Let them know if you are interested. In the February American Magazine Ida M. Tarbell goes on with her new series of business articles entitled “The Golden Rule in Business.” Her article this month has to do with the subject of wages, and what she has to report is exceedingly interesting to the general public as well as to employers and employes. In the course of her article, she tells many stories of interesting businesses and she also has a good deal to say about scientific management which, by the way, she regards highly. In the March Woman’s Home Companion appears a department called The Exchange, in which readers present ideas that they have developed out of practical experience. The head of a glove department in an Oil io store tells as follows how to mend kid gloves. “To mend kid gloves very satisfactorily tr/ this method: With small, sharp scissors remove all ragged edges. Buttonhole firmly both edges to. be mended with cotton thread (never use silk as it cuts), using a very fine needle. Then bring both edges together and buttonhole. A glove mended in this way cannot pull out or rip and will stand the hardest kind of wear thereafter.” The jib of the floating crane “Ajax,” which is one of the two powerful floating cranes built for handling the biggest and heaviest pieces required in repairing the Panama canal locks, collapsed while lilting a test doad a r Cristobal, December 7, 1914. The crane was rated for loads varying, according to the reach of the jib, from 100 gross tons to 250 gross tons, but before being accepted by the government it was required to lift loads 20 per cent in excess of the rated load for each reach. According to reports the collapse occurred when the jib was working over the side of the pontoon at a reach of 81.6 feet. The rated load for this reach is 100 gross tons, and this with the 20 per cent overload required in the test made an actual load of 120 gross tons. Tills load, consisting of a solid block of concrete weighted with steel rails had been lifted about 4 feet above the ground when the steel framing of the jib collapsed and fell, the nose of th'; jib burying itself several feet in the ground. The loss due to the collapse is estimated at from SIOO,OOO to $150.000. Several views of the wrecked crane appear hi the February Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Mrs. Joshua Parrish and Mrs. Joseph Hower visited in Fort Wayne Sunday with their sister, Mrs. Margaret Louthan, who is recovering nicely from *n operation for gall stones. Households get out of tune, like the pianos in them. It was the notion of the old piano tuner .and it made the theme for a good story, called “The Tuning Fork," in The Youth’s Companion of February 18th, by T. D. P. Cummins. Mrs. B. J. Terveer and daughters, Miss Mayne and Mrs. Will Dowling, went to Fort Wayne today to call on their daughter and sister, Mrs. Chas. Voglewede, at the St. Joseph hospital. She is recovering nicely from her operation. Mr. Voglewede and sons, Robert and Arthur, and also Ijpr brother, Bernard Terveer, called on her yesterday. — t> — SERVICES AT U. B. CHURCH. Sunday was a gala day in all the services at the United Brethren church. The Sunday school had 270 in attendance; eighty-one men in the two men’s classes. Before the school had come to a close 300 bad gathered, and the outlook is that arrangements will have to be made for extra room in which to house the growing school, as exery available space is now occupied. The house was well filled at the morning service. The sermon was illustrated by a cartoon of a sheep fold, containing the ninety and nine, nnd the lost sheep astray in the mountains, and the Good Shepherd going after the lost sheep. Twentysix united with the church. These were baptised. One was baptized the Sunday before. One week ago yesterday thirty united with the church, and a number during the week. At the Christian Endeavor service the house was crowded to overflowing before the preaching services began and many were compelled to leave for want of room. It was expected to close the series of meetings, but eight came forward for salvation, and It was considered a serious matter to close the door of salvation in their faces, so it was decided to continue services this evening. There is r.p doubt but that the meetings will have to close with penitents at the altar, because of the coming tabernacle Up to date there have been 172 penitents at the altar; a few, however, that did.not experience satisfaction; but nearly all experienced a bright, definite change of heart. Conviction seems to hang upon the congregation as intensely as at any time during the meetings. Were it not that the great evangelistic campaign was so near at hand the w’ork could be carried on with many still, who would start in the higher life. The work is really far from being finished, but will necessarily have'to be closed down because of the tabernacle meetings to begin next Sabbath. Next Thursday night at 7 o'clock, there will be a meeting in the church to organize an Otterbein Brotherhood. Men generally, whether Christians or not, are cordially invited to be in tin's meeting and become charter members of the Decatur “Otterbein Brotherhood.” —Contributed. ‘ o CONGESTED KIDNEYS RELIEVED IN DECATUR Tells in Open Letter, How This Result Was Accomplished. Mrs. Martha Spuller of 714 North Fifth street, Decatur, Ind., says: “Some time ago I was bothered with a severe case of kidney trouble. My kidneys were in a congested condition and this brought on very distressing pains across the small of my back. At times I could not stoop over without great pain. For this trouble 1 began taking Lloyd’s Kidney and. Rheumatic Tablets, the new, scientific preparation, and from the first I felt a great change for the better.
