in
August, 1914, then increased progress
ively to 1,300,000 in January of this
/year, which is seventy-five per cent, of
Jhe normal. Taking, into account the
twenty-four per cent mobilized, there
are actually employed now in French
industries one per cent more of work
men htan before the war.
These figures would seem incompat
ible with the fact that many industries
are still closed, but it is explained that
though building industries and a few
others have less work since the war
began, other industries have more.
It cost the government 3,784,000
francs to support idle workmen in
Paris alone during the second half of
January, 1915. In the second half of
January 1915 this allowance had fallen
to 1,524,000 francs. In some other
cities the number of people out of em
ployment has been reduced to ten per
cent.
Excepting among such employes as
garment workers in Paris and kindred
industries, all wages are higher, ac
cording to the official figures.

MURRAY’S PHARMACY
German Folks
Raise Prices
On Cigars
HAMBURG, Germany, March 21.
Manufacturers and retailers have in
creased the price of cigars because of
the further rise in Dutch exchange.
The cigar that formerly retailed for 15
pfennigs, is sold today for 16, and the
more expensive grades the advance is
greater.
The German tobacco market, of
which Hamburg is the center, had
larg<? supplies of tobacco on hand when
the war began, but these were used up
about a year ago and since then Ger
many has been obliged to depend
chiefly upon such tabacco as came in
from Holland. In addition to the in
crease caused by the rise in Dutch ex
change, there may be still further ad
vances because there is talk of a
highei- tax upon tobacco in all forms.

Sparkling and vivacious—merry,'
bright, alert—a good clear skin and
a natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. If
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands ot'
sickly, anaemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy com
piexions; instead of the multitudes of
"nerve wrecks,” “rundowns,” “brain
fags” and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy- cheek
ed people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre
vious day’s indigestible waste, sour
fermentations and poisons, thus
celansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bil
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phasphate at the drug store which
will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient
t"> demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
ance, amaiting those who practice in
trnal sanitation. We must remember
that inside cleanliness is more im
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con
taminate the blood while the pores in
the thirty feet of bowels do.
