We pay $500 per ton for sassa-
fras stumps at any station on Louis

his team and two men he can with

check for $4,000 as soon as weigh
ed at Mckenzie.
Land owners everywhere give
any man these worthless stumps
and if you want the business
around your station write us. Now

|ENEMENTS in CHICAGO BAD

eight years, although these buildings
house 100000 people The point is
that every one of them is fireproof in
the basement and first story and the
stairways are fireproof from top to
bottom. They must be built of iron
with slate or other non-combustible
treads; they must be inclosed by 12-
inch brick walls and the doors open
ing into flats from them must be fire
proof with no transoms
Here in Chicago 50 per cent of
your tenement stairways are of wood
with wooden floors in the halls and
mere two-by-four studding lathed and
plastered for walls. You deserve great
credit in Chicago, however" Mr.. Veil

wrong. Every song that comes before
the public is the individual effort of
some music lover ana as rule bears
the stamp of that Individuality which
sent it forth Naturally, it is only the
occasional song shat reaches the
height of popularity, but it is just as
often the unknown writer who sends
forth this song as it is the seasoned
rhymster and musician
Perhaps Miss Anita Owen could ex-
plain best what it means to be carried
from the background into the notice of
the public at one bound by popular
song; what it means to lay down an
empty purse to- receive fair-sized
fortune and be recognized as a sue
cessful song writer by music lovers
the world over Miss Ovens success
came with her first song and that
first song was written when she was
a girl of only 16. studying within con-
vent class rooms. To know that you
have composed song worth publish
ing is one thing; to awake to the fact
that your effort has greatly pleased
the fancy Of the public is another. A
popular song brings handsome checks
to it's writer, far ahead of the cost of
placing it on the market.
1t was about Is years ago that Miss
Owen, then a convent girl living in
Chicago, wrote the words and music
which filed her mind, published the
song herself and discovered she had
achieved success at one step.
Miss Owen confesses that her unex-
pected success and sudden wealth at
the early age of 16 somewhat upset
her. An income Of from ten to f1f-
teen thousand year bestowed upon
a hitherto penniless maiden would be
apt to upset the most staid. She i'm
mediately made stable her air cas-
ties, satisfied her natural longing for
handsome clothes by ordering any
number of French gowns, secured
maid and carriages and travelled
wherever she pleased. Surfeited with
pleasures finally she settled down to
song writing as splendid way for che
right person to make money

Hariemite Says Feline Plague Abroad

New York.-It's out at last Here

ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear In
the Fight Against Tuber-
cuIosis.

Just how serious problem tubercu-
iosiS is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
On to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with its plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national Office
and from the headquarters of the $50
anti-tuberculosis assoc stions who will
cooperate in the move ment.

edge some handkerchiefs one of the

good.
Princess laces are usually sold at

woman to enjoy owning.

FINGERS ARE LESS SKILLED
English Doctor Urges Men and WON
en- to Acquire Manual Skill to
Stimulate Mentality.

London.-Busines men and women
should use their hands in every pos
sible way if they want to increase the
quickness and adaptability of their
brains, according to the latest idea of
a well-known London doctor. He
says:
Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
to make some of your own clothes.
prepare and cook all your food, re
pair your boots and shoes, dig and
plant your garden-in fact, do any
thing and everything that calls for
manual skill if you want to have an
active, resourceful and versatile brain.
THE business man whose work de-
Ponds on keen, Woodworking
brain must use his fingers constantly
If he wants to have these assets in
full. He must, speaking literally, turn
his hands to everything, and be capa-
BILE Of constructing almost anything
with his fingers.
THE truth of this statement lies
in the fact that in every manual act
the hand is directed by the brain.
Again, every act reacts back upon
the brain, Strengthening and stimu-
lating it, which is the only sure
method Of keeping that organ in keen,
efficient working order
That our fingers are gradually be-
coming less skilled is due to the nu-
merous mechanical appliances which
now carry out the various processes
formerly done by hand.
This state of affairs, since it stunts
the powers of the fingers, also stunts
the brain. The worker does his work
mechanically, unthinkingly, and grad
ually his brain grows torpid and i'm.
