TOWN LIFE REAL DRUDGERY
let Country Boys Get Taste OF the
City and They viii Want to Stay
on Farm, It Is Declared.

Why not encourage the boys to Ia
milIarize themselves with town life to
some extent? Our word for 1t, they
would soon lose many Of their Illusions
saws the Natchitoches (La.) Times.
Let q boy go among the young men
who are filling positions In the town.
Impress upon him that these men, In
stead of living like millionaires, are IN
reality worse drudges than he; that
while he sometimes must work early
and late for a very short season, these
young men must frequently be at their
work before he is out Of bed, and
must remain there until he is back IN
bed again; and that as to the matter
of fine clothes, frequently the suits ne
sees on their backs comprise their en-
tire wardrobe. Let him also learn
that while they frequently handle
much money, very little Of Its sticks
to their fingers except with ugly re-
suits to themselves.
Let the boy come to town. Let him
have q taste of town life and make the
acquaintance of town boys. Let him
learn, as he is bound to do, that not by
any means is all gold that glitters.
Thus, with the right surroundings and
conditions on the farm, an occasional
dose of town life will not hurt him,
and he will soon grow to see that his
own life is infinitely to be preferred to
that Of any town boy Of his acquaint-
ance.

BIG WASTE IN FISH TRADE
Public Could Buy Its seafood Much
Cheaper II Industry Were on
Efficient Basis, IL Is Declared.

If the entire fishing industry were
put on an efficiency basis, the genera
public would buy It's seafood much
cheaper and better, Is the opinion OF
William X. Beardsley, manager OF the
New England fish exchange. de as
serts, however, that even under pres
emit conditions fish is themost economi-
cal of foodstuffs in this country.
"The fishing industry has been con-
ducted in q more or less hapnazard
manner" he says. "Small competition
has developed 1t, but up to date little
has been done to put 1t on SOUND
business basis. Those Intimately con-
nected with the industry do not seem
TO realize that the extensive waste
must be eliminated and efficiency
brought in.
"For example, dealers still ship fish
In small quantities everywhere. Ihis
necessitates enormous transportation
EXPENSES with slow service. when the
same goods could be shipped in car
load lots to control distributing points.
and much needless expenditure saved.
"FIsh is the coming food OF America,
and it therefore behooves this country
to awaken to the value Of its fisheries.
II is also necessary for our fish mer-
chants to awaken to the value OF ef-
ficlency and place their trade on sys-
tematic basis. Every dollar wasted
comes out of the public's pockets, SO
that the people as whole have vital
interest In this matter"
Continuing, he states that govern
ment experts contend that before long
this country will be actually forced 10
look to its fisheries for food.-New
York Times.

Simple Fire Alarm.

A new automatic fire alarm has just
been put on the market which Is Sc
cheap and simple that 1t can be In
stalled almost anywhere. 1t will give
the small private house the same pro-
lection that is afforded to large plants
by more complicated systems. The
new alarm consists simply OF small
air chamber and an electric bell. The
chamber is pierced with very fine
holes. When the temperature OF the
room changes in gradual and natural
manner the holes permit the air in the
chamber to pass slowly In and out
But If the temperature rises rapidly
as 1t does In case Of fire, the holes are
too small to take care Of the quick e1'
pansion of the imprisoned air. The
walls Of the chamber are pushed out
ward and close an electric circuit
which rings the alarm bell.

lied Of Premature
Old Age!
(BY v. NJ. PIERCE, N. D.

How many times we hear of compare
lively Young persons passing away when
thew should have lived to be 20 or so
wears of age. This fatal work is usually
attributed to the kidneys, az, when the
kidneys degenerate, it causes, auto-ln-
toSication. The more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys, the quicker
will those noble organs be degenerated,
and the sooner they decay.
To prevent premature old age and
promote long life, tighten the work OF
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water all day long, and occasionally tax
ing little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
Anuric will overcome such conditions as
rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold ex,
tremities, scalding and burning urine and
sleeplessness due to constant arising.

takes them 111% hours to weigh and

the door for a tip, and if you try to go
by them, they will ask for it.: clerk,
elevator man, waiter, chambermaids

and the cook, if she is not too busy. If
you stay only two nights, the tips ex-
