CARPENTER HURT BY FALL
By j. B. HOUSTON.

Bessemer, January 9.-(Special) )-The Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany is still stocking coke at it's Roberts town plant many cars daily coming from the Blue Creek coke ovens and unload ing at Bessemer The coke ovens at Bes- semer burn coke enough to operate the Bessemer and Ens1ey furnaces, and prac- tically the output of the Blue Creek ovens is unloaded and stored at Robertstown. Just why this immense quantity of coke is stored here is not known. but 1t is pointed out, it has been a blessing to many an employe as he has been kept at work digging coal and pulling coke when generally he would not be employed, on account of the number of furnaces inac- tive at this point, there being three still out of blast.
 The furnaces in blast at Bessemer are burning out over 400 tons of pig iron daily. and there is a steady demand for the output, as there is little being placed on the yards. The coke ovens at both furnaces are burning regularly, and a large number of men are employed at this work.

A bad back turns every "A hours into enc dull round of pain and mlsery,you are lame in the morning, nagged all oay by a dull, throbbing backache, can rest in the evening or sleep well at nlgnt. It hurts to bend over, straighten up, get up from a chair, or lift even light weight, Any sudden twist, turn or awkward movement sends tearing twtnge or pam through the weak spot.
 Backache is really kfdney-ache. The kidneys are in the small of the back, and any pain there Is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urine Is discolored, contains sandy sediment, or passes too frequently. then you. have double proof.
 Keep the kidneys well and the kidneys will keep you well. Well kidneys filter the blood and keep it pure. Diseased kidneys only partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kidneys and you invite uric acid poisoning, gravel stone in the kidney, rheumatism, heart trouble, diabetes, Bright's disease, and 8 long list of other serious disorders now recognized as hav- ing their cause In kidney weakness.
 At the first sign of bsckache or urinary disorders, give the kidneys quick help, not with plasters, liniments, any other outside applications, but with a special kidney medicine.
 The simplest and most effective rem edy for sick kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Tf thn~e 's weakness. congestion.

ADVERTISEMENT
 AS GERMICIDE
E. S. Martin in the Atlantic for Janu-

E. S. Martin in the Atlantic for Janu-
 ary.
 Advertisement is expensive The first thing an advertiser needs to make sure of is that the wares he offers are worth the cost of offering them. Sometimes they are not and still the advertisement may be profitable because of the vast supply of folks in the world who are ready to be persuaded and do not know when they n. Q fooled 1t is a reasonable presump- tion, however, that commodities that are advertised impressively and long are worth advertising, because shrewd ad- yenturers in trade are loath to spend good money in recommending bad goods. This presumption, unfortunately, does not extend to the persons upon whom adver- tising Is forced They may be super Iatively worthy of attention or quite un- worthy of 1t. Their examples may be di- rictly profitable as examples to follow, indirectly as examples to avoid, or un- profitable because they possess gar1sh attraction which misleads the foolish. It is all one to their advertisers, whose only /aim is to find a profit in satisfying public curiosity, and who are as ready to do 1t by exposing the folly of the foolish as by expounding the wisdom of the wise. The best that can be said of advertise ment of this sort is that publicity, like sunshine, is a great germicide, and that some of the most pernicious social germs are blighted by 1t.

MAKES MAN DON UNIFORM.
Dog Menaces Railroad Official Wearing
 Civilian Dress.

From the New York Press
 For 15 minutes New Years day it was an open question whether George Tillott foreman of the Long Island railroad S trolley system at Huntington, Long Is- land. Roxy is the Long Island railroad mascot. He formerly belonged to William H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the road, and after Baldwin died the dog was adopted by every man in the serivce who wore A uniform. The reason those in ci- william dress did not adopt him was be- cause Roxy would have nothing to do with them. Tilott. not knowing Roxy was there. started to go into the main office of the trolley line New Years day See- ing he was In plain clothes, and deeming him an intruder, Roxy immediately stood on guard and showed by his savage bark ing and display of white and well-set teeth that there would be trouble if the foreman persisted in his purpose of en- tering. Tillott tried to coax the terrier The animal did not know him, and not until tho foreman had gone back to the trolley tracks and got uniformed man would the dog permit him to enter his own office. After Tillott put on a uni- form coat the dog made friends with him at once.
 Roxy goes all over Long Island on the trains and trolley cars Wherever he IS seen he is made welcome by the train- men. the same as they did when the dog used to accompany Baldwin on his tours of inspection. Now, however. they share their lunches with the dog. and the station men see to it that he has inc warmest nook by the stove at night.

LawIess New York.

Victor Rousseau, in Harper's Weekly.
 New York, in fact, is sufeited with murder. It Is a commonplace of the days news; 1t has ceased to attract at tention. Men are stabbed shot down or blackjacked, not secretly, but in the open, crowded streets at midday, for little or no cause Life has become cheap CT in New York than in the widest of western mining camps.
 Against the 643 arrests for homicide in Greater New York during the first nine months of 1908 there have been returned 40 indictments within the county of New York 21 for murder and 19 for man. slaughter. Nine of these were filed last year, but they may be included to coun- terbalance indictments still pending. Upon the 1906 basis there should have beer returned 6S indictments upon these GAS arrests if we include the other three boroughs of Richmond, Brooklyn, and Queens In 1907, out of 62 indictments for murder and manslaughter there were 8 convictions. For the three first quar- ters of 1908, out of these 6S indictments there should be 43 convictions.
 This means out of every 1000 arrests made for homicide during the present year 9S3 suspects will go free and 67 will suffer some form of punishment. Oi these CT, probably four will go to the electric chair.
 Ninety-three and three-tenths per cent of all homicide suspects will be set loose to work their will upon the community.

 BIRMINGHAM PROOF.
 c. w. Baker, 1909 North Sixteenth street, Birmingham Ala, says: "Doans Kidney Pills have my highest indorse- ment. as they cured me so thoroughly of kidney trouble over year ago that have had no return of it since. This dis- ease had such a firm hold on me at the time that I was confined to my bed. had dull pains through my kidneys and also in my back and lons. In the morn ing I often arose so stiff and lame that it was only with great difficulty that could dress myself. If I sat down for a few moments could not arise without assistance. as my back would be so weak. When Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention I was suffering severely and resolved to try them, pro- curing a box at E. B. Norton's drug store. They made "a gradual improve ment in my condition, and in compar- atively short time I was completely cured. then gained in weight and felt better in every way.

PIE FOR BREAKFAST IS PR0PER THING Some Washington Lunch Room
 Philosophy NOT AN UNCOMMON DIET It Is Said That the Man Who Eats Pie for Morning Meal Is Good
 Natured and Not Easily
 Ruffled.
NOT AN UNCOMMON DIET
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 Pie for breakfast" said the proprietor of the dairy lunch establishment. Yes, sir you have no idea of the number of people who indulge in that esculent for their morning repast There was a time when I would not serve such a dish for the first meal of the day, but l had so many calls for it that I began to look upon it as all right, and now if cus- toner calls for pie at my place at the breakfast hour he can get it.
 "Of course, generally, the person who satisfies his appetite with me takes some sort of liquid food on the side. Some times 1t is coffee; sometimes it is tea;
 but a great many of the folks who take their meals at my place take pie and milk Certainly, some of them are actu- ated by economical reasons, but for all
 that 1t is well known that there is much
 sustenance in a good piece of pie, and,
 when taken with milk, it produces no
 little strength, and will hold one up at
 least until noon, when the pie repast
 comes again to the front.
 Quite lot of department people take their meals at my shop who are partial to pastry both for breakfast and lunch con, who come in later in the day; that is, after office hours, and fill up with a very hearty dinner. I asked an old cus- toner of mine, who has been dealing with me so long that we regard each other as personal friends, why so many people indulged in such trining breakfast as , pie and milk, and he assured me that people whom he had talked with on the subject were satisfied with 1t, particu-
 larly because they did not load them- selves up, and could work during the day with much more comfort than if they partook of more elaborate meal
 NO, queer as it may seem, ladies don't indulge in a pie diet to the extent that
 men do. There is a little club of women who come into my place almost every
 morning, and it seems to me that they
 have no more than canary-bird appetites Gra cious but these young women have a good time, in spite of their slight b1 eakfast. They come in a group just before o'clock with their papers and
 magazines, and chatter away like mag pies as they nibble their toast and sip their tea, and then they take a sandwich
 away with them for lunch. Just look in
 on the same bunch at o'clock in the afternoon and they're so busy with their
 meat pies, oysters and other substantial
 viands that they can't get time to talk.
 ''You can gage the character of a person by his grub" concluded the lunchman. ''Now, a pie-eater, I find, Is rather a good-natured individual. I have known many a man who relishes pie and milk for breakfast to tip the walters and that doesn't too often happen in lunchrooms-to a sum equal to the price of their food. Oh, no. mean the men the ladies don't seem to do much in that line"
