Herald in exohange dated January 18
1908. Newcastlo Times.
Th Times man had better take
another drink and look at his cali n
dar and he will find that The Herald's
issue dav did not come on January 18
1908. We probably ought to feel com
nlimented for the apace devoted to us
hv the Times, as it only contained
about three sticks full of news matter
and six lines of that was taken tip in
trying to "say something." Or it
mient be that this was the first time
the Times editor had been to the oflice
since January 1, 1008. and of course
nn wrvnM crab The Herald the first
thing.

pany had been unable to reach an
agreement with the Sioux City Trao

A class composed of the following
received their first Holy communion
Hemlock, Chestnut and Oak Furnish
the Tan Hark.
No other nation produces half ns
much tunned, curried and finished
leather as tho Uuntcd States, which
yields over one-fourth of the world's
supply. Six hundred and seventeen
tanneries contribute to this output
The raw material Includes 10S,X,XK)
hides and skins, including a largo
number from Argeutiua. To tan this
immense quantity of leather, valued
at $-oO,WO,(X0 lust year, required
over 1,250,000 cords of tan bark, worth
nearly ?13,0tx),000, and more than
o.jO,i.iiiO barrels of tauning extract,
worth fS,7OO,OO0.'
Over two-thirds of the tan bark con
sumed comes from hemlock, aud over
one-fourth from oak ; chestnut and
other woods contribute the remainder.
More extract is secured from chestnut,
however, than from all other domestic
woods combined. A small quantity
of extract of a little over 1,000 barrels
conies from the roots of the palmetto.
Although tho tanning Industry ia
widely distributed over the United
States,' the greater part of It Is carried
on iu the states of Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan and Wisconsin, which
use uure than two-thirds of the tan
ning materials consumed. Pennsyl
vania, alunee consumes over 900,000,
Otto pounds of bark aud extract worth
$s.(mjo,ooo. or 37 per cent of the total
value.
Since 10OO the quantity of the bark
used has falleu off 13 per cent, al
though its value has Increased. During
this period tho consumption of extract
Increased from G7,0iO to 000.000 bar
rels a pear, from which ueariy 00,000
barrels wereimported. Relatively small
quantities of hemlock bark were Im
ported from Canada, and of mangrove
bark from the West Indies and Africa.
In weight, four times as much quebra
cho was Imported In bark as in ex
tract form, but the value of the two
forms was about the same.
I'.ark brought the lowest price In
New Hampshire, and the highest Iu
Oregon, with an average or ?0.J0 per
cord. More than In bark the price of
extract varied widely according to tho
material from which It was manufac
tured. The extract of quebracho,
tree of Mexico, Central America, South
America and the West Indies, from
which seven-eighths "of all Imported
tanning materials are secured, had an
average price of $1S per barrel, and
hemlock brought $12.00 per barrel, oak
$0.00 per barrel aud chestnut $0.12
per barrel.
Statistics of the consumption of tan
bark and tanning extract In 1000,
gathered In co-operation with the bu
reau of tho census, are given In circu

In this advanced age of civilization,
there is so much competition in everj
line of business and entertainment,
that it ia only the most enterprising
that succeed.
Nearly every year some circus closes
or consolidates with some other; this
year several are closing, and why?
Because competition has become so
strong that it takes only the shrewd
est and keenest business men to keep
up with the onward rush and take out
a circus that will be up to date in
every respect and satisfy and please
the tastes of the people of today.
Men who intend to cater to this gen
eration in any line of entertainment
must be up and doing all the time, no
laggards can stay in this race, for race
is what it amounts to; and there is
not a dav. week, or month iu the
whole year that the energetio Camp
bell Brother can set aside, for rest cr
vacation . As soon as their season
cloaea they begin to prepare their
shows for the next season. Frem the
day they go into winter quaiters at
Fairbury. Neb, till they open in the
soring, there ia not a busier bunch of
business men than these well kuown
Campbell Brothers.
Tbfir efforts of tue past season are

No man's credit ia so bad he can
not borrow trouble.
Many a man can trace the begin
ning of success to the door of an ab
ject failure.
The man who tells you he has never
felt his blood stirred by a pair of
bright eyea and pouting lips is a liar
or a fool or both.

Ilran aa a Health Food.
Bran is the latest health food, ac
cording to a Walnut street physician
and", as a result, feed store merchants
are enjoying an unheard-of prosperity,
Bran Is the outer covering of wheat,
rye, oats, and other similar grain, and
has been used from time Immemorial
for food for cattle. Its use as a food
for human beings, however, Is compara
tlvely recent; but leading physlclana
with troublesome Indigestion cases on
hand are resorting to the bran cure.
Brown bread had its origin as bran
bread, being made from bran instead
of tlour. The color of the bread and
the similarity In names gave the occa
sion of the change from bran to brown,
and the great majority of the brown
bread of to-day does not contain any
bran. Doctors tay bran is a step back
to nature, and, consequently, Is healing
to an ailing stomach. Within the paat
few months more physicians have been
reeommendius th- use of bran In many
forms to their patients, and. as the rtv
su'.t of this boom, proprietors of th
city feed stoivs have advanced the
price of bran from 3 cents to 10 cent
a pound since summer. Philadelphi

Why
Suffer?
If you suffer pain froni
any cause, Dr. Miles' Anti-J
Pain Pill3 will relieve it
and leave no bad after-)
effects. That's the impor
tant thing. Neither do
they create a habit. More
often the attacks becomo
less frequent, or disappear,
altogether. Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pills have no
other effect except to re
lieve pain and quiet nerv
ous irritation.
"We are never without Tr. Miles'
Antt-Pain 1111s. My husband and
Bon, BgfA 15 were always Bubject to
elok headache until we beRiin uslnif
these I'llls. and they have broken
them up entirely. Iwin't think they
have had to use them for six months.
I recommend them to every one. A
few weeks r.fro 1 heard an old lady
friend was sick. I went to see her.
She was down with ljiGrlppe. and
nearly crazy with awful backache.
I give her one of the Antl-Paln I'illa
and left another for her to take In
a short time. They helped her right
away, and nhe says Bhe will never bo
without them again. I-ast winter my
husband was taken with pluerlsv on
both sides, and I know he would have
riled If It hadn't been for the Pills.
In less than half an hour he was
sweating, and went to bed and slept."
