ern retailers naturally seek a repre-

factuFer to supply their wants. and
1t Is small wonder that when their

Of their daily business to keep in
touch with the up-to-date needs OF the

This fact, taken together with the fact
that MeKibbin quality is staple and

7 IS truism that life on a warship
during a cruise is largely what the
captain makes it His treatment of his
officers and crew is what renders q
stay Of three years comfortable or I'M
comfortable. a torment or a pleasure
To realize what the influence OF the
captain is in the navy, one has sim
ply to read what Medical Inspector H.
E. Ames. of the navy, has to say in a
paper which has just been published
by the naval institute. He describes
three cruises that he made. at inter-
walls of eight years. and he mentions
the incidents of the cruises TO show
what improvements have been made
in the treatment OF our sailors.
The first cruise was on a. black ship.
DR. AInes does not mention names He
says the rules and regulations were
carried out TO the letter.
The vessel was ataut from truck to
keel. She would have impressed any
one not attached to her as model.
Her appearance was yacht1ike and she
was delightfully."- fitted out for the COM
fort of officers and men.
Yet she was an unhappy ship, be-
| cause she was ruled with q rod OF
steel The men received no consider
alton from the captain and the officers
were treated in nearly the same fash
ion-all work and no play.
Describing the situation on the yes
sci, DR.. AInes says:
There was no Joyous laughter ever
heard within her somber hull: there
was no innocent skyiarking about her
decks; no music, either vocal or in
strumental, ever broke the stiffness of
the evening air, either in port or at
sea. No pets were about the ship be-
longing to the men.
The daily inspections were superb,

the crew. They were clean, they were

No religious service was ever held on

they were a discontinued lot compared
with the happy ship I had left
DR.. Anes asks what was the cause
of all this, and he answers his question

1T was simply d damnabfe applica-

FARWELL, OzMIIN,

The almost phenomenal growth of
the business now on the books of Far
well, Ozmun, Kirk & Co., since the
inception OF that business in 1853
when 1t was originally organized by
Messrs. Cherftree and FarweH Is one OF
the surprising occurrences OF St PauHs
half century as an Incorporated city.
The firm founded in 1859 has ex-
banded until today its trade extends
over dozen states OF the Union, and
even reaches up into parts of Canada.
The hardware house founded In 1858.
and located on Third street, by Messrs.
Cheritree and FarweII, was succeeded
by Farwen Bros, and that firm in time
by @. L. Farweil. In 1881 larger
store was taken, and the business
passed TO the hands of Farwell, Ozmun
& Jackson The associated partners
Of the latter firm were @. f. FarWell,
A M. Ozmun and Frederick Jackson.
This firm was dissolved IN 1886, by the
death OF Mr.. Jackson, and the firm Of
FarweI, Ozmun, Kirk & Co. was incor-
porated Jan. IL, 1887.The five ineorpora-

tributes. were lacking. In other words,
if intelligence had been used and prop
erly applied, the ship could have been
a pleasant one"
Eight years later, DIR. Anes served
on another ship and she was painted
white The ship was very like the
black one. There were the same dis
cipline and the same kind Of crew, but
there was mighty contrast between
this cruise and the one in the black
ship. Dr. Ames puts the contrast in
this way:
The cheerful voices of the men were
heard in song vibrating IN the evening
air Natural, hearty peais of laughter
would ring out as some joke was per-
petrated or some story was told
The shuttle OF feet was heard keep
ing time to music of the volunteer
band. as they whirled 10 the waltz, or
other round dance, or tried Jig or
breakdown. Even the ships dog would
give a joyous bark as ne received the
earesses of the men after performing
some simple trick he had been taught.
The pet minot bird would add to
the pleasure by giving his song. Feats
OF strength or skill in boxing were in
duiged in. Races in boats, either I'M
der sails or with oars, were permitted
on the asking.
Books were numerous and well
thumbed. Liberty was no novelty De-
seruons and inten1perance were rare.
She was happy ship. The men
were not saints, they were not ex-
actty sinners. They were simply a fine
crew Of sailormen- They drank in
moderation, their other faults or vices
were beaFabIe vile habits were sun
pressed and put down by the crew.
This comfortable life was brought
about by the thoughtful application OF
a set of rules by the captain aided by
his officers Discipline was carried out
TO the letter, but punishment was adj
mfnistered in a kindly way
There was always praise for the man
when he did well in his work The
officers and men were sorry 10 part
when the cruise ended
Eight years later DIR. AInes went on
another cruise in white ship and he
lIailcIses the word white She was
more crowded and uncomfortable than
the other two ships. but the captain
was broad minded and generous" His
officers seemed to be above the general
average The crew was only fair at
the start
At the beginning Of the cruise it was
announced that searching of the men
on their return from liberty TO find
sfnuggied liquor would not be tolerated.
Then men were put on their honor
They appreciated ii. and the few
men who broke the rule not to bring
liquor on ship We're quickly detected
and punished severely. It was noticed
that these men who had broken the
rules often appeared with sadly bruised
faces short time after they came on
board They had been punished by
the men before the ~Old Man. got after
them.
There was plenty of liberty for the
men. plenty OF freedom TO enioy them

A Pl,ysician's Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-Dodd's
Kidney Pills must not be COMPOUNDED
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are q new discovery, specific
for all diseases of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians only
nfter careful tests in extreme cases.
DR.. Leland Williamson, of this place,
heartily endorses Doud's Kidney Pills
"as II remedy for the various forms Of
Ithc diseases Of the Kidneys, pains In
thn back, soreness In the region of the
Kidneys, foul-smelling urine and
cloudy or thickened conditions of the
urine. discharges of pus or corruption,
Cont. rheumatism, Inflammation and
EGongestion of the Kidneys and all kin
lred complaints" Continuing he says:
Il could mention many cases in
which have prescribed Dodd's Kidney
Pills with success. For instance, Mr..
Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria haema-
turia or swamp fever three times, kid
neys weakened, continual pain and
soreness in back, which made him very
nervous, had little fever and some
times chilly. Urine changeable, but
generally very high-colored, an old
chronic case who had taken much med
icine with little effect. After taking
Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks
he was entirely cured and had gained
fifteen pounds in weight. The last
time l saw him he was the picture
perfect manhood."

HOW MUCH FOOD TO EAT.
Smallest Amount, According to Thl'
Rule, That Will Preserve Health,


Tho Century: How shall one deter.
mine, then, how much food to eat? Too
much mystery has been thrown about
this subject. Let your sensations de.
eide. 1t must be kept in mind that the
entire function of digestion and assimi-
lation is carried on without conscious
supervision or concurrence. 1t should
be entirely unfelt and unknown, except
ing by the feeling of bien-etre which ac-
companies and follows its normal ac..
complishment. Safety is bad. 1t imn
plies a sensation of fullness in the rel,
gion of the stomach, and that meanl
that too much food has been taken. The
exact correspondence, in a healthy
animal between the appetite and the
amount of food required is extraor-
binary. AS a rule, the meal, unless eat,
en- very slowly, should cease before tho,
appetite is entirely satisfied. Because a.
little time is required for the outlying
organs and tissues to feel the effects Of
the food that has been ingested. II too
little has been taken 1t is easy enough
to make it UP at the next meal, and the
appetite will be only the better and the
food more grateful.
No one was very sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mill
lions every day repent having eaten too
much. 1t has been said that the great
lesson homeopathy taught the world
was this: That, whereas physicians had
been in the habit of giving the patient
the largest dose he could stand, they
had been led to see that their purpose
was better subserved by giving him the
smallest dose that would produce the
desired effect. And SO it is with food.
Instead of eating as most people un-
fortunately do. as much as they can,
they should eat the smallest amount
that will keep them in good health.
