THE MACHINERY DOCTOR.
He Is Ready Like the Curer of HUI
man Ills to BE Called at
Any Hour.

On the window of a downtown ma
chine shop appears this sign: Lathe
work, day or night" Itmeans that the
shop is ready for any sort of work at
any hour-ready to make repairs in
case of emergency. There are now
perhaps half dozen such concerns in
the city that hold themselves in readi-
ness to make machinery repairs at any
hour in the "a, says the New York Sun.
There are in the city many manu-
featuring establishments, great and
small, running night as well as day.
Some of these establishments employ
their own machinists and make their
own repairs, and some do not. If ma
chinery breaks down in the latter they
send to the emergency repair shop.
and in these days they can get the work
done at once. The night work costs
double, but it might be greater loss to
let the machines lie idle.
These repair shops have not only
power and equipment, so that they can
do any sort of shop work at any hour.
but they keep on hand all sorts of
parts that might be required in any of
the repairs they are likely to be called
upon to make. Their homes have their
telephone numbers, and in case of need,
at any hour, they call up the shop or the
home of the boss. At either place there
is kept roster of the men belonging
to the shop who can be called upon and
quickly reached, and in very short or
der the men required for the job are
on their way in answer to the call.
The physician has, at all times, been
ready to answer calls. The drug store
night bell is familiar, and, in these
days, there are many drug stores that
are open day and night. A modern night
bell is that of the plumber, who keeps
a man in his shopto answer night calls,
or posts his night address there. In
one place in this city, down on the wa
ter front, you will find the night bell of
a wrecking company, where a relieving
outfit can be summoned into prompt
action.
Newest among these emergency
workers who may be summoned atany
hour is the machinery doctor, who, like
the curer of human ills, can be called
up at any hour, day or night, to cure
aiing machinery.

BIG FIGHT BEGUN.
MovemeEf Started by Retail GrOcers
to Boycott Goods Sold in De-
partment Stores.

Milwaukee, May ia commercial
war which, it is said, will extend
throughout the country, has been
started by the grocers of this city
against manufacturers who allow
their goods to be sold or demonstrated
in department. stores. The Retail Gro
GERS association of Milwaukee, men,
Der of the national association, has
passed resolutions not to handle prod
ucts of manufacturers that are placed
in department. stores.
Henry w. Schwab, president of the
Milwaukee Retail Grocers' association,
says the action is the beginning of an
open warfare against department
stores of the country that enter into
competition with the retail grocers by
conducting grocery departments. He
predicts that the action of Milwaukee
grocers will be followed by every one
of the Al states in which the national
association has branches.

THERE IS A DUMB HOUR.
In Every Life the Time Must Como
When the Problem of Death
Is UppermOst

To every man death cometh soon
or late. In every ife's day there is
dumb hour. 1t may be in the mo-
ments of dawn or when the vitaliz-
ing energy is at noon, though some
times it comes not till the chill and
dark of midnight has fallen. There is
no more pathetic and yet irresistibly
attractive subject for the serious stu
dent of medicine than the investiga-
ton of the mysteries of that process
of physical dissolution which men
speak of as dying, says the Hospital.
And yet there is so personal an in
terest in the quest that only the
bravest minds can grapple undis-
mayed in a research into the prob
lens of death.
We may learn much by reference
to animal instincts in this as in so
many other matters. Mr. William j.
Long, in his recently issued and most
charming volume, school of the
Woods: Some Life Studies of Animal
Instincts and Animal Training" al
tempts to reveal something of the
mystery and pathos of the dumb
hour as seen in the dumb beast. In
his study on How the Animal Dies"
he shows that life's curtain is usu-
ally rung down quietly, the foot
lights are turned out gradually, the
auditorium is emptied silently, the
darkness deepens peacefully. The
animal feels the oncoming of the
shadow and creeps into the deepest
coverts. The unnumbered multi
tudes choose their own place and
close their eyes for the last time as
peacefully as ever they lay down to
Sleep "The vast majority of ami
mails go away quietly when that time
comes; and their death Is not re-
corded because man has eyes only for
exceptions. Something calls the crea-
ture from his daily round; age or
natural disease touches him gently
in a way that he has not felt before
He steals away, obeying the old
warning instinct of his kind, and
picks out a spot where they shall not
find him till he is well again.
Man thinks himself a little lower
than the angels, and it may be so,
but of this we may be sure, there Is
that in the dumb hour which marks
the kinship of man with the uncom-
planning animal submissive to the de-
cree of nature, and noble in it's obedi-
ence to the call of the voice that
silences all other voices.

INFLUENZA is always more or less
prevalent at this season of the vear.
This disease IS very similar TO severe
cold and if allowed to take its course
is liable to cause serious results. The
best treatment for influenza is to avoid
exposure and take Lnamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This medicine gives imme-

ward off all dangerous consequences.
