It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us. Miss Susan Peigntel, McCon nellsburg, says: "I was in poor health for some time and I be lieve that weak kidneys caused the trouble. I suffered greatly from severe paina in my back, which often darted into my head. I often became dizzy and had chills. I was losing strength and felt poorly in every way. Doan's Kidney Pills produced at Trout's Drug Store, brought me quick relief." (Statement given November 5, 1907 ) Over six years later, Miss Peigbtel said: "Whenever I need a backache or kidney medicine, I use Doan's Kidney Pills. They relieve me.' Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply attic for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Miss Peig to tal has twice publicly recom mended Foster Miiburn-Co, Props., Buffilo. N Y. Advertisement. HIDES. Fran k B.

One of the most significant of actlv ttlet of the pawing day is that to make alesmanshlp a profession rather than "calling." The salesman bna been for long years a figure la story and song. Be has been In some degree an Impulse; In larger degree a growth. The mysterle of the great depnrtment marts have given birth to men of of fairs In the matter of selling, snys Pittsburgh Dispatch. The traveling salesman, with a personollty which op pouts and Insinuates, revolutionizing at enormous expense older methods, With all this salesmanship has never been reduced to the condition of an exact science. The Carnegie Technical Institute some time ago took this vital question In hand, and Professor Eam merschlag, as reported specially for the Dispatch, at the national conven tion of Life Underwriters, assembling at St. Louis recently, emphasised this Importance of the fine art of salesman ship, not as a trade to be "picked op." but as a profession to be acquired only by study as faithful as the man or woman of letters would give to lingu istic attainments or rhetoric. The American Is a doer ot things practical. Poet and novelists rhyme and scheme at their ewn risk. The real American Is a man who buys and sells with urgent certitude. Britons were one day sneered at as a "nation of shop keepers." Do you know about the new sys tem of supporting fences? The old method of placing heavy, rigid posts every few feet has been demonstrated to be wrong In principle. The new system of supporting fences Is to make them on the principle of a fiddle string. Too know, a fiddle string Is fastened at each end, soys Farm Machinery. Anything that hits It at any point pro duces stresses In the string, that are transmitted to the terminals. The new fences are built In the same way. Two solid terminals are built, 40 rods apart Between these the wire Is stretched tightly, but It will sag be cause the distance between terminals Is so long. So It Is held up from the ground -by thin, flexible steel supports that are anchored 18 Inches below the surface of the ground. -With these bow-string fences, when a sudden shock comes on the fencing wire, such, for example, as a bull charging the fence, the flexible supports bend In an even curve from their point of anchor age, their knifelike edges cutting the ground and cushioning against the earth. The fencing wire acts exactly as though1 the flexible supports were not there, In taking care of the shock. It Is transmitted directly to the end terminals, which are made amply trong to resist them. Probably the reason for examining new reading matter and reading It too backward, Is to be found In this: There la so much being offered nowadays In the way of stories and articles on a thousand and one sub jects that the roan who values his time cannot be Inveigled Into giving them all a careful perusal. So, In self-protection, to avoid being left on anything of real. Importance, be tiikes a look at the concluding para graphs to see whnt the writer Is reol ly talking about; then, If he finds the author bus a message be be gins at the beginning and reads through. Your critical reader knows that many a prolific word purveyor and there are some who are just that takes a few hundred words to get Into his subject, that there Is a certain amount of lost time In al most every lengthy magazine story. The message Is oftenest toward the end. The , noted correal .indent Karl von Wlegand wires from Berlin that Count Zeppelin and Professor chuette are Intense rivals In attempting to build an "air cruiser" that can sail front Ger many to America with as little trou ble as the Deutschlnnd experienced In marine travels. German scientific Ingenuity may achieve the remarkable feat It has our utmost admiration, says Syracuse Journal. The Zep pelin Is striking testimony of what the constructive genius of the country amounts to; the "Schuette-Lnnz" air ship Is the most modern of aerial dreadnoughts. Who Is so daring as to prophesy that what these eminent engineers undertake seriously cannot be accomplished? As a result of the obsence of many of the white men of that country In the trenches of Europe, elephants are reappearing In great numbers In Rho desia, South Africa. Those familiar with conditions there nre sure that If the war continues a few years long er there will be plenty of big game all over Africa, and elephant hunt ing will again become the vogue. Ton have heard of the "motor car face," that grim-mouthed, half terrified' look which nervous drivers acquire, and of the "motor car air," the pitying attitude of those who ride toward those who walk. But have you heard of the "motor car appetite?" Well, It'a a thing that's troubling physicians. This appetite ts developed from rid ing In the sharp air. It has an artifi cial edge on It, since It Is not born of exercise. People gorge themselves when they ought rather to be putting on the brakes. They haven't earned the great meal they eat. Digestion rebels. The doctor Is visited. lie knows the signs. "Eat a tot, I suppose?" he says. "Ride In a motorcar?" "Never walk If you can help It?" Justification enough for Intestinal civil war.

It would be a good thing for people of this favored land to take tta In ventory of what goes Into, the gar bage cau, according to the American bankers' association, which In a talk on thrift bewails the waste of food. It charges that a good many people play with their dinner, sending choice cuts of meat and fowl back to the kitchen and from there, presumably, to the garbage. There Is cited the experi ence of a large country hotel, which few years ago lost a herd of 300 hogs from feeding "swell swill," good food too rich for their systems. Con clusively, It quotes Dr. Harvey V. Wiley, who seems to hove estimated that the annual waste of food In this country Is $1, 300,000,000 a rather large figure even for one so expert la chalking down large figures as Is Doc tor Wiley. That this Is a pretty waste ful country cannot perhaps be refuted, unless the attitude of some economists Is accepted end It Is argued that waste Is normal, since nature herself Isainas- Ibgly wasteful. Families that have cherry tree In the back yard have observes that the uncultured robin Is WAKteful child of nature, eating an eighth of a cherry and, then passing to another, thus permitting seven-eighths of the fruit to go to the "garbage can." Secretary .Redfleld declares thnt more thon onethlrd of the paper con sumed In" fh'e United Stntes, which amounts to 20.000 tons dally, goes to waste. He thinks that a good deal of poper Is wasted In wrapping pack ages more elaborately than Is needed, and thnt wrappings should not at once be discarded and burned, but be used over and over, and finally saved for pnpor collectors." It Is easier to preach economy than to got Americans to practice It. LIQUID LINGUIST We are so glnd those government calculators have It flzured out thnt the population of continental United States Is 102.82(1,301). flint seems to be so much innro exact and positive than though they had put It at 102, 000.000 or even 102.820,000. Jnpnnese Investors are putting lots of money In American securities, which ! shows that they are not only as.lins long been known an Imliiitlve people, but thnt they know a good thing when they see It.

SHOPS AND PLANTS FAVOH INDUSTRIAL BETTERMENT WORK Actively Aid Welfare Plans of ' Ever; Dascrlpticn Fcr Employees, - PHILANTHROPY NOT INTENT. Comfort and Contentment of the Workers Considered Paramount nundrcds of millions of dollars bare been expended during the past decade by American manufacturers for those forms of Industrial betterment. In be half of employees, that are generally classed as philanthropic or beyond the mere requirements of laws and con tracts. Decent manufacturers and they are In the vast majority as are the decent people of other classes are opposed to grinding child labor, and they strive to pay a living wage to all of their em ployees. They go much farther than that, as a study of American Industry will show. They devote time, money and effort to provldo every possible supplementary means for promoting the convenience, the effort, the health, contentment and happiness of their workers and of the families of employees. Very few manufacturers consider such work or cxicudlture to be philanthropy, but, rather, a ncces nary featuro of their business. While their motives may be as altruistic as those of tho averago of mankind, they find that it Is good, from tbo business point of view, to promote as fur as possible the welfare of their employees. Industrial betterment pays. Industrial betterment means an at tempt to provide the best kind of work ing and living conditions, and It Im plies tho co-ocratlve responsibility of the wage earner and the employer In 'urlu.lnn tliONo conditions about and In Improving (hem from time to time. It 1 not a dole to be blinded to tho wage earner, hut Is a token of that Spirit of mutuality which, under right condi tions) should permeate Industry.
