The Doctor And HIS Reward.

In the same issue of an Eastern
newspaper appear two items concern
ing the medical profession. One is
about a bold and resourceful surgeon
who sewed up knife wound in a
dying MANS heart, the ether cites
the fact that, as doctors are short
lived, they are extrahazard0us insur-
anee risks. Here is both the service
in the cause of humanity and the
sacrificed 1.-THE labor and the reward.
The docf3rs are so near to us, play
so intimate part in our living, that,
as If by their very closeness, we are
blind to the extraordinary exertions
they have made for the general COM
fort and happiness.
But for the doctor the Southern
cities would still be suffering those
wild panics of other days when yell
low fever entered port. He has
caused swamps to be drained, sewers
to be laid, streets to be swept and
flushed and hospitals to be built. The
Panama Canal Zone, which under the
French regime, was a highway OF
death, now is more healthful than
many a Northern community with
the same number of inhabitants. To
know medical practitioner is to know
one superior to the average educated
man. Few professors develop such
character. The occupation of heal
ing, of beholding men and women
and children at their worst, irritable,
unreasonable and often cowardly, has
not, fortunately, caused his own de-
generation. His capacity for thought
fitness is trained to keenness, his
selfishness, where there is any, is
shrewdly hidden, and the human in
stinct for enjoyment is not the less
in him because of his knowledge of

German Good Sense.

This country could hardly be ex-
pected to Germanize it's legal pro-
cedure, or, for that matter, make 1t
conform to that of any other coun-
try. But it could embody with bene-
fetal results the principles of the
German system in dealing with petty
disputes. 1t is perfectly proper that
cases involving large amounts or i'm
portant questions should be. gone in
to with care and due expense. But
the extortionate rate which Ameri-
cans pay for justice in small things
is proverbial. The Germans deal
with these things in an eminently
sensible way.
An American tourist who inquired
why there were only four lawyers in
a town of $4,000 people in Germany.
was told that the civil cases had been
reduced to a minimum because every
such case had to be tried by three
conciliators appointed by the mayor
of the dity before it found its way
into the courts. If the judgment
of tue conciliators is not accepted
the case then goes into court, but
the loser has to pay all the costs, in
Guiding attorneys fees, so that the
Judgment of the conciliators is usu-
ally accepted. The conciliators re-
ceive no salary, but they consider

Damascus Vital Statistics.

The French government, wishing
to obtain some vital statistics in re-
gard to certain Turkish provinces,
sent the usual blanks to the provin-
cial governors with the request that
they be answered. The following is
a copy of the reply received from the
Pasha of Damascus:
@. What is the death rate in your
province?
A. 1t is the law of Allah that all
should die; some die young and some
die old.
@. What is the annual number OF
births?
"A. God alone can say; | do not
know and hesitate to inquire.
@. Are the supplies of water suf,
dcient and of good quality?
A. From the remotest period nc
one in Damascus has died of thirst.
@. Give general remarks as to
the character of local sanitation.
A. A man should not bother him

Was Bound To Win.

Edward Mcintyre, a Minnesota
young man, has set an example of
combined patience, endurance, and
foxiness that it would be hard to
match. An abandoned homestead
near Estevan, Saskatchewan, was
thrown open to entry, and animated
was the scramble therefor. Mcintyre
took pains to be the last inquirer at
the land Office on the day previous
to that set for the filing. Then he
stationed himself on chair in the
corridor, with his hand on the knob
of the land Office door. And there
he stayed till the Office opened in the
morning, vigil of seventeen hours.
Many others had gathered from all
directions to get chance at the
homestead, but Mcintyre was the
winner. Whenever Western Cana
dams want to be shown a trick or
two, let them apply to Gopher genius.

Bradstreet's says:

bTdQSJT0GLS says.
Though irregular, the weeks de-
velopments have been in the direc-
ton of improvement. The approach
of Easter has stimulated retail trade
in some lines and sections, with a
sympathetic effect on some jobbing
business and slight gain in collec-
tions. The Southwest and Northwest
send the best reports, while Southern
advices are little more satisfactory
as whole. So far the early crop
and soil conditions are better than a
year ago, and the reports of insect
damages are conspicuously fewer
than in 1907. One effect of these
developments has been to depress
cereal and cotton prices to the lowest
levels of the year, thus modifying
the advance caused in the general
price level in March by the sharp
rise in meats and strength in metals,
outside of iron and steel, and naval
stores

MACHINE GROUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the "hand-
mixed paint of the painter slight
ingly spoken of as 4unscientific" and
mot thoroughly mixed. The facts
are all on the side of the painter and
his hand prepared paint.
1t Is the most scientific" paint
there is, because it is made on the
spot to suit the particular purpose
for which it is to be used. 1t is as
scientific as good Doctors prescrip-
ton. If the painter did not mix it
thus it would be as unscientific as
patent medicine. Moreover the paint
which a good painter turns out is
made of genuine white lead and-pure
hnseed oil. II he does. not mix 1t him
self he is not sure what is in it and
consequently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thoroughly
incorporated with z or 5 per cent. OF
pure Linseed oil in the factory, maxi
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough Incorporation of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white
lead is great advantage to both
painter and HORSEPOWER. National

Money spent for ''tonics" ana
'bracers" to relieve indigestion,
