SMILING AND BROWNING.

Some women were discussing stores
and how they liked to trade at this
store or that, and how they didn't like
some other store or stores. At some,
there was the most ready disposition
to please and pleasant attention
given to the desires of the customer.
At others, this was not so apparent,
and sometimes there was really a
moody temper exhibited. Il don't
like to trade there" said one, ION &C
count of this apparent cool indiffer-
ence. / like to trade at -" she
said; there the salespeople are so
nice and accommodating. Then the
little cleavage presented itself, arising
no doubt from the difference of dispo-
sition exhibited at the counters. A
mere man overhearing such converse
ton naturally arranges the facts so as
TO produce an explanation or to gather
therefrom bit Of practical wisdom,
and in this case he did not have to go
far TO reach measure of success. 1t
was always the manager Of the stare
that came in for a touch of criticism,
and as just and careful as he might
be, was his temper and disposition
that permeated the entire establish
ment. When he frowned the store

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says WeIl-known
Authority.

"The numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be
source Of irritation to the bladder, and,
most Of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do NO better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget th6
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and sim.
pie prescription should be posted up.

Fort Monroe, Va.-Aerial naviga-

ing on the shore opposite from this
fort
Ely's trip nearly ended in disaster,
however, for when his machine
cleared the cruisers deck it dipped so
that one wing struck the water The
shock broke a propeller blade, but
Ely succeeded in getting clear and
continued his fight.
The crippled condition of his BIZ
plane made long trip impossible and
the aviator headed for the nearest

Chesapeake Bay. He al1ghted on the
beach only few feet above the water

Ely started his daring attempt
when the Birmingham was in Chesa-

objective point.

Jersey City Employees NuIIify Agree
nnent Made by New York Men.

New York-The striking express
drivers and helpers of Jersey City
nullified the agreement reached
between the New York strikers and the
five transcontinental companies, That
agreement was conditioned upon the
consent of the Jersey men to return to
work, and they have refused.
The situation now reverts to pre-
cisely the position it occupied before
Mayor Gaynor took hand in the ne
gotiations-with this exception, that
the mayor Is angry and resolved to
temporize no longer.
Some of the New York drivers and
helpers who believed the Jersey men
would also ratify the agreement were
on their wagons, but If the Information
al Brotherhood of Teamsters makes
good its word, they will all be called
out again. The chauffeurs are fighting
their own battle, and it promises to be
a bitter one. Five hundred cab drivers
went out to aid them.
