DEEDS, NOT WORDS,
Staunton People Have Abso.
Lutte Proof of Deeds at Home

1t is not words, but deeds thatprove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
for Staunton kidney sufferers, have
made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Staun-
ton people who have been cured to stay
cured.
William l.. Rohr, 1O41 Front street,
Staunton, Va, says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the results were sat

with me for long time and I suffered
from severe pains in my back and
sides. STOPPING or lifting caused SHARP
twings to dart through me and 1 had
to have assistance in getting out of
bed. The kidney secretions were very
irregular in passage, and 1 had but
little control over them. L tried sew

no relief until procured Doan's Kid

SHOE SIZES.
HOW THE STANDARD OF MEASURE
MENT WAS ESTABLISHED.

1t is most difficult for many persons
to remember the sizes of their different
articles of wearing apparel. Collars.
shirts and gloves are easy enough, be-
cause in the case of these it is matter
of actual inches. But the hat and shoe
numbers are what puzzle most people,
to say nothing of the mystery why a
No. II stocking goes with No. shoe.
This last puzzle is, however, easily
explained. Stockings have always
been measured by the inch from heel
to toe, but the numbering of shoes was
fixed long time ago by Frenchman.
The Frenchman permanently fixed
the numbers of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven-eighth
inches. So, calling this zero, he al
lowed one-third of an inch to size and
accordingly built up his scale. 1t fol-,
lows therefrom that man cannot find
out the number of his own shoe unless
he be an expert arithmetician. Even
then he is likely to go wrong, because
all the shoe experts allow for the
weight of the individual and the build
of his foot before they try to determine
what size shoe he ought to wear.
AS far as women's shoes are concern
ed the problem is still more difficult,
because many of the manufacturers
instead of keeping to the regular scale
have marked down their numbers one
or two sizes in order to capture easily
flattered customers. For this reason
most dealers ask out of town customers
to send an old shoe with their orders.
The system of measuring hats is
much simpler. Any man can tell
what size he wears simply by adding
,he width and length of the inner brim
and then dividing by two. Orders can
also be sent to the shopkeeper by stat
ng the circumference of the head

AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE.
TOUCHING SCENE THAT OCCURRED IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

TOUCHING SCENE THAT OCCURRED IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
From a volume by Hon. A. E. Steven
son, "Something of Men l Have
Known" is taken this account of an
incident which deserves a place in
memory.
A touching scene occurred in the
house of representatives a number of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first time
addressed the speaker. All eyes were
turned in his direction as he stood
calmly awaiting recognition. He was
tall, spare and erect. His venerable
appearance and kindly expression, cou-
pied with most courteous manners, at
once commanded attention. AS in
husky tones he again said "Mr. Speak
er!" there came from the farthest end
of the great hall in whisper, but dis
tinctly heard by all, the words, "Sweet
Alice, Ben Bolt" A moment later
anu from tne HOOr ana gallery many
voices blended IN the familiar refrain'
"Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt ?"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
of the new member warmly grasped by
the chosen representatives of all par
ties and sections. 1t was an inspiring
tribute, one worthily bestowed. The
member was Thomas Dunn English,
author of the little poem, sung in palace
and cottage, which has found its way
into all languages and touched all
hearts.

APPLYING SUMMER MULCH.
Ground Should Be Worked Over Fine

the welfare Of the plant. x
The mulch must be added to from
time to time. as the drying out Of the
grass renders 1t much thinner than

LIFE IN NEW YORK
Il ONE GREAT BLUFF
THAT'S HOW RESIDENT OF METRO
POLLS VIEWS EXISTENCE
IN BIG BURGH

Life in New York is one great bluff.
declares one of its more recent dwellers,
who evidently makes good use of eyes
and ears. You think your next door
neighbor is rolling in wealth, yet more
often, if you only knew it, he is won-
dering how the deuce it happens you
are SO much better off than he is. You
imagine he is rich because you see him
coming home in an automobile every
afternoon, while he gets his ideas of
your wealth by the fact that your wife
wears expensive furs and never goes
out except in an automobile or carriage.
You are both making bluff: So is
half of New York, tor that matter, and
the trouble is that it's something diff
cult to avoid. Appearances count for
much there, and it isn't always con-
venlent to have enough money on hand
to make good. But there's creditor,
at the worst, there are places and in
stitutions which will assist you to put
on good front that nobody not in the
secret can detect.
Suppose you are going to give din
ner You havn't any silverware, and
the linen, you discover, is full of holes.
You haven't the money to buy new
things with, so you phone to the ca
terer and he attends to the rest. He
furnishes you with fine layout OF ta-
BILE linen, silver and glassware, and
everything with your initial on it. Be
sides, he sends you waitre IS or but
ler, whichever you desire, who lets you
call him or her by name and pretends
that he has been in your employ for
years. 1t doesn't cost much, either.
Then, again, if you want to make
people think you have an automobile,
you can hire one by the hour, and the
chauffeur will swear up and down, if
you ask him, that it's your car and
that he has been in your employ for a
long while. You can dress we'll, too,
on bluff, by hiring things, or buying
them second hand, or, if you have cred
it at the big stores you can have things !
sent home on approval and wear them
one night, only to return them to the
store the next day.
It's also possible to rent baby,
complete with outfit, too-perambula-
tors, crib and baby clothes-all ready
for christening. Why, one of the
societies turned heaven and
earth to break up the baby renting
business. 1t seems women beggars
found out that if they crouched on the
sidewalk with a baby in their arms
people would drop coins into hand
that was not stretched out, but was ac-
cidentally posed so that coin could be
dropped into it.
These beggars who had no babies of
their own to torture rented them on a
percentage basis, either from baby
ARMS or heartless mothers. The beg
sars, it was found, pinched the little
'nes, or did other things to make them
cry or moan, and the societies got busy.
Yes, New York is bluff, all right,
n more ways than can be named, for
new methods of turning the favorite
rick are thought out daily.

HAS MANY FAULTS.
BUT THE NAVAJO is NOT TO BE JUDGED
BY THE WHITE MANS STANDARDS.

In many ways the Navajo Indian is
not bad fellow. His peculiarities are
faults when judged by the white mans
standards, but why should we presume
to measure the red mans oats in our
half-bushel basket? For one thing, he
knows no distinction of meum and
tuum, and would rather steal than buy
from any person or at any time. Again,
the truth is not in him-or if it is, it is
so deeply buried that it never reaches
the surface; and ingratitude is so uni
versal that it's opposite is inconceivable
in the conduct of Navajo. Then his
weakness for many wives may be
counted against him; but perhaps this
should be considered lack of wisdom
rather than moral lapse. Two wives
have been known to have II. Some
times it happens that mans wives
quarrel. Then he separates them,
building for each a hogan, or hut, sepa-
rated, if possible by rock, hillock or
a convenient butte, which neither is
supposed to pass. If all tales be true
the wives are not always careful to OBJ
serve their appointed metes and bounds;
and many a lively scrap has taken
place, witnessed only by wondering
jack rabbits and wide-eyed papooses,
when the lord of the divided hogans
was away from home.
The mother-in-law joke of the news
paper paragraphers is as old as civili-
zation; but among the Navajos it is a
grim and ever present tragedy. For a
man to look in the face of his mother
in-law is believed to be certain pre-
cursor of long train of incalculable
evils. AS his wife's mother frequently
makes her home in his hogan (after the
custom of mother-in-law,) it requires
some lively lodging to avert catas-
trophe. When he returns home, after
his wool, or visiting the
nearest trading store for supply of to-
bacco, or giving chase to the nimble
Jack rabbit, or sojourning for a time
with another wife, he gives warning of
his approach by loud "ki-yl," and
the old lady scurries to cover, remain
