Might Apply.

When he left the house Saturday
morning Burton yanked at the door

When he could not open It he started
to grumble until his wife came TO his
assistance.
"What'n blue blazes is the matter

It another powerful yank without be-

American Towns Waking up.

Some districts and sections frankly
recognize their advantages in climate,
scenery and kindred attractions as
n of their chief assets. New Eng.
lsud, more than any other part OF
the country, profits by it's summer
charms, but the Rocky mountain re-
gion is not far behind in that respect.
Florida has long counted upon winter
tourists as one of it's chief sources OF
prosperity.
Cities and districts which have no
exceptional advantages of site or eli
mate. scenery or historic interest, are
finding a lesson worth needing in the
many instances of large profits from
beauty and esthetic charm which the
world affords. They are realizing thai
much civic beauty is the fruit of civic
pride and public spirit. They are
building their public edihces. laying
out their parks and taking care of
their streets with more understanding
than they had in the past of the BUSH
ness wisdom of liberality and breadth
of view in such affairs.
The ultimate consequence OF this
growing consideration of beauty and
charm in the development of urban
centers must color many phases Of ma
tional progress. II is an influence
which spreads and grows stronger,
year by year.

HELPS
MILL VILLAGES IN SOUTH
undenlably Afford Better Conditions
Than the People Encountered
Elsewhere.

In South Carolina 100, 900 persons,
or one-ffth of its white population.
live in cotton mill villages, while in
the counties of Greenville, Spartanburg
and Anderson one-third Of the popula-
ton is in these villages. and the vii
lagos continue to grow.
The South Carolina mill village is
usually a separate community, some
times having a population of over 5000
Inhabitants. 1t is entirely owned and
controlled by the mill, and its resi-
dents have no village corporation OF
any kind.
These villages are built by the mill
arrangements for the simple reason
that their people could not otherwise
be housed near a mill. They attract
much more attention from strangers
than from southerners; for strangers,
seeing in them for the first time the
general poverty and other distressful
conditions of our people, handicapped
as they have been with legacies from
slavery and war, associate these with
the village.
But all Carolinians know, says the
South Atlantic Quarterly, that these
villagers are Of the same stock as
they themselves, being composed as a
class of the less successful. to whom
the mills have offered much better
wages. with better labor and living
conditions, than they had before.
1t is undeniable that South Carolina
mill arrangements, owing to various
causes, come into closer personal
touch with their individual operatives
and feel more interest in them as a
body than do eastern cotton manufac-
turers, md that South Carolina oper-
atives have been benefited by coming
to the mills; that the separate cot
tages of southern mill villages, with
plenty of air and larger grounds, are
better than the city tenements gener-
ally used by such operatives in the
east, and that the village living condi.
tions, as a rule, are steadily improv.

PLANS FOR A MODEL CITY
Changes In the Future-Trunk
Sewers Are Advocated.

How to develop the metropolitan
district has been outlined by the Bos-
ton-1915 directors.
Changes suggested in the trans
portation problem point in every case
to metropolitan improvements TO be
obtained by uniform development.
Rapid transit and steam systems
should make a unified system of pas
senger transportation between all
parts of the district.
"All freight lines should be con
nected with one another and with the
water front. Freight yards should be
distributed to avoid long teamlng
hauls.
THE system of radial thorough
fares should be perfected. The cir
cumferential thoroughfare system
should be completed. All the main
thoroughfares of travel should be of
ample width.
Trunk sewers are advocated. The
existing policy of reserving land and
sites for public buildings should be
continued and perfected, the commit
tee believes. Changes in building
and housing requirements are advo.
Gated, in the belief that the inequali-
ties at present existing discourage in
vesting capital and cause slum condi.
tons in the lax localities ."-Bostor

Has an Old Relic Of Washington.

One of the most interesting relics of
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. II is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with a gift for
p%ortraiture. He studied Washington
when the father OF his country visited
Salem on his tour OF the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the efigy remained from 1907
until 1859, when the arch was taken
down TO give place to an iron fence,
still in use.

How Pat Proved IL,

An Irishman was once serving In a
regiment in India. Not liking the
climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by
which he could get home. Accordingly
he went to the doctor and told him
his eyesight was bad. The doctor
looked at him for a while and then
said:
How car you prove to me that
your eyesight is bad?"
Pat looked about the room and at
last said: We'll. doctor, do ye see
that nail on the WALTZ"
Yes" replied the doctor.

SAVED FROM DANGEROUS OPERA
TIeN--hEIGHB0R ADVISED WHAT
TO DO FOR BLADDER TROUBLE

! too wish to add my testimonial 10 the
thousands you no doubt have, and will
tell you what your great medicine did for
me.
Several months ago / was taken very
sick with bladder trouble, had intense
pains and suffered greatly, at times /
could not stand on my feet or sit in a
chair and often was forced TO cry out
with pain.
l consulted two doctors who gave me
different kinds of medicine, which did me
no good. 1t seemed as though the more
Of their medicine l took, the worse / be-
came. The doctors seemed TO be greatly
puzzled over my case and after holding a
consultation, / was told that / had q
severe case Of Inflammation of the bladder
and an operation was very necessary.
l was being prepared TO be taken to the
hospital, when a neighbor came TO my
house and said, "Nhy don't you try a
bottle Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root?" l
was willing to try anything to get relief
from my suffering. Ny wife bought a bot
tie Of your medicine which l began taking
and soon noticed a change for the better.
l continued taking it and got better right
along, my appetite returned and / was
able to resume work.
l have used several bottles Of Swamp
Root and know that il | had not taken il,
! would have been operated on, and per-
haps never recovered. l never fail to tell
my friends about DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root as l know it will save many people
from suffering and perhaps, as in my
case, a dangerous operation.

Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1911-10-12

The rapid development of northern
Minnesota has attracted the attention
of railroad men, who see in this de-
velopment fertile field for future
profits. A new line passing thru the
north central part of the state to the
northern border is now being talked
of. 1t is the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road that is figuring on an extension
northward to connect with some Can
adam road or roads. This road is al
so contemplating reaching out toward
the south, even to the Gulf of Mexico,
thru traffic arrangements with exist
ing roads or building it's own line. It
is believed that this new line will pass
through Bemidji and east of Red Lake
to Warroad, where connection can be
made with the Canadian Northern.
The 500 and the Great Northern will
not be idle, neither, when they learn
that new road is invading this terri
tory and will probably hasten con-
struction of lines that have been con-
templated for some time.
