Occasionally, my system would become thoroughly clud: .1 with poi son, and I would hav : a real sick spell. Now I ward thorn off by being for. handed, and taking Black-Draught before they come, instead of after. “We all use Black-Draught In our homo, for constipation and Indigestion.” Get a package today, and try Thedford’s Black-Draught tho next time you are consti pated.

Twelve miles of the East river, which skirts the shores of Manhattan island, are declared to bo made so warm that the river cannot freeze. This seems sofnewhat like a miracle, but it is merely a simple fact about which there is not even a mystery. The explanation of the seeming ly impossible is that nine huge elec tric stations on East river use its water in tin ir condensers. The wa ter heated by this use is returned to the river and it keeps the tem perature of the river from Hell gate to Governor’s island approxi mately ten degrees warmer -than it otherwise would be. Tho st am-heating of the East river began with the Twentieth cen tury. and it is said that since 1900 ihe river he. 3 never been frozen over. % An immense waste of energy is suggested by this unnecessary heat ing of a river. Some time, it may lie expected, clever engineers will find a way to put to the usa of men this energy which they have created in the form of heat and then turned into waste.

Relics of Old Telescope The first of two great telescope reflectors with a four-foot aperture, constructed 139 years ago by Sir William Uofschel, fam'ous astrono mer, for his 40-foot astronomical telepscope, has been found. It came to light during alterations to an old cottage adjoining the observatory at Slough. England, where llerschel made his astronomical discoveries. Famous Civil War Song Result of Suggestion Julia Ward Howe awoke in tho Willard hotel in Washington tho morning after an unexpected move ment of the Confederates had pre vented the staging of a military pageant she had gone some miles from Washington to witness. As site awoke, her mind began arranging the words of a song, and she lay very still, until thfe last verso was completed. Then she arose, found pen, and scribbled the words on paper. That song was the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” It was while she was returning with friends from the scene of the interrupted pageant that she gdt the first idea for the song, accord ing to the Kansas City Times. Fed eral infantry nearly filled the road, and Mrs. Howe and her friends be gan to sing songs to cheer the fight ers. Their singing of “John Brown’s body lion a mould’ring in the grave” seemed to delight the sol diers, and one member of Mrs. Howe’s party suggested she ought to write some new words for that tune. The suggestion seemed to lie dormant, for she slept as usual that night, but in the morning she awoke to find the song almost writing it self. Lesson Should Have Cured Greedy Person Every church ban probably one member who possesses rather sticky fingers. This person is usually a member who has at least the neces saries of life, if not the luxuries. lu one church recently some of the young married women decided that they would attempt to cure the offending one in their commu nity. ‘ After the next church dinner this woman, who had contributed a small dish of unsweetened apple sauce, went from table to table pre tending to gather up what was left of ihe things which she had brought. Great pieces of cake, halves of pies and many sandwiches found their way into the basket which she carried on her arm. AVhen the congregation gathered in the auditorium to hear tho after noon address, the women left in the kitchen unpacked the basket of the sticky-fingered sister and replaced the generous portions of food with breaderusts, chicken hones and oth er refuse.—Indianapolis News. Deplorable Waste in Kitchens of the Poet Extravagance, one of the national vices of America, is not confined to the homes of the rich, explains Kathleen Norris, well-known nov elist. “Indeed it is in the slum kitchens that one see* waste in its most shocking form,” the writer says, “the kettle br/ils on madly for an hour after th* teapot is filled; tho electric light burns on unnoted in a streak of poon sunshine; the uneducated urA listless woman of the family slices away a quarter inch of good potato with each strip of skin, crackers tire crumbled and thrown out in paper boxes, cold co- reals, cold rice, cold stale ends of loaves are allowed to mold and are tumbled into the always ready garb age bucket. “A New York baker told me that lie had tried for years to establish a market for stale bread—two loaves for the price of one,” she points out. “But they won’t have stale bread, nor skirts of: last nutiimn's length, nor lip-red except of the newest shade. Nobody gives ‘the poor’ old clothes any more—they won’t wear them.”—Liberty. Deed Worthy cf Place in American History The so-called Lost battalion was ! a detachment of about 550 Amor- j lean troops, under the command, of Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey, dur ing the battle, of the Meuse-Argon- r.e. They were cut off from the re mainder of the Seventy-seventh division and surrounded by the Germans near Charlevaux in fhe Argonne forest from the morning of October 3 to the night of October 7, 1918. The enemy attacked al most continuously and on the ! fourth day sent Major Whittlesey a proposition to surrender, which he rejected with contempt. When relief finally arrived, only 194 offi cers and men were able to walk out. One hundred and seven had been killed, and most of the others vvero wounded. The gallant commander mysteriously disappeared at sea after the close of the war.—Path finder Magazine. To Honor Composers of Immortal Carol The memory of the two men who gave the world c*c of its best- known Christmas carols, “Stille Naeht,” is to he perpetuated by a monument to bo erected in Ohern- dorf, Bavaria, their native village near the Passion Play city of Ober- ammergau. The words of “Silent Night,” which has been translated into vir tually all living tongues, were writ ten in 1825 by Father Franz Jo seph Mohr, an assistant priest. The melody was composed by the parish teacher, Franz Gruber. Funds for the memorial are being raised by the sale of a brochure on the history of the carol, written by Doctor Wein- manns, director of the conservatory for church music at Regensburg, Bavaria. Good Advertising in If nw-Window Movies Show-window movies oiler enter tainment for thousands of people. It is the kites', form of advertising and one of those devices being set up in the window of a corner drug store, for instance, offers diversion for hundreds of people at one time and the spectators arc coming and going all the time. The show g es on automatically hour after hour with little or r.o attention. 'The pictures appear on a two-foot screen which is properly shielded from the daylight. For a sale of first-aid nr- ticles the reel tells a little story showing the value of having one of these kits at hand. While'll touch of romance and some fun are gen erally woven into the story the end lessness of the film is accomplished in tin ingenious manner. The roll of film is divided down tho middle and only half is shown at a time. When the end of the roll is Touched an automatic switch throws the oth er half of the film into view, show ing the picture over again as the film is rewound. Other machine* of the same type run off an eight reel picture, which may be thrown cn a screen of any size and require, after the loading, no manipulation save onlv the touch of a button. I CarduS Helpful to South Carolina Lady Whose Health Gave Way. Mrs. Letha Cabanlss, of Chcsneo, S. C., “did too much,” and her “henltb. gavo way.” Slio writes: “I took hoarders and, at tho snmo lime, worked In tlio mill. As a result, I had to stay In bed from overwork for eighteen days. I had bad pains . . . I got clear down and was very much depressed. “I had read of where Cardul had helped other women suffering with trou bles like my own, so I mado up my mind to take Cardui, myself. “I sent and got a bottle, and It did me so much good I took It on until I ’ got entirely well.” Card al should also prove helpful in your case.

AT* THE ZOO Light Bulbs on Scalpels Headlights on surgical scalpels, scissors and other instruments are a recent invention by Dr. II. Ilaebler, a German surgeon. They are de signed especially for operations in the deeper body cavities, where the floodlight of the operating room is not always sufficient. The electric lamp is about the size of an ordi nary bean, and receives its current through a pair of slender wires. The whole apparatus can be heat-steril ized as thoroughly ns the metal in struments themselves. University on Ocean The “floating university” called the ship Ryndam left Hoboken Sep tember 18, 1926, with 500 students, 120 women and 380 men for an eight-months cruise around the world, during which the vessel was to call at 47 ports and traverse 50,- 000 mile?. There were 50 faculty members aboard, including hospital attendants, welfare workers and printers, who published a daily pa per, edited by Henry J. Allen, for mer governor of Kansas, who was in cltarge of the course in journalism. I The ship will return.to Now York May 4, 1927. The cruise is under tho management of the University Travel association. Easier to Make Than Keep Every man in the employ of a concern in San Francisco makes more money every day than Henry Ford. They make it, but don’t get it. The concern is the United States mint, and the value of the average daily output per capita of the employees is $600,000. Making money is easy enough, the superin tendent pointed out. All that is needed is a few tons of gold, a dash of copper, a portable smelting fur nace and a stamping machine. Bobbie—Oh, ha, ha, that parrot looks just like Aunt Maria, ma! Mother—Gracious, don’t you know you shouldn't talk that way, Bobbie ? Bobbie—Gosh, ma, that parrot can’t understand English. It says on his cage he conic from Brazil. EXECUTOR’S SALE.

Nursery Cares Added Post quartermasters of the army arc to add care of nurseries in their numerous and varied existing du ties, but their infants will he trees, shrubs, plants and other growing things for landscape gardening at their posts. The plan is a part of the army housing scheme, and as no funds are available for land scape gardening, this aspect de pends upon the work of the indi vidual quartermasters. Good Advice Ford Madox Ford, the English novelist now lecturing in America, has had a hard struggle—is still having, in fact, a hard struggle. At a Columbia reception a girl sophomore said to him eagerly: “After I graduate, Mr. Ford, I want to go into some business that promises quick returns. Could you advise me?” The novelist gave.a hitter laugh. “Try magazine writing,” ho said. Trap Worked Not being able to detect a milk thief that drank from the bottles on his doorstep, Nicholas Pasquale of Vineland, N, J., set a spoonful of liniment to work by pouring it into the, bottle of milk. The milk was soon missing and at a nearby house a cry went up that roused the neigh borhood. It came from a hov who could only point to the bottle and shout: “Take it away.” Can Tell Genuine Pearls Pearl merchants in London are much perturbed at the report from Vienna that scientists have at last discovered a means of distinguish ing genuine pearls from what are called “Japanese” pearls. Even the best of the imitation pearls will be recognizee] as such by an expert. The Japanese pearls, made by in serting a pebble or other nucleus in to the shell of a pearl oyster so that it is covered with a genuine layer of mother-of-pearl, are not so readily distinguishable from the large and rare solid pearls. Renew Your Health By Purification Traveled in Dress Suit R. F. Burke, a young New York hank clerk, arrived at Southampton on board the Aquitania after a voy age during which he became famous as the “young gentleman in the dress suit.” He made the voyage equipped with dress clothes and dress clothes only, having failed to hear “All ashore that’s going ashore” when the Aquitania left I New York. Fire Fighting Made Eery The fire department of New Shorehnm, R. I., with only 2,000 feet of hose, protects 10P, square miles of territory, and can reach every house in the area. The expla nation is that the town occupies Block island and that island is dot ted with ponds and is surrounded by the Atlantic ocean. Overhead irrigation In California orchards overhead irrigation, which showers the trees with artificial rain, is being tried. Prof. H. A. Wadsworth of the Uni versity of California, after an in vestigation, finds that irrigation by overhead sprinkling is at present limited to the production of high- oriced crops on land of high value. Head of Large Family The birthday party celebrating the eighty-fourth anniversary of Mrs! Philomine Bellefeuille of Bid- deford, Maine, was necessarily a large affair, for Airs. Bellefeuille is at the head of two five-generation groups and included among the guests present were nearly all her children,' grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Taxis Travel Far Taxicabs in the metropolitan cities where they ply day and night go from 45,000 to 50,000 miles a year, or twice around the world. There are some motor hacks that average 5,000 miles a month operat ing in the busy parts of the great cities. These cabs operate with three shifts of drivers. A good av erage for a family automobile is 7,- 000 to 8,000 miles a year.

M., brought bless ings to some l^avajo Indians. The company drilled a well deeper than geologists thought it would be nec essary to go for oil and no oil ap peared, hut there was an abundant supply of fresh water in tho hole, so the company pulled up the casing and turned the hole over to the In dians for a community water well.
