BUSINESS EFFICIENCY
BY H. J. Barrett.
A $4,000 a Wear Idea,

ITS seldom that gain an idea from
studying my competitors methods" re-
marked u manager who Is famed for
the high standards of efficiency which
prevail in his organization. more often
1t Is from adopting an idea which Is
successful in operation In some entirely
different line of business that I effect
some noteworthy saving. For example:
Some months ago, l read in your
column an account of the really
amazing results achieved by an eff
cheney expert in his analysis Of life
insurance company's problems. AS
recall 1t. by substituting for the pages
Of huge books semi-transparent cards
upon which the histories of policy
holders were entered. he was enabled
to secure clear, sharp blucprints. thus
avoiding the necessity for making
countless copies. This reform resulted
In the release Of many copying clerks.
II am a manufacturer and market
my product through mail order meth
DDS. One would hardly conceive that
the methods Of an insurance company
would apply to my business. But read
Ing that article made deep impression
OH me. -
1.-The real crux of my discovery Is
that duplication beats copying and that
there must be some way Of applying
that to my enterprise.
FINALLY, l saw the way Now In
stead of copying orders by tipping or
carbon copies, We made one master
cory of name. address. date, order
number invoice number, items. amount
paid, c. o. D.. amount balance. way to
ship and follow up data--four orders on
one sheet.
Our boys then duplicate this COM
plcte Information by machine twenty
five times on separate papers. thus
making out invoice, day book records.
shipping label. signature coupon. fol-
low up address labels. visible index
cards, collection index and several
mailing and c. o. d. envelopes.
This plan is now saving us jGst
$4,000 per year. And It Is to be cred
tied indirectly to the methods in vogue
In that insurance company.
You never know just where you'll
unearth an idea which will save you
large sums. They crop up in the most
unexpected places. This Is because be-
meath every practical application Of a
PLAN lies a principle. And principles ap-
ply universally"

Something more than war Is needed
to hold down the Montana apple. From
the interesting crop review Of the
Banking Corporation of Montana we
learn that the production of this state
for the season will be a half million
barrels of three bushels each, or twice
that Of last year. OF this yield As per
cent will be classed as CONNIE rcial
against a similar report of 40 per cent
of last years yield. The crop of cher>
ries also will be very large. indicating
altogether that the patriotic women OF
| Montana will be kept fairly busy in
canning fruits as well as vegetables
for the nations war larder. This re-
port, which is condensed and well ed.
tied, tells of a farmer in the Yellow.
stone valley who produced one hun,

year. That is news to make the New

has served to send other men to the
sallows.
In war times more drastic measures
may be taken. The Constitution pro-
vides that even the privilege of habcas
corpus may be suspended when the
country is at war. This actually was
done on several occasions by President
Lincoln.
Since public agitation is likely to be
carried on with more vigor by the
/ w. w. as their campaign increases,
It is we'll for the authorities to have
thorough understanding of the limits
of free speech and to see that the ag-
itators keep well within the law. Our
government is based upon the old prin-
ciple that the end sought is the great
est happiness of the greatest number.
That must ever be kept in mind.

SPEEDING UP CONGRESS.

Some people and a good MANY con :
gressmen think that one of the safest
and easiest employments of an editors
time Is to slam congress. When edi-
torial topics are scarce, they agree
that there is always to be found a
punching bag in the national capitol.
That is because comparatively few
people really understand how their
prosperity is affected by legislation at
s"ch distance as Washington. A
war Is needed to bring that matter to
their doors.
EDITOR Williams OF the Dixon Herald
swings this stiff and we'll directed
blow:
fanlt finding and railing at con-
sFess is not pleasure to any
edltor. 1t is a nuisance--it leaves
nasty taste in the mouth Rut

II thcfe was ever Il time in the
history of our country when the
American people should rise IN in

now
Robbcr food barons will suck the
blood of the consumer lust as long
as congress dallies and Stacks and
does nothing. and with rev nota-
Die exceptions the national law
makers will do absolutely nothing

reelection and are listening to the
threats of vets and drys as to what
Will happen to them if they fail to
take orders from this side or that.
The great mass of people who are
suffering from such conditions as the
Dixon Herald describes are Not repre-
scented by paid lobbyists. True, they
are supposed to be represented but
often the interests of the voters are
neglected until it becomes necessary
to make a showing for campaign for
re election.
Valuable aid to the newspapers in
the thanklcss task of speeding up con-
Sress can be rendered by the people
themselves if they will take the time
TO write letters or to assemble, as is
their right, and adopt resolutions to
be forwarded to their representatives
in Washington.

One time wrote the Perfect Play.

dreams are wont to do. typed my
manuscript with care. No period was

manager at once sought. Oh. he was
very kind. I had play for him. I
thought. for which the public pined.
He said no doubt my play was great
and. at some not far distant date, he'd
read It and decide its fate with clear.
untrammelled mind. Next day the
mail returned my script with just a
little note. It said the story surely
crippled. Quite feclingly he wrote that
he was sorry he must state I'd brought
the play to him too late. Already he'd
accepted eight. That message got my
goat. Nine other managers l saw and
each had some excuse. Each turned
me down with hem and haw, yet
praised my brain pappoose. At last
one man said it was punk and classed
my play as merely junk. I thanked

A Wrong Impression

Complaints from various sources
have come to my attention with re-
spect to the increase in the price Of
ice by the City Ice Company and I
have learned from Mr.. Siverts that
these complaints are directed towards
him and that he is made the subject
of criticism for conditions existing
at the City Ice Company. 1 wish to
state at this time in fairness to Mr..
SivertS and in order to correct a
wrong impression in the minds of
those who have held Mr.. SiVerts re-
sponsible for any action on the part
of the City Ice Company that he is
in no way connected with the man
agement of this company or for any
action taken by it. Any complaint or
criticism of any nature directed to-
ward the City Ice Co. should be
brought to the attention of the writer
who is the only and exclusive owner
of this concern and who will be glad
to receive any reasonable complaint
and give it his immediate attention.
1t has always been my aim to do
everything in my power to please the
people of Morris and 1 shall welcome
any feeling Of dissatisfaction that
may exist with regard to anyone be-
ing unsatisf1ed with the service rend-
cred by the City Ice Company and if
possible correct such feeling.

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. No Morris resident who suf-
fers backache, or annoying urinary
ills can remain unconvinced by this
twice-told testimony.
Mrs. E. B. Mcdonald, Ortonville,
Mimi, says: II advice all kidney
sufferers to try Doan's Kidney Pills
as they cured me after years of dis
tress and suffering. The kidney
secretions bothered me very much
and l began to suffer from misery
in my back, followed by violent
headaches which drove me almost
frantic. If I tried to stoop, I got so
dizzy I could hardly stand. I got a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
cured me-" Statement given Sept
ember 10, 1909
NO TROUBLE SINCE
OVER SIX YEARS LATER Mrs.
Mcdonald said: II always keep a
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills on
hand and when 1 don't feel just
right, 1 take a few doses. They soon
make me feel like myself again.
The endorsement I gave Doan's Kid
ney Pills some time ago, I gladly
confirm now
Price 6Oc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

that Mrs. Mcdonald has twice pub

In the habit of drinking tea at much
too high a temperature, Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
"Diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
IT,"
+ Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es-
pecially, at a temperature which If
applied to the hands or feet would in
fict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers
take 1t about 40 to 145 degrees F.,
which the mouth bears very we'll If
slowly slipped, while the cup itself is
too hot to be held by any hand.
But the habit of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach, and 1t
ought not to be taken above 100 de-
grees or so. Again, water at 12O de-
grees, which feels little more than
lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe
pain if the hand is dipped in it and
cannot be endured"
He has, however, some good words
to say for the early morning tea.
"This morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and a half
before the first meal Of the day. For
many years l have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning in
bed after tea, and at no time do find

appetite for solid food is excellent
