A Helping Hand Extended to Many
Old People i'm McCOnnelsville

The infirmities of age are many.
Most old people have a bad back.

Or worn out with years of work.
Backache means days of misery,
Urinary troubles, nights of un-
rest.

to make life easier for many.
They are doing so for old and
young.
McConnelsville people are learn
ing this.
Read the following local endorse
ment.
George H. Best, retired farmer,
Vine ST., says: "I think hard work
weakefed my kidneys and mornings
my back troubled me. Whenever ]
stopped pains gripped my back and
Il could hardly straighten. A dull
steady ache across my back wore me
out and l could hardly keep going
My kidneys were in bad shape and
Lit was hard to pass the secretions
which contained a brick-dust sedi-
ment and burned in passage. A rel,
ative advised me to try Doan's Kid.
ney Pills and they were just the
remedy needed. After usine
Doan's, the backache left and my
kidneys acted normally"

TAKE THEIR PLEASURE NOW
Young Chicago Couple Evidently Be-
lieves in Verse, "Gather We Roses
While We May"

The Woman knows couple whO've
Just gone abroad. The husband Is a
young writer who earns very mod
crate income and the wife is an artist
who receives small returns.
"We're just going to enjoy ourselves
for six weeks or two months" they
told the Woman. "YOu see we had a
little saved up and we were going to
struggle to save more by great econo-
my and self-denial. And then we
talked to one of our neighbOrs. He
used to be as poor as we are-once.
And by stinting and scraping and wise
investment he is a well-to-dO man now.
eve asked him why he didn't travel
and he said he had always meant to
and, yet, while he was young, he felt
he should be saving for the future.
And now that he has saved-it was
saved with such self-denial that he
just can't go out and spend it. He took
a little trip this summer, but came
back in a week-he couldn't bear to
see the money which had been accu-
mulated by small amounts go out in
big ones.
$50 we made up our minds that we'd
travel when we could enjoy it, and not
wait for the days when our enthusiasm
and our nerve at money-spending
would be gone" Chicago Journal.

Journal Describes
'SMOuntain of Cold

In a paper on the "Fisk Expeditions
to the Gold Country" read by DR..
Lester B. Shippee at the State His.
torical convention in Redwood Falls on
June %, an interesting story was told
{ a lost mountain of gold" in the
Bad Lands not far from the Little
Missouri. The Fisk expeditions of
1862, 1868, 1864, and 1866 started
rom Fort Abercrombie and conveyed
gold hunters to Montana and the gold
rere supported by the United States
government.
The only day-by-day record of the
"a expedition is that kept by DR..
William D. Dibb, a copy of whose
journal is now owned by the Min
nesota Historical society. This jour-
nal records a trip made by Captain
six and DR.. Dibb which took them a
considerable distance away from the
wagon train. They entered a "deep,
gloomy chasm" and soon found traces
of gold. Leading from this chasm
was deep coulee penetrating the
heart of the mountain. The feelings
of the discoveries are described in
the Dibb journal: eve climbed up
the side of the mountain for more
than 800 feet, and found the gold
outcroppings far richer there than at
the base, 1t was so rich that the
gold struck out all over it and gave
the face of the cliff yellowish tinge.
Suddenly it dawned on us that we had
stumbled on a veritable mountain of
gold, on which human eyes, except
those of Indians, never before had
rested. We yelled, we shouted, and
we prayed"
On their way back Dibb and Fisk
were attacked by Indians and fled for
their lives. Dibb died not long aft
erward and Fisk spent his last years
1T the Minnesota Soldiers home.
There is no record of the lost noun
tain of gold ever having been again
located.
In addition to the Dibb journal the
historical society now has on file a
my of the journal of Samuel r.
Bond for the journey of 1862. Bond
served as secretary Of the expedition
and his official report was published
bv the United States government.
The diary, however, contains much
that is omitted from the published
report.-Monteyedio News.

Records Patients Rest.

Recording continuously the slightest
movements of patient in bed, and
thereby determining the hours of COM
plete and untrOubled rest he has had,
is an idea recently introduced. This re-
suit is obtained by first placing sheet
of rubber beneath one of the bed
posts and attaching special apparatus
to the post. The apparatus consists
briefly, of lever, one end of which is
fastened to the bed post. the other
having a recording pen affixed TO 1t.
Underneath the pen is located clock
work drum containing a chart divided
into "a hours, so that continuous
curve of the sleepers movements is
kept and may be consulted If it is de-
sired to ascertain how he has rested,
or to convince a patient that he has
moderated his hours Of rest.-Popular

Whittier Are We
Jazzing?

Dallas Journal: A story out of New
ark tells use that the inventor of the
famous Maxim silencer for firearms
has resorted to the courts in an effort
to silence jazz band which operates
in a dance hall near his country es.
tate. Another story, out of Chicago,
tells that certain powers that be in
the world of syncopation have agreed
that jazz must be made jazzier.
So there we are, with tastes di-
rectly in conflict, and none of US
knowing just where this jazz-pace is
going to lead us. 1t will be inter-
esting to note the outcome of Hud-
son Maxim's attempt to suppress
the raucous noises which have driven
peace out of his countryside. Per-
haps Mr.. Maxim is just a cranky
old man. There will be many Amer
leans to insist that he is. But he
has his sympathizers and his followers
in this his hour of trial and protest.
Should he succeed in obtaining a
decree of injunction, the victory may
lead to the enactment of laws in
protection of the sensitive taste of
those who are panied by scrambled
music. Failing at that, Mr.. Maxim
might invent a silencer for saxophones,
md bring the strength of his follow
ers to bear in an effort to make
the use of such silencers compulsory.
A possible way out of the trouble
might be to equip dancers with indi-
v;dual receiving sets, to be worn on
the ears like mufflers, and have dance
music broadcast by radio from a far
distance.

Hot Dogs.

Philadelphia Record: Before she'd
ding any tears over the apparent de-
motion in the school of life of the
putative head of a New York brok-
erage house, who, has, after achieving
a 100000 failure, descended from
the sale of guilt-edged securities to
the peddling of hot dogs from a
roadside stand, let us consider the
commercial status of the hot dog.
The hot dog is the most popular of
CANNES. The demand for him is in
satiable and universal. So keen is the
appetite of Americans for hot dogs
that hundreds of thousands of far
sighted merchants all over the ocun-
try are rushing into the business of
surveying them, and are still unable
to respond adequately to the eager
aruisitions of the dog eaters The
principal transcontinental highways
are already lined with hot dog stands
placed at intervals of half a mile
srom coast to coast, and the pros
poets are that during the present
season the gaps between will be rapid
~ filled up, so that the hungry mot
orist may be supplied at any stage of
his journey without moments de-
lay. Hot dog stands are appearing on
the byroads, and are causing conges-
ion at the gateways of all our large
cities.
We do not know what proportion of
the population is engaged in the sale
# hot dogs, but we do know that
the profession welcomes with open
arms additions to its ranks; that there
IS urgent need for more hot dog
stands; that hot dogs are honest and
necessary merchandise, and any man
