Two Kinds of Big Business—One Is Hon
est; the Other Needs Regulation
Bu E C. SIMMONS.. St. Louis Merchant
THkKF, are two kinds of big business. One has grown naturally,
fought its way up by honorable methods, has developed by reason
of square dealing with its customers, by reason of economics and
h&rd work, intelligence, clean thinking and planning. That kind of big
business is not to be feared.
THE OTHER KIND OF BIG BUSINESS I WOULD CALL BAD, AND IT
IS THE ONE THAT NEEDS REGULATION TODAY. THIS IS THE RE
SULT OF AN UNNATURAL THROWING TOGETHER OF A LOT OF HET
EROGENEOUS ELEMENTS, ANTIQUATED PLANTS CAPITALIZED AT
HIGH FIGURES, THE PRINCIPAL INGREDIENT OF WHICH IS WATER.
OR UNNATURAL ASSOCIATIONS. BOTH OF MEN AND METHODS, OF
MANUFACTURING SITES AND THE EVIDENT DISPOSITION ON THE
PART OF THE PROMOTERS OR MANAGERS TO GAIN THEIR ENDS BY
MONOPOLY AND COMPETITIONS OF A BRUTAL KIND RATHER THAN
ON MERIT.
Federal regulation, in my opinion, is sure to come. At any rate, I
am sure we are going to give it a trial. It is only a question of time
when it will come.

Women, So Apt at Unearthing Scandal,
Would Detect Crime on Larger Scale
Bu KATHERINE BEMENT DAVIS. Commissioner of Correction.
New York Citg
1HAVE already said women have proved their ability in the detective
department. It has been said that the sex that is so apt at smelling
out a neighborhood scandal will smell out a crime on a larger scale.
Probably that faculty is an aid. I should like to see the sex well repre
sented in the detective department here and in other cities.
9. « *
OPPONENTS OF WOMEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE SAY THAT WOMAN'S
NATURE. BEING 80 MUCH BETTER THAN MAN'S. IS NOT CALCULAT
ED TO FOLLOW THE DARK AND DEVIOUS WAYS OF CRIME. THAT
SOUNDS VERY WELL AND MAY HAVE BEEN INTENDED AS A COM
PLIMENT TO OUR BETTER QUALITIES. BUT IT WILL NOT DETER WO
MEN FROM ENTERING POLICE SERVICE. UNFORTUNATELY WOM
EN'S NAMES APPEAR IN CRIME ANNALS. AND, TO PARAPHRASE THE
ADAGE "SET A THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF," YOU WILL DO WELL TO
-SET A WOMAN TO CATCH A WOMAN." IN OTHER WORDS, A WOMAN
KNOWS MORE OF FEMININE PSYCHOLOGY THAN A MAN CAN HOPE
to Learn.

Hotter Than Our Sun.
Scientific research shows that the
sun has a temperature of 4,950 de
grees; Aldebaran. that beautiful star
in Taurus, 5.150 degrees; the polar
star, 5.ii00 degrees, and the d»g star
Sirlus, 7.500 degrees. This goes to
show that the sun is undoubtedly one
of the coldest of the stars. It also Is
evidence that the absurdly low tem
peratures of the earth which living
things here consider hot are, as com
pared with the heavenly bodies, re
gions of frigidity. Even the electric
furnace, with Us 3.500 degrees of heat.
Is as Ice compared with temperatures
in the dog star and the others.—New
York American.
Stale Bread.
To freshen stale bread just twist the
bread or rolls up tightly in a paper bag
and lay the bag lu the oven, and you
will not know them from the fresh
article. The oven should be a moder
ate one.
An Egotist.
Ilokus — Flubdub seems to have a
wonderful opinion of bis knowledge.
Pokus—I should say he has. Why, I
have actually heard him attempt to
argue with his sou. who is in his fresh
man year at college.—I.lpplncott*s.
A BIT OT ADVICE
First—Don't Delay, second—Don't
Experiment
If you suffer from baakache;
headaches or dizzy spells; you
rest poorly and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in ap
pearance, do not delay In such
cases the kidneys often neai help.
Doans Kidney Pills ara espec
ially prepared for kidney troublo—
they aTe recommendd by thousands.
Can kidney sufferers desire more
convincing proof than the state
ment following;
James M. Cahill, stationary engin
eer, 247 Harrison St, Portland,
Oregon, says: "Nothing has oc
curred to alter my high opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and I eon
firm my former endorsement of
them given some years ago. Since
then, I have been helped by Doan's
Kidney puis and I believe that thoy
have no equal for kidney and blad
der trouble.'"
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask far a kidney remedy—
pet Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Cahill had. Foster-Milburn
