GREEN OLD AGE

Assured by the Occasional Use of

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

To reach a green old age and enjoy good health can only be obtained by the care of the system. It is from the little irregularities of the system that the common ailments arise, and nature gives many indications of the approach of these coraplaints which, if treated at once, may be warded off. Growing old It ought not to mean growing weak and feeble. does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with a good appetite, and sound digestion. It is of the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food, which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings feebleness, it is generally because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those in declining years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and who need a mild yet searching remedy to keep their system in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

It may be further noted here in 're- ference to the harbour, its entrance and navigable channels, that they are opon to traffic by day and night, being furnished with the most up-to-date systems of lighting and buoying. Small wonder then that it now holds the seventh place among the thirty-six maritime customs officca.

Given a good harbour and vast hinterland connected by railway, poor indeed must be the resources, natural and otherwise, of n country if the possen- sion of such a commercial wedge does not produce great wealth to the nation possessing it. In the Shantung railway Germany controls a vein along which hor own and Chinese trade is beginning to pulsate. In spite of enormous difficulties due to unfavourable geographical features in the shape of rocky hills and general irregularity of the ground, and partly to the unrest during 1889 and 1900, the railway was constructed to Kinochau (74 kilometres) by the spring of 1001, (and to Weihsien. (184 kilometres) a year after wards; in 1903 it had reached Techtien |(256 kilometres), and on June 1, 1904,

ran into Teinanfu (385 kilometres), the capital of Shantung. Thus the vast coal- fields of Weihsten were joined to the coast, and the same year saw the com- pletion of a branch line to Poseban, another important coalfield. The com- pany may for the first ten years fix its own rates; after this period the Govern- rcut reserves to itself the decision of maximum coal freighting rates.

The company has been able to pay a dividend, of 4 per cent. for some years. When a certain limit has been reached the Gov- ernment shares in the profits and spends. them for the benefit of the Protectorate. By means of the Tientsin-Pakau railway, which passes through Tsinanfu, tho Shan- tung railway will soon form a branch of this vast trans-Chinese trunk line, and Tsingtau will be connected with Peking in the north, establishing direct rail com- munication with Germany and Europe; while to the south connection will be stablished with the Yangtse. A glance at a "big map" will show that it would require a very fortile imagination to even sttempt to guess at the enormous pros- pects which will soon be opened up for Germany's "Stützpunkt” in China.

Ex-

The Shanturig railway possesses clusive mining and other rights 15- kilometres on each side of the rail, not only to Tsinanfu bat to Itschoufu in the south of Shantung (on completion of the railway). The plan is to connect this latter town with Tsingtau and Tsinanfu; in this way the province will be traversed by a vast triangular railway from east to west, from north to the south-west, and again from the south towards the north-west. The primary object in run- ning a line to Itschoufu in future is to tap the coal and iron-fields in the vicinity of which von Richthofen reports most favourably. As the whole of the northern. section of the Tientsin-Pukau railway is being built by German engineers, and most of the material employed comes from Germany, the proât to the Empire is | considerable. The annual number of passengers carried is in round figures 800,000, and the same number of tons freight. These figures are of course | rapidly increasing.

In connection with the Railway Co., is: the Shantung Mining Co., which was founded to work the minerals of Shan- tung. After extensive investigations, based on scientific calculation, Baron von Richthofen writes, "We may expect that the coalfields of Shantung, as 8000 the are opened for mining and connected with Kiaochau by rail, will be destined to produce a large share of the coal supply of East Asia. Poschan coal" is particularly well adapted for modern steamship purposes; for this reason the German East Asiatic squadron contracts for this coal. Weihgien coal is better fitted for house and factory purposes. Both qualities have gained a firm foot- ing in the Shanghai market.

Where the German is, the schoolmaster is abroad. The German school had 162 pupils on July 1st, 1911; of these twenty passed the one year volunteer examina- tion," which entitles them to serve one year in the army instead of two or three; from this category officers are recruited. Residents serve in the garrison under the same conditions obtaining in the Home, country. The Kiaochau garrison, be it noted, is very popular in Germany, and many well-to-do young men go out there from Germany to serve, and become acquainted with the Far East. A German-Chinese High School was opened in October, 1909. Medicine, law, agricul- ture, technical subjects, and forestry are. taught, as well as all subjects of the German gymnasia. In fact instruction is given in everything that forms the subject of instruction in Germany. This means that Tsingtau will soon be turning, out her own lawyers, doctors, engineers, foresters, etc.

But perhaps the greatest work the Gor- mans are doing is afforestation. Starting in the very streets of Tsingtan, which are now planted with pleasant trees, sur- rounding the neat villas and massive public buildings with parks and shady gardens, the green health and moisture- bringing woods are spreading over the neighbourhood and into the hinterland. Those who have been to Chinn know how the Chinese have sinned in their irrational destruction of forests, and can appreciate the educational value to the country of Germany's afforestation policy which is in fact turning the once treeless and nude Protectorate territory into a pleasantly wooded country. But ornament takes a second place, utility the first. The woods already supply the mines, with an ever-

trees, the wood of which will finally bel employed in the mines. Nor is the work of afforestation limited to timber trees, but extends to the planting of orchards. There is little to remind one in Tsing- tau that one is not in some thriving Gorman coastal town. The streets are lighted by electricity and are mac- adamised, many are lined with trees. All the public buildings are of stone, the houses of brick, and built with a view to architectural harmony; hospitals, post-offices and market-hall, all bear the stamp of order, neatness and prosperity, and the town and its neighbourhood from which fine roads lead to the interior are an eloquent example to the Chinese, and an object lesson by which the country is bound to profit. Of course where the rocks are bare on the surface (and such is often the case throughout the Shan- tung peninsula) afforestation is im possible, and road-making laborious and expensive But the fertility of the valloys, plains, and country between the ranges weighs well in the scales against much that is inhospitable in the immediate neighbourhood of the town.

The Government of the Protectorato lies) in the hands of an active naval officer assisted by the heads of the various administrativo departments, forming a council, and four members of the civil population, one of whom may be a native of China. Finally, should the necessity ever arrive, Tsingtan could be made into an impregnable fortress of the first order. for which, indeed, nature seems to have. destined it.

Coughs and Lung Troubles

Angier's Emulsion has been prescribed by the medical profcasion and used in the hospitals for the last twenty years and is now unti- versally recognised as the standard approved remedy for coughs, bronchitis, asthma, consumption and all forms of lung trouble. It is superior to other lung remedies because of its greater soothing and healing powers, in combination with exceptional tosic and strengthen- qualities. Angier's Emulsion is soothing alike to throat, lungs, stomach and intestines, and it has a most invigorating influence upon the general health. It is pleasant to take, pgrees perfectly with delicato stomachs, and iraproves appetite and digestion.
