Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, viii do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can

New York Kids
Below Average

months. At the same time those for
girls increase from 20.S9 inches and
S.65 pounds under one month to 1852
inches and 1925 pounds at seventy-one
months. The boys average from one
third to one-half inch taller and weigh
about a pound more than the girls of
the same age"
New York Average Lowest.
Comparisons made were for Iowa,
California and New York city with
averages for all white children in the
United States. California stood firSt
and New York city last in this COM
parison. The proportion Of children
whose parents were born in the
United States was highest in Iowa,
822 per cent; in California it was
62.4 and in New York city, 22.7.
"In New York." the report declares
in this connection, "Italy was most
largely represented with POT; followed
by Russia, with III per cent; Austria
Hungary, 1872; Great Britain, Ireland
and British possessions with 9.5 per
cent. (Ireland alone, rs per cent?
Germany with 1.9 per cent, and PO-
land with IT per cent"
The same three groups were studied
to determine whether in different Sec
tions there are significant differences
in stature and weight.
Tables show that measurements Of
the Iowa children exceed the average
by a fifth of an inch in Stature. Cal
ifornia children averaged two-fifths
Of an inch taller and three-quarters
of a pound heavier than the mean.
New York city children show half an
inch deficiency in stature.
The tables show that the average
boy in the United States seventy-one
months old is 43.1 inches tall, while
the average New York city boy Of the
same age is 43.45. A similar COM
parison of girls shows these figures !:
1857 and 43.14 inches.
In weight the figures are: Average
boy seventy-one months old, 41.60
pounds; New York city boy is but
41.15 pounds: girls, 40.56- for the ma
ton and 40.61 for New York
Defects Recorded.
In California and New York city
defects were also recorded. The defect
most often reported was diseased and
enlarged tonsils, 17.7 per cent Of the
children under seven years Of age who
we're examined being reported as
having abnormal tonsils.
Six and four-tenths per cent of the
children examined we're reported as
having adenoids. The percentages in
crease from II for children under
one year to 11.6 for children six years
of age.
In California and New York city
683 children under seven years of age
were diagnosed as having rachitis.
These children, in comparison with
average children showed a deficiency
In stature of 1h inches or 3.4 per
cent. A tendency appears for this de-
fciency In stature to increase with age
Thus among children two years of
age the deficiency is twice as much as
that among those three years of age.
The deficiency weight is even more
marked. Thus the average deficiency
for all children under seven was nearly
two pounds, or 7.8 per cent.
In all, sol children were diagnosed
as being malnourished.

chattels, If paid wages as high as their
value and company profits will allow,
and If met man to man by the en-
ployer, will give the same sort of q

II Christ Conducted Plant.
Mr.. Eagan pointed out two of the
dominant ideas of the program of the
teachings of Christ, as he understands
them. One is that If Christ were to
run plant he would:
Give every man and woman year
round job; no layoffs; no short time |;
no reductions in pay at any time.
Give every man a living wage, one
that would make him and his wife
and children comfortable at least.
And this has been strictly followed

CALOMEL GOOD
But TREACHEROUS
Next Dose May SaIivate, Shock
Liver or Attack Your
Bones.

You know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel Is danger
GUS. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickenIng you.
CalOmel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, Just 90 to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomell 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a~day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.-Advertisement.

Directors Try to Conduct Bir-
mingham Iron Works as
Christ Would.
WORKERS ARE ALL SATISFIED
Year Round Jobs, No Layoffs or Short
Time. No Cuts in Pay Is Policy
Care for Welfare of
Employees.

Birmingham, Ala.-Dlrectors of the
American Cast Iron Pipe company of
Birmingham were in annual session.
Routine business had been disposed of
and the time for the election of officers
had come. A member arose and pro-
posed the name of John ]. Eagan,
prominent in business, philanthropy,
and in reform projects in the South.
Born with the silver spoon in his mouth
he had Increased his fortune by wise
investments and sage business deals,
and had become known as a leader in
all movements for the betterment of
his fellow man.
Mr.. Eagan was unanimously elected
president of this great concern, one of
the largest and the most prosperous in
the South and one marked by the good
will evident always between employer
and employee.
Then another member took the floor
to propose that from this time on it be
formally made a platform of the COM
pany that employer and employee:
"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you. Follow in the foot
steps of Christ"
Motion Unanimously Adopted.
There was mild surprise only ex-
pressed as the motion was seconded
There were no questions as to It's wis
dom. There was only the motion to
adopt made and the second. The vote
in its favor was unanimous. And when
this most unusual action of the COM
pany directors became known, 1t
seemed to embarrass the new president
that he was called upon to explain and
almost defend the new standard of
action.
81 don't see why anybody should feel
that 1t is unusual, this action of ours" ;"
he said, "and l really don't like to talk
about it, The directors didn't care to
have this platform advertised 1t didn't
mean anything to them, because that
is what we have been doing in reality
all the time. All the platform meant
was a mere fOrmality.
81 wouldn't even talk about 1t if it
were not for the fact that it is possible
other business concerns may read
about 1t and may think it worth while
trying"
Mr. Eagan asserted his belief that 1t
was largely due to the favor in which
the Lord held this plan of cooperation
that the company had prospered during
what had proved hard and difficult
year for other concerns.
He stated it as his belief that one of
the things most necessary in concern
run after the manner Of the teachings
Of Jesus Christ is that every employee
get continuous employment even If the
employer managed to make no profit.
Not that Mr.. Eagan is doubtful over
that point. He is really and honestly
convinced that Christ will help those
who aid others and that in the last
analysis the spirit of Jesus is predOm-
lnant In all men. He believes that all
who are fair and square in business
dealings-and that is all he believes
Christ would ask-will in the long run
win over trickery. He believes in hon
esty.
He believes that employees, if they

seem to be the case.
"It seems that the very metals from
which the coins are made act to de-
stroy the bacterias which reach the
coins. In the study only the more re-
sIstant Of bacteria, the spore-forming
bacteria, were found. This indicates
that money need not be feared, for
bacteria cannot live long on 1t.
'aThese findings, however, do not
justify holding coins in the mouth
while the hands are serving other
purposes"

time and have earned 1t, and all the
year round the plant has paid more
than the standard scale. In other
words, 1t has become a badge Of dis
tinction in Birmingham to have 1t
known that you work for the plant.
The company has provided the en-
ployees with big Y. NJ. G. A. building,
which has become a center Of all their
social activities. And 1t has grown to
mean more than that. Now 1t has a
staff of dentists, physicians, nurses and
all kinds of experts.
1t has been the aim of the company
from the beginning to take care, in so
far as is possible, of the social,
physical and economic welfare of all
its employees and to bring about a
healthful spirit Of cooperation and
good will.
