There is no standard or market
price for any sort of country produce
offered for sale on the streets. Ev
cry man asks as much as he thinks
he can get and the consequence some
receive too much and others too lit
tie. The current prices of turkeys
sold on the street today illustrates the
point The prices asked ranged from
l3 cents "A pound TO 20 cents. Few
sold as low as thirteen cents and few,
if any. received as much as twenty
cents. A curb market. or Il regular
market house. for the sale of country
produce would remedy this condition
by bringing sellers and buyers togeth-
er and prices would automatically'
regulate themselves in accordance
with the season and the abundance or
scarcity of the supply.

balked at the corner of Liberty and
Washington streets and it was ten or
fifteen minutes before it could he

turn around and continue to the fire
for some time.

Last night about 10 o'clock the T..
wagons were called out by an ;..r.,
from the box at the corner of Main
and Bartlette streets, but upon their
arrival there they failed to locate the
IRE Tor sometime, finally finding that
it was out at Hoyt's heights, outside
OF the city limits. The fire was said
to be a small one with little damage
done.
This morning about 10 o'clock the
hose wagons were again called out.
this time to fire at house on
Council street. A small blaze was
found on the roof and was quickly en-
| tinguished with small damage tc the
house.
The third fire was on Purdy street,
when two small houses owned by
Maggie Singleton, colored, were
burned, one being destroyed and the
other having the roof burned off. Both
were insured and practically all of
the furniture was saved. The fire
caught in the roof Of one of the houses
occupied by Maggie Singleton and was
burning fiercely. The two adjacent
houses caught several times, but by
hard work the fire department for a
time endeavored to save each from
the flames, but finally they broke o.t
over the whole roof of the house oc-
cupied by George Singleton anG the
roof was practically burned off.

WHERE GERMAN CITIES EXCEL
Count von Bernstorff Tells of the Pub lie Spirit Which Has Brought
 Them Advantages.

Count von Bernstorff, German ann bassador to the United States. recent ly spoke before the Women's Civic league of Baltimore on Government of German Cities"
 The usual form of government ip a German city, he said, was council, which elected an ober burgomeister and two assistant burgomeisters, or city managers. The position of the first was practically life position if he were satisfactory, although he was reelected at long intervals.
 Speaking of the old city of Frank fort, County Bernstorff described how 1t had grown. Streets, he said, are not laid out by private enterprise, but by the action of the city council. The council also regulates buildings in the various sections of the town and for bids that there shall be more than a certain proportion of the land built upon, so that there may be sufficient open spaces.
 Within the last ten years, he de- clared, Frankfort had expended more than $50,OO0,O00 in the purchase of land in the city and outside of it, so that at present the city owns 16,650 acres, $500 of which are outside of the city limits. Owning this land. the city regulates it's growth as seems best, builds model homes for workmen, constructs parks and playgrounds, and builds schools. colleges, museums and the like.
 "The workmen's insurance laws" said the speaker, "have had great in- fiuence on the German cities in getting a strong impetus which led to the cre- ation of many useful municipal institu- tions"
 Leipzig, he said, was devoting come of the land held by the city for build ing suitable homes for the poor, and the insurance companies were making loans for building workingmen's cot tages.

FOR HOW LONG?
Brinkley Raises a Pertinent
 Question.

When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, How long will he keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but a lasting cure is altogether different. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the following Brinkley evi- dence proves beyonh a~doubt.
 Miss F. Vineyafd, / Brinkley, Ark, says;"Th he>statement giv- en by one of n1y family for publi- cation sef6e years ago recom- mending Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good and I cheerfully confirm it. 1 have been per manently cured of kidney trouble by Doan's Kidney Pills, and I gladly endorse them in view of what they have done for me-"
 Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Miss Vineyard had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

1t is not unlawful to take another name than your own, but unless you comply with the requirements in the statutes the name you have taken will be only an alias. There is legal meth cd of changing your name, and in regard to the best way to go about this one would better consult a lawyer or the county judge or some attache of his court.

Furth, Bavarian city of 10000 pop ulation, suburb of the city of Nurem- berg, has had in operation for more than two years a municipal garbage incineration plant that is regarded as a model of its kind, and which, in con- nection with modern system of garb- age collection, makes the disposal of garbage of this city not only the least offensive and most sanitary possible, but also a matter of actual. although small, profit to the municipality.

The handsomest American uniform is unquestionably that of the First city troop of Philadelphia. It is re- lated of certain Trooper Riddle. who is particularly handsome, that as he clanked down Walnut street one day in his long and lustrous boots, white doeskin brooches and glittering helm, a pretty young Irish parlor maid was heard to say to the butler: "Shure, an I'd like to pawn him now!"

Ex.Brinkley Man Writes on Booze, From North
 Carolina

Greensboro, N. C., ,214, 1914.
 Editor Argus:
 Today l heard a man dis cuss the Bible as a factor in modem civilization. It was not a learn ed address. In fact, he scarcely made an address at all, his re- marks dealing almost altogether with the history of our ancestors and the translations of the Bible into, first, the Latin and, later, the English language. To those who have studied the philosophy of our civilization, it was plainly evident that he gave us simply a back-grown picture. showing that it began with the coming of our ancestors into Rome in the fourth century, where they were confronted with the Christian religion and accepted it without knowing what it was. It was long years ago after this before the moral and spiritual meaning of the Christ teaching was really comprehended by our barbarian fore e-fathers.
 l have oft-times thought that if every one would read history even casually in relation to the moral and intellectual advance ment of the races. that we would have far better people. We have advanced far beyond the widest dream that ever our barbarian ancestors could possi- ply have imagined, but even in the early years of this twentieth century we are still confronted with very strong tendencies toward evil and the forces of degradation. In fact, the con- ditions which confront us are similar in many respects to the conditions going before the fall of nations the nations gone be- fore. do not believe that we will suffer a repitition of the ex- periences of other people. There is even today an awakening. Some may think it an evidence of much learning to scorn the Bible whose teachings have made us what we are the great est people of the greatest age of all history, but the great bulk | of our people are true to the faith of the generations which have gone before. And in this is our hope.
 One evidence of our awaken ing is the constantly growing sentiment against the legalized sale of alcoholic liquors and the increasing recognition of the necessity for sobriety. There is no one now who will not con- demn the man who drinks to excess who does not say that a man is a fool to get drunk. And yet it has not been so many years since people generally winked at the man who got 'on a tear." There was time when whiskey and brandy was looked upon as medicine; today no reputable physician uses it, except in extreme cases. The medical world has discovered that it is I poison. and that it kills. There was a time when people licensed the sale of this poison to raise money with which to pay the police for arresting the people who became crazed from it's use, but we are learning that it is more econom- ical to stop the sale altogether, the police rarely being needed where this is done and the law observed. It is a long way from the drunken state of our .-oock<,~c <r rnn If

MEAT AND RHEUMATIsM.

The question whether a well- known physIcIan Is correct In saying that there is no connec- ton between meat and urio acid or between rheumatism and meat, asked by a reader, can not be answered dogmaticaHy. No doubt the writer referred to has good reasons for hIs opln- Ion, which ought to be consId- cred In deciding the question. pr. Alexander HaIg has written a work on thIs subject which should be read by any one es- pecIalIy interested. A high pro teIn diet Is not tho only cause of rheumatism. Much depends upon the efficiency of the eliminating organs and the mental state.

pitch laden cars which are arriving in

having been allowed to stand in the
sun for some days after loading. and II
has become softened, until it runs and
fills every crevice Of the gondola in
which Il is loaded. Brought to PEN
sacola, the pick has very little effect
on the substance, and il has been de-
cided TO use small charges of dyna-
mite as aforesaid. Those in charge OF
these experiments" stated that the
cars are undamaged because the
charges are placed in such a manner
that the car structure is not affected.
