"America For Americans
LOOK SUCCESSFUL
To be successful you must loot suc
cessful. I? you will carry yourself
with a self confident air It Inspires
others with the belief In your ability
and your success. You get to believe
in it yourself. You begin to walk as if
you were master of yourself. You will
believe in your ability to do things, and
you are confident of results.
It does not take a kevn observer to
pick out a successful dealer. If he Is
prosperous every step, every move
ment. every look, indicates It. There
is a great deal in assuming the part of
the character you desire to play in this
drama of life.
There is nothing negative about the
positive man. He is a success, and,
like Hercules, he has conquered the
moment he looks upon you. This Is
personal magnetism. Cultivate It, then
you will not need bolstering up. Learn
to stand alone. Your very silence
should carry power. Learn the value
of reserve force.
Self confidence is the power to mar
shal all the faculties and unite their
strength In one mighty cable. It mat
ters not what yonr talents may be.
what your abilities or ambition may
be. If you are lacking In self confidence
yon can never use them to the best ad
vantage. Self trust is as necessary as
ability.
Concentrate your facilities and your
good qualities. Carry yourself with a
self confident air and you will win still
more confidente. Failure or success
has Its true worth In these two little
words, "I can't," or "I will." Look
successful:—Author Cnknown.
Two popular mottoes of the hour will
be especially appropriate this Fourth
of July, "America first" anil "Safety
first" The one will put punch In the
orations anil the other take It out of
the firecracker and toy gun.
That all thinss have an end Is prov
ed by the fact that the improvement
of the Erie canal which we read about
In childhood has been accomplished.
Poets will continue to write about
spring and t>e likely to slow down on
the qualifying adjectives until spring
weather learns to behave.
Ni'thin? whatever military about the
American straw hat, so one may shoot
It without a show of treason.
We may "view with alarm" the drop

POINTS ON SOLDIER
LIFE ARE EASILY HAD
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
Every boy scout or national guard
gathering or military school or mili
tary class of any public school fur
nishes countless points to teach a be
ginner how to prepare to be a soldier.
A novice can witness marches and
drills somewhere within reach and go
to the attic or barn or pasture to re
hearse what he saw others do.
Progress in the home guard training
is slow because the members drill oaly
at odd hours. However, they begin at

the foundations, and their awkward
squad furnishes good patterns for the
novice who doesn't know even right
from left In a line of men.
A begiuuer must take his new trade
seriously. Glory may lie in paths
ahead, but the first steps are tedious.
Fortunately they are of the kind where
one dovetails Into the next higher, so
to speak, and once learned they aro
not forgotten. All training is bow
done on United States army models.
The national guard drills and the
work at the national training camps
proceed from the start according to
manuals used in the regular army.
Manuals for the preliminary stages of
soldier life are prepared in the sim
plest form, and these are textbooks
In all drill halls and camps. Thus uni
formity is secured for the whole coun
try, and the recruit trained in one
state will feel at ease in ranks trained
In another state even a thousand miles
away.
ROSEBUSHES.

Prepared by the U. 8. department
of agriculture.
THE character of the foliage
and hardiness should be im
portant considerations la choos
ing types of climbing roses for
covering arbors, trellises, pergo
las, pillars and similar struc
tures. Roses used In this way
are usually in conspicuous
places, and flowers can be de
pended on for ornamental ef
fects for a relatively short pe
riod only during the year. Climb
ing roses with a poor leaf de
velopment or those especially lia
ble to attack by insects and dis
eases therefore make but a poor
appearance.
The climbing roses are divided
roughly into two divisions by
farmers' bulletin 750. roses for
the home, recently issued by the
United States department of ag
riculture. The pillar roses are
those not growing more than six
or eight feet high. The more
vigorously growing roses of the
group are the climbers or ram
blers.
Of the trellis and arbor roses
the members of the wichuraiana
or memorial group are among
those most resistant to disease
and Insect attack. They have
foliage pleasing to the eye
throughout practically all sea
sons. The blossoms are white
and single. The multlflora
climbers flower in clusters.
Many of them, however, espe
cially the so called ramblers, are
subject to mildew and Insect at
tacks. They are reasonably
hardy in the north. Roses of the
laevigata group, represented by
the Cherokee, on the other hand,
require a warm climate. This is
true also of the roses of the
climbing Noisette group, repre
sented by the Marechal Nlel and
Lamarque. These roses are
suitable for culture only In the
warmer sections, where the win
ter temperature seldom falls be
low 10 degrees F. above zero.

The natives of China use large bells
of their own make In many of their
temples and monasteries. I have no
ticed all through Japan and China that
the tone of the monastery and temple
bells Is very soft and smooth, due to
the superior quality of the material
used In their manufacture and to the
absence of iron clappers, the result be
ing a marvelous softness and mellow
ness of, tone. The bells are never
swung, being always suspended in a
flied frame, and the sound is produced
by striking them on the outer edge
with a wooden mallet This makes the
soft tones which are so delightfully
melodious.—Consular Reports.
Yotl 6f the Garbage Carti
We hear a great deal of complain
ing, far and near, about the high cost
of living.
It has been statistically estimated
tbat if only one slice of bread was
wasted by one family every day the
aggregate weight of this wasted bread
would equal 025,000 pounds and would
cost approximately $45,COO.
Just thin!: of that! Forty-Ave thou
sand dollars' worth of bread alone wast
ed in cae day. And that does not In
clude the other odds and ends that are
dally dumped Into the garbage pail.
No woman' \Vith an lota of Intelli
gence and a speck of niorul conscience
will waste uuncccssarlly food of any
kind.
No matter what her circumstunces
may be, whether rich or poor, she has
absolutely no right to do so.—New
York Telegram.
Mighty Sirius.
That person who knows nothing else
of the starry universe knows that of
the "tlxed" stars Sirius, of Canls Ma
jor, la to us by fur the most brilliant.
We owe the dazzle of Sirius to the
fact that it is one of our liearest solar
neighbors, its distance being only about
50,000.000,000,(XX) miles. Yet if seen
from the same distance as our sun it
would be thirty times as bright. It is
held by some astronomers that it in
fluences to some extent our solar sys
tem and that we and some of the stars
nearest to us are a group of which
Sirius may be the chief.—Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
Emptying a Bottle.
Water or any other liquid cannot
flow from a bottle in a steady stream
because until the bottle is empty there
is a continuous struggle between the
tendency of the liquid to fall from the
bottle and the rushing of the air to get
in. When a full bottle without a cork
is turned upside down there will be an
alternate realization of two operations,
the liquid to follow the attraction of
gravitation and the air to obey its nat
ural impulse to fill a void.—Exchange.
Incomplete.
The description of a suit case as
something tliat In a railroad car cannot

on the feet of the passenger nest you.

Awful Rebuko.
They had just finished their flr6t

A STITCH IN TIME
Alaska People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney trouble is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary Irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approach

ease Kidney disease seldom is fa
tal it treated in time, but neglect
may ptve the way. Don* neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular
or discolored urine, headaches,
weariness or depression. If you fe
yon ueed kidney help begin using
tt» reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan i Kidney Pills. For 50 years,
Down's have been found! effective
Fadorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. 3. O. Turner, 608% Tenth
S'., Sacramento, California., says:
"I underwent three operations and
this severe strain, together with
colds, affected my kidneys. I had
oaio through my back and could
hardly stoop over for If I tried to,
pains caught me. My back and limbs
were so stiff 1 couldn's move My
