WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOF

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
ByF A. Walker

By F. A. Walker

If the widow had decided, despite
the directions of Elisha, that the pot
Of oil had no possibilities Of solving
her financial difficulties, she would
have lost her sons to her creditors
and the whole plan of the restoration
Of herself and her family to happi-
ness and comfort would have mis-
carried.
II is well to know accurately just
what our resources are. We should
know just what we are capable Of
accomplishing and then be sure that
the accomplishment itself is 100 per
cent Of our possibilities.
Look through your mental house
and your physical house and you
might even take a hurried glance at
your moral house.
See what is there of which you
are not making the fullest and most
profitable use.
See too, what is there that should
NOT be there. that is hinderimg in
stead of helping you, and get rid
Of It.
Maybe you have a lot Of oil quite
as valuable as was the Widows and
are IabOring as she was under the
impression that you are without re-
sources. The old-time miracle can be
repeated in YOUR case. if you go
1Out it in the right way.

many young women are leaving the
regular library to take up allied work
that pays better
The new demand outside Of the reg
ular library comes from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature of all
sorts is part OF their daily material.
and they see the need of a proper In
dexing for all this material, and for
making it available for immediate use
as the books in library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as a lawyer or a doctor
with a large practice. Such men will
often have a whole library that is use
less unless properly indexed
Many women who began as rbrar-

tions. where their library training
proved the essential in their new
work.
As the Librarian can as yet look for

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
'TYANKEE." "

WY HILE the genesis of the
4. w term Yankee" as applied
I by the English to Americans in
general, by SOuthernerS to those
residing in the North and by
. Northerners to New Englanders,
is shrouded in the mists Of
colonial antiquity. there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks of truth and
logic.
The first. and most generally
accepted Of these, is that the
word is corruption Of the
French Anglais or English
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days Of
the colonies. History states that
"YenSeese" was as close as the
Indians could come TO the pro-
nunciatiOn either Of the word
"Anglais" or English and it
is easy 10 see how this. in turn.
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Another explanation, a triae
more scholarly. is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankieH meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
~Jankin." which was the diminu
tive of Jan or John. One au-
therity goes so far as TO declare
that "Jankin" was the generic
name applied to the English set
tiers of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York.
The first known use of the 1,
term in print occurred in a
poem entitled Oppression" !.
published In 1865, in which ap- I.

IN YOUR HOUSE.

YOU are not careful reader of
the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which 1t details
are In the New Testament, but if you
VIII turn to the fourth chapter of
III Kings you may read an enter
tanning story Of one of the remarkable
things performed by Elisha in the
multiplication of the pot OF OIL.
Elisha performed many miracles,
but Of them all this one is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one of the wives of the
sons Of the prophets tells Elisha that
her creditors have come TO take her
two sons as bondmen in settlement Of
what she owes.
Elisha asks her what she has in
the house which might he available
to settle the debt. Her reply is that
her only possession is a pot Of oil
At his direction the woman sends
her sons to gather all the empty re-
ceptacles in the neighbOrhoOd and
when they have been brought she
obeys the command of Elisha that
she shall pour from the pot of oil into
the empty vessels and this she con
tinues to do until all are filed and
then she sells enough of the store of
oil to pay her debts and there is sufii-
cient left to supply her and her sons.
What have YOU in YOUR house7
The trouble with most Of us is tha!
we never value very highly the posl
bilities of what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
ways looks bigger and fairer to Us
than the one in our hand.
The job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and mere salts
factory than our employment.
The other mans lot always seems
pleasanter than ours and his pros
poets and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble is we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
ly use rrsat we have "in OUR house"
Sgsz zess is made up entirely of what
we have and how we use it.
No man was ever born who did not
have the possibility of success.
No man ever lived who did not
have plenty of opportunity to sue
ceed.
The man who says Il never had a
chance is just lying to himself as
an excuse for his failure.
Lord Bacon said, a wise man will
make more opportunities than he
fnds,7 and that is much truer than
the fthous poem Senator Ingalls,
wrote that pictured opportunity as
knocking only once at a mans door

the back of her head completely

Navy finds itself the possessor of tract

Government has been defrauded has as
sumed the proportions of scandal
He said the best men In his organization
have been concentrated in a drive to
correct present abuses and to punish tax
delInquents. Mr.. Blair said the present
aim Of the Administration Is to reduce
taxes and that the day of lower taxation
can be speeded by forcing into line the

The present campaign started by the
Internal Revenue Bureau is directed

DR.. Salmon Says Proper Treat

Most of Them.
Special Despatch to 1Hn New YORK HEsALp.
New York Herald Fsureau,(
Washington, ID. c., July 8.

Washington, d. c., July 9.
DR.. Thomas w. Salmon of New York,
In testifying to-day before the Senate
committee investigating the condition Of
disabled ex-soldiers. declared that in
1920 400 former soldiers took their own
lives in New York State
DR.. Salmon, who was a colonel in the
Medical Corps in the war; added:
"Most of those unfortunate men would
be alive to-day il they had received the
proper attention. 1t is time to think
about the 400 or more young ex-soldiers
who may commit suicide in the next
year"
DR.. Salmon objected to the use of old
cantonments as hospitals, saying: "If
we fill them with invalids the first thing
we should do would be to erect a monu-
ment in the centre or the cantonment
with an inscription on it stating that 1t
was destroyed, not as an act OF God,
but because the Government found it
cheaper to burn its insane veterans than
to care for them"
He said the Government sent some OF
it's insane soldiers to Evergreen Hos
near Albany. but the contract was can
celled.
THE officer who had charge of the
men," he said, didn't have energy
enough to find out that the institution
was not suitable for the treatment Of
insanity
1t is now apparent. DR.. Salmon said
that ex-soldiers in New York who are
i'll mentally must go either to asylums
or receive home treatment, as there is
no accommodation in the district for
them.
