that have been undertaken.
We may call this selfishness. but
that is not quite the term for it. for
%selfshness is usually understood to inn
ply something low and mean and re-
prehensible. The activities mentioned
have not these qualities. They are
big, and broad and generous. They
are undertaken primarily because they
will contribute to the welfare Of those
who have undertaken them. but that
is merely following the policy Of en-
l%ightenment. and is by no means to be
censured. More power to every
movement which includes a recogni-
tion that all we are brethren.

sat down to practice before her first
pupil should arrive. The notes swan
before her blurred eyes and her voice
was thick. How was she ever to teach
all day, and all the morrow, and all
the endless morrows which should be
only repetitions of this sorrowful
morning?
The door bell rang upon the arriv-
al of her first pupil. She cleared her
face and went to open the door. But
upon the threshold stood not a young
girl with a music roll. but Eric
knight!
He stepped in, quickly and faced
her.. The hall was dim but not quite
dim enough. She wished. there had
beer some black shadow for her to
hide her w%oebegone looks in.

Single TAN EXPENDITURE.

A Boston mar who is greatly inter.
ested in the single tax idea has estah-
lished a colony at a little suburb about
thirty miles from Boston for the pur-
pose of giving a practical demonstra-
tion of the value of the single tax. He
bought the land on which the settle-
ment stands, turned it over to trustees
with instructions to sell none of it. but
to rent on long time leases. full rental
value being collected, and the rent
project says that personal property
taxes are not levied the entire tax be-
ing paid out Of the receipts from rem
tails. Full explanations Of the method
Of arranging for the state and other
general taxes are not given. but it il
to be supposed that the plan is similar
to that employed in another single tax
colony which was established in the
south a few years ago. and in which
all taxes. real and personal, were paid
on the basis provided under the state
law. with the difference that the
amount of all taxes colectable in the
community were totaled. and the total
was levied by the community itself
against its land, the distribution being
made on the basis Of rental value.
The trouble with experiments such
as these is that they are too local ever
to demonstrate very much. The people
who are members of such communities
are SO because. in the first place. they
are in favor Of the scheme which the
community is organized to exploit.
They are assembled to demonstrate
what they believe to be a truth, and
not brought together in the ordinary
curse of industrial. commercial and
professional life. The communities are,
therefore abnormal. and when it is de-
sired to demonstrate the value of a
political or economic principle it
should be observed working in normal
communities.
A much better experiment., and one
whose results should be more conclu-
sive, is being carried on in the Cana
dian northwest. There the single tax,
either wholly or in part, is in opera
ton. not as a philanthropic expert
ment. nor particularly as a means of
education. but as a simple business
proposition. applied by business men
as an economic act Of wisdom, and
working in communities whose bust
ness is not that of demonstrating the
value Of this or that system Of taxa
ton. but of making a living in the best
way. and of distributing the burdens
OF taxation in the most equitable man.
ner. We should. before long. be able
to reach some useful conclusions as a
result of the experiment now going on
in the north.

COMMUNITY OF rEREs

The action of the American Meat
Packers association in appropriating
a large sum Of money for the purpose
Of stimulating the raising of cattle is
another evidence Of the fact that all
over the land there is growing a better
recognition of the community of in
forest which exists, of the fact that
there are points where the interests
Of the farmer, the merchant, the
packer. the manufacturer and others
touch.
The modern conception of the func-
ton Of the banker is not by any
what It was a few years ago. There
Il. today a realization that banker and
customer have great interests in COM
mon, and the bankers Of the country
have shown in a hundred ways of late
that they are coming to a better un-
derstandinE Of this. and that they feel
that they have a service to perform to
yand for their customers which is alto
Tether outside Of the mere loaning Of
money at 4 stated rate Of interest.
The principal business Of the Inter-
national Harvester company is the
manufacture and sale Of agricultural
machinery. The more prosperous the
farmers are the more machinery they
can and will buy. Hence 1t is to the
interest OF h Harvester company that
the farmer shall be highly prosperous.
This has led the company to expend
an immense sum Of money in the work
OF education and development which
II has undertaken. and which is bound

OF the farming business.
The railroad needs the farmers bus

dends for its owners. Therefore the

consumer. This explains the sharing

THE PROSPEROUS NORTHWEST.

Commercial West: The general
movement in financial matters now
appears to be we'll defined and shows
\ gradual Improvement. The business
situation as reflected in the worlds
leading centers, New York, London.
and Paris, indicates much more con-
fdence. with prices of securities on the
up grade.
The downward trend in prices seems
to have reached its low level last May
and since then the tendency has been

ing quotations on first class dividend
paying securities. According to the
general law Of averages. as shown in
the swing Of prices. there should be
m upward movement for the next
three years. OF course, such a swing
Is simply the normal tide and may
be interefered with by many disturb
ing elements or unusual happenings
in the world Of business or the realm
Of politics. But general money-marlSet
conditions. both at nome n abroad,
are such that the conservative investor
may now proceed with much more
confidence than for the past year or
more.
The one thing still essential to re-
store full courage and confidence is to
have some settlement, either by o n

business will proceed with all the vim
and energy needful for a normal &C.

The enactment of the new tariff law
clears the air in manufacturing lines,
and mill owners and Merchants may
now go ahead and contract for new
business, unhindered by the uncertain
ty that has checked buying for the
past year. They need not wait for the
revision of our currency and banking
laws, ever though President Wilson
seems to think the new tariff law
makes currency reform imperative.

proved.
The situation in the northwest is
sound and prospects bright for a good
business this fall and winter. With
crops generally good and prices fair
for farm products. business in all lines
should move ahead with satisfactory
returns to producers and distributors.
The money market remains firm,
with rates around six per cent. which
indicates ample credit for commercial
lines even IL there is no great induce
ment for speculative ventures. Bank
ers here in the northwest are not ask
ing TO rany part of the special CROP
moving fund from Secretary McAdoo's
department., but find the usual banking
facilities equal to present demands.
Bank clearings of the twin cities for
the past eight months foot up a trife
over one billion. one hundred million
dollars. the largest totals ever record
ed, with four months Of the heaviest
business yet to come.
While nothing beyond healthful
pace is to be looked for in northwest
ern business. the consensus of opinion
is that the northwest is about az COM
Portable in its sound prosperity as any
part Of the United States.

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
II Your Back Hurts or Bladder Both.
ers You, Drink Lots
Of Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild harmless salts which
removes the bodys urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tiyity The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful efferves.
cent lithia-water drink which every,
one should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what be-
came of your kidney trouble and back
ache.
