And that just expresses it. are not sick enough to go to bed. You can eat, you can sleep, you can work. But you don’'t work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep is restful, and you don’t enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get the best of you. Things ?bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see dif- ficulties where there really are none, and not having enough troubles of your own, you \borrow some. Of course, to a casual observer, you seem the same, because you are try- ing to control yourself. And if you should tell a friend, or go to an in- experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your- self. You somctimes think they are right and try to brace up and be bright and cheerful. But then your old feeling will come back with re- newed vigor. You begin to wonder if it really. is your mind only. And it It is so, is it the first step to insan- ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor- turing you; to fight them down, to appear happy, but in vain. You find yourself in the grip of an invisible power: that seems to sap your life blood. And You not Trifles worry you, 3 when you feel your strength energy and power slipping away from | you, when you find you can’t do jus- tice to your work any longer, then you become despondent and might even feel tempted to end it all. You are very much in the same condition as a delicately constructed ; engine, which has not been cared for | right. Put it in the hands of an ex- perienced man and he will soon have it in fine working order. But trying your own hand at it, or turn it over to an unskilled person, and it will soon be fit for the scrap heap. Let me save you from , heap! DR. CLINTON J.

Locomotives Meet Caravans From Interior of Asia v ington, June 1.—West East are meeting daily in the Orient, where American-built connect at Kalgan on the border of Mongolia with caravans from the far- interior of Asia. Steel rails have broken the artificial boundary of the Great Wall of China, | which remains only as a relic of the past, while long trains go puffing through a tunnel underneath, bearing to the sea priceless furs, rugs, wool and turquoise, and to the interior the manufactured products of the United States and other fareign nations. The story of railroad development in the Orient and the possibilities open there to American enterpris are set forth in a series of reports to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce by Frank Rhea, formerly connected with the Pennsylvania rail- road and the General Electric com- who recently returned from a as special agent through China, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand and Australia. In all China there are only 6,500 miles of railroad, of which 3,800 miles are Chinese government lines. Most of the railroad development has been in north and central China. All ex- cept one of the government lines are American type, of the standard four feet, eight and one-half inch gauge, and on the line to Kalgan which pierces farther into the interior than any otner, 60 of the 66 locomotives are American-made. Giant Mallet compound engines, each with a trac- tive effort of 88,000 pounds, parallel the Great Wall to Ching-Lung-Chiao, then pass beneath it until they meel the east-bound caravans of camels, gaily caparisoned Mongol horses and the queer camel-drawn carts of Mon- golia at Kalgan, which is one of the strangest and greatest markets of the world. Japan has about 6,000 miles of railroad which cost $90,000 a mile to uild through the steep mountains of Nippon. All of it is owned and organized on a military basis, like the German roads, each employe having distinct rank and be- ing responsible to his superiors like a soldier. Many electric lines are be- ing built in Japan. Locomotives and electrical equipment have been pur- chased from the United States, but freight and@ passenger cars have been bought largely in England or built at home, because the roads are of three’ feet six inch gauge. The Japanese government is considering widening the railroads to standard gauge as a military measure at a cost equal to the original construction. In the Philippines American equip- ment has been used except on the Is- land of Luzon, where the railroads were built by British capital. All the roads are organized on the English system. In the hill country of the is- lands where official society spends the hot season American motor busses are used. Australia and New Zealand have fol- lowed their mother country in build- ing railroads. A peculiar feature of the Australian roads is that, in the total of 24,000 miles, there are three different gauges, and in only one in- stance do any two states have con- necting lines of the same gauge. A traveler from Brisbane to Perth must change cars eight times. The disadvantage of different track widths in the Orient was strikingly il- lustrated when there was talk of Jap- an undertaking operations against the Germans in Russia. In discussing plans it was brought out that the railroad from Port Arthur to Dairen which the Japanese forces probably would use to reach Chang Chun, the connecting point with the trans-con- tinental line, is five feet three inches wide. Trains cannot be transferred from one line to the other and in any operations there would be much loss of time in unloading and loading equipment. Great difficulty also was experienced adapting for American use loco- POST ARPET CO. 219 Asylum Street, HARTFORD. in COOLING Matiings JSE AND JAPANESE AND SANITARY!

The Chinese roads earn about $15,000 gold per mile, as much as the American roads, which they are enabled to do through greater efficiency in handling their meager amount of rolling stock. The cycle of use of freight cars is about six da as compared with 15 days in Americ: Demurrage is fixed at $10 for every 12 hours of daylight, so there is no delay in unloading. Japan in the future probably will be mare of a competitor than a customer of the United States, owing to the tre- mendous industrial expansion in prog- ress there.
