MALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE
Always Answered,


 Children often are highly logical, though not quite in the adult manner. They attain conclusions by those proc esses of pure reason' which, being quite unbiased by the opinions of others, sometimes result in startling truths.
 Almost everybody, for instance, has heard of the little lad who, listening to the questions of an irreligious friend of the family as to what would happen su1~posing that one good Christian Bh hd pray for an east and another for west wind at sea, innocently an- swered that of course there'd be an awful tempest, but not every one has heard of the equally pertinent and naive solution recently offered by thoughtful youngster for the ever per picking problem of "Are prayers an swered?"
 The child was talking with another, who asked the vexed and puzzling question. explaining at the same time that he didn't believe that prayers were answered, because he never got anything he asked for.
 'You don't pray for the right things" answered little MT. Wiseman. "Of course all prayers are answered, but sometimes the answer is Yes and sometimes it's No "-Chicago Record Herald.

Stafford Springs People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of
 Kidney Disease.

Kidney Disease.
 The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex- crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg lect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright's disease, or is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once Delay often proves fatal
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills Here's Stafford Springs proof:

The Washington times., 1911-10-13

tors sornetimes find II difficult TO keep
the pews full. The lawyer, too, finds
that it is advisable In this complex age
to apply himself to special departments
of the legal science and become cor.
poration lawyer, a criminal lawyer, or
adhere more or less rigidly to one Of
the other branches Of Jurisprudence.
And then, too, on the general grounds
Of the division Of labor he would not
have been 20 useful a member Of &c.
ciety as II he had made his option and
allowed member of two other pro.
fessions to come in and make q living
On the whole, therefore, It is Jus,
as well perhaps that those strong
minded, clear,headed men from Mis-.
souri should have "shown" DR.. Shousf
that while he might practice more thar
one profession at time, ne must en-.
gage in only one Of them on . revenue
basis.

LAW AGAINST MOTORCYCLE
JOY-RIDING.

One of the wisest laws which has yet
been adopted for the regulation Of
traffic in the District is that which
provides that motorcycles and bicycles
which are built to carry only one
person shall not, in fact, carry more
than that number.
The time set for the new law to 90
into effect is today, and all motorcycle
and bicycle riders are therefore warned
to keep themselves within its pro.
visions, under penalty of a fine.
The custom of joy-riding on wheels
which were not intended to carry two
persons had grown up to such an ex,
tent that it was a constant menace
and in fact eliminated in more than
one disaster. Regulation became i'm.
perative, and due notice should be
taken of the fact that the law becomes
operative today.
The Washington times., 1911-10-13
AN EFFORT TO MONOPOLIZE
THE PROFESSIONS.

A limit has been put to the aetivi-
ties and incidentally to the revenue of
at least one Missouri doctor who may
be held up as an example for all time
to come. DR.. Shoush was called in to
attend Mrs. Susan Parks in what PROV
ed to be her last illness. DR.. Shoush
was not only practicing physician,
but was also a minister of the gospel.
When his patient died he not only
joined the ranks of the mcurners, but
slipping easily into his ecclesiastical
profession actually preached the funeral
sermon.
All of this might have been not
only perfectly regular but actually
eommendable except for the fact that
when he rendered his bill he not only
charged for his medical services but
inserted an item of $40 for preaching
the funeral sermon.
The administrator of the estate OBJ
jected to the latter item, carried the
question into the courts, and a jury
of the vicinage decided that the doctor
preacher could not collect for the
services rendered after the death of the
patient.
The one mistake he appears to have
made was in neglecting to qualify for
the bar along with his other profes-
sions. In that event it may be sup
posed that he would have known how
to conduct his case in such manner
that he would not have lost out. He
would have been able to engross prac-
tically the entire estate of the de-
ceased into his own hands. With medi-
cine, the law, and the gospel as bis
professions he would have been able 70
attend his client-parishioner- patients
from the cradle to the grave.
Of course it is quite possible that
he would not have been able entirely
to master any one of those professions.
The general practitioner of medicine
finds it difficult to keep abreast with
modern discoveries, and thus this has
become the age OF the specialist. Pas.

CHILDREN HAVE RIGHT
TO SKATE ON STREETS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Alas for the rarity of Christian char
ity under the sun. That was the thought
that struck me after reading Mere
Pedestrians's" violent outburst against
the young skaters whom he seems to
grudge the very name of children. He
might, I presume, have signed himself
bachelor" or "erana" with equal ac-
curacy.
Was he ever a boy Did he ever ex-
perience any of the naturally exuberant
spirits that animate every healthy
child? 1t Is unfortunate, of course, that
all children cannot go to the country Tor
fresh air and healthy sports, but those
that cannot surely have some rights on
the streets, subject to the control OF the
law and police regulations. In the
light of my own experience and that OF
my friends the facts as stated seem
greatly exaggerated. The streets are
by no means given over to skaters
whom the pedestrian, with less Nutn
and less courtesy than is usually ex.
hibited by such an ardent devotee OF

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
see in your issue Of October Q and
also in the Star Of October 10 that Com
missioner Rudolph made the announce
ment that ''only those employees Of the
District who are personally known to
one or more Of the Commissioners to
be meritorious would be recommended
In the estimates for an increase In pay"
Now, from the very nature of the case
1t Is impossible for more than a very
small proportion of the employees of the
District to be personally known to one
or more Of the Commissioners" SO from
the above statement, II correct, 1t would
appear, as II does to me, and several
others with whom have talked, that
only the personal friends or favorttes
of the Commissioners may expect recog-
niti6n, however faithful or meritorious
others may be unless they are per-
sonally known to one or more of the
Commissioners. 1t strikes me that this
Is very poor way to encourage the en-
ployes of the several departments to
put forth their best efforts in their sew
eral positions, as they will know they
have no hope of advance in their now
meager pay, unless they have the pull
OF being personally known to one or
more OF the Commissioners.
Very respectfully,
d. C. EMPLOYE.
