Mrs. Ada illackmar, of Alex

"From tlmo to time, I would
havo spells of nausea
which would put mo to hod.
I would turn a dull, yellow
color aud, for days at a time,
would have no appetite.
Everything I ato sickened me.
"My mother had been a user
of Block-Draught for years,
so while 1 was at home, visit
ing, she asked me why I did
not try Black-Draught for my
troubles.
"I began taking a small
dose, three times a day, be
fore meal3. I kept this up
for several weeks, and It was
just a little while before I
began to notice an improve
ment In my condition.
"Black-Draught Is certainly
a fino medicine.”

British Radio Good's
Far Behind America
When wireless first became popu
lar in New Zealand the only appa
ratus available in any quantity was
American. British goods have never
caught up. American material and
American ideas dominate the wile-
loss community, and they are en
trenched behind a margin of prices
and a distinct preference for the ap
pearance of the American product.
It is a regrettable fact that deal
ers who hate endeavored to foster
the use of British radio goods have
found that receivers they have im
ported do not, .suit, tlie buyers; in
the past, at. all events, they have
been found lacking in selectivity, a
point in which the average Ameri
can receiver is far superior. There
has been always the need to lie able
to cut out completely an unwanted
local, station in order to he able to
hear one a thousand miles away.
The characteristic appearance of
the “sll-enclosed” American set also
appeals to the New Zealand enthu
siast, and the average home con
structor almost invariably chooses
that type of construction.—London
Times.
Development of Watch
Shown by Collection
The most unusual collection of j
old timepieces in America is in a I
tiny shop on Wc®; street, in lower !
New York, where the front window
is filled with clocks and watches
gathered during the past 35 years
by the proprietor, a watchmaker !
who came from Denmark a genera
tion ago.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, a
correspondent of the American
Magazine counted more than 10,000
people who paused in front of this i
•Lop window to puzzle over a new
exhibit called a “perpetual motion”
clock.
Fred Jensen, the proprietor,
learned watchmaking as an appren
tice in Copenhagen, then married
his employer’s daughter and brought
jher to New York. In cases on the
.walls of this shop are more than 1,-
000 watch movements, showing the
i development of the watch from the
1 clumsy turniplike affair of 300
years ago to the thin graceful time
-keepers of today.
Large American Mills
I- It is claimed that the largest
hosiery mill in the world is located
at Durham, N. C.; the largest towel
mill at Kannapolis, the largest den
ims mill at Greensboro, the largest
damask mill at Roanoke Rapids and
i the largest underwear factory in the
, United States at Winston-Salem.
! Nearly half of all the cotton mills
of the Southern states are located
in North Carolina, and it takes
; nearly 300,000 tons of cotton to
‘keep them busy.
Civic Pride inspired
by Adopted Slogans
Lou E. Holland, ex-president of
the Advertising Clubs of the World,
said at a Kansas City banquet:
“A good many cities have adopt
ed slogans. Some of these slogans
are pretty bad, pretty painful. Take
Newark—-‘Newark Knows How.’
Take Des Moines—‘The City of the
Hour.’ Or St. Joseph—‘The City
Worth While.’ These slogans are
bad because there’s ■ too much brag
and flapdoodle about them.
“And yet, bad as they are, they
work. They inspire love and pride
in their citizens’ hearts.
“A difficult, bashful young fel
low plunged into the icy waters of
the Hudson the other day and saved
an old woman from drowning. Af
terward the praise and acclamations
of the crowd made him in his bash
fulness blush and shrink as if he’d
done some shameful deed.
“‘Where are you from?’ a re
porter finally asked him.
“His shrinking air vanished at
once. His chest swelled out, bis
eye flashed, and he answered Iti a
proud and ringing voice:
“ ‘I am from Duluth,, V<ie Zenith
City of the Unsalted Sea.’ ”—De
troit Free Press.
“Bill Sykes” No Model
for Crooks of Today
Gone are the days when criminals
wore sweaters and pulled their caps
down over their noses, asserts an
anonymous taxi driver who tells in
an article in Liberty about life on
the streets of New York after mid
night. “Swell clothes,” he says,
“are as much a part of the crook’s
equipment today as his gun.
“He plays the night clubs and
speak-easios,” the writer continues,
“where bad booze and free money
make rich pickings. All of this type ’
are youngsters between nineteen
and twenty-five. They may be dope
addicts and they may not. Nice-
looking boys they are, with their
hair slicked down. But they are
killers, just the same. Many a taxi
driver lias had his heart blown out
because some move made the stick-
up man nervous. Sometimes these
youths are helped by their sweeties.”
Lock Foils Thieves
A new lock is designed for the
door of the bedroom of the timid j
person who is always afraid that |
some one thievishly inclined will |
force his way in. The lock has!
what appears to be two keys, but
one of these pieces is for the pur
pose of turning the bar of the lock,
whereupon it is removed and the
other inserted. The latter prevents
the insertion of a jalse key from the
outside to open the door'.
Pneumonia Kept From
Spreading in China
Banditry and political upheavals
notwithstanding, Chinese health of
ficials, many of them trained in
occidental schools of medicine, con
tinue to carry on their campaign
to keep down disease. According
to information recently received at
the United States public health
service from Dr. Wu Lien-Teh’,
head of the North Manchurian
plague prevention service, a severe
outbreak of pneumonic plague oc
curred in Mongolia during Novem
ber and December. Stringent pre
ventive measures drew a cordon
around the infested area. Traffic
into Mongolia was stopped. Care
ful inspection of railway passen
gers from Siberia was instituted and
strict anti-plague measures were en
forced on the borders between Mon
golia and Manchuria. The medical
service in the latter region has been
able to maintain a constructive
program, which has been able to
keep tho plague situation from get
ting out of hand in spite of tho
unsettled state of the country. Man
churia lias escaped from the disease
and no oases hnve been reported
since the middle of December, ac
cording to Doctor Wu, who is an in
ternationally known authority on
plague and has written an authori
tative treatise on the pneumonic
form.
Lucky Maine Youngstcr
Hallowell, Maine, has a midget
rider—Arthur Raymond Moore, Jr.,
who will not be three years old un
til next May. He has an Indian
pony which was one of a shipment
) of ten wild ponies from the West,
j The animal responded quickly to
training and is most good-natured.
When Arthur craves real action, he
Iputs on an Indian headdress, has
himself boosted on the pony’s back
’and away he goes.
Abandoned Railroads
According to the Interstate Com
merce commission, 120 railroads
have been abandoned in the United
States since 1020. I11 78 cases, cov
ering approximately 1,400 miles,
' abandonment was due to the exhaus
tion of the natural resources from
which the lines got freight.
Imitation Cow’s Milk
Synthetic milk comes from Den
mark a recent achievement of ehem-
! istry. The butterfat of cow’s milk
I is replaced b} vegetable fat and the
( vitamines are added to complete
! the composition. The material is
I to be made commercially.
European Telephones
There were 134,437 telephones in
use on the principal telephone sys
tems of Austria at the end of 1925.
Vienna had almost 80 per cent of
this number. The telephone equip
ment in Linz, Graz and Vienna
(with the exception of one subur
ban exchange in tho latter) is auto
matic. Neustadt, St. Poeltem,
Moedling and Salzburg have sys
tems in which both manual and au
tomatic control is used.
Engineer t( Busts” Wild
Volts Like Bronchos
No cantankerous bucking bron
cho is as hard to “break” and put
to work as electricity at high volt
age on a transmission line. That
is the main reason why Rocky
mountain waterfalls have not sent
power to the Mississippi valley and
why Niagara falls has not lighted
New Y\irk. But within a 'month
new apparatus and methods of
“breaking wild power” have been
perfected in the Southwest which
make 500-mile power lines trans
mitting electricity at 220,000 volts
economically possible. The day of
thousand-mile, million-volt lines
now seems at hand. Frank G.
Baum, a San Francisco engineer,
lias developed apparatus for in
jecting a little current into “high-
lines” every 100 miles or so through
synchronous condensers. This con
trols the “waves” that surge dam-
agingly back and forth on copper
cables and raises tho capacity of a
line about 75 per cent.
Narrow Squeak for Cat
A crew locating a gas leak at
Lewiston, Maine, happened to go
under a fggt bridge. There the
frantic wailings of a cat caused
them to investigate. Squatted on
the ice-covered surface of the brook
which runs under the bridge was a
full-grown cat with its tail frozen
fast to the ice. It was firmly an
chored and had not the crew come
along, it probably would have stayed
there while its nine lives slowly de
parted.
Alaska’s Giant Turnips i
A 26-pound turnip has been
shipped from Juneau to Seattle for
exhibition. An Alaskan truck grow
er near Glacier bay grew 70 tons of
turnips last summer, many of mam
moth size. There’s a big sale for
them in the coast towns, says Cap
per’s Magazine.
Machine’s Place of Honor
War service of a linotype ma
chine is commemorated by a bronze
tablet which has been fixed in a
wall of tho government printing of
fice in Washington. It is inscribed:
“In honor of a linotype, that served
its country on the battlefields of
France. There upon a throbbing
motor truck, mid shot and shell,
this machine typed General Persh
ing’s commands to America’s vic
torious army.”
Aviator Awarded Trophy
The Collier trophy, given annual
ly for the greatest achievement in
aviation in America, the value of
which has been demonstrated by ac
tual use, has been awarded to Maj.
Edward L. Hoffman of the army !
air corps for his work in developing
the parachute now universally used.
Lifeboat of Wicker
. Something now in lifeboats has
appeared on the steamer Callisto of
Rotterdam in an ordinary craft cov
ered with woven basketwork and
cork. This buoyant “armor” is
said to afford greater ease in han
dling the boat and increased safety,
as there is no danger of sinking and
less likelihood of damage in case of
a collision.—Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
Has Proof That Owls
Can Sec in Daylight
Dan McCowan, a naturalist and
photographer of tho Canadian
Rockies at Banff, Alberta, has just
discovered that owls can Ree in the
daytime. McCowan, who has spent
twenty years studying and photo
graphing the wild life of the Banff
National park, during which time
he has taken more than 10,000 nega
tives, gives his judgment on tho see
ing capacities of the owl as follows:
“One day recently I climbed up a
small Douglas fir near the Banff
Springs hotel to photograph a nest
full of young horned owls which
could he snapped from the top of
this tree in their nest in a big
stum]). I was just taking a close-
up of the owls when the mother bird
cumo at me in full flight, hit me in
the back of the neck and knocked
me out of tho tree. I dropped about
twenty-five feet, grasping ' various
limbs as I fell, but being a Scots
man 1 kept a firm grip on my cam
era, which had cost money.”
Only a short time previously Mc
Cowan had climbed 500 feet up the
stoop slopes of a cliff near Banff to
reacli an eagle’s nest. lie had just
succeeded in photographing the
young eaglets when their feathered
protectors swooped down from a
thousand feet above and made such
menacing motions with their dang
erous-looking talons within a few
feet of McCowan’s faco that he scur
ried down tho cliff to safety.
SHOULD DREAM ON
Y/A
Mrs. Cox Quite Well
Now And Pleased
With Cardui.
Mrs. w7~lT Cox, 120
Church Street, Chester, S.
C., says:
"I suffered awfully . ,..
I would havo a terrible
pain, at times; I could
hardly stand It, I slept
badly; my rest was dis
turbed and I seemed to get
little benefit from It.
"I read about Cardui In
tho papers and thought It
might bo a good thing to
try, so I began taking it.
I was so pleased with the
way I Improved that I kept
on taking It until I felt
quite well. Cardui helped
me so much and so many
people havo remarked a-
bout my Improvement.”
Cardui has been used
and recommended by thou-
ands of other women, for
over 45 years. Try it.

Gigantic Flying Boat
The wqrld’s largest flying boat,
built by tho French government,
has just been completed at a cost of
$150,000 and pronounced a success
after numerous flights. Five air
cooled engines—two on either side
at tho edge of the wings and the
fifth in the bow of the hull—give
the plane a total horse power of 2,-
100. The wings measure 131 feet
2 inches, with a maximum wing
thickness of 5 feet 10 inches. Twen
ty-two men can be safely carried
aloft.
Loud Phonograph
Said to have the tone volume of
20 orchestral instruments, a phono
graph recently invented, is causing
much interest in Germany. The
tone volume is declared to be aug
mented by the influx into the sound
box of a mixture of atomized air
and oil generated by a hand pump
and projected to the resonator.
Camera Works Fast
M. Nogues, the French inventor
who was able to show the flight of
the shell from a gun with his newly
invented camera that takes 300 pic
tures a second, says that within a
short time he will develop his ap
paratus until it records 600 images
a second.
