BUSINESS EXPERT
TALKS IN DAWSON
MR.. R. H. KENNEDY DELIVERS
INTERESTING LECTURE TO
LOCAL MERCHANTS.

Those who heard the speech of MIR.
R. II. Kennedy on business methods
and efficiency, delivered in Dawson
Thursday evening, congratulated
themselves on having braved the
stormy weather to attend the lee
lure. 1t was a very interesting and
Denetiting exposition of the best
methods of store management, point
ing out the ways of failure and sue
cess and giving a wonderful insight
INTO modern business system. The
subject of Mr.. Kennedy's talk was
The Troubles of a Merchant and
How to Stop Them" and it was il
Illustrated with stereoptican views
which brought out forcibly the points
stressed by the speaker. There was
also displayed a motion picture
which told a gripping story of a mer-
chant who was a failure and who
became success through the casting
away of Anticipated methods and the
adoption Of modern system of con-
Quoting his business.
Mr.. Kennedy is associated with the
lecture bureau of the National Cash
Register company. He delivered his
lecture in Dawson under the auspices
of the Chamber of Commerce. II
was regrettable that the exceeding
ly bad weather kept a larger mum.

cause tags or labels have been torn
off, thus removing all means of To-
eating either the shipper or the con-
signee.
From July l to November 80 last
year 127, 1859 shipments were receiv-
ed by the No Mark Bureaus, all of
which were entirely without mark, or
bore addresses that could not be
made out, or consigned to destina-
tons that did not exist The size of
an article makes no difference SO far
as these bureaus are concerned, for
even aeroplanes, heavy machinery
and big castings sometimes go astray
for the lack of an address.
Great quantities of baggage are
also left stranded because old marks
from previous trips have not been
removed, or dependence was laid up
on a single tag to direct trunk, a
valise or a suitcase to destination and
! the tag was torn off in handling.
About 1900 pieces of baggage find
their way into these ''graveyards" of
the BUSINESS, eighty percent. of them
being there on account of old marks.
The present campaign aims to cure
| this trouble.
Pointing out the tremendous
growth of the express business in
recent years, Agent S. P. Davis stat
ed that more than 300,00O,OOO ship
ments a year are being handled by
the American Railway Express COM
pany, which is operating the express
business on all of the railroads of the
country. About $4,000 employees
are now engaged in various branches
of the service.
He declared that this made it the
most extensive transportation organ
ization in the world, and that the
centralized management has made it
possible to strengthen and better the
service since the merger of the pre-
viously separate lines. The consoli-
dation has also cleared the way for
an aggressive drive to improve in
ternal operating conditions and
methods, and the Better Service Cam
paign is the first step in this direc-
ton.

To Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DR.. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened by
what they have read or heard of influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the surer
you are to get it. Go right about your
business and forget it. As the disease is
spread principally by contact thru sneeZ-
ing, coughing or splitting, many health aa1
thoritieS have advised that everyone wear
a gau5e, which is daily washed and satur-
ated with one to five hundred solution
OF zinc Sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drin.1-
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots of exercise in
the open air and plenty of nourishing food.
II you have any of such symptoms as
ch1llinesS, nasal distractions, flushed face,
headache, feverishnesS, restlesSneSs, weak
ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to bed, This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and non-irritating physic as DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi-
pally OF hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get
a good sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take dose of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least q glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness of the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal Instructions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antiseptic wash as DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. 1t will give great
relief. Employed as a gargle, in same
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne, it quickly ar
rests soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients resist
ance to disease, so that there is danger of
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fortify the pa
tients's strength insist that he keep in bed
at least two days. Probably nothing will
at this stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an iron
tonic tablet called Irontic" or that well
known herbal tonic, DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which has been used
by thousands la the past two generations,

THE PIPE OF PEACE
is "HIT" BY MORE TAXES
Dealers in Cigars, Cigarette, Tobacco
and Snuff Must Be Ready.


Dealers in cigars, cigarettes, tobac-
co and snuff are warned to have
ready an inventory of stock on hand
when President Wilson signs the new
revenue bill recently passed by con-
gress imposing additional taxes on
these articles, says letter just
received from Hon. A. o. Blalock,
the collector of internal revenue.
He asks that dealers who have not
received the proper inventory forms
to write him for them.
1t is probable, according to the let
ter, that the new revenue bill will be-
come a law within two or three days
and local dealers have already an
nounced that the prices on the ar
ticles taxed will increase as soon as
the law becomes effective.
