From School Teacher
to Great Eminence

A young man who was brought
up on a farm in Western Pennsyl-
vania studied diligently and quail
fed for district school teacher. Fur
ther pursuing his studies and teach
ing, he managed to save up enough
money to put him thru medical col
lege. He began the practice of
medicine in the new oil section of
Pa.
He was a student Of nature, knew
and could easily recognize most of
the medical plants growing in the
woods.
Later, he moved to Buffalo, N. Y,
where he launched his favorite RENE
dies, and in a short time they were
sold by every druggist in the land
Today, the name of this man, Dr.
r. V. Pierce, is known throughout
the world. His Golden Medical Dis
covery is the best known blood medi-
cine and tonic. More than fifty mil
lion bottles have been sold in the
U. S. If your druggist does not sell
the Golden Medical Discovery, in
liquid or tablets, you can obtain a
trial pkg. of the tablets by sending

CHICAGO, Oct. Down the
long winding trail of the road to

men that don't fit in" are moving
again.
\Once more the move is taking them
nowhere in particular, except that it
will eventually find them roaming
about under sunny skies during the
winter.
For almost six months, these men
have been somewhere in the north.
Some have been working-in the har-
vest fields and places of that kind.
Others have been merely rowing.
Play Most of Time
Quite a few have been content to
stop-over in the big cities for the
summer, working part Of the time,
but playing most of 1t.
Many of them have "summered"
in Chicago, spending much of their
time around the Hobo College," So
called because 1t was organized
strictly for those men the world calls

Here at this place on a summer
evening one may sit for hours,
listening to tales that had their or
igin in all parts Of the world. .
Contrary to public opinion most OF
these men are not what the public
calls buns" as far as intelligence
is concerned.
Sometimes they sit throughout an
evening discussing various philoso-
plies. The discussion occasionally
shifts to literature and they are well
read as a general rule. Quotations
from Emerson, Milton, sometimes
Plato and Socrates. frequently crop
up in their conversation.
They move about in the warm
countries during the summer. Then
they gather here and in other large
cities for the summer discussions,
working just enough to provide food
ard clothing.

during the summer always stop
over here for { while before leaving

but the whole tendency Of the times
is in that direction"
The First Step
First, it was found that many
members of the Jewish unions did
not work on Saturday, for religious
reasons. The five-day week was the
result in some Of those unions.
LAS the automobile came into
common use, there was a growing
desire on the part of thousands who
hitherto had been cooped up in the
cities, to seek the country on Sat
urday afternoons. Half holidays on
Saturdays followed. In some indus
tries it was found that it was not
satisfactory to operate plants only
half a day on Saturdays and many
concerns closed down entirely on
that day.
This caused falling off in trade
of department stores on Saturdays
and many of these big establish
ments adopted the fiveday week.
There is not enough work to go
around in the mines, so the five-day
week is being employed as a means
