HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years conditions
in all lines of business. even profess
sional life, have changed so complete
ly that every man is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success he
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing and do 1T well.
So il is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit, or no amount of advertising
will maintain the demand for the ar
ticle.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liver,
and Bladder Remedy. From the very
beginning the proprietors had so
much confidence in II that they in
vited every one to test 1t, free of cost,
before purchasing.
1t is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands of let
ters received from former sufferers
who are now enjoying good health as
a result of its use.
However, II you wish first to try a
sample bottle, address DR.. Kilmer &
Co, Binghamton. N. Y, and mention
this paper. They will gladly forward
you a sample bottle by mail, absolute
ly free.
Regular sizes for sale at all drv>

SECRETARY MEYER
CITED into COURT
Navy Department Claims
Right to Reject All Bids
for Sale of Vessels.

At the Navy Department today it wa:
stated that the Secretary had been cited
to appear before the District Supreme
Court, upon the petition of A. Goldberg
and that he will send Solicitor Butler
of the Navy Department, to represent
him when the case Is called.
Secretary Meyer Is absent from the

At the Department Is was explained
today that the bids were opened for the
sale of the cruiser Boston and that
Goldberg, who offered $50, 900 for the YES
sci, had put in the highest bid. All this

1t is asserted at the Department, how
ever, that it has a legal right to reject
all bids for the sale Of vessels If 1t be-
comes advisable to do so and that in
the case OF the Boston the bids were
rejected.

HOW THE MATE GOT SQUARE.

The Mate had been enjoying a days
iamboree and In the ships log for
that day the Captain had inscribed the
following:
Mate drunk today"
on the following day after he had
sobered up, the Mate was scanning the
log and when he observed what the
Captain had written therein, as to his
conduct of the day previous. he sought
him out.
Captain. you're not going to let
that stand there I'm the log, are you?"
he asked
You were drunk yesterday isn't that
true?" asked the Captain.
yes, it's true" replied the Mate
somewhat shamefacedly, but if IT
stands i'm the log see what a predica-
ment 1t will put me in with the owners
of the ship when we go ashore"
We'll. as long as it's true it stands
In the log" said the Captain.
A few days later the Captain was
scanning the log and he came across
the following:
THE Captain sober today"
The Captain recognized the writing
as that OF the Mate and he lost no
time in calling on him.
what do you mean by inserting in
the log that | am sober today?" he
asked
IT'S true, isn't it?" the Mate en-
quired.
'Of course it's true / was never

the Captain.

BOSTON GROWING RAPIDLY.
City Director Places Total at 707, 900
With Gains Being Made.

An Increase of more than five per
cent last year I'm the population of
Boston is shown by the new edition
of the city directory. The number of
names i'm this record of the inhab-
itants always bears direct relation
to the population. The census enum-
orator takes men. women and children,
but the directory gives only men and
employed women. so its figures have to
be multiplied by a constant factor to
give the population.
In most cities in the country the
census gives from two and u half to
three times as many names as the
directory. but in Boston the directory
has always been so compiled that the
factor has never been over "a. In
the last census IL was 2.17 so the in
crease of 1926 names this year would
mean an increase I'm population of &c.
500, making present figures for Boston
100000
An astonishing fact Is shown I'm the
table of changes. There are changes
in 20 per cent, or more than two-thirds
of the names. from one year to an
other: 1894 names were added Co.
SAC names taken out and the changes
I'm address and occupation were add
ed, 56,549 names taken out and 309,-
10 names that made up the. directory
