A STITCH IN TIME
Hurley People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approaching
dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease.
Kidney disease is seldom fatal if
treated in time, but neglect may
pave the way. Don't neglect lame
or aching back another day. Don't
ignore dizzy spells, headaches,
WEAKNESS or depression. If you
feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan's Pills. For so years, Doan's
have been found effective. Endors-
ed by Hurley people. Ask your
neighbor!
Mrs. NJ. Schmangner, 81 Seventh
Ave, says: Il was troubled with
bearing-down pains in my back and l
was so lame, l could hardly work.
My kidneys acted too freely and |
was nervous. Dizzy spells, when
everything whirled about me, came
on. | used Doan's Pills from
Sullivan's Drug Store. The dizzy
spells and backache disappeared and
| was cured of kidney complaint"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Schmangner had. Foster-Milburn

Remedy Finally Found
for Sleeping Sickness

Sleeping sickness of Africa Is not
the same as that known In this coun-
try. Ii is caused usually by the bite
Of the tsetse fly, which spreads the
trypanosomes, as the irritant germs
that cause the disease are called, The
problem was to find some drug which
would kill these trypanosomes in the
blood In oil parts Of the body, and
which would. at the same time, not
harm the body, an exceedingly diff
cult and delicate matter. DIR. Wnrtel
Jacobs and Or. Michael Heldelberger
Of the Rockefeller institute undertook
this task. They took arsenic com
pounds and experimental with them,
falling time and agnin to gain the
desired effect, but noting the results
carefully and altering the compound
GO times. they finally succeeded. That
ls why the drug tryparsamlde, used
with such success against the sleeping
sickness and paresis, Is known as A63,
tho sixty-third arsenic compound. The
first experiments were conducted on
animals, md when tryporsamIde had
proved Its value, Or Louise Pearce
went to Africa and experimental with
IL on the natives.

He Hopes We Choke.

Arthur Michael Samuel, a British
economist, says that the United
States is going to choke to death on
gold.
The wish is father to the thought
In other words, he hopes we choke
to death on gold
In his opinion, the United States
is selfish in attempting, by putting
the Dawes-plan German bank on a
gold basis, to hasten the return of
the gold standard to Europe, because
the United States wants, in this
manner, to disgorge her gold and
save herself from choking to death
on it, economically and industrially
speaking.
But many of our European breth-
ern would be glad to die the same
way. Whatever they may say about
the United States is nothing more
than an expression of their envy.
They would be only too glad to
have our gold They would die for
it or on it.
They have never shipped back any
of our gold. 1t has been poured in
streams for the relief of the war
destitute No humanitarian appeal
has ever come from across the
Atlantic that has not been answered
with American gold.
1t is very poor grace for an
Englishman or any European to ex-
press malice for America. Our
record is clean-just as clean as our
gold.

Heart Is Injured by
Americas SDift Pace

More deaths occur today In America
from various diseases of the heart
than from any other cause. says the
New York Times. A few years ago
tuberculosis headed the list, but while
the number of deaths from this cause
have been reduced, those from heart
trouble of various kinds have In
creased
The decrease in the ravages of
tuberculosis is explained by the great
educational campaigns carried on
throughout the country for combating
the evil and to improved sanitary con-
dltions.
The increase in heart troubles ia at
tributed largely to the increasing pace
of modern life In America. A decade
ago the death rate from tuberculosis
was 1892 per 10000. At that time
the death rate from heart troubles
was 400. A recent survey showed
that while the rate for tuberculosis
has been reduced to 1142, that for
heart disease has jumped to 14i.0.
The highest fatality from heart dis
ease has been found in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Massa in the
order named. The lowest death rate
is reported in Montana. Mississippi,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Nebraska. II
is increasing In New York.

He would be just as bad off If he could

Iron and Steel
Show Improvement
Market Has Taken on More Activity;
Manufacturing Needs
Expanding

Cleveland, Ohio--August turned
the iron and steel market toward
better activity after five months
of declining tonnage and while the
improvement has not been large, 1t
has been substantial. This latter
description still fits the week-to-
week condition. Manufacturing
needs have expanded in various
directions and still are growing
though not in a Inform way. New
construction has held up well. Rail-
road demands now are being put
forward in an impressive way. Pig
IRON prices appear to have become
better stabilized than those in steel
and the fluctuations of the latter are
impelling buyers to move with eau
ton where future needs are involved
A four months decline in pig iron
production was checked in August.
This was accomplished entirely by
the renewed activities of steelworks
furnaces This group showed gain
Of lOO,l05 tons over August, while
merchants stacks were losing 25,O66
tons additional. Total production
in August was l,874,920 tons against
I,783,457 tons in July, a gain of
91,468 tons. A gain Of was re-
corded in the list Of furnaces active
at the end Of August, the total being

Quoting The Bible.

A southern manufacturer, writing
letter against prohibition to the
Manufacturers Record, says: "We
are commanded to eat and drink to-
day for tomorrow we die"
The Record points to the utter
folly of the man in thinking that he
was quoting the Bible, for this refer
ence was to the Jews, who failing to
follow the warning of the prophet,
and full of hilarity, said; LET us
EAT and drink, for tomorrow we shall
die"
1t was not a commandment, but
people have a failing of quoting the
Bible to suit their purpose.
The way the scriptures are misin-
terpretted and disconnected passages
brought together to uphold some par
ticular view, might be illustrated in
the old saying. showing harm that
may be done by misplacing Scriptural
passages:
Judas went out and hanged him
self"
go thou and do likewise"

turn, the railroads will be equal to
the task Of handling the traffic,
those who had been studying the
situation maintain. The Eastern
presidents conference has just pre-.
pared a chart Of the condition Of
the railroads, which indicates that
they are much better prepared than
in February Of 1923.
For example, the surplus freight
cars on hand February /, while not
nearly as many as expected, total
169, 036, as compared with 26,5SS at
the same period of last year. Be.
sides this the motive power shows
the same improved condition. There
are 4,116 locomotives ready to do
service, but not in use, as compared
with total Of 589 at the same time
year ago.
The executives also point to the
number Of new cars and locomotives
placed In service during 1928 that
are ready for service this year. The
number Of such cars totals 197,875,
while the number placed in service
the previous year was but SO. $50.
A similar comparison shows that
the number Of locomotives placed
in service In the year Just closed
and ready to move the 1924 business
was 4,0S7, as compared with 1879
in 1922.
On the physical side, executives
almost universally pointed to the
tremendous strides made during 1929
in placing the roadbed and struc-
lures in the best condition possible.
All Of this will be of material as.
sistance In handling whatever bust.
ness is offered this year.
But aside from any physical con-
siderations the roads universally
comment on the improved morale of
the workmen. The old spirit of 10y
atty has gradually returned since
the end Of the war, and the result
is more enthusiastic and conscien-
tious effort. This will play even a
larger part In the handling OF traf-
fic during 1924 than in the previous
year, It Is pointed out.
Most of the railroads have the
shipments strike far enough behind
them so that 1t Is almost forgotten.
They have recovered from the eff.
fects of the coal strike, and most
of them have large piles of coal on
