HELPFUL WORDS
From a Brattleboro Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful.
Does it ache especially after exer-
tion2
Is there a soreness in the kidney re
gion2
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt attention.
.Doan s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.

The fruit crate comes within the par
eel post provisions, by the extension of
the maximum size of parcel post pack
ages from y to 81 inches in combined
girth and length. Sending small parcels
of fruit or other perishable commodi-
ties by parcel post has not been gener-
ally successful, careless handling MAX
ing jam of the contents. With admis-
sion of the fruit crate must come great
er care in handling-an and presumably
consequent retardation of speed, neces-
stating a larger force or a slower ser
vice. The parcel post is great institu-
ton, and the new ruling will tend to
bring the rural districts and the centers

The New York Sun s Washington
bureau has been sounding Republicans
on their choice for President in 1916
and its returns place Elihu Root of
New York at the head of the list Mr.
Root S character and qualifications are
beyond question, but it is early and the
choice Of a Republican leader in the
next presidential campaign is something
to be determined later. But there is

conditions very different from those
which prevailed in 1912 s.

, The jitney craze is subsiding, but
the jitneys will soon find their proper

in transportation. They have put a
quietus on the theory that traction
franchise establishes and perpetuates a

the iitney is not combining its activi-

reaching out into the rural fields, where
it is taking the place of the stage

quicker and more coneenient form.

DR.. Elliott of Ottawa, Kan, who
had charge of Bible work at the
Chautauqua, writes as follows in the
Ottawa Evening Herald:
From what the inhabitants Of
this beautiful little city call the
Carlsbad of America we greet our
friends.
1--WE are captivated with Ashland.
1t nestles in a beautiful valley be-
tween two high mountain ranges,
and it is indeed a veritable Happy
Valley. They have more hustle
and push and boost to the square
foot than any town of its size | have
ever been in. 1t has population of
only five or six thousand boule-
ward system that is a joy to traverse,
public drinking fountains throughout
the city and one of the most charm
ing parks | know anything about.
This park is the ChautauQua grounds
and is delightfully."- adapted to Chau-
tauqua needs. 1t is a wooded can
yon with the finest mountain stream
imaginable flowing through it, clear
as crystal and icily cool, coming as it
does from the SHOWS of Mount Ash
land some twelve or fourteen miles
away.
"This park extends a mile or two
up the canyon, and to show the spirit
of Ashland people, they have voted
s175, 900 bonds to improve and beau
tify this park and make roadways
along the mountain sides.
"They have made alfree auto camp

knew Of no other way, and there was
no one to instruct them to get out
of the old ruts and accomplish some
more up-to-date plan. There is need
of a revival, or the spreading of the
gospel of simplicity among the lot
owners of our cemeteries.
The condition of our cemeteries is
a burning shame. The mistakes of
the past are daily repeated, and such
neglect is a disgrace to any self-re-
specting community. Let us have

yond the Chautauqua grounds. They
have run electric wires, lighting the
canyon from the city to the camp
grounds, they have builded a dozen
or more rustic bridges across the
stream, rustic seats, lunching tables,
cool and shady walks and retreats.
For the benefit of those auto
campers they have builded hand
some kitchen and dining room with
family lockers, stove and sink, elec-
trio lighted-this is put at the dis
posal of all who may care to use it.
Springs of crystal water, sulphur
springs, soda springs, lithia springs,
abound.
"On either side of town there are
large sign cards bearing on the far
ther side these words: Ashland well
comes you. Free auto camp. Speed
twelve miles an hour. Cover your
mufflers.' 1t is a little thing, but
to the innumerable tourists who go
through the town it looks good and
they appreciate it, Ashland also has
handsome high school of the mis-
sion style but complete in every de-
TAIL including gymnasium and large
stage for theatricals.
1--WE were indebted to V. o. N.
Smith for a thirty-mile auto drive to
the summit of the Siskiyou range OF
mountains. Jackson county has
spent $1SO,000 and the state of Ore
gon is spending $4,000 a year for
four years on this roadway over the
mountains into California, which is
only fifteen miles away. 1t is Won
derful roadway and has many thrills
for the autoist, especially to one who
has been a denizen Of the prairies all
vi HIS lllO.
1T required us two hours to make
the drive to the summit, from which
we had a magnificent view of Mt.
Shasta in all her snowy glory fifty
miles away. The road is being built
by the best engineering skill and the
roadway winds around the noun
tains, looping back and forth on the
3 per cent grade.
This summit is the highest point
of the Southern Pacific railroad on
the Shasta route and to reach the
summit three great mountain en-
gines are required for each passen-
ger train and five engines for
freights"

improvement of Old Cemeteries,

Improvement of Old Cemeteries.
Editor Tidings: 1t is difficult to
make an ideal cemetery out of an old
one that was not established along
modern methods. Yet nearly all Gem
eteries have possibilities for beauty,
yet the longer they remain under
present conditions, the money will
be wasted from time to time in the
cost of care. With the present meth
DDS of care the cost is considerable,
and the expense and labor wasted
The greatest expense consists of car
ing for each individual lot. Where
there are monuments, headstones,
footstones, coping and fences to in
terfere with the work, each lot be-
comes separate job. But with the
headstones even with the ground and
without coping, fences and footstones,
there are only monuments to NOW
around, and this simplifies the work.
Thus the cemetery can be cared for
as whole and not as individual lots.
What is most needed is general
overhauling, not simply a cleaning
up, such as raking up the dead grass,
weeds and leaves, which cur ceme-
teries get each spring. By general
overhauling is meant to do away with
all unnecessary obstacles and put the
grounds strictly OIL the park plan
Everything must be cone to simplify
matters In simplicity IS beauty AMI
economy. All useless materials, srcn
as crockery, glassware, stones, shells
and, last but not lea't old tin cars
and any other obstacle which causes
extra labor in caring for the grounds.
There are no serious problems in do
ing this, but the work must be done
thoroughly. Such thorough over
hauling does not cost more than the
expense of on years care on the old
plan. Any superintendent who has
practical ideas, and knows what
should be done to get away from the
old conditions, can accomplish much
in the beautifying of the cemetery.
First-Remove all fences and
hedges from around lots.
Second-If there are copings, eth
er remove them or lower them level
with the natural surface of the
ground, so that the lawnmower will
pass over them.
Third-If the graves, or any of
them, have been mounded up, level
them to an even surface.
Fourth-If the walks are lower
than the lots, haul dirt on to bring
them up the the grade OF the lots.
If any lots are high, reduce them to
the natural grade. If this can not be
done on account of the monument
foundations, then lower the founda-
tions. If lot is on a side hill and
has been made level, grade it down
to the natural slope of the hill.
Fifth-Remove all footstones.
Sixth-For graves marked with
wooden slabs substitute simple mark
ers of stone.
Seventh-Have the lot markers
and all other markers even with the
ground to allow the lawnmower to
pass over them.
Eighth-Have all walks even with
the lots and seeded with grass.
Ninth-Allow no planting on the
graves. Do not allow evergreens or
any other shrubs or bushes to be
planted on the corner of lots. But
the lot owners won't allow this" OF
course they won't, because they have
heretofore been taking care of their
own lots. They have arranged their
lots as they are through a natural
desire to do something, and they
