Sure Indications
Of Lung Trouble

Among the Indications OF threatened
Lung Trouble are a continued cough,
fever and night sweats. A change OF
climate often helps, but it seems that
something more Is needed to stop the
cough and sWeats and arrest the pro-
gress of disease Ecknan's Alternative,
after many years of use, Is known to
be most beneficial in bringing about
relief, in many cases complete recov-
cries. Investigate this case:

The Righteousness of so-called ex-

Ethe prisoner is at stake-has often

The latest instance of the absolute
Eunreliability Of these people bobs UP
In he case of Schmidt, the self-con-

New York. When the dismembered

The commission, by its action yes

isl the man who used thousands Of
| gallons in a livery stable, a laundry,
a hotel. etc. was charged less in pro
portion than the man who used a
smaller amount in his home.
Commissioner Jordan, who intro
duced the meter ordinance that was
parsed at its first reading yesterday,
ana who later introduced the resolu-
ton going on RECORD for the Is cent
e price to all consumers, pointed out
that it costs exactly as much per gal
lon to pump the big amount used by
business concerns, as it does per
gallon, to pump to the smaller users.
Why then should the small
be taxed to help out the big on
sumer?
There has been considerable OPP
position to the water meter PROPOSE
ton, expressed In Fargo, and by the
very people that the system will bene-
fit the most-the small consumers.
Fargo has a splendid, and thoroughly
adequate water plant, furnishing the
finest water that Is pumped through
~thesznains Of any city in the entire
northwest But 1t costs money to
produce this kind of water, and the
trouble has been that under the fiat
rate proposition, there has been an
enormous waste. Literally MILLIONS of
gallons have been lost annually by
careless users.
Under the meter system it is be-
1ieved that this waste will be stopped,
which will mean a lowering Of water
consumption, and this will mean a
lowering In the cost of running the
plant. which finally means that the
mar who Is not wasting water will
not have to pay for the nan who
carelessly leaves his tap open 1t fur
Their means. that the small consumer,
will not have to pay part Of the price
that should be paid by the large con-
sumner.
There have been street rumors to
h effect that the Fargo commission
Is so constituted that it would favor
the large business nan at the expense
Of the small taxpayer. The Forum
believes that by their action yester-
day in passing this resolution by
unanimous vote, for the protection of

Rest Unto Your Soul.

The Churchman: It Is mid-August
and the mood of late midsummer with
it's lassitude and weariness has fallen
upon town ana country. Even the
roar of the city streets takes on the
minor key. Houses n whole streets
lie empty, deserted, while their owners
turn to mountain, river and sea in
search Of rest. The tides of my life,
too, are run down. Where shall I go
while they fill their shores again? And
yet, what matters the place where I
go? Shall I find what my soul needs
here rather than there, in white
mountains or green, by inland sea or
ocean or quiet river? What is this
rest I seek? or what would I be cured?

between a new cause of pride and a

BUSINESS MEN PROGRESS.

american business men have taken
three distinct steps forward in late
years. They have discovered thai
they can work together locally for
their individual gain. They have
learned that gain is larger than the
pocketbook. They have come, rather
slowly, to understand that the bust
ness advantage of organizing locally
has its parallel in organizing national
ly. Are they now to learn a fourth
lesson, to take a fourth step?" asks
The Minneapolis Tribune.
The most important of the three
advances already made was second in

ideal and it was probably only half
recognized.

usually poor community advertising,
or to manage a trade excursion. For

who are below the type, were business
problems, not charities.
Are they now to attack these bust
ness problems. on a national scale
Not this year, perhaps, but eventually
yes. The wedge will lie in some
specially close relationship between q
business problem and a social problem
1t may come, for example, in the fact
that the child labor factory has 6
trade lead of 8 or 10 per cen over the
adult labor factory. Such regulation
goes by states. Tennessee will appeal
to the national chamber of commerce
for protection against Alabama. That
day will be the beginning.
Like most progressions in history
these are not linked one after the
other, clearly, distinctly, s~equentially
as in a chain. They are rather like
strands in a cable, one entering before
the others and ending before them
but in it's course going forward out
