The Future Chemist

Ellwood Hendrick in Harper's Magazine
 Of course, men will call themselves whatever they please. We cannot legis- importance that only those students Of today should become chemists who aLr- properly equipped to meet the great re- responsibilities which are there to encoun- ter. It is the coming profession. It mdst determine for us in the future what we shall eat and drink and Wherewithal we shall be clothed. Whether we grow as ar industrial nation or sink into decrepitude is in large measure dependent upon our chemists. If we grow, it will be because they are men of vision, of childlike cu- riosity and unspoiled fancy; men of taste of discrimination, who are familiar with human reactions and with the graces Of life. They will be men whose ong-rangs view is glorified by imagination. They will carry the subtle art of the teacher into the work and lead the men and women engaged there into the paths Of understanding and delight. Then work lin the factory will cease to be drudgery, and good housing conditions and fair wages will cease to be the maximum of merit demanded of employers-when this eh- lightenment prevails.
 There is one great quality that was en-
  It was that which made their cathedrals so beautiful, their fabrics so rich, ana their every product enduring ana strong. Men sang at their work because they found joy in it. Now we have dlf- ferent customs, different conditions, diff ferent problems but in the very measure that our men and women who constitute parts of great industrial organizations io not find pleasure in their days work, We have degenerated. If we would be great in industry we must make our industries great by making our workers intelligent and ambitious and fine in understanding We must make it possible for them np- only to produce things, but to see that they are producing. Therefore, 1t our chemists and engineers, who are to direct our industries. are wise men and so illn- minated that they can show light ahead to those who work under them we may look for the dawn of new era of peace and good will That will be the day-and may God speed it's coming-when ideals of service will rule in our hearts.

And then we were arrested. No member of our party had weapon on his person, although Moore and Goldstein had pis- tols in valises. Warrants were subse- quently sworn out, the chief of police securing the papers alleging carry ing conceded weapons, and the grand father of the Blackburn girl securing the papers alleging conspiracy to se- cure the person of the girl. We were not confined. The sheriff of the coun- ty sat with us during the hour Of du- ress, and after the excitement had sub sided some of the citizens treated us to coca-cola.

Listening to Other Worlds

Buckner Speed, in Harper's Magazine.
 In Bunyan's ''Pilgrim's Progress" there is man who ran with his fingers in his ears, shouting at the top of his Soioa that he might not hear. In developing the possibilities of terrestrial communl- cation it is of consummate importance that we shall find way to put our fingeFs in our ears and shut out the extraneous noises of the 'statics.'
 1t is cheap fancy and unprofitable science to muse about high and far-o1f things before we are ready for them. We go on doing the thing next to us, do- ing it well, conquering the obstacles that it is profitable to conquer and we do well in doing so but little by little in so doing We are unquestionably reaching and feel- ing our way toward the ability on our own part to be cognizant of voices ema- hating from spheres other than our own: and if there are beings of like or greater intelligence than ours elsewhere, we shall in time certainly will be inocmunicatiop with them. It may be even now thaf some of these static disturbances whicf. we try so hard to shut out are far off, brotherly hands knocking at the dooF that we now hold fast closed

MONTGOMERY MAN SAYS, T NOW FEEL
 ID YEARS YOUNGER
Got Rid of Constipa ation, Sluggish Liver, Weak Kid neys, Dizzy Spells, by Taking Dreco, the New Root and Herd Remedy

'1t is a positive fact, I feel 10 years younger since I have taken two bottles of Dreco," said MT Tom Gosha. who resides at 617 Pollard street, Montgomery, Ala, and is employed at R. B. Burnham s furniture store at 2S South Court street.
 'I had sluggish liver which gave me dizzy spells and heada aches. My kidneys also bothered me and l had pains in my back and limbs. My bowels were con- stipated and l had to be taking medicine all the time. No matter how careful was about my eating, I always had indi- gestion afterward.
 LIKE NEW MAN
 I've always believed in the good, old time medicines made from roots and herbs, so I started on Dreco and it helped me at once. My bowels began to act reg ular: pains left my back; dizzy spells quit bothering me and my food digested well. I now go about my work feeling fine and it comes easy to me. Dreco is great medicine"
 When you read about people right in their own home town, know their street numbers, and where they work, does it not impress you that what you read must be all true? If 1t were not we would noJ publish it.
 Dreco is made from the juices and ex- tracts of many different roots, herbs. barks and berries, which act on the stom- ach, liver, kidneys, bowels and purifies the blood. Increases the appetite, in duces sound sleep; rouses sluggish liver. stimulates the kidneys and rebuilds the whole system
 All progressive druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Birmingham by Jacobs pharmacy. pr. Tharp, the we'll known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Jacobs pharmacy, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him to- day. Dreco is also sold in Bessefner by the Fulton Drug Co.,; in Fairfield by Halls pharmacy; in Vivian by the Cen tral pharmacy.-Adv.

The city IS confronted with the pos
sibinty Of being without gas in few
days unless two important things
come about One is the Iowa Rail
way and Light Company must get gas
coal and the other is that there must
be the strictest conservation OF gas
This warning was issued today by
Fuel Administrator John I. Bell
Manager Charles Munson, Of the
public utilities, hopeful that coal
would be released BY the federal rail-
road administrator, believed that Goa!
would be received before It would De
necessary to shut off gus.
Only those who depend entirely on
gas for home cooking, and have no
other cooking stove, realize what
public calamity an entire lack Of gas
would mean in thousands OF homes IN
the city. Hence the need Of strictest
economy in the use OF this fuel.
Moving 10 Get Coal.
With three cars Of gas coal within
twenty four hours hauling distance
from this city and with a fourth car
loaded for the company at Perry, and
supposed to have been released for
shipment here, Munson thought the
chances were good that coal would be
received before the end OF the week.
He had not this forenoon. however,
any assurance that any Of this coal
would get here or that any OF 1t had
been released. State Fuel Administra-
tor Webster and the federal railroad
administration has been bombarded by
the company with requests and de-
Inands for the release OF this coal.
Munson thought that before the day
was over he would get assurance that
the Perry car was on Its way.
Use Little Gas.
The urgent demand Of the city fuel
administrator was that the consump-
ton of gas be cut 70 the minimum IN
every home. He pointed out that gas
should be used only for the most nee
essary cooking and household work.
and in homes where there were ranges
burning other fuel that gas be not used
at ali for any purpose.
No Northwestern Trains OFF.
In spite Of publication in Chicago
papers OF the taking off OF North
western trains operating on the Chi
cago to Omaha main line, it was said
at the union station this afternoon
that no notice had been received here
of the cancelling Of any trains operar-
ing thru this city on that road.
