'three choices for
SERVICE ON UNO
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
If a budding war hero chooses the
naval service the first thing Is to annex
his activities to some floating thing,
whether on creek, pond, canal or ocean
—that is, after learning to swim. If
no craft la handy the next best thing
Is to make and handle a raft.
But. supposing the choice to be serv
ice on land, there are the cavalry, in
fantry and artillery to choose from,
perhaps. Much depends ou a candi
date's sise, weight, intelligence and
training In civil life.
A cavalryman should know some
thing—much. in fact—about horses, and
Photo by American Pr«M Association.
PRESENT ASMS.
s certain number of horsemen are need
ed in artillery. In Infantry hardy phy
sique is of tlrst importance, and good
preparedness for this arm Is long, long
walks, carrying a load of forty to sixty
pounds.
In all arms of service the soldier
may be required to work on sparse al
lowances of rations, coarse at that, so
preparedness should include discipline
of the stomach to digest the "iron"
ration served on a campaign. This
suggests that there are army occupa
tions quite as important, though less
picturesque, than that of fighter. Cooks
are always in demand.
The war department classification of
trades and business lines which fit men
for service includes, besides the above
named, feed and grain business, wag
on. machine, harness and auto repair
shops and factories, grocery, depart
ment. clothing and shoe and hat stores,
packing houses, restaurant and hotel
business, building trades and engineer
ing. A man trained In any of these
branches can serve his country well
JOO'9 Star, Arciurus.
Arcturus, star of ancient poets,
priests, astrologers and mystics,
"Job's star," as it has been called, as it
Is mentioned in the wonderful book of
that first dramatist, is 0,000 times more
brilliant in its marvelous luminosity
than our own little central luminary,
which has a pitiable diameter of less
than a million miles. By means of the
spectroscope Arcturus is seen travel
ing across our line of vision at the in
conceivable speed of probably 300-mlles
per second: Yet even at this amazing
morion it would require 3,000 years for
Arcturus to traverse the distance to us
from the star nearest to our sun, that
nearby star being the chief In the con
stellation of the Centaur and Just a
little matter of 2.",000.000,000,000 miles
distant from our sun! — Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
The Discovery of Iron.
The Bible sjieaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians Imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor, while
Pliny mentions It having been discov
ered by I>actyles on Mount Ida after
the forests on the mountain side had
been destroyed by lightning, this about
1432 B. C. Jeremiah and Ezekiel both
mention iron In their Scriptural writ
ings, the latter especially mentioning
two qualities of the metal, calling one
"bright iron," which was probably
steel. Mose'j mentions an Iron furnace,
and Job speaks of Iron as belug taken
out of the earth.
Genuine Felt.
Genuine felt Is an "all wool" prod
uct. Alone among wool workers the
felt manufacturer can take a whole
fleece from the sheep's back and bring
It out In the form of cloth. All the
parts of the fleece rejected In other
branches of the wool Industry can be
utilized by the felt maker.
Ambiguous.
"Did your late employer give yon a
testimonial ?"
"Yes, but It doesn't seem to do me
any good."
"What did he say?"
"He said X was one of the best men
his firm had ever turned out"—Phila
delphia Inquirer.

Unfortunate.
"No, that salesman could not interest
me in his car after the unfortunate re
mark that he dropped.
"What was that?"
"He said that his car was a winner,
and then he added that It would win
in a walk."—Chicago Herald.

A STITCH IN TIME
Alaska People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney trouble is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slights* back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approach
ing dropsy, gravel or Bright'g dis
ease Kidney disease seldom is fa
tal if treated in time, but neglect
may p*re the way. Dont neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular
or discolored urine, headaches,
weariDess or depression. If you fe
yon Deed kidney help begin using
tl» Tellable, time-tried remedy,
Doan i Kidney PUlo. For 50 years,
Doan's have been found effective
Fndorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. S. O. Turner, 608% Tenth
Sf., Sacramento, California., says:
"I underwent three operations aaid
this severe strain, together with
colds, affected my kidneys. I had
oain through, my baclc and oould
hardly stoop over for if I tried to,
pains caught me. My back1 and limbs
were so stiff I couldn's move My j
kidneys acted too often. Doan's
Kidney Pills have promptly reliev
ed me of every attack of kidney suf
fering."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan'p Kidney Rills—the same
tnat Mrs. Turner had. Foster
