VACATION WORK THAT
 ATTRACTS COLLEGIANS

Boston, July 25.-(Special )-Either' be- cause the improvement in financial condi- tons is a little slow and hence the coi- ditions for the college boys obtaining employment are less favorable this year than in ordinary years or because the at tractiveness of the profession of street railroading is steadily becoming recog- pized among educated yoang men, it is said to be a fact that the employment department of the Boston Elevated Ratl- way company has this summer ente-- tained more applications than ever be- fore from collegians seeking appointment as conductors and motormen. Scores of candidates representing institutions for higher education in various parts of the United States have presented themselves or applied by letter during the spring months and the first part of July.
 Doubtless the same situation has been experienced in street railway offices throughout the country, for college boys lave everywhere found that no better outdoor work Is to be obtained anywhere than on the platform of the buzzing trol . lev car The hand that reaches for n rickel aboard the trolley almost anywhere at this season is as likely as not to be q hand that was lately turning the pages of Greek lexicon.

railway mans point of view is that there are so few places which can be given to these collegians who are willing to en- ter the service with the expectation of staying in it and rising in it. Such a com pany as the Boston Elevated receives ap- plications in a single year from upwards of 30,00O candidates for positions. Among these are picked and experienced men from street car companies in various parts or tine United States. for it is, of course, matter of advantage to be em- ployed in a company whose scale Of wages averages higher than that of 1ny other street car organization it the cast snd where a few years of service give tn experience tl at the ambitious man val ues highly. There are about 5G3e men in the service of the Boston Elevated com Tany as conductors, motor:nen. guards and brakemen so that the total number of vacancies at any one season is not 50 large as t. make many openings for the college lads even if they were not in competition with husky young men from the farm and the country town who sec in street railroading a chance to better their condition.

of guiding cars through the city streets where an error of Judgment or lapse of the faculties may cause seri- ous damage to property and even en- danger human lives
 In appointing lads from the colleges and technical schools preference Is na- turally given by the Boston Elevated company to those who are inclined to stay in the service permanently. Most young men in process of being educated look upon the employment in street rail- roading as temporary; it offers a means of getting a little money for completing the course in college or in the profession al school. Major General William A. Bancroft, however, president of the Bos- ton Elevated company and formerly one of Harvards most famous athletes, be- lieves thoroughly in the opportunities of rapid transit operation for college men who are willing to learn the business practically by beginning on the platform He also holds that as a general thing the presence of well educated young men is good for the service. Alert rel lows from the senior class at Harvard or Tech or Amherst or Dartmouth who undertake to collect fares while study ing the chances in a calling that now ln- cludes more employees than are enlisted in Uncle Sans regular army are unlikely to make such great mistakes as that of the green conductor in New York who, when his attention was called to the fact that he was carrying nine passengers ana had collected only eight fares. stopped the car abruptly and eyeing the passen- gers said ferociously: "One of youse Il hey to get off this carr and no foolin' now"

of the average collegian in dealing with the public is also consideration that gives him standing in system whose management is very proud of the repu- tation Boston conductors and motormen have gained of being probably the most polite of any in the United States.
 The chances of rising in street railroad ing are pretty well understood nowadays among college students. There have been conspicuous examples for them. such as the career of Oren Root, nephew of Elhu Root, who after graduating from college got work with one of tine street car companies and rose rapidly to be general manager of the metropoli- tan system in New York. It is also well remembered that much of the successful planning of some of the details of the system of rapid transit in Boston came under the charge of F. c. Stowell a graduate of the Lawrence Scientific schooi or Harvard university, who had made himself thoroughly familiar with every feature of the science of electric transportation
 Hence among the employees of New Englands greatest street car system, where there have been noted among con. ductors and n1otormen ex-preachers. cx- teachers, poets and playwrights of na- tional reputation, musicians, vaudeville performers and representatives of hun dred other callings, it is not strange that not few graduates and undergraduates of the colleges are found in positions as wage eaTners from which they hope to rise to be men of high salary.

 Flats are now cultivated extensively throughout the country Some varieties are short and scrubby; others grow to an immense height. Almost every flat has spinal column running up and down its center. This is the elevator shaft, and consists of hot air.

A PLEASING DEVIL
 AT THE THIRD AVENUE
The Play Called Out the Biggest
 Crowd of the Week Last Night.

Before the largest audience played to at the Third Avenue theater during the past week The DeviT' was pre- sented last night by the Burgess com pany with Jas B. Cunningham, in the title role, Dr. Miller. MT. Cunningham lives up to the part in every detail. He IS a spirit of mystery, cynical, satirical and powerful, overswaying the efforts of six long years by his efforts of one short day. It is far away field from Adonis, but Cunningham shows him. self fully capable of the part
 Miss Fannie Brondridge as Madame Hoffman capably interpreted her lines. Her enunciation was splendid and her gestures graceful. With Cunningham she shared the honors of the evening. Miss Franc Kelcey as Elsa Berg, the heiress was good. E. w. Topping as Herman Hoffman showed himself an actor in his lines in no small part.
 The Devir' is worth seeing and is deserving of all the praise heaped up on it since it was first produced in New York, and in Chicago at a later date. The play will again be present ed tonight.

f You Had Some Diapepsin
 Indigestion Would Co
Why Not Begin Today to Rid Yourself of Dread Misery From Stomach Trouble Forever.

The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from Indigestion and Stomach trouble is merely a matter of how soon you be- gin taking Diapepsin.
 If your Stomach is lacking in di- gestive power, why not help the stom- ach to do its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of diges- tive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach.
 People with weak Stomachs should eat Diapepsin after meals, and there will be no more Indigestion, no feel ing like a lump of lead in the stom- ach, no heartburn, Sour Risings. Gas on Stomach or Belching of undigested fOQd, Headaches, Dizziness or Vomit- ing, and, besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with naUseous Gdors. All these symp- and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after eating one Trian- gule Of Diapepsin.
 Go to your druggist and get a 50- cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you will always go to the table with heary appetite and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living.

It ls doubtful If many men consider the value of their lives. There are many values. the present earning capacity aud the future capacity. the value in sickness, in old age. the value after death.
 IL Is decidedly matter of thought. not SO much for the man who is unmarried or has none depending on him. yet all men should think over the subject. They may be bachelors today and in year hence husbands and, perhaps. fathers.
 The advantage that men have In this present day world Is that they can pro- tect their lives by means of insurance. This Is DO brief for any life insurunce company and, no matter what some of ms may think of certain companies and their methods, the fact remains that life insur- ance, in thousands Of instances has proved a godseud-the greatest of blessings to widowed women and fatherless children.
 Conceding this. what portion of his in- come should a man devote 10 protectionF question of q similar sort Is for how much should man insure?
 Regarding the first questiOn-what DOT ton of income should be devoted to pro tectionl-one Is helped to an answer by considering the practice of the courts In adjudging bankruptcy cases. In these the judges have decreed that mans income should be divided Into three parts, as fol- lows:
 One-third for rent and savings.
 One-thi for food.
 One third for clothing, pleasure. travel. servant. sickness and all other items out side of rent. savings and food.
 The one-third for rent and savings Is divided equally between rent and savings
 Such a division of q mans earnings or Income Is considered by those most com petent to declare on the point to be proper one and an absolutely safe one If a mans expediture conforms to the speei- hcatlons given, be need never fear ,rry nor trouble, so far as his private affairs are concerned. Peril lies in any serious departure from the proportions given.
 It is manifest, of course. that in the case of bachelors and men with none de- pendent on them, the division of income as specified, none does not apply. For such a man one-third may be allowed for board and lodging, one-third for clothing, travel and pleasures, etc, and one-third to savings. However, 1t Is clearly impOs- sible to be arbitrary on such g. matter for circumstances alter cases.
 Again, the men who are best judges. declare that a man certainly should save at least as much as he pays for rent, one-sixth of his income or earnings. Now. then, what should he do with

SECRETARY OF STATE
 SENTENCED ID JAIL
Colorado Official Will Have Further
 Hearing Tomorrow.

Denver Colo, Oct. 24.-Secretary of State Timothy O'Connor was found guilty in the district court by Judge George w. Allen today and ordered to be confined in the county jail until such time as he shall obey an order of the court in regard to the official ballots for the November election.
 The state supreme court this after noon granted a writ of habeas corpus applied for by O'Connor's attorneys and the secretary of state was released from the custody of the sheriff on $500 bonds. He will appear before the su- preme court on Monday morning at which time the court will take up all matters connected with the controversy which led to the issuance of the judges order.
 The sentence followed O'Connor's re- fusal to place the anti-Guggenheim and business mems tickets on the off cial ballots. These tickets carry the names of the regular republican candi- dates for presidential electors and state but different nominations for the county offices and legislature.

Do We Eat Too Much Salt?

When one is sick the doctor frequently prescribes a dose of salts. Salt is an lrri- tant on the human organism. Common. or table, salt Is in reality chloride of sodium. According to the investigation of impor- tant leaders in the medical world the opin- Ion that salt is a necessary aid to digestion is absolutely without foundation and there can be no question that the excessive and continuous use of salt produces host of . diseases and shortens life.
 The truth of the assertion that salt is an irritant can be easily proved by anyone snufing a solution of salt and water up the nostrils. The profuse discharge which follows is proof of the irritant effect upon the mucous membrane of the nose. What applies to the nose applies equally we'll to the stomach or any other organ Of the body. The effect of salt when used In ex- cessive quantities is to produce catnrrh of the mucous membranes of the body and in time becomes chronic.
 Among other ailments for which salt is responsible are scurvy, eczema and other rashes of the skin. pimples and bolls.

The Value of a Mans Life.

those savings. By such question lt Is not quite meant how should he spend themI but rather in what way should they be laid out to give him and his family the best protection in the case of his death, of sickness. of incnpacity to earn, or of old age. The insurance companies, no doubt, will say at once, buy a policy and spend the whole one sixth In paying the premium.
 Those who have calculated such a situ- ation say such a course is not advisable. While there are many forms of life in- surance and old age maturing policies, it is not the right thing for any man To 10, to pay the whole of his savings over In premiums. He should. however, Invest one-half of hls savings fin life in- suruuce and the other half should be invested SO as to bring in an Income. This makes out one-twelfth of a mans income or earnings to be devoted to in- surance on his life and one-twelfth to be invested so that 1t will be working for the man and earning another in- come for him.
 Discussing the second question asked, for how much should a man insure his life. one gets the answer. In a way. In connection with the first argument. But one-twelfth of a good many incomes would buy far more insurance than some men want In such case the balance most likely woute be invested and add 10 the general '---s'e Instead of taking away.
 The answse cnn generally be found in another question. for how many years after his death does a man want 10 pro vide fully for his family? He can pro- vide such a sum that his widow and children, provided the latter are not earning already a living for themselves. can be kept from want for practically the widows lifetime. Or be can pro vide SO that she continues to get an in- come nearly equal to his own for three or four years. The questions are moi pleasant ones, but every man should wrestle with them.
 man with young children should so arrange matters that they are provided for fairly for at least five or ten years, but in the generality of cases 1t Is con- ceded by the best authorities that If man insures for a sum equal to two and one-half times his income or yearly earn ings he is providing most handsomely for the future, and giving the right and proper protection. A mans life then Is practically valued at two and a half years of his salary.
 At such valuation a good many men would no doubt kick. And few would blame them.

 Human blood contains red and white corpuscles. The little red sol diers carry food. strength and vitality to all parts of the body and the little white warriors fight the battles of the body.
 When, through poor eating, wrong digestion, disease or whatever the cause may be, the blood becomes fill ed with poisons and impurities the little red and white soldiers cannot do their work properly and hence they become a menace rather than an aid to the rest of the body.
