BOOK AGENTS AND
VISIONS

We sat in little restaurant out In
Mankato, Mimi, and talked of many
things. Two things 1 chiefly remem-
Der. One was the enthusiasm and de-
termination that Josephine Sizer was
putting into her new job Of being
president of the Minnesota w. G. T. u.
The other was the story of how she
got her training in leading folks. That
she does lead them is evidenced by
the fact that some 10000 people an
nually go to hear her lecture, espe-
cially in churches, camp meetings and
Bible Institutes.
Once upon time, SO the story ran,
Mrs. Sizer was far from we'll. The
doctor prescribed an absolute change
Of scene, new people, new interests.
Now Josephine Sizer was the shy de-
voted wife of Methodist minister.
She shrank not only from strangers.
but from anything that would make
her prominent even among her hus-
bands congregation. And the family
purse was the proverbially lean ar
ticle possessed by a country minister.
AS she did her housework, dreams
of far people and places born of the
doctors prescription slipped into her
mind. And along came stranger who
made those vague dreams real. Under
his arm was volume of a famous Sc
ries of lectures. Warmed by his lis
tener's attention, he grew eloquent.
Finally, "Why, those books are as
good as a tripI" exclaimed the
woman.
An adroit question from the man,
and her story was out. Her enthusi-
asm for the travel lectures persisted.
The stranger saw its value to his COM
pany. He persuaded her, the shy lit
tie woman, to share her vision with
other housebound women. She learned
to talk, to sell ideas as well as books.
She regained her health. She made
money.
Then-"Why. If have this gift" she
said to herself, 81 ought to put it to
still better service" So she has
done SO.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
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 healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..

THE FACTORY AND THE
FAMILY
o. 1924. by Laura Miller

When Mrs. Ehmann was widowed,
there was obviously nothing to do ex-
cept to have her son leave home for
some job that would keep himself aud
the family going. San Francisco was
the nearest city to the half-deserted
mining town Of Oroville where the
Ehmanns lived. So to San Francisco
the boy went. A wholesale hardware
store put him on as travelling sales
man, and the family was-though not
by too wide a margin-saved from
penury.
On trip home the boy gazed. up at
the neglected olive trees on the hill.
side. Had some queer ripe olives to
eat the other day." he remarked cas-
ually. Tasted good, too But they're
imported all the way from Spain, so
they cost too much for me to bring
you some. You might try picking
these"
From his remark grew trip across
the bay to the university next time he
was in the city. There, apparently the
only place in California, was filed
away a recipe for picking ripe olives.
Mrs. Ehmann found an empty keg or
two, which for lack of room indoors,
she had to prop up under the house
porch on the sloping mountainside
When her son came home, she opened
a jar of ripe olives. "Um-m," he said
5udicially, good, but not quite as good
as those imported fellows"
Try these" said his mother, hold
ing out another open jar. II thought
I'd experiment bit with that recipe"
"Why, mother, 1 could sell those as
a sideline to the hardware jobl" said
the boy. "Can you do it againT'
"Oh, yes" said the woman who
loved her kitchen, 1--WE kept copy of
just what 1 did. But you'll like this
third batch still better" And he did.
So did the trade" when he began to
peddle Ehmann's olives on his route.
So, gradually, did the rest of the
United States, as the keg under the
porch grew into q factory that put
money into the pockets of OroVille
"hands."
For the Ehmanns have never be-
come too self-important for the little
mountainside town. The business
started of necessity as family indus
try. A family industry so far as DOS
sible it has remained. The tiny house
with the porch hung over the noun
tafnside has become house that is
plenty big enough for comfort, even
when the grandchildren are at home,
but that lacks all the ostentation of
the typical "new--rich folks" mansion.
And the devotion of these same grand
children, together with the occasional
presidency of the Oroville w. G. T. u,
have proved quite enough honor to
satisfy the founder of the first ripe
olive business in America.

40 Operations in
2 Years, His Record

Philadelphia. = Forty-nine blood
transfusions within two years is the
record of Charles Donnelly of Locust
Gap, Pa, who is puzzling physicians in
Jefferson hospital, where he is suffer-
ing from anemia. Donnelly submitted
to the. first operation in September,
1922, and since then has had transfu-

His brothers, Frank, John, Joseph
and Thomas, make periodical trips to
the hospital, each time furnishing
blood for their brother.
Donnelly said he was growing weaker
since the last TRANSMISSION a few weeks
ago and that he needed more blood. He
said that besides his brothers, several
students had offered to give their
blood.

Sole Survivor of Generals
Original Command.

Springfield, Ill.-Eight miles west Of
Springfield, on the public highway to
Jacksonville, Israel F. Pearce, patri-
arch, veteran of Grants army and
participant in Sherman's march to the
sea, lives in solitude on the land where
General Grant pitched camp On his
first days march into the Civil war.
Pearce, the only man now living
out of the entire regiment which went
into encampment on this spot of
ground the night of July 8, 1861, main
tains a guard over the old camp ground
and over General Grants tree" a
large, peculiarly shaped black walnut

Raises His Flag Daily.
Every morning at sunrise the tat
tered old flag belonging to Pearce is
raised from a 30-foot fiagpole near his
house, and every evening at shutdown
the flag is lowered.
Pearce acts as guardian for this
historic spot and is glad to relate it's
history to passing tourists, although
the historical connection is known to
few people, and no marks, save the
veterans flag, are to be seen on the
land.
General Grants tree" some three
feet in diameter, stands near the
house. Here, Pearce tells tourists, he
saw Grant, sitting astride a peculiar
limb growth, near the ground, writ
ing out the first days orders. Grants
tent was pitched few feet from the
tree, and he once addressed the regi-

A yellow River In the Atlantic.
In January, 1909, a peculiar phe-
nomenon was observed in the Atlantic
ocean. Running parallel with the
warm clear blue waters of the Gulf
stream from Cape Florida to Cane
Hatteras, there was a yellow river
three miles wide. 1t lasted for a few
weeks and then faded away into the
surrounding ocean. Some cataclysm
on the face of the deep, probably of
volcanic origin, had evidently set this
yellow stream in motion.
The dull reddish tint of the Red
sea Is impaired to it by millions of
microscopic algae. A host of the min
ute Dinofiagellata sometimes will red
den the ocean for miles.
THE lovely blue of the waters sur
rounding the coral islands of the South
seas, which have long been famous in
song and story, is said to be due to
the calcium carbonate which is held
in solution.
"fhe degree of penetration of light
into water is contributing factor in
the color of various bodies of water.

through high hills which shut out the
light and its bed is cut 600 feet deep

it flows.
"In 1901, the sea off the California
coast turned almost black, the waters
of Santa Cruz bay becoming particu-
larly inky, but no satisfactory expla-
nation has ever been offered of the
occurrence"
