Unkind Reminder.

The dialogue between President
Taft and the Chicago newspaper men.
in which he spoke feelingly of the
time when Cincinnati considered her
self a rival of Chicago as to popula,
ton. and his home city's having re
duced her ''brag' now to age only,
reminded a former resident OF Gin
cinnati of this story: Some years
ago number of commercial travellers
met after business hours in the lobby
of big hotel in Chicago and the va
rious cities which they "drummed"
were the topic OF conversation. The
travellers were nearly all New York
ers and the vulnerable points of the
various cities were attacked A Gin
cinnati whisky salesman In the crowd
took up the cudgel for his city. and
among other things in its favor spoke
of its beautiful suburbs. its good beer.
its fondness for music. its educational
institutions and its patronage of the
fine arts. There's one thing you
haven't mentioned" said a st. Louis
man. Cincinnati isn't as dirty as
Pittsburg"

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No Delta Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

from the kidney secretions. They

:, thin. pale and foamy. or a thick.
red. ill-smelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. comes
from the back. Back pains. dull and
heavy or sharp and acute, tell you
Of sick kidneys and warn you of ap-
roach of dropsy. diabetes and
Bright's disease. poans Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Here's Delta proof:
William Il. Thomas, 564 Palmer
street, Delta, Colo. says: IL have
derived great benefit from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills and for that
reason do not hesitate to speak in
their favor. Too frequent passage
OF the kidney secretions and other
symptoms of disordered kidneys
led me to try Doan's Kidney pills,
which l procured at the Peoples
Pharmacy. They removed my troub-

His Life Enriched the World.

Happy is the man who knows how
4 to enjoy his leisure In way to allie
viate the cares of life. Such man.
says the Springfield Republican. was
DR.. Matthias Cook. physician OF
Utica, N. Z, who recently died at
the age of.70 years. He was lead
ing member of the Oneida County
Medical society. but beyond his pro-
fessional work did other things well
He was well known as singer. He
had famous flower garden. He made
an chronological collection of over
5000 specimens. which he gave to
the Utica Free academy. He became
known through the world as raiser
of high-bred pigeons. He had a rep
utation for microscopical studies. He
gathered n collection of postage
stamps, which he finally sold for
$4,000. Besides all these things. no
physician in Utica did more charitable e
work than DR. Cook He would seem
to have been as well entitled to be
called an 'all-round man" as anybody.

DEFECTS OF THE EYEsIGHT
Curious Connection Between the Or
oans Of Vision and the Teeth
Has Been Proved.

Many eye defects. of course, are due
to the bad habits of their possessors.
Tobacco. for instance. is generally
held to impair their vision. usually In
juring the color sense SO that gold and
silver become indistinguishable Ac-
cording to some medical authorities,
again. the connection between eye
and tooth trouble is more than an old
wife's fable. In his book dealing with
the subject. Hancock relates the story
of boy who woke up one morning to
find himself blind. On examination,
his teeth were discovered to be
crowded together, and few of them
were removed. with the result that by
evening he could distinguish between
light and darkness More teeth were
removed. and in II days his sight was
fully restored. Other cases which
tend to show the connection between
eye and tooth trousle have also been
noted. Very frequently occupation has
much to do with one or other eye de-
feet. Thus, nystagmus is sometimes
known as the miners disease.
Nystagmus is an involuntary oscilla-
ton of the eyeball to and fro or round
in its orbit In contradistinction to
glaucoma it is young defect. having
been noticed in infants, but some
times 1t attacks miners after 40.
Miners are inclined to attribute the
falling to the bad light, but it is more
likely to be caused by the continual
upward glance so often necessitated
by their occupation.

WEAK ON FINANCE
Young Peoples Studies of
Money Generally
Neglected.
Many Are Charming in Every Way
Except for Their Strange Ideas
About Handling Coin
Of the Realm.

Strange ideas of finance our chill
dren are likely to have" said Mr.. Fa-
therly. For one thing. they seem to
think we are made of money"
IF they want anything they think.
apparently. that all they have to do is
to ask their father for the money.
That he might have difficulty in sup
plying all their wants is something
that seems never to occur to them.
and they don't understand it when
sometimes | have to tell them that
there is a kink in the exchequer and
that | cannot just then honor their
demands. But they have other queer
ideas about money. For instance:
I'VE make our two daughters each
a weekly allowance of money for their
various lesser wants. They spend this
money as they go along for many lit
tie things. or sometimes they accumu-
late 1t until they get enough for some
bigger thing that they want. and then
they buy that And then sometimes
when the time has come when they
want to get this more costly thing
they find they haven't accumulated
quite enough. They borrow the bal
ance of me. That is to say. they get
an advance on their allowance. which
they pay back In instaliments at their
convenience.
The home bank lets them take
their time about this. and sometimes
they are pretty slow. 1t is hard. up
hill work for anyobdy to repay bor-
rowed money; | guess we all know
20 girls
about repaying this borrowed money:
we let thew take their time about it,
and we charge them no interest
Then comes along a week when
the home bank is pinched little and
when II would be help to call some
amount on these small loans: which
we do. when agreed to by the other
party. by deducting a sum from the
weekly allowance and crediting the
same to the account of the loan as an
installment in repayment We don't
actually get in any money by this you
understand. but we have to pay out
less. and that in the circumstances
may be n help. And now what do you
think one of my daughters says to me
when I make her this proposition?
oue Is Teuuy anu ~iiiiuk. III ihCt
glad. to let that deduction from her
allowance be made this week. to be
credited to the account OF her loan.
but since this money is going to be 4
help to me she wants to know II |
don't think | ought to allow her some
interest on II! | have been out this
money all this time. but when she
pays any Of It back she thinks ought
to pay her something for the use of
I'll Isn't that bewildering?
1T is my experience that Mrs. Fa-
therly is a great economist She never
wastes penny and she can make a
dollar go further than anybody | ever
knew; but our daughters. charming
girls as they are. have only the haziest
notions about finance. and one OF
these is that money grows in their ia
Tiers pocket"

 From all it's scenes of sadness and of mirth,
 From transitory, fieeting dreams, away To the eternity of perfect day, God called him home. Ah, now we miss the one we held so dear,
 Whose smile we prized, whose voice we loved to hear, His work Is done, and now lie is at rest, God knoweth Til things--he cen knew twas best To call him home. Earth ties must break, and sorrows tears must flow, But, in that land of life and light, we know No sorrow enters, and in perfect peace We'll dwell with him, when life on
 esrth shall cease,
 And we go home. Let us be patient, and in Gods dear
 hand
 Place ours, and, tho we may not un-
 derstand,
 Why He, who seeth and who knoweth
 all,
 From time and friends thus suddenly
 should call
 Our loved one home. Yet,we will trust our Heavenly Father
 still,
 And humbly bow, submissive to His
 will,
 Hoping to meet our loved one once
 again,
 In that bright land of fadeless glory,
 when
 lie calls us home. w.J.H.
