WILSON'S PHYSICIAN A man who can serve one president as naval aid and physician is entitled to consideration. A man who can serve three presidents so different in temperament as Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson can justly claim credit for great professional skill and an even higher mark of distinction for diplomacy of the very first order.

U. S. doesn't claim credit for anything. As a matter of fact, he is an unusually modest person when it is considered that upon his sturdy shoulders has fallen the burden of keeping three presidents in physical trim and restoring them to normal health from the wear and tear of office cares.

WHEN OTHER METHODS FAIL TRY A PIONEER WANT ADVERTISEMENT wmmm HELP BUSINESS TO PROSPER Matter of Vital Interest to Whole Community That Its Industries Shall Flourish and Grow. There is an old saying among merchants that there are just two ways to increase their volume of business, remarks Carl Hunt in The Nation's Business. One is through the sale of merchandise to more people the other, through the sale of more merchandise to present customers. What is the community doing to help present industries? Is some manufacturer handicapped through the lack of street car transportation for his men, or through the need of a railroad switch that a stubborn city council has declined to authorize, or through some restriction which might easily andl properly be removed? Or could additional capital be invested in the present enterprises of the city, to the benefit of the community, and the profit of local investors? I am well acquainted with a small Indiana city which in time past has undertaken to be the home of a rolling mill and a large tin-plate mill, though there was no apparent reason why either should have been situated there.

Both of them failed. In the meantime, the whole community stood upon a foundation of stone which was of excellent quality for paving purposes and from which lime could be, and later was, produced. The one man who entered the stone business there eventually had a thriving trade which later, passing into the hands of outside people, grew still larger. With fuela good grade of coalbut a few miles away, and with such stone deposits, this community might have developed along this line had local capital become interested, or had the community made a serious and well-directed effort to interest stone men from other places, for the city has excellent railroad servicethree main linesand is within easy shipping distance of several important cities which afford a large market for crushed stone.
