MARBLE POLISHING FOR BLIND
Tests of German Soldiers Said to Have
Shown Special Qualifications
for Work.

msterdam.-Marbe polishing is
said to be an ideal occupation for war
blind soldiers in Germany. A first test
made at Kiel showed that the keen
sense of touch developed by the blind
workers enabled them to detect at
once the slightest unevenness or i'm
perfection on marble plate. Now the
big Rhenish marble works at DusSel-
dorf-Rath employs several blind pol
ishers. who have become experts at
their trade, and receive skilled work
mems pay. German employers in the
marble business have decided to give
blind soldiers preference in labor en-
gagements.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Do not imagine that because other
cough medicines failed to give you relief
that it will be the same with Chamber

that from a small beginning this remedy
has gained world wide reputation and
