your feet and change your clothing.
Use a little extra care to protect your
belly from getting chilled; it may save
you some annoying attacks of cramps

One of the most important rales of

Moscow, Aug. 22.—John F. Stevens
and his associates on the American
railway commission now visiting Rus-
sia for the purpose of assisting the ad-
ministration of the Russian railways
in increasing their efficiency, have
discovered many ways in which trans-
portation may be speeded up on all
Russian lines without additional equip-
ment.
The commission has advised the
United States government to supply
Russia with 2,500 more locomotives
and 40,000 more freight cars as soon
as possible. However, it will be con-
siderable time before this rolling
stock can be manufactured and ship-

Havana. Aug. 22.—At the presiden-

William Gonzales, United States min-
ister to Cuba, President Menocal sign-
ed a decree transferring to the Upitadl
States government four large German

tonnage of approximately 20,000 toam
seized as prizes of war by Cuban gov-

clared against Germany.
The Kadonia, the fifth and smallest

Minister Gonzales when asked ,
