Man. a Forrest City Reader Knows

There is way open to convince the greatest skeptic. Scores of Forrest City people have made it possible. The public statement of their eXpe- rience is proof the like of which has never before been produced in Forrest City. Read this case of il given by q citizen:
 F. r. Todd, living two miles south east Of Forrest City. Arkansas. says: In return for the wonderful benefit l received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills l am very grateful and cannot endorse this remedy too strongly. For some time | have been q sufferer from kidney disease on certain occasions my kidneys failed 10 throw oil the waste matter as they should, and at other times the secre- tiOns were much too frequent in ac- tion.

While l never expect tO he entirely free from kidney trouble. can state that l never before tried q remedy that helped me so much as Doan < Kidney Pills. procured at the City Drug Store. After taking them ac- cording to directions. the pains in my back became less intense, and tine se- eretionS from my kindeys were more normal. l intend to continue using Deans Kidney Pills as they certainly benefited me.

Salvation Army Schools

The Salvation Army has training school in New York from which seven ty-two students were recently gradu- ated. This seems a phenomenon of every religious movement that achieves success by merit. It may begin with an untrained ministry but that is not the reason for its victories The six months course in the Salvation Army 's school includes sociology, mathematics, physiology, hygiene, music, elocution. first aid to the injured, the Bible preaching and selling the publication of the society. This is reorganization of the power of Organization in push ing a good cause. We perceive that the most beneficent emotions must employ for their advancement and endurance, systematic methods and designed ma chinery that at their beginning would have seemed superiuous, if not harmon ious. Perhaps, too, this is A recogni- tion of the intelligence of street audi. ences, where attention cannot be held by the untrained.

Telephoning in Germany

Telephoning in Berlin has peculiar difficulties. There is an extra charge for night service, when girl operators are replaced by men. The long distance wires Tn the daytime are monopolized by the hours. One official informed an impatient caller: "The trouble is the public telephones too much. {" This state ot mind is like that of minis ter of railways who expressed his opin. ion that the 'publr travels too much '' One who complained at headquarters was told that on certain date there would be second line. The date came and passed but no second line material ized. Inquiry at the office brought this answer. The official who told you that office secret went beyond his priv llege. A new line must not be made known. until it is actually opened ?

Bread and Cakes

Housewives in both Boston and New York complain that not only has the bakers loaf of bread shrunken in size
 but that the former luxury of cake has lost its savor. Economy in eggs, but
 ter and sugar has wrought dire results
 The new cake has outwardly the charm of cheaper markets, but within if is flat, stale and unproftable. It may be digestible. but not nourisiing and cer
 tainly it does not appeal to the taste. Still, it is recognized that the baker also must live and that higher prices for his raw material must mean higher prices for his product or else economy in its making. The ultimate consumer must pay either in fewer sweets or in higher prices. The kitchen cannot af- ford the remedy nor the kitchen an in. vention. The only relief must come either in lower prices for supplies or higher incomes for the wage-earners. Otherwise there will have to be a new school in cookery which shall unite at tractiveness to the palate, nourishment to the body, and economy of the purse.

Graft and Taxes

There is a revelation of urban graft by Allan Robinson, president of the Al lied Real Estate Interests. in New York city He tells this story:
 "A friend of mine was approached by tax inspector.
 I understand, MT. B., said the inspector, that you are trying to have your real estate assessments reduced. '
 Well. not exactly that, answered Mir. B.. It seemed to me that the property was being assessed for more than ii was worth, and l was consider ing an application for lower apprais- al
 '' Just leave that to me, replied the inspector. l'll fix ii up for you all right!'
 '''N None of that fixing business for me, said the real estate man. It costs too much. Il apply to the prop eR authorities and see that the thing is done in the regular way
 All right. You n be sorry if you do, and the inspector walked away
 'Sure enough, instead of reducing his assessment, the city added $sO,OO0 to the taxable value of Mir. B--'s realty, and he is paying taxes on that every year. There are thousands of similar cases.

Reflections of a Bachelor Girl
By Mnude Marie

Competition is the life of the love game
 Getting around Cape Horn in a storm is simple thing beside getting around hus- band before dinner
 A man always feels as frightened and as- tonished when he discovers that he has fall en in love as though he had fallen into a ditch in the dark.
 A wife with a perfectly even disposition sometimes gets on mans nerves as a music box with only one tune.
 It's easy enough to love and honor a hus- band-but humoring him takes real energy
 A man $ love is something like the weath- CT; after a spell of high temperature, it is likely to be damp and cool for few days.
 Methnselah' $ wives must have found it awfully tiresome waiting for the insurance money and chance to see how they looked in mourning.
 A man always says that it was ''force of circumstances that drove him into the downward path; but from the celerity with which he goes, it would appear to be force of gravity that keeps him there
 Even dyspeptic man never hesitates to swallow highly spiced compliment or lit the overdone iattery.
 A woman never thinks she has had her moneys s worth unless she has acquired a heartache-a man unless he has acquired headache.

An Inland Voya ge

It IS an interesting inland voyage that has been made by two steamboats from the Great Lakes to the Mississ
 ippi. Their route from Michigan to the Gulf was used by the Indians before white men came to America and was known to the French in Canada before the colonies along the Atlantic coast had reached the Appalachian range. These boats went from Grand Rapids 10 Lake Michigan, through Green bay and up Fox river, through Lake Winne
 bago to the Portage canal, 10 the Wis
 consin river and then to the Mississ
 ippi. The Portage canal has nine locks and to pass them it was necessary to remove the stern wheels. Some of the draw bridges on the Wisconsin were opened for the first time in fen years. The passage of these little steamers was by route for which there is little com
 mercial demand. But it may he worth revival for local traffic. The demon stration is more interesting than 1t is pertinent to the agitation of direct deep waterway from Chicago to the Mississippi by way of the Illinois river

The Drift cityward

There are signs that in France the old peasant life is gravitating eityward In the middle of the last century the town dwellers were less than a auarte, of the total population, now it is near ly forty per cent. The reason assigned IS the growing impression that life is brighter and easier in the city. The lazy are attracted by desire for amuse. ment and by urban charities, including soup kitchens and free lodgings. This would seem to indicate demoralization of charity. But the spoiled peasant loses the ioie de voire. the real bappi. ness in mere existence Vital statis. ties are affected by the movement, be. cause contagious to which the habitu. ated dweller seems immune assail the newcomer The reason is probably physical. Court ladies milking cows in the last century were only themes for Vatican pictures. Some country lads who come to town achieve fortune. be- cause if is in them to do so But most of them work harder for livelihood than they would on the farm. Nevertheless. the farmers boy will continue to pre- fer the paved street to the hay field and the milk maid will leave the mead ow for the factory in France as in all lands.

Street Nomenclature

Pittsburg is puzzled about names for its streets. The need of new names comes from the absorption of new bor- oughs, where street appellations were duplicated. A special commission has made a report. It considered 400 pro posed names, among them Jeffries place. Sandow place, and the names of baseball favorites Four prominent streets were favored with the names Fortitude, Temperance, Prudence and Justice. All four streets are business thoroughfares and merchants say they will move rather than accept the new names. The most strenuous objections were made to changing the name of fifth avenue, with five miles of business houses and fine residences, to Washing
 ten avenue. Pittsburg certainly ought to give local honor to the young Vir-
 giuia surveyor, whose Knowledge of

YOUNG MIR. ROCKEFELLER

Cut to the quick, evidently, and thoroughly outraged at continued newspaper nagging of Mir. John D. Rockefeller, Jr, that young man $ former pastor, Dr. Bowling of Brooklyn, has entered a spirited defense of his erstwhile as sociate and declares that the young man in the case is entirely worthy of any citizen $ unqual- flied respect good will and friendship.
 And when one comes to think of it, it is a sin. gular phase of American journalism that this man should have been so constantly and con tinuously the target for unkind comment, sneer- ing ausion and sarcastic reference His Sun day school endeavors for one thing, have been ridiculed unmercifully; he has been scotfed at as snug hypocrite, and laughed at as a flake" enthusiast And yet, he seems to have obtained and held fast the high regard of one of Brooklyn's most scholarly and consecrated cergymen d gentleman no longer jointly inter- ested with him in church work, to be sure, but one who must have had fair and ample oppor- tunity to study young Mr. Rockefeller exhaus- lively, nevertheless.
 Mir. Rockefeller appears to seek rather quiet and transformations sort of life He fig ures in no midnight automobile smash-ups; he does not frequent the Great White Way i'll New York. His name has never been connected with an Evelyn Thaw; he does not hang around the stage doors. He owns nor patronizes, no race tracks; he figures in no questionable court proceedings. He does not give vulgar and dis gusting dinners to disreputable friends; and he is not known to sbe the ''angel' behind any aspiring star in musical comedy circles. In short, Mr. Rockefeller appears to be an emi- nently clean and upright young man-lleither startlingy brilliant nor asininely dull neither immediately white nor noticeably spotted
 Why indeed, should such young man be the persistent butt of lot of cheap gibes and doubtful humor! The fact that he possesses millions, and will possess many millions more, argues nothing to his discredit per SC, surely. His methods of living are in somewhat marked contrast with those of some other rich mems sons. He might have gone the way of Harry Thaw and degenerates of that ilk, and never have lacked for assistance along the road to perdition; but he did not choose to- On the con trary. he takes himself seriously; and if now and then he says foolish thing, he does not seem to make habit of doing dirty ones
 It is not surprising that gentlemen informed of young Mir. Rockefeller's real character some times lose patience with his too energetic critics.
