Within a Century Resources of i
World Will Be Taxed j
to Full Capacity x
^ By H. N. DICKSON, of the British Association For the Advancement ^ j
f of Science 4
The geographer of the future will have as his field !
THE VITAL QUESTIONS OF SUPPLYING AND DISTRIBUTING
FOOD AND CLOTHES TO THE WORLD.
Foremost of these vital questions will be that of GROWING WHEAT
ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD'S BREAD. A host of problems of the j
future are marshaled behind this, among them being the questions of ob
taining power and energy sufficient to operate the needed increase in fac
tories, the fuel question and distribution of population. Within a cen
turv the resources of the world will be TAXED TO THEIR FULL j
CAPACITY.
CIVILIZED MAN IS, OR OUGHT TO BE, BEGINNING TO REALIZE !
THAT IN REDUCING MOREAND MORE OF THE SURFACE OF THE
EARTH TO WHAT HE CONSIDERS A HABITABLE CONDITION HE IS
MAKING SO MUCH PROGRESS AND MAKING IT SO RAPIDLY THAT i
THE PROBLEM OF FINDING SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR HIS i
INCREASING NUMBERS MUST BECOME URGENT WITHIN A FEW .
GENERATIONS.
We are getting into the position of the merchant u-hose trade is con- i
stantlv expanding and who foresees that bis premises will shortly be I
TOO SMALL FOR HDL In our case removal to more commodious
premises elsewhere seems impossible, for we are not likely to find a means
of migrating to another planet and are thus driven to consider means of
REBUILDING ON TOE OLD SITE.
If prophecies based on population statistics are trustworthy the i
CRISIS WILL BE UPON US BEFORE THE END OF TUB CEX
TURY. After that we must either depend upon some substitute to re- j
duce the consumption per head, or we must take to intensive farming of
the most strenuous sort.
German Cities Are Best Ruled
By T. C. THOMPSON, Mayor of Chattanooga, Tenn.
THE GERMANS ARE AHEAD OF THE UNITED STATES IN MUNICI
PAL GOVERNMENT, BUT I THINK WE ARE AHEAD OF FRANCE
AND ENGLAND. EXCEPT AS TO GOOD ROADS, WHERE THOSE
COUNTRIES EASILY LEAD THE WAY,
The German iden is to get the BEST MAN FOR THE JOB IR
RESPECTIVE OE PARTY and then to keep him at it. The municipal
authorities in Berlin have just ordered seven thousand metal boxes to be
put in the ground for the reception of street refuse, which can be raised
and put into the carts by small cranes worked by the driver. London
has improved much in the conditions of its streets.
We shall never be able to develop our cities like tlrev do in Germany
while the municipal government is HAMPERED IN ITS ACTIONS

Mrs. O. L. Rynning, 5445 South
M. St., Tacoma, Wasn., says: "Off
and on for eighteen years I suffer
ed trom kidney complaint and In
flammation of the bladder. The
trouble was so bad at times that
I couldn't keep on my feet. There
was torturing pains ii> my back
and I was so lame that I could hard
ly stoop or straighten. When I sat
down, I couldn't get up without a
great effort. I was all rue down. I
didn't rest well and a too frequent
action of my kidneys bothered me
I tried many doctors, but their med
icine dldn'- do me any good. At
last I ?ot to wslng Doa»' Kidney
Pills :ii:d I found them to be the
remedy I needed. They helped me
from the first. My kidneys were
strengthened an'J the torturing pain
and 'am<-aess out away. I have
since Me*n ai;'e to Bleep 'Veil and
get around to do my work without
suffering.
