NO JOB FOR PERFUMED MAN. Chicago Employer* Say That They Don't Want Him Around. Men In business have formed such an antipathy to the man who uses perfumery or has the barber put any thing on his hair that has any fra grance in it that many men who don’t know this are unable to connect with good Jobs which might be theirs if they did know it. Even the women have become af fected. In more than one Chicago business house the stenographers have been asked to forego dousing a lot of scent u-pon their handkerchiefs or blouses. A slight trace is not dis agreeable, but in some cases even •he smallest vestige is objected to. This applies to the women. To the men the slightest shadow of it is fatal. It was only the other day the man ager of a hopse in which many men •re employed was exarning an appli cant for a position. The applicant eras neatly dressed, had a pleasing al though a slightly bold appearance and talked correctly and intelligently, al though a trifle egotistically. Suddenly the manager, who had ■oemed to be weighing in his mind the merits and demerits of the appli cant. said: “Sorry, but we can't use you.” “Can you tell me why?" asked the applicant; "perhaps if I were given gn opportunity ” The manager cut him short. "That's Just the trouble,” he said. "You were given an opportunity and you rejected it” “But I've been given no opportun tty,” said the man, not knowing what j nras meant. “Yes, you were,” answered the man ager, "you’ve been given an oppor tunity to cover yourself with cheap ferfumery and of that chance you taost generously have availed your- Mlf. We can’t use walking perfume iottloa.” Others managers took the same Tlew. They said that the day of the CCented business man had gone by. They also said that their experience taught them that the man who used Cirfuniery was likely to spend In Inking about himself time that he *ught to give to this work. —Chicago Tribune. / Winter Work for Automobile. There Is a farmer out in Walworth County who lilt upon a novel way of Baking the money he has tied up In cn automobile. He uses the machine to the summer, but when winter sets to there is little pleasure or profit to automoblllng and most of the gaso lene buggies are left standing idle. In the case of this thrifty settler, how ever, there Is no waste of this kind. He strips the machine of its wheels and sets It upon skids in the loft of ene of the farm buildings. With a iywheel on one of the rear hubs and a drive wheel on the other he uses lie engine to do all the farm grinding, pumping, feed cutting and other work Where power Is required. In this way fte saves the cost of another gasolene anglne, such as most farmers are now , aslng.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Noiseless Steam Engine Exhauet. The gas engfbe Is not the only of* Coder In the matter of noisy exhaust. uffling tanks to minimise the nolee af the escape of exhaust steam from JUgh -pressure non-condensing steam anglnes are sometimes needed. In auch cases It suffices to insert near the engine a tank of 15 or 20 times toe volume of the cylinder and con tinue the exhaust pipe from this muf fer. This will do away with the dis tnrbance caused by high-pressure ex haust steam passing through a tor tuous exhaust pipe. FOOLED THE PREACHER. A Doctor's Brother Thought Postum Was Coffee. A wise doctor found out coffee was fcurting him so he quit drinking It. He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how he fooled his brother, a clergy man, one day at dinner. She says: “Doctor found coffee was injuring him and decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now for four years with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of ills that follow coffee drink ing- “To show how successful we are in making Postum properly, I will relate •n incident. At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we serve Pos tum instead of ordinary coffee. “Doctor’s brother, a clergyman, •opposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as he called for his second cup, ‘lf you do preach against coffee I see you haven’t forgotten how to make it.' " This goes to show that well-made —fully boiled —Postum has much the flavor and richness of good coffee al though it has an individuality all its own. A ten days' trial will prove that ft has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee but will correct the troubles caused by coffee. “There's a reason.” Name furnished by Pos tum Cos., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. _ TO THE RIVERS WE MUST TURN Roads Having Failed, President Takes a New Tack. APPOINTS A COMMISSION With the Object of Devising Plans for Transportation By Waterways. Writes Letter on Subject. Complying with petitions presented by numerous commercial organiza tions of the Mississippi valley, Presi dent Roosevelt has decided to appoint an inland waterw r ay3 commission whose duty it will be to prepare a comprehensive plan for the improve ment and control of the river systems of the United States. Eight public men have been asked to serve on the commission, and Representative Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, chair man of the rivers and harbors com mittee in the last congress, is to be chairman. In a letter which he has addressed to each of these persons, the president sots out that ne is influenced in creat ing the commission by considerations ot national policy; that the railroads arc no longer able to move crops and manufactures rapidly enough to so cuie the prompt tr.tvsactiou of busi ness, and that there appears but one complete remedy —the development of a complementary system of transpor tation by water. Tlio president’s letter, in part, is as follows: “The White House, Washington, March 14, 1907.—My Dear Sir: Num erous commercial organizations of tho Mississippi valley have presented pe titions asking that I appoint a com mission to prepare and present a com prehensive plan for the improvement and control of the river systems of the United States. I have decided to comply with these requests by ap pointing an inland waterways commis sion. and I have asked the following gentlemen to act upon it. I shall be much gratified if you will consent to serve; Hon. Theodore H. Burton, chairman; Senator Francis G. Row lands, Senator William Warner, Hou. John H Bankhead, Gen. Alexander Mackenzie, Dr. W. J. McGee, F. H. Newell, Gifford Pinchoa, Hon. Her bert Knox Smith. “In creating this commission, I am influenced by broad considerations of national policy. The energy of our people has hitherto been largely di rected toward industrial development connected with field and forest., and wrth coal and iron., and some of these sources of material and power are al ready largely depleted; while our in land waterways as a whole have thus far received scant attention, it Is be coming clear that our streams should bo considered and conserved as great natural resources "It is common knowledge that the ! i.-iilroads of the United States are no longer able to move crops and manu factures rapidly enough to secure the prompt transaction of the business of Ihe nation, and there is uinall pros pect of immediate relief. Represen tative railroad men point out that zhe products of the northern interior states have dout led in ter. years, while the railroads’ facilities have In creased but one-eighth, and there is reason to doubt whether any develop ment of the railroads possible in the near future >vill suffice to keep trans potation abreast of production. There appears to bo but one complete rem edy—the development of a comple mentary system of transportation by water. "Any plan for utilizing our inland waterways, to be feasible, should rec ognize the means for executing it al ready in existenco both In the federal departments of var, interior agricul ture anti commerce and labor, and In the states and In their t-übdlvisions; and It must not involve unduly bur densome expenditures from the na tional treasury. The cost will neces sarily be large in proportion to the magnitude of the benefits to be con ferred. but it will be small in com parison with ihe |17,000,000,000 of capital now invested In steam railway* in the United States Personnel of Commission.

FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer ing From Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, 0., says: “I have worked hard in my time and have been J exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went ’W’yf all to pieces at last. W* For five years I was fading away, and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur be fore me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, au<\ by the time I bad taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever alnce."

The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as evidenced by Miss Rose Moore’s case, of 307 W. 26th St., N. Y. She writes:- Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-*‘Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my familyl doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objectin g to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia | E.

What to do After Eating. Should one lie down after meals and, if so, should one sleep? Dr. Shule, an assistant of Baumer at Frei berg, has analyzed the contents of the stomachs of two normal subjects re . moved several hours after an identical test meal of bread and distilled water, followed in one instance by sleep, in the other by simple rest in a hori zontal position. Schule shows that sleep during digestion always results in weakening the motility of the stom ach and increasing the acidity of the gastric juice, a fact attributed by him to the irritation caused by the chyme’s remaining abnormally long in tho stomach. He has also remarked that simple repose in a horizontal position, not accompanied by sleep, stimulates the gastric function without increas ing the acidity.
