THE OLD-TIME PARLOR.
Thre used to be In almost every ru

I gut; a Jar of waxwork on the center

ends on the what-not In the corner;
mottos and cbromoa on the wall; a vlv
Id Ingrain or Brussels carpet on
the floor. The Bound of festivity sel
dom penetrated the gloom of this par
lor, says the Philadelphia Troaa. At
rare Interyals distinguished Tlaltors
were received In It witnesses of wed
ding or funeral. It was never a
rleaaant room; It smelted damp and
dnnty; the children stood In awe of It;
tr.d yet It was their mother's pride.
Ifr.ppUy the day of the pentnp, un-r-.vory
parlor Is fast passing away.
The children, going out into the big
fccr world with obaervant eyes, have,
returned to the homestead and Insisted
upon flinging open the doors and win
dows and admitting a burst of sunlight
and a rush of pure air. They have
made a living- room of a tomb. In
their childhood the kitchen waa the
mot comfortable place In the house; It
vna scrubbed every day, ventilated al
ways, made light and airy and clean
end hospitable while the ghastly for
ti'dden precincts of the parlor were
exposed to sanitary search not oftener
than twice a year during the Inev
itable spring and fall bousecleanlng.
It Is only recently that they have dis
covered a way of canning decayed
eggs, and there are bakers In the large
c!Ues who are so devoid of honesty
that they would as soon use rotten
eggs as fresh one. Thus a market la
created, and but for the fact that the
state under Its pure food laws can
step In and condemn this product as
unfit for consumption, the problem cre
ated by cold storage would have been
rendered more complex as the year go
by, says the Rochester Herald. It Is
not beyond the bonds of possibility
that meat which baa been cold-stored
to the point of decay Is treated In the
same manner. No one ever hears of
it being thrown away.

Firemen Often Fooled by Freak Calls
57
I Iff i Mil
NEW YORK. In the face of acci
dent the unresourceful New York
er flies to two sources of safety and
relief of the police and the fire de
partments. He has no confidence In
himself. The result of walking In the
same groove with his many brothers
day In and day out for so many years
has left him with no Incentive to do
the work of rescue. The fire alarm
box Is so handy and the "cop" Is so
accessible, "what would be the use?"
he asks himself. For this reason no
firemen In any section of the country
are called upon to do such a variety
of things as those In the larger cities.
Perhaps one of the most humorous
calls for the Are department in New
York came when an epileptic, about
to "throw a fit," had held a bottle of
medicine to his mouth, which he ex
plained to the court afterward, would
have prevented the attack. Rome self
appointed guardian. Imagining the bot
tle contained poison, dashed it to tbe
pavement and called for the firemen.
Great crowds gathered about the spot
where the man lay and the firemen
and policemen of the district added to
the throng. The firemen were dis
gusted, the police were disgusted and
eventually the epileptic was disgusted
because he was arrested for causing
a disturbance.
A few nights later a drunk sent In
an alarm to the police department in
a certnln district ff.tlng he had been
held up and roDbeu. TIj '.caned
against a fire alarm box while he
called the police and soon the fire
men were galloping to the scene. This
"plucked bird" was fined for sending
In a false alarm.
Last year one of the Innovations in
the rescue work of New York firemen
which includes anything from taking
cats from trees to rescuing people in
42-story buildings, was the rescue of
an aviator whose machine had be
come entangled in a mase of wires In
Brooklyn.
A little girl, eager to get a "look"
Into a fine garden, thrust her head be
tween two pickets and once there she
was unable to release herself. The
firemen and police wero called, but
finally a doctor came forward with a
little vasallne, applied it on the
child's head and the rescue was ef
fected. Recently a fireman was Injured by a
fall from a tree while rescuing a cat
that had escaped a canine's fury.
There are scores of such happenings
every day in great cities and among
the heaviest bills fire departments
must pay sre those caused by re
sponding to false alarms.

ANOOR, ME. One of the finest
packs of bloodhounds in this part
of the country is kept at the Maine
State prUon In Thomaston for the
moral effect on prisoners who contem
plate escape. The pack Is a mixture
of an Imported English strain and
carefully bred southern stock. One of
the pack, when but a young puppy,
was presented to Marguerite Owen, a
Belfast girl, and the two have been
Inseparable companions for the last
three years. Tbe dog's name Is Hilda.
She la of a most sensitive and sym
pathetic nature and feels a cross word
much more than some dogs would
a kick. She romps with the children.
her favorite diversion being hide-and-
seek. She knows the children by
name, and when she is "It," she al
ways finds the one she is told to
seek.
Hilda has a bedroom all to herself,
fitted up with a jjlttle Iron cot with
real bedclothes like one of the fam
ily. Tbe room is lighted with elec
trlclty, and each night her mistress
goes upstairs and Hilda crawls into
bed, lays her head o: tbe pillow and
waits to be covered up and tucked In.
When this Is done the light Is turned
off and she is left for the night, rare
ly stirring until called In the morning.
Mention of bloodhounds usually Bug
gests "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the
great, bloodthirsty beasts that chase
Eliza across the Ice, but the big, fe
rocious appearing "man tracking Cu
ban bloodhounds" of the show bills
are usually the lumbering, good na
tured Great Danes, mastiffs or a cross
breed. It Is easy to teach them to
chase Eliza, when the unfortunate
woman ban some choice tidbits in the
pockets of her apron with which to
feed the dogs if they chase her with
satisfactory realism.
The chief characteristic of the gen
uine bloodhound Is the marvelous de
velopment of their scent-following in
stinct, especially when trained to fol
low human beings. Their ability to
keep the trail is the result of tntelll
gence and training and not on account
of any animosity against the person
being trailed, for, contrary to the gen
eral supposition, the real bloodhuund
rarely if ever attacks the person be
has been following.
There are dogs In the south and In
Cuba known as bloodhounds, which
are fierce, treacherous and dangerous,
but these are the result of cross
breeding with mastiffs and other
strains.

begging funds on the streets, and Im

women of Des Moines blacking shoes,

the women of Des Moines' Women's

with which to buy pictures and pu lut

It all came about when at a meet
ing of the Women's club the low con
dition of the treasury was discuss
ed. Something had to be done. Mu
slcales luncheons, amateur theatricals
all had been tried time and time
again.
"Why not earn money like working

Mrs. Berryhlll was In dead earnest.
That is the way it all came about
Before the meeting adjourned the
women were enthusiastic. The next
day the women were at work. Mrs.
Ernst Brown, president of the club,
"earned" her first dollar selling eggs
produced from a pen of five chick
ens, for which her husband, her first
customer, paid $100.
Mrs. Carroll, wife of the governor
of Iowa, became so enthusiastic that
she was mistaken for a beggar while
soliciting funds on the street. Mrs.
Berryhlll sold newspapers. Mrs. L. M.
Mann, whose husband has made his
fortune In real estate, decided to do
shampooing. Mrs. W. F. Mitchell, ex
presldent of the club, has been sell
ing homo-made aprons. Mrs. Oeorge
Aultnann began her fund by selling
doughnuts. Mrs. Weltz preempted the
'kitchen and baked dozens of pies.
Mrs. Frank McKay has been selling
popcorn. In fact, every woman In the
club Is doing all kinds of work, even
down to shining shoes. When the
$2,300 Is secured, it Is the intention
to hold a celebration.
Of course the women are making
good. Clad In sealskin Jackets and
modlBh hats, they are making a great
hit on the streets. It is Beldom that
a man refuses to buy when he Is of
fered a pair of bedroom slippers or a
box of home made candy, even if It ti

Danville, 111. Judge KImbrough in

Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and

him.
The court Instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a .witness before the grand Jih-y is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the Investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. It Is
said that many Indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote

BY C. W. JENNINGS.
44 4
YOU don't think you'd
like your boy to become a
bookkeeper. Well, what
about an accountant?
You don't know about
that exactly? You're afraid.
h, that that's a Job not much bet
ter than that of bookkeeper?
Well, then, listen while I tell you
briefly about the apotheosis of the for
mer unimportant bookkeeper under
the title of accountant And first give
heed to the following excerpt from a
university prospectus, introducing a
talk on Its course In accountancy.
"Twenty years ago," it says, "most
business concerns of this country
were satisfied If their bookkeepers
could render to them at the close of
each month an accurate statement of
cash income and cash outgo, and could
make up at the end of the year a bal
ance sheet which would show the true
condition of their affairs. In other
words, they asked for nothing more
than a record of results. "
today, tne managers of progres
sive and successful concerns call upon
accountants not bookkeepers to aid
them in the efficient administration of
their business. They demand of the
accountant that he show them the
true cost of every product that they
turn out; that he measure the efTl
clency of the men nnd machines that
they employ; that he trace the effect
upon profits of new methods and In
ventlons. In short, the accountant is
expected to analyze the business and
to measure accurately all the forces
and factors that are engaged therein.
"To perform this work successfully,
the accountant must not only under
stand all the complicated interlocking
records of the business, he must have
a grasp also of all the essential feat
ures of its management, and must be
himself an administrator of a high
order. Public accountants ' particular
ly, inasmuch as they may be called
on to install or reorganize accounting
systems in any line of business,
must have a wide and accurate knowl
edge of business organizations, of
finance, and of economies, as well as
of accounting proper.
Now let me quote a summary of the
high place in modern affairs the for
merly unimportant bookkeeper bus
reached: "The public accountant Is
expected to have a knowledge of the
underlying principles of the laws that
govern business relations and of the
practical application of such laws, a
thorough knowledge of the principle.!
of modern accounting and of their
scientific application to the keeping
and stating of accounts in all lines of
business enterprise and wherevor set
tlements involving money are to be
made. He Is expected to be able ,to
solve the most abstruse and Intricate
problems that arise In any branch of
accounting; and, as an auditor, he is
expected to have a broad general
knowledge of business, with the In
tuition of the detective as well as the
skill of the accountant."
Well, when casting about for the
llfework for your boy, and he shows
a liking for "flgRcrs" and business
analysis, don't stick up your nose at
any ideas of bookkeeping as you re
member it; but let him go on, Bure in
the knowledge that he is starting on
a road that leads straight into the
highest and most lucrative positions
in any and all lines of commerce. It
Is no exaggeration to say that many.
many managers of. the bigger busi
nesses of the country today wero ear
ly in their lives running up columns
of figures at a bookkeeper's desk.
Like most lines of endeavor, ac
countancy is not a line that requires
a college education as a preliminary;
indeed, your boy may start in almost
any time after his Infancy In the un
hallowed Job of office boy, secure in
his confidence that the handle of the
world can be manipulated from that
beginning if he only has ambition and
application. Office boys generally re
ceive $4 or $5 a week.
As soon as he starts In this humble
place, however, your boy should get
to work learning things that he will
not be taught In the ordinary details
of his employment; for his usefulness
will depend upon his increasing his
efficiency and earning more than he Is
paid. There is no branch of activity
that offers greater facilities to the
energetic young man anxious to ad
vance; for the country Is full of
schools giving day and evening
courses of study in business, ranging
from special courses in the public
schools and those costing very little
In the Y. M. C. A.'s, to the more ad
vanced uulverslty courses In accoun
tancy that require previous prepara
tion equivalent to u four years' high
Bcliool course and end In the degree
of Bachelor of Commercial Science.
Your boy's special work at evening
school or outside study will include
bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic,
penmanship, business letter writing,
business forms, commercial geo
graphy, and the elements of commer
cial law, and stenography and typo
writing will also be found useful, If
he has time to take It up. Soon after
completing this course, which will re
quire a year or so, he will be grati
fied at receiving a promotion to a
sort of Junior clerkship at a salary of
$8 or $10 a week. r
In a year or so more, then a va
cancy occurring, or one being made
for the ambitious clerk, there will be
another promotion to a more Impor
tant position at $12 a week, and so
on be advances, till he Is finally head
bookkeeper at anywhere from $20 to
$40 a week, according to the extent of
the firm's business. This will come,
probably, by the time he Is thirty.
Long before this, however, your boy
will have seen the necessity of pos
sessing still greater technical educa
tion, if he is to reach the high posi
tion of certified public accountant,
which leads straight Into the "more
involved and more important phases
of modern business. The complete
collegiate course bringing a degree
requires, generally speaking, an hour
at school every day (or evening) for
three years, and takes him into th-s
advanced analysis of accounting,
finance, and business. And he should
add to this a course In advanced com
mercial law, which he can pursue at
tbe same time.
Now, he needs more experience.
which he can beet get, probably, un
der the direction of an established
public accountant. He enlists, there
fore, as Junior clerk at $20 or $25 a
week, and after a year or so Is ad
vanced to senior clerk at a salar
ranging up to as much as $60 weekly.
A year or two more, and your boy will
probably be known as a thoroughly
cqmpetent accountant and business
analyst.
From here on his advancement may
be along any of many lines. If he
chooses to remain in Independent ac
counting, he will probably organize a
firm of his own, either with or with
out partners and hang out his shingle,
depending entirely upon commissions
from business firms and municipal
and legislative work. There is no
end of revenue in this class of busi
ness, as you will readily see by re
calling the frequent analysis and "ex
perting" of various state and munici
pal departments and bureaus that are
required. It is almost the custom In
many places It is required for public
officials at regular Intervals to have
the work of their departments "cer
tified" by public accountants, which
means big fees .and when special in
vestigations of large public enter
prises are made these fees sometimes
amount to thousands of dollars. From
$25,000 to $50,000 Is by no means un
usual payment for such work.
Another lucrative specialty that has
grown up in this line during the last
decade has been that of business re
organizer, or "developers of earning
power," as some of these specialists
are called. Their services are sought
by business houses that are confront
ed by disaster or embarrassment, or
for some reason beyond their re
sources to prevent, are not getting
the results they believe they should
Enter the "developer," at a stipulated
fee, which is generally pretty high
and makes a profound and analytical
investigation of the business, which
may reqblre several months' work of
himself and an assistant or two, at
the end of which time he makes a long
and complete report on every phase
of the establishment, from the order
ing and receipt of raw material, to
the cost of manufacture, including
wages and machinery, and the sale
and final shipment of the finished pro
duct. This report frequently recom
mends the complete reversal of meth
ods of operation the firm has followed
and requires Its entire reorganization,
and generally results In the company's
entering upon a new era of prosperity.
If your boy owns the firm that has
done this reorganizing, ho will prob
ably remain in the business and final
ly be one of the big institutions of
his community; but If he Is one of
the assistants and takes an important
part In the Investigation, you can
readily see the Importance he has as
sumed In -the estimation of the firm
after its business has reached a pros
perous condition. What more likely
than that he should be offered the
position of auditor or manager or
other responsible place? This fre
quently happens, as the writer hereof
knows. I recall one young man who
was given a position in Just this way
way which pays $15,000 a year.
This is the apotheosis of tbe form
er unimportant bookkeeper.

"But why should they think tHat,
dear?"

HEREDITY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.
The influence of heredity cannot, of
course, be successfully disputed, but
It can be minimized or entirely over
come In some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn, lady says:
"For years while I was a coffee
drinker I suffered from bilious at
tacks of great seventy, from which I
used to emerge as white as a ghost
snd very weak. Our family physi
cian gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
"He was acquainted with my fam
ily history for several generations
back, and once when I visited him he
said: 'If you have Inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its Inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know.'
"I was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be
ginning to think for myself, I conclud
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. I feared
it would be a severe trial to give it
up, but when I took Postum and had
It well made, it completely filled my
teed for a hot beverage and I grew
very fond of It
"I have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time I have had absolutely none of
tbe bilious attacks that I used to suf
fer from, and I have been entirely
free from the pain and debilitating ef
fects that used to result from them.
"The change is surely very great,
aad I am compelled to give Postum
tile exclusive credit for it." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
