The machine which Is doing the bookkeeping at the local bank ia bat one of fifty-eight different styles now turned out at the Burroughs factory. There are machines to list and add fractions, yards, feet and inches, En­ glish money, tons and cwt„ etc. Some of the machines are designed to make out monthly statements, in addition to doinsr their usual*work. They print the statements from an endless print­ ed roll, setting down dates, debits and credits in separate columns. There are also machines called "splits." whicn will put down two or three separate columns and add them up mrualtane- ously, giving the correct addition of each column independently. They ^Iso make out large reports, insurance tables, etc., on large sheets np to eight­ een inches, cross tabulating and giving footings across as well as vertically. All Burroughs machines rnary be oper­ ated by electricity, the operator having nothing to do but touch the keys and press a small touch bar. , " On these machines the world's speed records have been made, one operator performing the feat of listing and add­ ing the amount of 500 assorted bank checks in tfa# remarkable time of six minutes, eighteen seconds. The cashier of the bank is greatly pleased with his new bookkeeper,- and extends an invitation to business men to call at the bank and see how it adds.

St.'-; i The new bookkeeper at the hank is arousing a good deal of interest among local business men. It is nothing bat a machine--"brains in a box" they call it--bat it was sold on a life contract to do all the adding and figuring required by the bank every day. Its real name is the Burroughs adding and listing machine, and it will put down figures in long columns and add them up faster than six expert book­ keepers. Moreover, the makers guar­ antee that it cannot make a mistake, as the best bookkeeper will sometimes do. This makes it an insurance of the ac­ curacy of the bank's accounts with its patrons, and shows the progressivenesa of the bank officials. When yon stand in front of this ma­ chine and consider that it is nothing but a mass of wheels and buttons, you find it hard to believe that it will actually set down columns of figures a mile long if necessary and give, the correct answer instantly. William Seward burroughs, who in­ vested the wonderful adding machine* was a bank clerk whose health was de­ stroyed by the drudgery of bank work and had to give it up to save his life. He thereupon resolved to invent a ma­ chine that would do the hard work in a bank, altho no one had succeeded out of hundreds of inventors who bad attempt­ ed the task. That was a quarter cen­ tury ago, and Burroughs worked for years before he had even a model of hife invention to show. He met with very little encouragement or assistance in those dark days, becauae everyone re­ garded him as a "crank" who was try ing to achieve the impossible. At last, however, he produced a rough model that would actually set down figures and add them, but it was years after that before he had an entirely practical machine that could be placed on the market, and even then he was not satisfied, for he called in the firwt hundred machines that were sold, took them to an upper story of the building where he had bis workshop and threw the whole lot of machines, one on top of the other, in a shapeless mass of scrap on the paving of the courtyard below. It is not hard to believe that be ahed tears as he thns voluntarily destroyed what was practically his life work. But that was not the end. Burroughs continued to strive for perfection, until at last he produced a machine that was pronounced perfect. This is the Bur­ roughs adding and listing machine of today, and altho it has been in success­ ful operation for over fifteen years, it has never been improved upon. The es­ sential principles of the device as it left Burroughs' hands remain unchanged today. The greatest change in the adding machine business since Burroughs' day has been in the extensive application of the machine. Burroughs never thought of his machine except for use in banks. He figured that there were possibly 8,000 banks that would ultimately use it, a prediction which was considered extravagant and a "dream" by his as­ sociates. Today, however, there are over 850 different lines of business whitoh use the Burroughs daily, aside from banks and financial institutions. They are used in every kind of business, from small retail stores to the largest indus­ tries. The U. S. government alone has between eight and nine hundred Bur­ roughs in its various departments. In' stead of 8,000 machines, which Bur roughs dreamed of, there are now more than 80,000 Burroughs in use, and they are coming thru the Burroughs model factory in Detroit, Mioh., at the rate of one every fifteen minutes. Less than one foorth of the machines sold tod*/ •:v VOI.O. Arthur Frost made a business trip to Waukegan Monday. George Richardson of Round Lake was iu Volo Sunday.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re­ sponsible for much sickness and suffering, therefore, if kidney trouble is permitted to continue, serious re­ sults are most likely to follow. Your other organs may need at­ tention, but your kid­ neys most, because they do most and should have attention first. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your en­ tire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con­ vince you of its great merit. T!te tnildr und immediate effect of Swamp- Root, the great kidney and bliullor remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest because its remarkable health restoring properties have been proven in thousands of the.most distress­ ing cases. If you need a medicine you sliouUl have the best.
