KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
HonIih is Worth Saving and Some AIaslSA People Know How Go save It.

Many Alaska people take their lives in their hands by negleCting the kid neyS when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsi- hle for vast amount ot suffering and | III health, but there is DO need to sui fer nor to remain in danger when all | diseases and aches and paineS due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per manently cured by the use of Deans Kidney Pins.

If none were sick and none were sad, What service would you render? I think if we were always glad, We scarcely could be tender. Did one beloved never need Our patient ministration, Earth will grow cold and miss, indeed It's sweetest consolation; IT sorrow never claimed one heart, And every wish were granted, Patience would die, and hope depart Life would be disenchanted.

THE LOCAL PAPER

Wesley A. Sanger, managing ad- vertissr of the Office Outftter, Chi cago, recently made an address before body ofretailers In which ho called attention 10 the value of the local news paper. He said in part;
 "Tne local newspaper is the greatest thing the retailer has If he will use 1t right, but a large proportion are too prone to believe that the editor win take care of their interests whether they look after bis or not. This is wrong. merchants as class would only take advantage of their opportu- nltles that the local newspapers afford them they would reap rewards far be- yond their ioudest dreams,
 "Whue selt-preseryation is the first law Of nature, editors of local papers have a habit of letting seli-iuterest go to the limit when 1t comes to a question of serving the community. For this they are entitled to recognition, which they rarely receive.
 ''No doubt the retailers have en- couraged them as far as sentiment goes. They have undoubtedly said that they approve of the editors methods aud called him good boy" but in how many cases have they fallen short in thoir real encouragement that counts ? How often have they neglected to use his columns .hiukIng they were clever init?
 "Iu failing to patrOnize him they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
 ''You must get behind your local editor and push for all you are worth. Be gives you s2 back for every dollar you invest with him. He furnishes for you, at his own expense, one oi the biggest assets you possess, the medium through which you let the people know what you have to sell. Through recent years the mail order proposition has been somewhat boIhersome. The ed itors Of the country have done more than all others combined to win busi- ness back into normal channels and to reconvert the farmer and general consumer to the logical belief in home trading.
 "The country editor refuses to take profits from your enemy even when the enemy will pay more than you will. He refuses 60 accept business from the mail order store in the distant city and even goes further by telling how supe- riOr the local store is to the distant one and dstailes the advantages of buying at home.
 Do not let It be said of your com muuity that you have let your editors work go uuappreciated. Use his paper. Make him prosperous and yourself rich by doing so. If you have foolish ideas about'the uouprOductiveness of news paper advertising, throw them of and try 1t out. One try will prove nothing. If it's successful, so much the better, but the constant use Of the paper In an intelligent manner will produce the results.
 "The best friend any business man in the world has, next to his wife, is the local newspaper, and fl he dOsen't get full value for his friendship 1t Is his l fault, not the editors. The editor of the average so-calIed country paper has done more to upbuild his town and retailers 10 it than all other inau- euces combined, and 1t also follows that as an honest and unbroken rule he is the least appreciated person in the community"
 In conclusion Mir. Sanger said that the country newspaper man does not osl, fo. cberitv brt stands ready ID

over the falls in the Pend d'Oreille.
The deer had been chased by parties in
boat and on shore and had plunged
iato the river to escape. They put after
the animal with the Shamrock and Cir
cled around it for some time. Finally
they got the deer circling around the
boat, and it came so close to them that
it was possible to touch the animal.
Finally Braddock caught the deer by the
ear, but lost his grip. Desart then tried
his luck and got it by the ear and held
it for some time AS it was out OF the
season the boys decided not to try and
land their prize, so it was turned loose.
The deer was doe and in good condi-
ton, but was pretty we'll tired out from
having been chased by the parties above
| the falls.

TWO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE.
Doing Real Work We'll, and Love, Says
This Writer.

On this gloomy day, beginning with
a troublous morning a spirit of content
grows upon me. Perhaps it is because
| rescued those half-burned notes, but
somehow il comes to me with renewed
force that two of the great things in
life are real work-that is worth the
doing-and love. To this add opti-
mism, reasonable and eager hope.
and you have certainly the ingredients
for happiness. There is spirit of wor-
ship in work, recognized by the monks
long ago in their p.overb. Work is
prayer" The same spirit exists in true
love, that impels us TO high ideals,
and calls out the best, the truest, the
noblest sentiments we possess. I'VE
needs must love the highest when we
see it," Real joy and happiness often
exist in the WEAKNESS of toll, and in
striving to live up to an ideal and be
worthy of love. There is no great mys.
terry in this, for real troubles have
their part in life. yet after all, great
many of them are mere phantoms, that
vanish as the sunlight dispels the
gloom.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in Ma
tional Magazine.

sAFFLE THE TAX eATHERERs
Residents on Irish Islands Enjoy Inn
munity from Taxation.

The difficulty Of collecting rates in
q number Of islands lying off the coast
of Donegal, Ireland, was discussed at
a recent meeting of the Donegal
county council. II was stated that
rates had not been paid in Tory Is
land for the last 20 years, and that
within the past few years the island
ers Of Cole, Inisherer, Inishmair,
Inishboffin, and others had followed
the example Of their Tory brethren
and developed a conscientious objec-
ton to rate collectors. Ii was impos-
sible to get boatmen TO take out col
lectors to serve demand rates or make
collections, and even summons servers
who had summonses for the island
ers, were refused passage. On one
occasion the collector engaged boat
and succeeded in reaching the first
island before his mission was dis
covered The boatman then refused
TO take him back TO the mainland, and
II was only after much promising and
pleading that he was allowed 10 re-en-
ter the boat A councilman said that
short OF catching the islanders when
they came to the mainland and strip
ping their clothes Of them. he did rot
see how they were to be made to pay.

a Remarkable Wagon.

J. p. Boyer of Sohola township, Pike
county, Pennsylvania, has a farm wa
gon the woodwork of which he built
himself in 1868 in a wagon shop in
Barryyille, ~ Y, in which he was an
apprentice Mr. Boyer did all the wood
work on the wagon by lamplight,
sawed the hubs. split and hewed every
spoke, felloe and axle. Purchasing a
farm in Shohola township .he same
year, Mr. Boyer took his wagon with
him to the farm and has used it con
stantly ever since. He has never had
the tires set or a dollars worth Of re-
pair done to it, and 10 all appearance
it is good for another century. Aside
from good workmanship and material
the secret Of its lasting qualities is
due to the fact that it has always been
housed when not in use.

Statistics furnished by manufactur-
ers of shirts and collars indicate that
the average New York man has a
smaller neck than his out-oftown
brother. Comparison of orders shows
that out Of a given volume of business
booked. Boston and Chicago led in the
matter of big sizes. Inquiry at several
haberdashery shops in Manhattan re-
suited in the information that any
number larger than 1914 would have
to be specially called for from the fac.

In other cities it is an everyday ex.
perience to sell as high as size IS

IT'S utterance. You want job, DC
vous" was the question that took its

Have you nerve?" Il had enough to
ask work from the city without a
pull" That speaks well for you.

son from the fangs of the snakes"
"Twenty-three." remarked the appli-
cant. as he turned to go. ''Stung
again" NO, but mean It," said
the official And he did. He took
the young man to the snake house and
showed him the snakes. Then he ex-
hibited a bottle q: poison extracted
from their fangs. The position offered
has other duties, but the essential re-
quirement is that the incumbent shall
at stated seasons corner the snakes
and pump them free of poison. The

The Panama Canal, the Navy and
our Merchant Marine.

The original estimate of the cost
of the Panama Canal has grown
from one hundred and fifty to
three hundred millions. Secretary
Taft has told Congress that the
country may reasonably expect to
see ships 90 through the canal
within six years.
1t is, perhaps, the greatest en-
terprise in all the history of the
world, and if we bring it to a sue
cessful conclusion within the time
and the cost estimated, it will rank
as one of the most notable achieve
ments of man.
From one point of view, we are
spending enormous sums in a great
undertaking, largely for the bene-
fit of the remainder of the world.
We have practically no American
shipping. We do not now main
tain direct communication be-
tween our Atlantic ports and the
Atlantic ports of South American
countries. The American going
to Rio or Buenos Ayres must go
by way of Europe.

this event the minister made the ac-

name was Reginald Story.
