Proves Peruna's Value

1t bears fruit IL like my assistant"
said one business man to the writer, "be-
cause he always looks as if life had
comes to the Office in the morning"
That's practical examination and the
man meant what he said.
There is wide variety of smiles The
perfunctory sort is best unnoticed. No
one likes it, because it lacks sincerity.
The smile we most appreciate is that
which at times lights up the face whose
expression is inclined toward sternness.
1t seems veritable rainbow of promise,
telling of the good nature that is be-
hind the smile, although it does not al
ways see fit to be on dress parade. Then
there is the sympathetic smile. There
are two varieties of this, the oily, and
sincere, and the kindly and truthful
sort. 1t is not difficult to distinguish
them.
Then there is the rollicking smile
1t comes upon you like breath of fresh
air on a close day. 1t is infectious One
feels Immediately as if he must smile,
too, and he is certain to feel pleasant
~ inclined toward the person bestowing
the smile, says the Irish World. The
shy smile indicates that there is any
of kindness in the heart of the
owner, but that it is doubtful about in
truding. Then there is the surly smile, |
which comes grudgingly.
The person who calls on business and |
smiles when he greets you, pleasantly |
but not Extensively, stirs your own kind !
ness. You cannot tell why, but you feel
much more inclined to friendIiness than
i he had greeted you curtly, although
you might have thought him extremely
business like, He will succeed, the man
who smiles if only with his eyes, where
he man who drops into the offered chair
without pleasant word will come peril
,usly near failure.
All the world loves a sincere smile.

sort of use of this port machinery, it
has increased the probable demand for
another sort of use. A drydock de-
signed primarily for merchant ships may
prove extremely useful, not to say time
|ly, for naval vessels, as well as such
merchant tonnage as may be necessary
TO supplement the activities of the navy.
Furthermore, with the large increase in
our merchant marine we need more dry
dock facilities. Every day that a vessel
needing repairs is kept waiting for
docking facilities it loses the earning
power of that day.
In short, the need of drydock in
Boston has not disappeared, but in
creased. And we trust that the Senate
will have the penetration to recognize
the need. All men interested in the pro-
ject should write to the Massachusetts
Herald.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STONE.
Constitutes a New and Growing Indus
try in United States.

| In 1916 for the first time there was a
considerable production of photographic
stone in this country. This production,
according to information received by G.
f. Loughlin of the United States geo.
| logical survey, department of the inte-
| rior, was made by the Kentucky Litho-
graph Stone company, which has quar-
ries at Brandenburg, Ky, and an Office
in Louisville. In 1915 the company sold
10000 pounds OF finished stone at prices
ranging from "a to ~ cents pound. For
some years previous small quantities had
been sold occasionally in Louisville, but
in 1916 the stone was shipped to buy
ers as far away as Cleveland, Wash
ington. New York and Boston.
The quarry at Brandenburg contains
three distinct beds from which litho-
graphic stone may be obtained. Two of
these beds are about three feet thick
and one nine to ten feet thick. They
are separated by beds of limestone of
other varieties and make up only about
20 per cent of the stone that must be re-
moved. The remaining so per cent, how
ever, is available for crushed and pulver-
lied limestone, chicken grit and other
uses, and considerable quantities were
marketed for these purposes in 1916.
The greatest difficulty in the develop
ment of photographic stone quarries in
the United States has been the high cost
of quarrying and preparing the stone in
competition with the well-known Bava-
rian stone. Much of this stone is re-
ported TO come in thin layers that re-
quire only planning and polishing before
use whereas all known deposits in the
United States that are at all suitable for
photographic work occur in more massive
beds that much first be sawed into slabs
of proper thickness. High cost of labor
in the United States and of railroad as
with ocean transportation have
also stood in the way of the domestic
industry;
Quarrying of the Bavarian stone. how
ever, involves the handling of large guam.
titles of waste, and the waste piles
around the quarries to-day form hills of |
size. The marketing of !
crushed stone and similar products from !
the Brandenburg quarry should go far !
toward eliminating the cost of quarry |
ing from the expense Of preparing litho- |
graphic stone. With this advantage it |
may be possible, even after the European
war is over, to market the Kentucky /
stone in competition with the Bavarian 4
stone. the better grades of which under 1
normal conditions bring five TO six cents /
a pound for 10 by l2-inch slabs, and
the poorer grades ~ cents pound for
slabs OF the same size.

have contended, and that the paper mills
of the country are in position to meet
all ordinary demand upon them.
Soon after the commission reached its

Why Boston Drydock is Still Needfu

Why Boston Drydock is Still Needful.
The commonwealth is committed to
an ambitious drydock project. Much
of the work has been done, and much re-
mains to do. In order to retrieve the
outlay expended it is necessary to push
the work to completion.
In the national House of Representa-
tiyes the project met with reverse. 1t
has still to be considered by the Senate,
where its friends are seeking to have it
meet with more favorable consideration.
This drydock, it is true, was planned
at time when the war had not changed
the aspect of oversee trade and Boston's
share in it. But while the war has di-

In the Sick Room.

Even in this day when trained nurses
are plentiful, the mother or sister must
often be the "ministering angel in times
of sickness. Even the woman who seems
to be naturally skilled in comfort art"

| Make the sick room more attractive.
Give the invalid the best room in the
house and one as far removed as posi-
BILE from the noise of the household
machinery.
Have no gloomy pictures in the room.
If possii lie, put the invalid in a room,
the walls of which are covered with plain
paper, for nervous patient is often
driven almost frantic counting the roses

Keep the room. well ventilated aud
tidy. Never dust with a feather buster,
since that merely agitates the dust to

The first requisitive of sick room is
good bed. Cover the mattress with
thin, soft covering. Make the bed
carefully, draw the undersheet tightly,
smooth at the sides and pin down the
corners with safety pins. This will pre-
vent the sheet wrinkling. Never place
the bed so the light will fall in the eyes
of the invalid. Have a number of small
pillows to tuck under the back or shout |
ders or to raise the knees. For tempo |
rary use cover the pillows with cheese
cloth.
Before serving food, battle the invalid's |
hands and face and freshen the air in the |

Never argue with the invalid, but be
patient and firm.-Irish World.
The Value of a Smile.
No person ever gained popularity who
did not understand how and when to
smile. Not that one can take a course
of study in smiling. 1t is purely mat
ter of tact and intelligence But the
man who smiles his way through lite
always has a much better time than he
who cultivates a sober face at all times.
We do not know person until we see
MIN smile. There is no greater charae-
.er sign than the smile.
Nine persons out of ten rise in the
morning not inclined toward good ma

nut il is so. II one happens to be in a

Here is one reason why smiles are
