thing to do is to rip off the fasteners
and get the rustless kind. Then rub
each spot of rust with salts of lemon
and wash out thoroughly. 1t may be
necessary to repeat this two or three

Midnight Oil Means Suicide

People talk about the midnight oil
as if it had some virtue attached to it,
writes DR.. Hale in Woman's Home
Companion for August. I'm truth. four
times out Of five the midnight oil means
overwork, or it means that you have
neglected some duty which should have
been attended to before the sun went
down. Unless each night RECEIVERS the
ground lost in the exertion of the day
before, you are committing suicide By
inches; and you have no right to COM
nit suicide at all"

Waterway History Is Related.

|
| William F. Saunders of St. Louis. sec
rotary of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway Association. in his report to
the convention detailed the history of the
deep-waterway movement, the difficulties
it encountered in the beginning, its pur-
pose, scope and prospects for the future
and the benefits that the United States
would derive from it.
The work of the association in teach
ing through newspapers, magazines.
pamphlets and speakers the Importance of
the deep-waterway project was explained
| by Secretary Saunders.
Through its publicity" the report sets
| forth, 1.-THE association teaches the mer-
| chants and manufacturers that with the
building of the deep waterway freight
rates will be steady and reasonable and
not subject to the violent fluctuations
| such as occur at present. 1t also teaches
the 100000 men directly employed by
the railways that rail and river trans
portation are complementary they must
help each other to perfect the transpor-
| tation of the country"
According to Secretary Saunders the
doctrine of the association is that the
| first duty of the government is to perfect
| its transportation and that this can only
be done by building the deep waterway
| from Chicago to New Orleans improving
at the same time into complete naviga-
bility the principal tributaries of the Mis-
sissippi river so that the ship waterway
between the lakes and the gulf will be the
trunk line of comprehensive system of
| waterways.
The actual launching of the deep water
way movement by the trip down the river
from Chicago to New Orleans over the
route of the proposed waterway made by
Congressman William Lorimer and Henry
7. Rainey of Illinois and Ben Humphreys
of Mississippi and their organizing of
the deep waterway association was re-
lated by Secretary Saunders and every
step taken in that connection by the vari
Gus associations, officials and citizens
since then was explained.
THE first convention of the association
held in ST. Louis had on its roster / 100
delegates representing twelve States"
runs the report. 1.-THE second convention
in Memphis last year had on its roster
$500 delegates, representing nineteen
States. and this convention has on it's
roster 3,517 delegates, representing forty
four States"
