USE OF ALUMlNUM VESSELS
Scientific Investigation Shows That the Metal Has Many Advantages
 Over Other klnds.

Now that aluminium utensils are coming into use 1t will be interest," ing to note the following experi- ments made by Prof. John Glaistor of the Glasgow university, his object being to find whether various ali ments were likely to attack the metal. He finds that the only substances that attack the surface are oranges, lemons, brussels sprouts and toma- toes, but even in this case the quan- ,ity of aluminium dissolved is insig- liiicant and quite inofTeDsivc.
 It Is already known that alumni nun Is not affected by air at any temperature and it does not bIacken on contact with hydrogen sulphide as silver does. As the metal is easily cleaned 1t appears that such utensils have all the advantages and all kinds of foods can be prepared in them without danger.
 Another advantage that they share with copper vessels is that, being of thin metal, they heat up very quick ly. For electric or flame heaters this means quite an economy of heat, as less heat is now lost in warming up the material of the vessel This re- fers specially to rapid heating, such as boiling of water and the like Scientific American.

WHERE BUSYMAN HOST OUT"
Active Elsewhere, He Was Never at Home When Opportunity Came
 to Pay Him a Visit.

Lazyman, Contentedman and Busyman lived together in the same house. One day, when only Lazy man and Contentedman were at home, Opportunity knocked.
 As Lazyman made not the slight est move 10 go to the door Contentcd- man went and opened it.
 Il am Opportunity" said the vis- itor, "and 1 have something very wonderful for you"
 Lazyman yawned and said noth- ing.
 Contentedman courteously ex- plained that he was not interested, for the very good reason that he had everything he wanted.
 T believe Busyman also lives here," said Opportunity. "Where is he? l know he would be glad to see me-"
 Indeed he would, but he's out. He's always busy running around. You're not the first Opportunity that he's missed. Opportunities have been knocking here regularly for years, but he's never at home. I tell him it doesn't pay to be so busy"
 Opportunity walked away with de- iected mien.-Iifc.

FOR HOW LONG

Prescott Raises A Pertinent Question
 When a neighbor tells us Chat he has recovered from serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, How long will he keep welt? Tem- porary relief is one thing, but lasting cure is altogether different. There Is nothing temporary about the work Of Deans Kidney Fills as the following evid -nce proves beyond touqt
 ". k. White, k Main St Prescott Ark, says: "I had been troubled off and on for years by lameness and stiff ness across my kidneys. had dull heavy ache through my iolns and other kidney diso, d ITS. This induced me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. got a noX of this remedy at lIesterly Drug Store and found it to be suited to my case. l improved rapidly and it was not long before l was in good health.

he should have in the shop ard now they should be run. and still another settled what he should get for shoeing a horse all round how much for sharpening shoes,
 how much for putting toe weight on a trotting horse and how muef
 for putting new tires on a wag on, Say that another determin. ed what kind of iron and steel h. should put into each job. Thel let us suppose that he had to hire his helper from a union and pa! union wages and to buy his mat erials, wages and prices for worl
 were regulated, each without an:
 relation to the rest. How long would the blacksmith last?
 This Is the situation of tn, railroads. The tax officials oi the several counties in Missouri say what their taxes shall be. All railroad labor is strongly un. ionized and from time to time the unions raise the wages. There are laws and regulations of both the State and the nation which fix the kind of rolling stock the roads must use. how many hours they may work their men and how they must operate their trains. And the price of the only thing the road has to sell, transportation settled by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sioon, by the maximum fare law S of Missouri and other States, and by theirraiIroad commission also
 Now and this is the final ard csowning absurdity - there isnc machinery provided for connect ing up these various kinds Of con. trol so that they shall be exercis- ed with relation to each other. There is nothing tosaprevent a State Legislature from passing q maximum fare law. which will lower the income of a road at a time when ties, rails, engines and cars are coming up in the market, when the unions are se- curing a trainmen'ss s.wage in- crease of 10 per cent and a winter of heavy snows is just merging in to a spring of floods. to be fol- lowed by summer drouth, which will cut down revenue from all products of the farm and garden.
 Sensible rational Government control would automatically ad- just railroad income to changes in necessary railroad expense. The kind of control we have now is unjust and idiotic and would drive blacksmith or a corner grocery into insolvency just as surely as it is driving the rail- roads.

CONTROL APPLIED IDIOTlCALLY

He VI uNitl diiilNhihS VI hA'' O"1N management in the United States in these days does not lie in the fact of government control. 1t lies in the fact that the power of the government to control rall- reads has been applied with no reference whatever to the funda- mental conditions of business sol vency.
 There is no mystery about these conditions. They are sim plicity itself and they are the same for a country blacksmith shop as for the Pennsylvania Railroad
 The blacksmith has to reckon with the cost of iron and steel, the expense for rent, fuel. help er's wages, taxes, etc. and the price he can get for horseshoeing carriage and auto repairs, wag- on work and the like The mar gin between what he can get for his work. on the one side, and what he has to pay out for mat erials. labor and general business expense on the other measures his profits.
 Now so long as none of these three things changes much the caaAge such as they are, only affect the amount of the Erofits. Bar iron may go up or down d dollar a ton; he may may be for ced by competition to increas the amount of work done on ; wagon for a given sum; coal may rise in price; helpers wages may rise or fall 25 cents on the day. All these things mean that the blacksmith makes a littlemore or q little less in short, the fleX ible place where the readjuSt ment is made is in the field o profits. But # the increase in his expenses or the lowering of his income pas. q certain point, chen it is rcccssary to make c nanges somewhere else, if the blacksmith is to keep out of the hands of the Sheriff. If iron goes up beyond d certain figure be must reduce general expenses or get more for his work. If helpers wages increase beyond d certain amount he must either find cheaper material or charge more for his services. If the price that he can get for shoelng a horse goes below a certain point he must reduce general eX- pense or reduce the cost of mat erials used. After changes in the price of what he has to buy and what he has to sell exceed the limits that he can meet out of his profits he must be able to change his income as his expense changes or change his expense at his income changes.
 Now suppose you could fix that blacksmith so that while he was still exposed to all the haz ards of trade in the ilcre ase of wages, the increase of price of iron and the diminution in the price of blacksmith work, he could never change the price of anything connected with his own business or regulate it's expense In that case he would be situat- ed just as the railroads are,
 Suppose everything connected
 with the blacksmith's business
