John F. Miller Once in a great while in a community, a man who, in ability and spirit, stands distinctively above its number of able men, dies. Those who knew him are released for a time from the ordinary, humdrum trains of daily thought and are raised to the higher plane of thinking necessary to know the meaning and the message to others of such a man's successful life. Memories of one's own and of what others have related about incidents in the life of an extraordinarily able man like that, crowd into one's consciousness, and the finer the spirit of such a man, the quicker one's sorrowful meditation is rewarded and the answers to the eternal questions are forthcoming. A very fine spirit passed on .and a successful life closed on Sunday morning when Mr. John F. Miller died. His years almost spanned the life of the great business in which he rose to eminence and to the up-building of which he devoted practically all the working years of his long life, rail

roading. Self-control, knowledge and service coupled with a fine sense of consideration for all with whom he came in contact constituted the keynote of Mr. Miller's life. Splendidly poised and self-contained, he was naturally called to direct and train the working energies of many other men. A hard worker personally and possessed of an observing and analytical mind as well as a wonderfully retentive memory, the knowledge he accumulated of railroading made him a valued officer of the great Pennsylvania system. A keen sense of duty and desire to serve made his work because of its dependability and efficiency count heavily. His consideration for others was always uppermost in the minds of his friends. As a host he was charming and very entertaining. As a friend he was loyal and always interested. As a man of family he was a devoted husband and father. As an executive and employer of men he was just and anxious to provide every-opportunity for them to help themselves to better stations in life. Trained in his methods and inspired by his example many men have reached high places as presidents and executive officers of large railway systems and other industrial enterprises. It is as the son of one of his "boys" whom he helped and inspired to success and who has preceded him on the last journey, as well as one who was privileged personally to enjoy the friendship of Mr. Miller, that I pay this tribute to his memory and attainments. May the splendid record of his life devoted to helpful and constructive ideals assuage the grief of his family. May his sorrowing friends ever keep green his memory in the way I am sure he would like best of all, by serving and helping others help themselves. RUDOLPH G. LEEDS.

and forty-nine men prominent in business and professional life have volunteered to speak in the campaign for teaching the city preparedness.

Doing Without Orders Initiative is the impelling force that drives a man to do a thing without waiting to be told to do it. The man who sees the work that is to be done,

and does it without an executive's order is the man who lands the prize and wins the promotion. Some men cannot do a thing until they. are told to do it two or three times, and then they

only half do the job. They belong to the medio

cre class.

Others cannot do a thing until sheer necessity forces them to do it, and they grumble and cavil at cruel fate. Their's is the old worn-out

hard luck story. They never get farther than

doing menial work.

Quite a proportion cannot do a thing unless the boss stands over them constantly and urges them on with the spur of profanity and threats. They are loafers and only find work part of the

year.

Preparedness Taking Hold Philadelphia has a large Quaker unit in its citizenship, yet this has not prevented the spread of the preparedness doctrine. The National Security League has begun an active educational campaign, and a number of organizations have volunteered for service. - The Master Builders' Exchange has decided to organize a cavalry troop and offer the government the use of 2,000 horses and 250 motortrucks owned by the members in case of war. Jewish residents are forming a reserve regiment of infantry. One hundred

Standardizing Lumber

Thousands of feet of good lumber are wasted

annually in the construction of residences and business houses in the United States. Contractors buy lumber of certain sizes,, but in the building operations, many feet are wasted and usually are unsuited for various reasons, to be used in other construction work. The . National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' association, at its convention in Philadelphia, has made a plea to manufacturers to standardize their products in order that economy might be practiced by the contractors and wholesalers in the use of lumber. The association will inaugurate a campaign to teach the public that when they want lumber they can get a staple commodity that will measure up to their needs and demands. A number of young contractors in the northern part of the United States made a study of the waste cuts in building operations, and by drawing adroit plans were able to use up these cuts in the construction of homes. They are able to build houses at a cheap price, without detracting from the value of the building.

Soldiers Crave Tobacco Belgian soldiers, cut off largely from the use of tobacco, crave this stimulant. Harry E. Bateman, who is with an American ambulance corps, writes : ; "The first thing an ambulance driver did after loading up with the wounded was i:o give the poor fellows -cigarettes to soothe them and make them forget their pain while they were being driven to the hospital. "Tobacco is necessary in the campaign. Soldiers would part with anything in exchange for it. The Red Cross workers could not carry the wounded and look after their wants without it, for it is a good disinfectant."

Trade Shows Big Increase January foreign trade figures assembled today by the Department of Commerce put the month's exports at $331,000,000, exceeding by $62,000,000 the total for the same month a year ago. Imports reached $184,000,000 compared with $122,000,000 a year ago. The seven months ended with January saw exports valued at more than $2,000,000,000 leave the country, while imports for the same period totalled considerably more than $1,000,000,000. January's exports were chiefly manufactured products. Foodstuffs were second on the list. Raw materials formed the chief items of import. Great Britain in January took $121,000,000 worth of American goods, France $44,000,000 and Italy $16,000,000. All of South America took $13,000,000; Asia, $19,000,000. Imports from the United Kingdom were worth $24,000,000. South America shipped goods to the United States worth $40,000,000, Asia $32,000,000 and the whole of Europe' $47,000,000.

MEXICAN UPRISING FEARED ON BORDER

WASHINGTON, March 20. Administration officials are gravely apprehensive of trouble along the Mexican border tomorrow. Advices reaching here today indicate that the malcontents who have been endeavoring to cause friction between the United States and the Carranza commanders have redoubled their efforts along this line. Charles A. Douglas, Carranza's attorney, called at the state department and told Acting Secretary Polk that this agitation was not confined to Mexicans. He intimated that certain Americans, especially In El Paso, had been openly declaring that the prom

ises that intervention is not Intended, are not to. be kept. Upon his suggestion it Is expected that all agitators will be rounded up by the department of justice and arrested.

Argentina has ten meat freezing plants in active operatin and three more are contemplated.

Money spent for the old style, ready made medicine usually sold in bottles holding only 2 to 24 ounces (16 to 20 teaspoonfuls) is largely wasted, because most of them are composed principally of sugar and water. Yet you have to pay the same price as if it were all medicine. Stop wasting this money. You can make a better remedy for bronchial affections, at home at one-fifth the cost. Merely go to Thistlethwaite's drug stores and ask ofr two ounces (50c worth) of Schiffmann's New Concentrated Expectorant, which they guarantee will give perfect satisfaction or money refunded. Mix this with one pint of granulated sugar and one-half pint of boiling water, which makes a full pint (128 teaspoonfuls). This new, sbuple, pleasant remedy Is guaranteed to re

lieve the worst cough or cold, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, croup, horseness and whooping cough. One bottle will make- enough home-made medicine to probably last the whole winter. Children like it, it is so pleasant to take. It is unlike any other medicine, and positively contains no chloroform, opium, morphine or other narcotics, as do most cough mixtures. Keep It on hand In case of emergency and stop each cough before it gets a firm hold. " The above druggists, in fact any druggist In this city, will return the money (just the same as is done with Schiffmann's famous Asthmador) In every single case where it does not give perfect satisfaction or is not found the best remedy ever used Absolutely no risk is run In buying this remedy under thJs positive guarantee.

PETRIFIED HUN SKULL SHOOT AT HAGERSTOOT

HAGERSTOWN. Ind., March 20. Doc Wedekind has in his possession a stone, which probably is a petrified human head. It was found by William Hastings last fall in a field on the Dave Hardman farm, west of town. It is not an. unusual appearing stone, except for its size and shape, and has deep eye sockets, and probably was walked over many times unobserved. Mr. Wedekind has a collection of curios. Among them are a zebra hide, a black bear skin, snake skins and pelts of different kinds. He has bones lrom a mastodon, which he bought of a man who excavated It from the earth near Fort Wayne many years ago. It was a

very large animal. ,Jumbo was small compared with this animal. It had tusks twelve feet in length. Its lower Jaw was seven feet in length.

Mr. Wedekind has a piece of the skull, which is one and one-half inches

in thickness, and he has four large teeth, which are solid black Ivory and weigh eight and one-half pounds each.

He also has a spinning wheel and reel which are one hundred years old.

Backache Is Discouraging:. But Not So Bad If You Know How To Reach the Caue.

Nothing more discouraging than a constant backache. Lame when you awaken, pains pierce you when you bend or- lift. It's hard to work or to rest. Backache often indicates bad kidneys. Richmond people recommend Doan's Kidney Pils. Read this case: W. S. Henderson, 100 N. 19th St., Richmond, says: "About three years ago I was in pretty bad shape from my back and kidneys. Several times I got down and I could not do anything on account of tin sharp pains in the small of my back. The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage, causing me to get up as many as ten or twelve times at night. They were also highly colored. Doctors said I had lumbago. After I had used many medicines without being helped, I got Doan's Kidney Pills. I used three

boxes and they cured me." Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that cured Mr. Henderson. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.
