The Most Common Cause Of
Suffering.

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for the
reason that it is the most common OF all
ills, and it is certainly gratifying TO SUI
ferers to know that Chamberlain's ini-
ment will afford relief, and make. rest
and sleep possible. In many cases the
relief from pain. which is at first tempo
rary, has become permanent. while in
old people subject Ia chronic rheuma-
tism, often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, . permanent
cure cannot he expected; the relief from
pain which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. pc aud Soc

Iapanese Iron Industry.

That the iron industry in Japan will
continue to expand as it has done may
be taken for granted Will further ex-
mansion Of home manufacturing mean
exclusion of all foreign goods? asks the
Engineering Magazine. Surely not.
Then. how much will foreign import
ers suffer from the competition of the
native manufacturers? To this ques-
ton no definite answer can be given, at
leest, by me. The past history of ia
pan tells us that, as home manufacture
ing expands. imports increase in direct
ratio This would be the case for some
time to come. In certain lines Of work
it is impossible for the Japanese to
compete with foreign producers. For
instance, in iron smelling work there
Is no danger Of home made articles re-
placing the imported ones. small
blast furnace plant, with men of little
experience and ore imported from the
far off interior of China, can not COM
pete with gigantic American plants,
managed by the blast financiers and
engineers of the age. The same thing
may be said of large machines. If I
am not mistaken, the largest dynamo
built in the Shibaura iron works, which
has the best equipped department for
the manufacture of electrical ma
chimes, was 800 kilowatt capacity. The
home iron industry will grow, and at
The same time Importation of iron
goods will increase, tho the character
of the goods may change gradually.

CLAY CLEMENT TO FARM.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 2S.-After a
stage career of more than a quarter Of
century, Clay Clement, having real
keep him for the rest of his days, Is
going to abandon the footlights and
become chicken raiser at his old
home, Paris, Tex. Clement has had
more financial ups and downs than
any other man in the profession, for
he has been actor, playwright and
hacker of enterprises. 1t might almost
be said that with him it was chickens
one day and feathers the next.
When he returned from Australia
with his company he brought back
death of his father and mother forced
his retirement from the stage for three
years. After recovering from this loss.
Mr. Clement fell victim to the gold
fever that swept the whole United
States in 1908, and Immediately en-
parked for Alaska, where he remained
year and invested in mining COM
pany.
In 1904 he returned to the states
and after dabbing in the stock market
to the extent of his entire fortune he
was forced to return to the stage and
again appeared in "The New Domin-
ion,' which once more put it's author
on his feet financially.
1t was then that Mr. Clement wrote
..Sam Houston" which he produced In
1906. 1t proved to be one of the big
theatrical failures of the year. and left
Mr. Clement again penniless.
H. .. Martin, his present manager,
and son of his former successful man.

stage of his career and once again they
fell back on their old reliable, THE

Previous to his engagement here Mr..
Clement went to his old home at Paris.

it most unexpectedly he received a no.
LITIGATION from the company of which
he was a principal stakeholder, and
had almost forgotten 1t, to the effect
that it had sold out to the Guggen-
helms, and his share of the transaction
will be about 100000.
Hence. Mr. Clay Clements retire.
ment from the stage. He says that he
intends to go to his boyhood home at
Paris, Tex, where he will spend the
remainder of his days. devoting his
time to raising game chickens and pos
sibly finishing few plays that he has
already started to write The American
stage thus loses one of it's good men.
