The other morning. as a departing
transatlantic steamer was casting OF
its lines and swinging out into the
stream, an elderly business man hast
fly embraced a lady who was one OF
the passengers, and rushed down the
gang-plank TO the wharf, says the Lon

Going hurriedly up to a melancholy
loafer who was watching the busy
crowd, the gentleman drew him behind
a pile of baggage and said:

"You bet do"
"You see that lady in black on the
bridge there?" said the elderly one
Certainly"
"Well, that's my wife going abroad
Now, OF course. she'll expect me to

well, I'm too busy to humbug about

She's a little near-sighted, so I'll just
engage you to wave this handkerchief
instead. It's big one, with a red Dor

think it's me. Come up to 202 Bangup

American Invasion of Canada.

One hundred years ago an American
force of 720 men, in command of Gen.
Duncan Macarthur, penetrated 200
miles into Canada and captured nu-
merous prisoners and large quantities
of war supplies before beginning the
return to Detroit. The raid was
part of a bold plan projected and part
ly accomplished By General Macarthur
with the object OF conquering upper
Canada, and the total success of
which was prevented only by the fail
ure OF the forces of General lizard to
cooperate with him. General Near
thur was a distinguished soldier of
the War of 1912 and at the time of
his daring raid he was in command
of the Army of the West. In later
years. following the close of the war,
he served as representative IN con-
gress and as governor of Ohio. His
death occurred at his home near Chill
licothe, o., in 1899.

"coIden Rule in Business"

Ida M. Tarbell is doing a new series
of articles for the American Magazine
entitled, THE Golden Rule In Bust
ness" In the January number h dis
cusses THE Gospel Of Safety" and
shows, by citing many specific cases,
Just what the new devices for protect
ing workmen from dangers have ac-
complished. Miss TarbeIl concludes
her articles with the following para
graphs:
"This reduction of suffering has an
excellent effect on the labortng body.
It naturally increases the efficiency and
contentment Of the shop. The men in
the ranks recognize that they have a
big part in producing results, and they
become proud Of the work. It is q
wonderful lesson in the value Of CO.
operative effort, both for employer and
employees. Moreover, II shows how Eff
forts may be made cooperative, some
thing which both labor and capital have
poorly understood.
'"There is no point of the safety work
which makes q deeper impression on
the laborer and does nor to prevent
suffering than h provisions which are
made generally nov to give first aid
to the injured. They run from a simple
first aid to the injured kit to a fully
equipped hospital with nurses and
doctors always in attendance. At the
steel mills at Homestead I saw recent
ly an electric ambulance for removing
the injured al once to the hospital,
which stands ear the center Of a plant
covering probably $50 acres and en-
ploying some 10000 men al the terri
tying and at the best dangerous work
OF making steel. .E.
"The effect Of all this equipment Is
excellent; somebody cares. Under the
old system nobody cared, or at least
such vas the general impression"

On q diiapidated narrow gauge rail-

SOME MISCONCEPTIONS
ABOUT LATIN AMERICA
BY Franklin Johnston, Publisher OF the
American Exporter, In the World
Outlook.

BY Franklin Johnston, Publisher OF the
American ExPorteri in the World
Among the most popular of these
That England and Germany have
practically all the export trade In
these markets and that h United
States has practically none.
That there are no steamers from the
United States to South America
That we can have no trade in those
markets until we have American ma
tional banks established there.
That a manufacturer must tie up
his money in extending very Ions
credits II he desires business In Latin
America.
That he must sell his goods at q
very much lower price than he a
obtain In his w country, and he must
learn to do business In an entirely
new and different manner In order to
succeed there.
All of these theories are based upon
the fallacies and a lack of under
standing Of even the surface conditions
of these countries.
Latin America Is an Ell Dorado no
more and no less than many other
markets which somehow fail to inspire
the American business man, becaus
they are lacking somewhat in romantic
appeal.
Instead OF having little or no share
In Latin American trade, the United
States actually exports more goods 70
those countries h does any other
nation. Here, In brfefest possible form,
Is the record OF Latin American Inn
ports for 1913. From:
The United States. -. .$325.S37,34
Great Britain and Ireland. 323,22S,07S
Instead of there being no steamers
from New York to Latin America,
there are actually nearly 80 regular
lines of steamers. To the various parts
Of South America proper, by which Is
meant Brazil. Uruguay, Chile and
Peru, ETC., emitting the Caribbean
steamers with sailings so frequent that
there Is q steamer nearly every day. or
these 13 lines, four are operated under
h American flag. .
While there Is only branch Of an
American bank In South America, and
that is only a few months old, Amert-
can exporters have always been able to
finance their business through foreign
banks in that territory. Instead OF hav-
ing to change his methods when dealing
with our Latin neighbors, the Anaert-
can business man who Is carrying on
his trade along safe and sound business
principles will find that the same prin-
ciples must be employed In export bust
ness. o.. .-
There Is a market in South America
for the highest priced articles and the
cheapest. It is not true that cheapness
In itself is a necessary or even a desira-
BILE factor. The natural wealth Of GER
tain South American countries is so ex-
traordinary that in some of them the
rich class is probably the wealthiest per
capita In the world. For some years
the proverbial American millionaire has

on the body's urinous waste or you'n
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel q dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces OF Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful In a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
Kidneys will then act fine. This "a

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids In urine,

The public parks Of Los Angeles,
Cal, now contain a large number Of
metal settees that are made a source
Of income. When not in use, says the
Youths Companion, the settee tips far
forward, and you cannot tip 1t back SO
that you can use It until you have
dropped q nickel In he. slot Of the
coin box on the side. Then It will
stay in place as long az you care to sit
In Il. When you finally get up and
leave the settee, it takes its former
position. The parks contain many free
seats, but at certain times there are
not enough for all who wish to use
