met an immensely disgruntled
manager of a Chicago branch estab

whose parent organization covered vir-
tually the whole territory OF the
United States. writes Hollis w.
Field in the Chicago Tribune. This
manager was mad ali through simply
because he he'd a newly opened let

In substance this letter dwelt upon

tory, and in the New York Offices the
policy had been adopted of cutting the
salary rolls just three per cent. for
the II months in the hope that the
dividend sheet in another year would
recover
That letter. said the angry man
ager, says TO me- Smith, we notice
that with force OF so many thousand
men in all our departments, we've
done three per cent less OF profitable
business last year than we did the
year before. Now, cut off three per
cent. of the workers in your depart
ment and see If you can't make a bet

me TO shorten my legs three inches
and see If | can't walk farther?
What does the general Office imag.
Inc men are employed for? We are
one of half a dozen great competitors
for the business of the country in our
line. Competition is so sharp that we
must go after whatever portion we get
of II. Sober, Industrious, practical
men are needed in every department
of the work from the time the bust
ness is canvassed for and given to us
until final settlement of the work paid
for is satisfactorily accomplished. So
what does that letter put up TO me?

business next year in order that my
profits may be greater in consequence.

AN INT0LERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. / was
in despair. really afraid of becoming
totally bald
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, l would
scratch the worst places so that my
finger-tips would be bloody. / could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then | would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.

In Germany the graduated Stag

permeable to air, and consequently are
well suited for the building of houses.
They do not absorb water as rapidly
