AND WORKING Time

A worker in an industrial plant, who
has been unusually successful in saving
and maintaining his family and himself
in comfort at the same time, gave this
explanation of how he got ahead:
GAS long as | thought of prices for
things merely in money, I never could
save cent, and we had very little to
show for what we spent. In terms of
money, anything wanted seemed cheap.
lone day when l was going to spend
dollar foolishly, the question occurred
to me, "How many hours of good hard
work did it take me to earn that
dollar2" The article no longer seemed
desirable and I quickly realized that at
the price of two hours work it was not
cheap Since then 1 have trained my
self to translate prices into working
time Ten cents is twelve minutes at
the mill; five dollars mean a day and
overtime.
IF you use this system you will be
SUI W 1uO uOW hdAJ JOu
cah do without easily and how many
other things are not worth the money
to you. Even better-pricing things in
hours of work helps you to get real solid
value for every cent you spend.
Il believe thoroughly that amusement
and recreation are necessary ID eff
iciency. But now before we spend for
shows, or what not, we decide whether
the recreation or amusement contem-
plated would be worth the work it took
to earn that fun.
LAS a result many foolish quarter
and dollar have gone into Thrift and
War Saving Stamps, which certainly
pay you full time for your work. We
regard the interest as overtime velvet. "
Besides, we have better, home,
better clothes, better furnishings. better
food and more fun than we did before
1 began to spend wisely"

Life OF Railroad Ties Made Longer
BY Zinc.

An apparent relation between the
amount of rainfall and the durability
of railway crossties that are treated
with zinc chloride is disclosed by re-
cent investigation of the Forest Products
laboratory, at Madison.
Zinc chloride treatment should give
an average life of eight years or more
to ties made from non durable woods
in that portion of the country north
and west of the 40-inch rainfall line,
according to an analysis Of service re-
cords. This line extends roughly from
Galveston through st. Louis and Pitts
purg to Northeastern Maine. Allow
ance must be made for that portion of
the Pacific coast where there is heavy
rainfall.
Creosote. for treating crossties has
been hard to obtain during the past
two years because OF restricted impor-
tations and increasing use of coal tar
for fuel by the steel industry.

IN TRIBUTE TO PAIN
From the Extension Division OF the
University Of Wisconsin,.
n. E. DEARHoLT., M D., DIRECTOR

1t would be asking a good deal of a
man suffering from pain to be thankful
tor his torment. And yet, pain is usu-
ally the friend and not the enemy of
living creatures. The cause of the pain
is evil but the pain itself is good. Like
the rasping and irritating sound of a
siren, it is a danger signal and mature
made it irritating for good purpose.
That, briefly stated, is the reason
why conscientious physicians condemn
all persons who give patent or other
pain killer" without knowing or car
ing what the cause of the pain may be.
That is why they go slowly in the
use of their own hypodermic syringes
and, when ''hypo" is absolutely nee
essasy, give only enough of the drug to
make the patients condition bearable.
One of the reasons why there are
fewer deaths, nowadays, from infam
NATION of the bowels, than there were
years ago is because physicians gen.
orally and patients commonly are more
respectful of pain than they used to be.
The fact has been we'll advertised
that colicky pains may be due to appen-
dicitis and if so it is the appendix and
not the pain that needs treatment.
And in the instance of severe "tum-
myaches" of children it has been
learned by all physicians and many
mothers and fathers that removing the
cause it far more intelligent than trying
to relieve the effects. An aching stom-
ach is "howling" to be emptied and
allowed to rest and not to have some
awful smelling and worse tasting con-
coction poured into it,
The highest intelligence demands
that the various causes of pain be
avoided, the next highest that they be
removed and not merely masked. In
Warfare, camoudage was designed to
fool the enemy, not the ally. Pain is
a friendly detective from which wise
people will secure information of some
times obscure and always unfavorable
conditions,

DANIEL BOONE'S
 BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

Daniel Boone, whose birthday annt- versary falls tomorrow, is one of those heroes whose fame increases with the passing years. With the spread of civilization and culture throughout North America, the hardships endured and the dangers braved tby the pi- oneers loom even larger and more praiseworthy. The last of many hon ors conferred upon Daniel Boone was his election in October, 1915, to @ place among the immortals in the American Hall of Fame in New York.
 Boone was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, on Feb. II, 1f35 His youth was spent in North Carolina, but his great fame was gained in Kentucky, where he helped to lay the foundations for a pioneer civilization which produced. among other great men, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. Both North Carolina and Ken lucky have erected memorials to Boone One of the most interesting of these shrines Is at Holman'S Ford. near Salisbury, N. C., marking the sxact site of the Boone homestead, where young Daniel spent 19 years If his boyhood and young manhood. A log cabin which is said to be an exact replica Of the one in which the Boone family lived has been erected on the spot, and in front of 1t stands a gran tte shaft, forming an Indian arrow head 15 feet in height and mounted upon a massive base. Many interest, ing reiics of the great pioneer have been collected by the Daniel Boone Memorial Association, which was in- corporated in North Carolina in 1909. In the Boone cabin are antique guns huAting knives. powder horns, cook

 On the banks of the Yadkin river, not far away, Is Boones Cave, where Daniel and other members of the family retreated when closely press ed by the stavages. In Davte county. which adjoins the county containing the Boone memorial, the remains of Daniels father and mother are buried. The old Joppa cemetery, near the village of Mocksville, is the last resting place of the parents of the hero. In order to save the old stone which marks the grave from the depredations of relic hunters, it has been found necessary to enclose 1t in a steel cage. The stone bears this quaint inscription: lo
