achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the

marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in

America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great

transportation systems of the United

In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex-
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation. and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient

world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most Of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built

LETTER TO OSCAR 7. DAVIS

Island Pond, Vt.
Dear Sir: You are agent for Devoe
lead-and-zinc for your town and
country?
The whole doctrine of it turns on
these three points:
Q) 1t is all paint and true paint;
(2) 1t is the strongest paint;
90 1t is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint,
proportional for strength and full
measure,
O 1t takes least for a job;
(2) Looks best all the time;
90 Lasts longest;
(4) Gathers the trade, and holds
customers.
There is no such argument for any
other paint; there is no other such
paint; there is nothing but talk for
any other paint. Devoe is the paint,
is you want the facts on your side.
The country is full of experiences;
we bring these experiences to bear
on your trade.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.,

seven per cent of the estimated pop

$4,000 100000 Europe $25, 100000

$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $780,
A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United StateA

Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
and suffering to some disease pecu-
liar to their sex, when often the
pain ana misery is caused by weak
or derangcd kidneys. Homework,
office work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells,
puffiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stiff joints discelored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result.
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose OF dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
in the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys.@ Thousands of men
and women In all parts of the county
testify to the wonderfully satisfac-
tory results they have had from taxi
ing Foley Kidney Pills.

Her Furs Fade in Rain
the San Francisco Chronicle

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 A combination of coyote skins, rabbit skins and just plain, old, everyday cat skins, beautifully matched, however, and artistically adorned with what purported to be silver fox tips. would proba ply have remained the pride and joy of Mrs. Eleanor Hollman wife of Fred Hol.ma n real estate broker and resident of the swagger Sea Cliff addition, for an indefi- mite period had she not ventured forth in the rain.
 Mrs. Holman did venture forth. how ever, and thereby hangs a tail Several tails, as a matter of fact for all the silver-tipped rigamajigs commenced to fade away and to disappear altogether. By the time Mrs. Holman reached down. town you could easily trace the pedigree of the erstwhile expensive fox skin back to the coyote, the rabbit and the plain old house cat.
 Considerably mortified and somewhat angry, Mrs. Holman called on her friend, Harold Maundrell. assistant bond and warrant clerk at the hall of justice, and signed complaint, charging one Edward Riley with obtaining money under falss pretenses.
 Mrs. Holman says Riley called at her home, 27S Twenty-ninth avenue, last Sat urday, dressed in the uniform of ship officer and offered for sale what he claimed to be genuine fox furs for on' y sez.50. because they were ''smuggled.' and he (Riley) had to get back to his ship quickly and steam away.
 Mrs. Holman snapped at the bargain.

Make Exercise Replace Sleep

From the PedILle eIlCer.
 A gray-haired man. 63 years old, hearty and strong, is attempting a feat which doctors and experts say is impos sible. A. Olin BibbinS a physical cul- ture enthusiast, will Stry to walk one mile in every hour of the 24 for 1500 consecutive hours, which he says will be worlds record.
 With a course laid out Mir. Bibbins once every hour, whether it interferes with sleep or not, hikes out for his mile jaunt. But just before and immediately after his hourly trip he goes through exercises which he has figured out reach every department of the body. and which prepare him for his walk It also makes up for the loss of sleep and. he says, makes walking a pleasure.
 And another important thing about this feat Is that Bibbins will not eat more than 25 cents worth of food a day.
 "Tll fool these wise ones who declare it can't be done" Bibbins smiled after he had made his 15fth hourly trip. De- spite the fact that he had not slept for more than 45 minutes at stretch for 154 hours, Bibbins showed no signs of loss of sleep
 Tt is my object to prove that brief. normal exercise can greatly improve ones efficiency, both mentally and physically. and that exercise of the right kind can supplant sleep, and even food to a certain extent. By keeping the body organs in perfect working or der by use of the correct exercises, I shall be successful in my endeavor to establish a new worlds record
 Bibbins' alarm clock is telephone operator. who calls him every hour dur ing the night. He thought an alarm clock would be unreliable, and besides he did not want to run any risk of turn ing off the bothesome alarm in his sleep. should he become too much bent on slumber.
