two years. Finally word was received
that he had reach, n Eastern port

Eagerly the home folks had waited
to welcome back their hero and plan

At four o'clock one afternoon Jim's
voice came over the telephone to his
dad: Leaving in fifteen minutes for

Unable to understand the short stop

his arrival in Chi.

Ideal Bed for InvaIids.

In view of the elaborate care with
which most details of sick nursing
have been worked out, it Is more than
little curious that the maintenance
of the patients warmth In bed should
have been left so long to the precari-
Gus ministry Of the hot-water bottle.
At the Treloar Cripples' hospital, AL
ton, England. two wards are now sup
piled with electric mattresses, which
have proved both safe and convenient
in practice, even when a child is the
occupant of the bed. The mattress is
differentially heated and the heating
element is so disposed that the maxi
mum warmth is generated at the foot
end, less in the middle and none at all

Can't Get Ahead of Boys.

A firm in Massachusetts avenue, just
starting into business, sent up rubber
balloons in lots of ten, and attached to
each was a ticket calling for merchan-
disc. The news had scattered far and
wide. But the boys did not intend to
let the balloons san away into the air
and come down in some ones yard
miles away.
When the first ten left the hands of
the man sending them up there was II
twang Of rubber bands and flock of
bent pins was shot into the slowly ris-
ing balloons. Four dropped to the
ground, burst into bits-and likewise
four tickets calling for merchandise
which the youthful bandits scrambled
for and took into the store for re-
demption.

BUSINESS MEN IN HISTORY
interesting Question as to Whether It
Is Better to Be Owner or
Employee.

The main object of life is doubtless
to get something out of it besides
trouble, and so any critical comparison
of rival methods of earning a living
cannot fail to be interesting to all
men. The only ones not affected are
the carefree hobo fitting from place 10
place and the wise lad who early IN
life took the precaution to marry the
lovely daughter of the capitalist
Now, about the matter of running
your own business or working for some
one else on salary and commission. III
we go into history the testimony is
somewhat conflicting, writes j. K.
Sprague in Sunset. Moses was sal
aried man for the Pharaoh corpora
ton and did very well for himself.
On the other hand, our old friend Bis
marck, also salaried man, built up
a wonderful business for his firm, but
as so often happens, was thrown out
of a job when he got along in years,
and the young fellow stepped In and
took over the business.
Among those who went into business
for themselves, Mark Antony did well
and would probably have become head
of the worlds greatest corporation II
he had not got into fast company and
wasted his time on wine suppers,
houseboat parties, and so on.
Alexander the Great, strictly busi-
ness man with no foolishness about
him, in ten years built up such q tre-
mendous organization that he fretted
because there were no more good
sized towns where he could establish
branch houses. Napoleon, who was in
business for himself, prospered ex-
ceedingly for a number of years and
probably would have died rich except
for an unwise second marriage and
the fact that he tried to spread out too
much for his capital.
We all know the outcome of the
business owned and managed by Will
liam Hohenzollern. Interested cred
itors would do well TO compare Dun
or Bradstreet report on his affairs
made in the spring of 1914 with his
rating at the present time.

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every

It is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful Doses
1t is not recommended for everything,
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp

CHEEKY Kitchen.

Women who perform their house
work unaided should see to 1t that the
kitchen Is made as CHEEKY and conven-
lent as possible. Perhaps, If many II
housewives steps were counted, 1t
would be found that she travels sew
eral weary miles each day yet a great
deal of this unnecessary exertion could
be avoided If her kitchen were fitted
up with few labor-saying devices and
all surplus furniture, pictures and sun
dry shelves that catch dust and make
a lot of work were removed.

Kindly Effort,

We shut ourselves away from so
much beauty, from so much charm,
from so much that is lovely and Of
value when we use life roughly in
stead of looking upon each day as a
Jewel to be treasured and each hour
an opportunity for JOY and service
How many days are spoiled by Just
one rude word, one unkindly speech,
one rough act. And spoiled not only
for us but for others. And how many
days are made more gracious, how
many hearts are made more tender by
Just the kind word. the gentle act, the
sincere and loving effort to be kind.

American plans for universal military

the size of the standing army.
The plan of the general staff FOR
mitted at the last session involved the
recruiting of regular army of lit

plan, although it received no attention
at the last session, forms in part the
basis of present discussion, and out of
it eventually will be brought the new

be, scheme which If adopted may go

boarding houses. Three men and
young girl came down with it in
boarding house on John avenue be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets. The scourge also took quite
a gallop through another boarding
house near the corner of John avenue
and Seventh street. On Banks ave-
nue. one doctor diagnosed seven cases
of smallpox as chicken pox. A sister,
in-law of the lady of the house told
the doctor that she believed it was
the smallpox but he secuted the idea.
Later, when she was sent to the pest
house with the disease, she called up
the doctor and informed him that she
had been right and he had been
wrong.
Scourge Visits Wemyss Block.
In the Wemyss block, right in the
thick of the business section, half a
dozen cases broke out Some were
auarantined in their rooms and somc
went to the pest house. The great
trouble in that building was that the
same water and toilet facilities had
to be shared by all the tenants.
One trained aurse who canla down
with the disease, kept the matter very
much to herself. In excuse, she stated
that she did not feel called Upon to
tell her business to other people. Her
own daughter caught the disc ase FROM
her and was immured in the Duluth
pest house.
Madam Nurse finally was taken to
the Superior isolation hospital but
she kept the fact away from her
neighbors. When she was released
and got back to her lodgings, she
informed all who greeted her and in
quired as to her absence that she
had been away on a visit.

the visitation of the filthy disease
has about run it's course. The ad-
vent Of warmer weather probably
will easily end it.
But the advent of spring will not
end the need and demand for a mod
ern, convenient, adequate isolation

hotel management nor the druggist
have any knowledge of this traffic.
This may be especially true of the
hotel people. Some time ago, when
three bell boys in the hotel Superior
were arrested and convicted on charg-
es OF Illegally selling booze to guests
and others, the manager of Superb.
or's leading hostelry frankly admitted
that he did not know what the boys
had been doing. He further public
Iy stated that the boys never could
work there again but, as soon as they
were released from the workhouse,
they were given their old jobs. I'm
doubtedly the manager failed to rec
ognize the boys after they had spent
so long a time in the workhouse.
Neither did he suspect any illegal
booze traffic in that hotel until the
police told him to put a stop to it.
At the time the clerk at the Opera
house drug store paid his fine, his
pocket book was not even dented.
Neither did his arrest and conviction
hazard his job with the proprietor.
Everything was neatly kept out of
the Superior papers-name of clerk,
proprietor and all.
COL. w. A. Wagner, popularity
called CAL" by his large Sunday
school class, smiles in satisfied way.
His unsuspecting nature knows moth
ing about illegal liquor sales or other
violations of the laws of man or
God. 1t even is believed that "Sun-

him count a cash regi5ter crammed
with money and life looks good to
him. Why bother with trifles?
Joe Gagnon Gets Nabbed.
Joe Gagnon,. operating the Rex
Taxi waiting room is located diagon-

as he prefers to call it. Arrests were
made in both places just week
ago. In the Rex establishment, the
police arrested Bert Walling, a taxi
driver, charged with assisting in the
transportation of liquors. Last fall,
Walling was caught in the dragnet
and it cost him $500 to get out.
!, Louis LaCone also was arrested
for illegal sale of booze. He is
credited with being Gagnon's upstairs
bartender. There are no fixtures or
furniture on the upper floor but the
police claim that LaCone has been
doing a good business, just the same.
Over in jolly old "Chet" Bells
place, the police arrested AL. Hill
grove, commonly known as "The Yell

liquor. The Bell place has the repu-

to all or else close up altogether.
Frank Collins Slips Again.
Frank Collins, proprietor of the
Collins hotel on Broadway, who has
the distinction of having paid one
of the heaviest fines yet imposed in
this city, was arrested last week in
company with A. Akin, his bartender.
Nearly eight cases of liquor were
found in the barber shop which for
merly was a part of the hotel.
Jerome Kelleher, proprietor of
Tower hotel, and william Frymiller,
another former saloon keeper, also
have been caught with liquor plants.
AS usual, they deny their guilt but
when it comes to a final wind-up it Is
expected that they will settle up.
Filing Flom was rounded up as a
boot-legger, performing the same
function in Ole Siverson's saloon at
431 Tower avenue as Danielson and
Anderson do for Gust Beck.
The police have a big job on their
hands, but with four men like Mead,
Witness, Beaton and Walker, to-
gether with special investigators,
Mayor Baxter has achieved results
which many wise Superior people
have considered impossible.
