A man living at Auburn, New

and bladder trouble. Being a work

nor run up a heavy Doctors bill, he
cured himself completely by using
Foley Kidney Pills. A year later he
says:-"It is a pleasure to report
that the cure was permanent" He
has had no return whatever of the
pain, backache and burning. His
name is J. A. Farmer, and he says:

Best Way to Rest.

Sometime the best way to work is
to take a few hours of relaxation be-
fore plunging into troublesome duties.
1t is impossible to rest unless there
peace in ones heart and soul.
A trouble worried brain disturbs
the entire physical forces, making one
incapable of work or ones best eff.
forts.
There is a great difference between
the naturally lazy person and one who
knows the need of rest. One cannot
find pleasure in rest unless one works,
for otherwise there is no contrast. It's
like eating when one isn't hungry No
hurried, Hurried, fussy woman can
ever be beautiful.

agents who DO not intend to bind
themselves, personally, by only their
principals. Do not sign John
Jones, Agent for Samuel Smith. +"
for that will make John Jones per-
sonally liable; but sign Samuel
Smith, by John Jones, Agent" A
somewhat different rule prevails in
the case of public officers for one
acting in a public capacity may sign
his own name as officer end bind
his principals and not himself.
The notes of corporations and
partnerships are signed by an officer
or agent of the corporation or men,
Der of the partnership in the name
of the company. A representative
or partner who is held out to the
world as having authority to sign
notes, may bind the company even
though he may have conceded his
authority. So if you are a partner,
be cautious of the public authority
that is given, really or apparently,
to a partner whom you do not trust
absolutely.

THE INSULAR VIEW OF 1T.

DR.. Walter Hines Page, the new United States am
bassador landed in Liverpool on Saturday morning, and
was welcomed Euston by the staff of the embassy on
is arrival in London in the afternoon. Owing to the
continuance of nggardly policy for which Congress Is
primarily responsible the new ambassador is for the
moment without permanent residence and has taken
I'D temporary quarters at the Coburg Hotel.-London
Spectator
How can one keep patience with thing like
this? Our spirit of pure Jeffersonian simplicity,
our longing to live up to the demagogue's happy
picture of democracy shabby genteel but honest, is
distorted into ordinary, selfish "nggardly policy y
Let the Spectator turn to the files of its Amer
ican exchanges of only two months back 1t will
find that our disapproval of diplomatic palaces is
so great that we actually frown upon the appoint
ment of any man as an American ambassador who
could possibly afford to hire one on his own account
country cannot be called niggardy that refuses for
consciences sake even to have representatives who
can relieve it of its apparent disgrace Foolish we
are; self-complacent and given to claptrappiness
also. But not "niggardly,' we beg of you.

LIGHT ON LOBBY FUNCTIONS.

Fixing up statistics for statesmen to in their
addresses, compiling data" preparing briefs, and
even writing speeches, appear to be among the oc-
cupations of lobbyists in Washington. Genuine
interest attaches to the development Of these facts
through the publication of the correspondence of
g-time and expert member of the craft.
Also one of the functions of the "compleat lob
byist' would seem to be to induce members of Con-
gress to make speeches at the right time, on the right
subject, o. the right sort.
1t is plain that if the lobbyist can induce" the
making of speech and then can secure to himself
the assignment prepare the charts, statistics etc.
he must be good lobbyist statesman, of course,
might make bungng of data" thus accommo-
datngly prepared for him; so it turns out that get
ting up brief of the subject, or even preparing
the matter of the address, is further development
of the system. This latter plan, of having the lobby
ist prepare the entire speech, would seem the most
satisfactory Then he will be perfectly certain of
getting into the Record precisely what he wants.
Without the slightest disposition to criticise gen.
tlemen who thus amiaby provide impartial facts
figures, and arguments for public men, there is a
feeling that the lobby owes something to the literary
quality, the human interest aspect of the Congress
siona Record. proper training for lobbyists would
for instance equip them to work in little more
humor to freshen up the dope trhe. There is the
title trick of sprinkng paragraphs through the stuff
which makes it look snappy and pungent, attracts
the readers eye, and never fails to increase the
reaction.
We feel sure that if the obbies will consider
these suggestions in preparing future editions of the
Record, they will be we'll pleased with results
that they will come back for more.

FOR AN UPLIFTED FOURTH.

The safe and sane Fourth of July, with denatured
fireworks, cannon crackers, fewer confagratlons,
no lockjaw, and vastly reduced death list, is re-
ported to have been fine for the fire and accident in
surance companies but rather lacking in interest.
Safety and sanity pretty we'll established through
out the country now. Few towns consider that it IS
necessary to burn up the barns or blow the fingers
off half the juvenile element, in order to testify to
their gratitude that the immortal document was
signed. The newspaper columns do not report the
celebration as if they giving the casualty list
of charge at Gettysburg pleasure trip over the
New Haven railroad
All this is excellent so far as it goes But there
have been suggestions of complaint that nothing bet
ter has been substituted for the old-time ebuiton
of patriotic enthusiasm The Fourth of July ought to
be in some wise occasion for inspiration of pa
triotic sentiments. There has been too much DISPOSE
ton to make nationwide athletic field meet out of
Memorial Day, and to turn the national natal ami
versary into day of family picncs and excursions,
without thought of the sentiments that on that day
might we'll be expected to receive some impetus.
These are among the reasons why the efforts
Of the joint committee in charge of arrangements for
this years observances IN Washington deserving
of special support Ii is proposed to have pageant
in which several thousand children, especially CO.'S
TUNED, will take part, with tableaux symbolic repre-
sentatons, and the like. Altogether the project
seems most admirable one. That it should succeed
this year is particularly important because in the
matter of observing this anniversary the whole
try is at turning point. Such a celebration as is
proposed to be given in Washington might very
easily provide an impulse idea, and an inspiration
that spreading to the country would turn this occa-
sion into ideal for the cultivation of the better
and higher sentiments of real and effective pa
triotism

TO THE END-SEAT HOGS.

You, gentle reader, are an end-seat hog, though
perchance without the courage of your hoggishness
We all prefer to keep that comfortable outside seat
Wherefore a suggestion for the common benefit:
There are two ends of every seat. The inside
end is rather preferable, because, once you are In
it, nobody will be climbing you. When you
leave it, you will climb over the intermediate Sit
tiers, which is really less uncomfortable than to have
them climb over you, as they must do if you occupy
the outside end.
If end-seat hogs would learn that the inside-end
seat is just as desirable a prize as the other, ii
would reduce by just about half the discomfort OF
adjusting to- conditions which are imposed upon
everybody by reason of eveybody's hoggishness.

ANOTHER TRUST SUIT.

Proceedings to dissolve the Eastman Kodak CON-
pany were about as inevitable anything could be.
Possibly not child that is beginning photography
has failed to learn its first lesson in the meaning of
the word trust from the differentiation between
the dealers that sell Eastman supplies and the out
sders And to older colleagues the history of those
outsiders is very familiar. 1t is almost invariably
short history And those who manage to survive
have usually ended up by not being outsiders at ALL
They have gone in.
The competition has been ruthless. But there's
another side to the question, too 1t is noteworthy
fact that nowhere in the world have other manufactur
ers been able to hold their against the big fel
low on the basis of merit alone. The kodak, and
ali the kodak accessories have first place everywhere
1t was the pioneer in amateur photography, in the first
place; it has been the pioneer in Improvements. Few
other concerns are there that to compete, have not
had to borrow, and to borrow they have either had
to let themselves become absorbed or at least to
enter into trade. agreements limiting their scope of
activity.
The point is this: Here a firm that by its
aggressiveness, efficiency, initiative and the merit
of its products was bound to become the big busi-
ness willy-nilly. What pity it is that it could not
have attained its logical goal by those methods alone!
Perhaps it has reached it by the methods fol-
lowed But it has in all likelihood sacrificed its best
future in its haste
The ways of trusts are not always either the
wsest or, in the long run, the most profitable.
