FIND A MEERsCHAUM MINE
min raI Is Dug Up in New Mexico ana
Shipped to Manufacturers in
New York,

There is only one meerschaum
mine in this country. Up to a year
ago there might as we'll have been
none at all. About five years ago
company formed 70 take over the
mine declared confidently that IT. was
going TO make meerschaum pipes out

be occupied very soon. At present
the work has grown to such Il point
that the walls OF the small factory
over on the East Side. New York, are
bullying worse every day.
In the small building they can turr
out only about thirty-tive gross OF
pipes day. This totals, however,
more than 100000 pipes a year.
which would seem enough to supply
every pipe smoker in the country. But
the new plant will turn out 100 gross
day. One OF the orders ilourlshed
so proudly by the manufacturer IS
for 800 gross and came from a Boston
dealer
There is only one other meef'
schanm mine in the world. AT least
nobody knows OF any other. That one
is in Asia Minor and supplied the ma
ferial for all the meerSchaum pipes
made up 10 a year ago. The Amer
lean mine is about thirty miles from
Silver City, y. NJ.

Rarely is it accomplished in any other
method than that of scaling ladders.

when anyone but AL Porch makes the

|. The industrial world sadly needs
transformation. Nothing less can make
it what it ought to be. Nothing less
can cure the many ills, industrial as
we'll as the broadly social ones, from
which it is suffering now. How pitt
fully small in comparison are all
those mechanical schemes OF educa,

organization. taxation, public control
and all the rest. Some little GOOD

ton, most will be doue.
Ii is now 80 years since John Lalor
published his forgotten book. Money
and Morals In it he said: The
pretension, however, that the indus
trial arrangements to which England
is liable may be cured either by leg
siaiion or by any changes in our
social mechanism, must be condemned
ia the same sentence with the nos
trlIm of the Quack. The source OF me
disorder lies in the highest, that is. IN
the moral nature OF man. which. II u
is not raised and ennobled in proper
ton to the advance which he makes
in wealth and intelligence. must cot
tinually produce more and more lear
full varieties Of Reorganization. Inc
effective remedy. therefore. can be
only a moral one II must be some
thing which shall touch the deepest
sources Of moral life in the nation.
which shall make high thoughts anu
generous aims more common. and
shall subordinate the all-engroSSine
passion for wealth to the nobler lnsplra,
tons Of the soul Whether there be
any such remedy, and how II can
come into action, must remain Tor
after consideration. Here il must sllf
fee TO mark the fact that The fearful
social ills OF which the de!neaiion
has been attempted. may possibly ne

There Wera words uf great wisdom
then, and the? are none the less wise
nov. But is there any possibility Of
such . remedy as Lalor hints al? J
believe that there IS, unless God l.

he las brought into being. The rem
edy. in the business relations which
have mostly engaged our attention as
in all other social relations. can be
found only in transformation Of So
cial morals, Of social standards and
social practices. And the word has
no evidence that such transforma-
lion can come except under the super
natural sanctions Of religion. But the
Christian religion. unless it is TO be
rejected as impra cticable, may be our
hope. 1t can change this dark world
into an abode OF life, bright and fair
beyond our present highest concep-
lions. There has never been another
social force as powerful IS religious

THE NOSE A FILTER
TO STRAIN THE AIR

The nostrils are perfect "air Al
ters' and, when kept In clean,
healthy state, strain every bit of air
we breathe, catching all dust parti-
cles, foreign matter and germs. The
air Is full of germs. You cannot
dodge them, but you can safeguard
yourself against catarrh and other
diseases contracted in the process of
breathing by keeping the nostrils
clean and healthy. Catarrh germs
will sometimes get in their work,
and you may mistake the symptoms
for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have q stuffed up feeling in the
head, or If your throat is sore or
filled with phlegm, just grease the
nostrils with a little Ely's Cream
Balm, draw the pure, aromatic
fumes back In the head, and you
Will be astonished at the effect. In
a few minutes you viii feel a loo.-
ening up in the head, the nasty dis
charge will soon be stopped, the
! soreness gone, and you will feel a
sense of genuine relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards
off catarrh, but will quickly cure
even a chronic, l~ongstanding case of
catarrh. 1t takes the trouble right
where 1t starts, in the nose and
throat, cleanses, heals II strength
ems the raw, sore inside skin, or
membrane, and in this way drives
out catarrh and makes you proof
against this filthy, disgusting dis
ease.
Summer Colds, which often hang
on for weeks, can be quickly cured
| with this cleansing, healing, anti
septic balm. All druggists sell it
for Nifty cents a bottle, and the one
| bottle is generally all that Is needed
to effect a complete cure. Try it
