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

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.

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

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

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*

CURES ALL SKIN TROUBLES.
Sulphur the Accepted Remedy for a
Hundred Years.
Sulphur is one of the greatest remedies
! nature ever gave to man. Every physician
; knows it cures skin and blood troubles.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur enables you to
| get the full benefit in most convenient
i form. Don’t take sulphur “tablets” or
! "wafers," or powdered sulphur in molasses.
Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur is pleasant to
take and perfect in its action. Druggists
sell it.
A well known citizen of Danville, Pa.,
writes: “I have had an aggravated case of
Eczema for over twenty-five years. I have
used seven 50-csnt bottles of the Liquid,
and one jar of your Hancock’s Liquid Sul
phur Ointment, and now I feel as though
1 had a brand new pair of hands. It has
cured me and I am certain it will cure any
one if they persist in using Hancock’s
Liquid Sulphur according to directions.

COMMON SENSE
Leads most intelligent people to use only
medndines of known composition. There
fore It is thai Dr. Pierce’s medicines, the
which print every ingredient
enteringmlo them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily grbling in favor. The com
position of, DriPierce’s medicines is open
to everybodyVDr. Pierce being desirous
of having the searchlight of
tion turned fully upon his formulae, being
contident that the better the composition
ot these medicines is known the more
will their great euTa.uveinerits be~recog-
Being wholly made of The active
medicinal principles extracted from na
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with Dr. Pierce, and without the
use of a drop of alcohol, triple-refined and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit - forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers—the same as sworn to by
Dr. Pierce, and you will find that his
"Golden Medical Discovery,” the great,
blood-purifier, stomach tonic and bowel
regulator—the medicine which, while nc*
recommended to cure consumption in it3
advanced stages (no medicine will do that)
yet does cure all those catarrhal condi
tions of head and throat, weak stomach,
torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak
lungs and hang-on-coughs, which, if neg
lected or badly treated lead up to and
finally terminate in consumption.
Take the "Golden Medical Discovery”
in time and it is not likely to disappoint
Jou if only you give it a thorough and
air trial. Don’t expect miracles. It
won’t do supernatural things. You must
exercise your patience and persevere in its
use for a reasonable length of tim6 to get
its full benefits. The ingredients of which
Dr. Pierce’s medicines are composed have
the unqualified endorsement of scores of
medical leaders—better than any amount
of lay, or non-professional, testimonials.
They are not given away to be experi
mented with but are sold by all dealers in
medicines at reasonable prices.

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."

great many women have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetab e Pv : J VaL)
Compound after an operation has
been decided upon as the only cure. MISS ROSE MOORfc.
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. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble I
and I am now in better health than I have been for many years.”
This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly- ■
dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation. 1
Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women |
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to H
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the 1
symptoms given, the trouble may be located and the quickest and surest |
way of recovery advised. Jl

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.
