Trium2hs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things ara done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back. or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliccd; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins:
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises. burns and like In
juries before Inflammation sets In.
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third the Tins
required by the. old treatment Cham
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this sams
principle. 1t is an antiseptic and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep a bottle Of
Pain Balm in your home and 1t will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale 0y

1t isannounced that English motorists
have petitioned the government for a
road across southern England which
shall be set apart exclusively for their
own use, where they will be free from
the dangers and smells arising from
horse traffic" This proves conclusively
that the sense of humor is not wholly
dead in England. despite the frequent
and strong evidence to the contrary.
There is something rich and racy in tho
desire of the devil wagon drivers to
escape the dangers and smells arising
from horse traffic-as if anything on
the public highways could he more dan
gerous than the automobile or any
smell more offensive than the sinking
trail of gasoline which floats behind
them.

Attention is called to the fact that
while the state census in Iowa reveals
a reduction Of her population, the
count in Minnesota so far made indi-
Gates that there has been small in

but it is expected to disclose the same
drift of population from the country to
the cities as is shown by the
early returns in the Massachusetts

The Death Of Secretary Hay.

The death of no American in public
life, save President Roosevelt himself,
could have given the country such
shock and spread such world wide sor-
row, as was caused by the death Of
Secretary of State John Hay. Saturday
morning. Although the fact of his
poor health had been generally under
stood for months it was felt that he
had benefited from his trip abroad and
that his Illness at his summer home in
New Hampshire was nothing serious.
But IL appears that his condition was
more critical than the public supposed.
Perhaps the physicians were them
as a great chock to the world which
honored John Hay as one of the great
est statesmen and most successful di
plomats of his times.
John Hay was an American through
and through, one of the finest products
of oru western civilization. To his
country's service be brought ripe cul-
ture, lofty ideals and absolute integrity.
His name stands for a new era in
Amcerian diplomacy. and in the diplo-
macy of the world. Becoming secre-
tary of state in 1898. after a term as
ambassador to England and earlier di-
plomatic and consular experience in
France, Spain and Austria, he has
played a part in American affairs and
in world politics which will be felt for
good through coming generations. His
master hand has unraveled many in
ternationai tangles. and upon the foun-
dation laid by him will be built no
small part of the great structure of
Americas future greatness. With all
his long work in authorship and
statecraft he possessed so well the
secret of youth that few realized. until
reading his obituary. that he had
reached the age Of 81 years. Few men
will be missed and mourned as John
Hay will be.

most all spent with nothing to show
for it after camp in broken.
BY all means the best way is to get a
modest outfit in the very beginning.
To make an ideal camp requires
woodcraft and genius. To make
camp that shall at least be habitable
requires only common sense and lit
tie experience of wild life
The first thing to do is to find a dry
place. Almost equal to that i'm impor-
lance is to select a place that Is near
plenty Of good water preferably run
ming water. Lake water often leaves
much to be desired both in flavor and
temperature.
AS soon rs the location is selected the
AK is unpdcked and the chosen site Of
the tent cleared and levcled. Then the
tent is erected, care being taken to
drive the tent stakes into stiff soil
where they will be sure to hold, no mat
ter how hard it blows or how much the
rain nay soak TIE ground
Then the AK, truly an indispensable
camp tool. comes into play again to
break circular ditch all around the
tent. This is to catch rain water and
lead it off before it runs under the can
vas.
One man goes to gather firewood and
prepare for cooking. while the other
unpacks the canoe and arrangeS tho
canvas home. He cuts hemlock twigs,
trims them and lays them carefully in
smooth rows to serve as bedding. In
default of hemlock leaves or grass
carefully cprpah and cpvprpJ with tho
rubber blankets. Of which each camD.r
must have one, will make Il sufficiently
comfortable bed. especially as spare
clothing can be disposed here and there
to soften hard spots.
There are unfortunate men who
never can sleep in measurable comfort
on the ground or even on camp bed
But most men can sleep that way far
better than they would imagine.
And what a sleep it is.
High in the lofty green bclfry of the
pines. the wind tolls the bells of the
woods deep and slow. SiIvery. like in
breaking chimes. tinkle the clear matin
bclls-the birdcalls, as the little ones
fit into the dusky branches to sleep.
Before the camp the darklirg lake
reflects star on star. holding their light
cd images as steadily in it's unstable
poson, as if they We're set in another
heaven.
Somewhere 4 loon cries. wavering,
moIrnful, the very voice of the wild
places.
Somewhere great muskallongn
splashes at the edge Of lily pads.
From the tall trees. from the black
sky. from the star-gemmed lake. softly
and allpervading as the spicy air,
comes something mystic ari wonder full
something that fills the soul at first
with vague. unknOwing longing, till
suddenly the touch of the wilderness
takes form and 10, at once the camp is
full of men no longer, but children,
sleeping as innoccntly ad dreamlesslv
as wnen, long. long ago in forgotten
days. they slept with mothers kiss on
their lips.
Nature. the all-mother, has kissed
them and hidden them sleep in her
arms.

OkIahoma's Growing Claim.

GETTING NEW TRADE AND
HOLDING OLD CUSTOMERS.

A man goes into business
and wants trade. 1t is first
question and an ever-abiding
one, How shall | get it," He
may, if he Choose, sit down in
his office or behind his counter,
with arms folded, and wait for
it to come to him. And he will
wait. The old aphorism, "All
things come to him who waits"
does not apply in business.
The modern paraphrase of the
axiom is, An things come to
him 7oho hnstlcs." Some men
look upon advertising as lux
ury. They look at it from the
point Of cost and begrudge the
money they put into it. The
one and only true way is to
consider it as an auxiliary, re-
liable and necessary.
1T is not a merccndry, bit a
part of the business itself.
AS it is true that he who de-
sires trade must seek for it, so
it is equally true that the field
of advertising is the one in
which to find the desired pearl
of success.
1t is not a luxury, but q ne
cess'ty. 1t is not expensive,
. since it more than pays its way,
when properly treated. Sue
cessful business men confess
their obligation to advertising.
d The footsteps of successful
men may well be followed.
Those who would win trade
and hold it must adopt meth
DDS that have been tried and
proved.
Advertising is not an expert
menf. bnt a PROCEED fact. Ads
placed i'll the Kennebec Journal
bring sure results; persistence
will make you a winner.
