HEltEu Ink CHIEF.
How q Loyal Engineer Did His Brother
Great Service.

Meadville, Pa, Nov. 2.-(SpeciaD-
The Loyalty Of the Members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
is proverbial. A circumstance occur
red in this city some days ago. which
emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller. is Chief Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng neers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men, and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out OF Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made q short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, 1t
caused great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to LAY on"
on account of his back. A brother OF
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before. and who
had been pulled through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in brotherly way,
took with him box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used. he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains. and at times I'M
able to work. l tried several OF the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally.
a member of our Order. who had been
cured Of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me a box. and
asked me to try them / had little
faith in them, but as a drowning man
grasps at straw to help him. so
took the Pills. | used seven boxes,
and am today as well and strong
man as there is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother, who
feels that he was instrumental in saw
ing the life of the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.

srvALvE.s ENEMY.
Curious Way . starHsh Devours an
Oyster.


The oyster when at home lives In
hard lime shell which nicely pro-
tects him from the attacks Of enemies.
Man, with his tools, can open the shell
and remove the soft animal. but be7
sides man the oyster has few foes.
Oddly enough, his greatest foe Is not
as might be expected. an animal with
a powerful jaw and strong teeth' put
one wholly without jaws. 1t Is Una
common starfish, so common every
where at the seashore. Now, the star
fish is soft, flexible creature, very
Sluggish, seemingly helpless and ut'
terly unable to attack such an animal
as the oyster. Its mouth, which II
the center Of the disk, has no teeth
or jaws. How can such a helpless
creature open the formidable oystei
she'll and get at the animal concealed,
within? Its method of doing so II
odd enough. 1t first clasps the oystet
in its arms, wrapping its five arm'l
around the shell tightly. Having thus
seized the oyster, 1t quietly waits. JUS
exactly what happens next even our
scientists do not exactly know. The
two shells of the oyster are held to-
gether by hinge which is opened by
spring. The spring is so adjusted
that the shells will be pushed open
unless they are held together by the
muscles. Some scientists tell us that
after the starfish has held the oyster
for awhile the oyster opens its shell
in order to get food, and the starfish
that has been waiting for this now In
iects into the shell a little reddish
liquid. This acts as poison, says IL.
U. Conn, in St. Nicholas, paralyzing
the muscles and thus making 1t i'm
possible for the animal to close its
ehells tightly together until the oyster
IS smothered. AS soon as 1t is stupe-
fed by the suffocation the muscles re-
lax and the shell opens. Whichever
of these two accounts Is true 1t Is
certain that after little the oyster
shells fly open. Now comes the oldest
feature OF all. The stomach OF the
utarfish Is very large and elastic, and
It Is now thrown out Of the animals
mouth much as one would turn a bag
inside cut. This stomach is then
thrust within the oyster shell and
wrapped around the soft animal. be-
ginning at once to digest 1t. The
starfish does not take the trouble even
to remove the oyster from its shell,
digesting 1t in its own home AID event.

during my four trips. They got on at
different points along the line, prin-
cipally in the southeastern section,
and made the trips from Highland
town to Roland Park. 1t was comical
to see them perched in the corner of
a seat, snoozing away. One fellow

A CLEAN SHAVE.
The Sanitary Barber Il Next on th'
List

Aho cahtsry - 3Sc4t oh NV
The question of strict regulations
for barber shops has received much
attention by sanitarians, but only in
few instances have the health au-
thorities had the moral courage to
adopt and enforce rules which must
of necessity meet with great opposi-
ton, and in many instances bring
iridicule upon those who promulgated
them. In fact, remarks the Phlladel-
phia Medical Journal. even the medi-
cal profession. represented in the
Americal Health Association. is not
averse to enjoy little tilt at the ex-
pense of one of its members who per-
ennially hammers away at this subject
with commendable persistency. Bar
bars and hairdressers are public ne
cessities. and the public has right to
insist that their work be performed
according to sanitary principles. Any
one who patronizes barber whose
establishment is open to all corners
runs great risk of becoming infected
Will ulocdScS rum thO
brush, scissors, clippers, comb or hair
brush having been used previously on
sick or convalescent person, espe-
cially those suffering from diseases of
the skin or scalp. BARRIERS and hair
dressers should be required to wash
their hands with soap and use a nail
brush Immediately after attending to
a customer; the razor. clipper or scls-
sors should be dipped in boiling water
or disinfecting solution. while the
use of the shaving brush should be
entirely abolished and wads of wood
cotton substituted. To the general
practitioner the necessity of such re-
strictions is self-evident. but the gen.
eral public needs instruction. Such
instruction. however. Is slow and in
effective unless obligatory rules are
enacted, making 1t sort OF compul-
sorry education. 1t Is stated by a med
ieal authority who has made this sub
1ect one OF his life objects that he
once treated man who was covered
with specific eruptions. and that the
patient went from the doctors Office
directly to the barber. As this also
happened to be the doc RS barber the
lightning struck home.

WOODEN SHOES.
Foreign Footwear Il Much In Demand
for Certain Vacations.

The person who limits the use OF
the wooden shoe, in his mind, to the
native of Holland and the Dutch
comedian would be greatly surprised il
he could appreciate to what extent the
foreign footwear is used in the United
States. Especially is this the case
when the larger cities are considered.
Surrounding Chicago, for instance, are
many farms which are worked by i'm
migrants from the Netherlands, where
the shoes are immensely popular in
the wet and swampy parts of the coun-
try. owing to their imperviousness
to water. Both men and women find
employment tilling the soil. planting,
wedding and doing all the other little
stunts which fill the markets with po-
tatoes and cabbages and such things.
They have been used to wearing wood
en- shoes In the old country. They
cannot get accustomed to the leather
shoes. They don't want to get accus-
toned to them, in fact. They would
rather slip on the sabots, in which
they can splash through mud and
water If need be without danger of
wet feet. Not all wearers of the wood
en- shoe are to be found in the fields,
however. Men in a few odd vacations
have discovered that the old wooden
shoes are better for some purposes
than their more pretentious cousins OF
calf or cowhide. In work which keeps
man in very hot place. such as
stocking in a big furnace room, the
wooden shoes are said to be far pref
cradle to leather foot coverings. Not
only are they easier on the feet, but
they do not dry up and crack and
wither away in the heat as the shoes
from the American factories do. Wood
is slow conductor Of heat, compared
with leather, and the excessive thick
ness of the wooden soles allows the
stokers who wear them to stand and
hand could scarce be borne upon it,
and yet their feet do not feel the ex-
cessive heat In slaughter houses, too
where the floors are slippery and Shiny
with blood, the wooden shoes are APP
preciated. Leather shoes rot very
rapidly and in day or 50 the blood
and moisture seeps through their
seams and makes things unpleasant
and unhealthy. The wooden shoes are
SO heavy and thick that 1t would take
year for the stuff to wet them
through, and so the wise butchers
wear them.
