PlMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

: "My troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that l could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run My underclothing would be
a clot Of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and | was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed l was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. l was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside Of two weeks
could see and feel a great relief.
kept On using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now | am in good health and

NO HURRY ON FRENCH LINES
Record for Poor Service Surely Is
Held by Railroad Managers OF
That Country.

Naturalization of railroads gets a
very black eye from the French rec
ords this year. During the last sum-
mer the fruit crop failed absolutely
In Germany, and there was great de-
mand on France for this kind OF food.
Brittany and Normandy shipped nj
teen thousand carloads-small "wag-
on trucks"-to Germany. The value
of the fruit, when started, aggregated
s4.250. 000. The average distance from
the fruit growing districts to the
frontier may be put down at about
three hundred and sixty miles. and
the average time taken was two
weeks, though sometimes six weeks
were required. The same wagons and
trucks harnessed to German engines,
were delivered at distances OF from
one hundred and fifty to two hun
dred miles in twenty to thirty-six
hours.
In other words, on the French rail-
way French fruit progressed at the
rate of about tw%enty-fOur miles a day,
whilst, including the customs tormali-
ties, they %quickened up to about one
hundred and seventy miles In the
twenty-tcur hours as 500 as they
changed hands. Dozens Of wagons
never reached their destination at all,
owing to the tickets being defaced
or the chalk scrawl on the panel OF
the truck having been obliterated dur
ing the long pilgrimage. Sometimes
5, sometimes 10, and sometimes ~
per cent. of the fruit was SO damaged
as to be worthless. The result has
been endless litigation, and a loss OF
1925, 900. The Frankfurter Zeitung
from which these figures are taken
remarks that if in time OF peace the
traffic Is so wretchedly managed by
the companies, what will happen in
case of a mobilization?
A traveller on the celebrated West
ern State railway relates how, on re
turning from a holiday in the north
his friends gave him a bag OF beauti
full apples. He registered them, anc
on his arrival at st. LaZare, rendered
his receipt to a clerk. Without ask
ing me any questions the official lee
me to the bicycle depot and told M
to take my own. | thought he wa:
joking. but it TOOK thr~ee-quarters o
an hour to persuade this excellen
functionary, instead of giving M
somebody else's bicycle, to deliver m.
bag OF apples. which naturally wa
found under a heap Of heavy cases
ripped open and crushed"

AhAN
This railroad needs men higher up,
who possess these qualifications. You
are now promoted to the grade Of SUI
pervisor, and may assume your du-
ties at nce And the superintendent
passed the young man an envelope
containing directions regarding his flu
ture duties.
Behind this scene there is a story
which explains 1t all. The young man
having graduated from a school of en-
cheering, applied for work with the
railroad company. Not being able to
obtain such a position as he desired.
he accepted work as a track hand.
His knowledge and his skill soon
made him a section foreman. and his
work had frequently been praised by
his superiors. AS he was attending to
his ordinary duties one day, he no.
ticed a freight train and a passenger
approaching each other on the same
track. Almost at the moment, he
heard the shrill whistles of the loco
motives. Not hesitating a second he
ran as fast as he could to a switch,
opened 1t and threw the passenger
train onto the siding, just averting a
collision. AS he stood at the switch
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1912-02-09

between the two trains, the superin-
tendent of the road, whose car was at
tacbed to the passenger train, walked
up to him and asked him his name
and his business on the road. He
complimented him on his presence OF
mind, telling him that he had done the
right thing at the right time.
How many young men do the right
thing at the right time? How many
who really know what to do in emer-
gencies, hesitate and debate. some
times until it is too late? How many
more realize after 1t is all over. what
they should have done under the cir
c~umstances.
Between the few and the many
there is a wide difference in mental
makeup, a wide difference Of valne to
themselves, and to those who may en-
ploy them. And this difference of val
ne may at any time mean much more
than can be estimated. This young
section foreman's prompt action I'M
doubted1y saved thousands of dollars
of property and possibly many lives.
This Is why the young mar who
knows what to do when action is need
ed, gains preference over his fellows.
This story ought to bring home to
every young man who reads it these
questions: Am | a young man who
does the right thing at the right time?
If | am not, how may | become one OF
the few who do the right things at the
right times?" The first part of the
question must be answered by the
young man himself. The second part
Is we'll answered by Henry Van Dyke
in one of his talks to the students OF
Princeton university. Mr.. Van Dyke
said: There is no young man before
me who is not able, through careful
mental training and development. te
become alert. decisive, and cour
e who is not able to acquire the
habit of thinking straight and actins
quick. It's all a matter of s~elf-devel
opment aided, Of course, by the train
ing that you may receive in an insti
tuition of this kind" And better thar
any university is the school of expert
ence which is open to every young
man, a school whose lessons are never
theoretical, but always practical.

said Representative Mann, the minor
'ty leader OF the house, apropos OF a
POLITICAL squabble. 1t reminds me OF
young links.
Late one night young Jinks sat IN
= crowded trolley car, and, when a
girl he knew got aboard and stood
directly in front Of him, he made no
ign. His face hidden by his news
paper, he pretended that he didn't
know the girl would nike to have his

After a while she spoke.
"'Good evening, Mr.. Jinks.'
"'Why, good evening
1--WE been to the Primrose social
aance.'
Indeed
Then, after a pause, she added:
Its a wonder, Mr.. links, you
wouldn't offer me your seat
links then got up He was yer,
angry. He said, as he hooked himself
to a strap:

Record Speed.

The Baroness Rose Posse declared,
at a luncheon in Cambridge, that cor

And they who say that corsets are

oness, smiling. ARE as far from the

"A railroad man, you know. was
Boosting about the speed of the trains

I'VE go so fast he said, that bells
and whistles are no use-the train
keeps ahead of the sound.
Once, four miles away on a

saw a wagon. He whistled and rang

it vas useless-the next instant we
We're on the wagon-crash, bang-a

The engineer, poor fellow, was
killed. But the CHASTITY thing about
the accident was this: AS the engineer
lay dead on the roadside. his voice
caught him up. Yes, sir, there he
lay, dead. and all around him sound
ed in chorus his own oaths and yells
that he had used-just a minute be

No Chance to Pay Dividends,

In view OF the fact that it costs the
Railway Valley railroad s25 a day to
operate and It's gross receipts are
only $40, the public. utilities commits
sion has granted al increase OF rates
that will bring the income and the
outgo more nearly together, says a
dispatch from Summit, N. j. Commu-
tation rates have been Increased by
IS cents and tifty-trip tickets $3.50 be-
tween Kenilworth. q OF the stations
on the road, and Bayonne. which is
reached over the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey. Nobody appeared at the
hearing to make objection.
The Railway Valley line enjoys the
reputation of being the shortest in
the country. IT connects Summit with
Aldene and the Central Railroad. The
whole road is only eight miles long.
Although the communication rate is
over two roads, the Central gives-the
full increase in rates to the shorter
line.

HOUSEWORK Is A HEAVY BURDEN

Tho woman who keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
