ASH CAN IS RUN ON WHEELS
Can Be Wheeled to Curb Without
Fuss or Fear of Soiled Clothes—
-1 Knock for Chore Man.
It—was a flash of genius that in
spired a Connecticut man to put
wheels on an ash can. And when in
addition to this he affixed a handle,
which also acts as a brake, he puts
the chore man almost out of business.
For the head of the Souse can now
roll his own ash can out to the curb,
if he is not too proud to do so, with
out any trouble at all and without
soiling his clothes. The can is
mounted on a pair of small wheels
and the handle is hinged to the side.
A bolt at the bottom engages the
cross bar of the handle and locks

the latter in a vertical position when
it is not in use as a pusher. Thus
the ends of the handle act as a brake
and prevent the can from rplling
away by itself or from upsetting, as
it would otherwise do with only two
centered wheels to rest upon.
GERMANY MAKES SLAG BRICK
Well Suited for Building of Houses on
Account of Strength and Re
sistance to Heat.
In Germany the granulated slag
from blast furnaces is being utilized
for the manufacture of brick. The
making of slag brick is no new thing,
but heretofore fluid slag has been
employed for the purpose, and the
brick thus produced has been found
unsuitable for building purposes, be
cause of its impermeability to air
and steam.
But the slag bricks made in Ger
many are, it is said, not open to this
objection. On the contrary, while ex
ceeding the strength of ordinary
bricks and possessing an extraor
dinary resistance to heat, they are
more permeable to air, and conse
quently are well suited for the build
ing of houses. They do not absorb
water as rapidly as ordinary bricks.
HOW TO LIFT HEAVY BARREL
lllustratlcn Shows Method That Does
Not Require Much Muscle—
Two Ropes Are Needed.
The plan shown in the illustration
is one well worth remembering. If

a heavy barrel up a pair of steps or
onto a platform. It can very easily be
done With two ropes. One end of
each rope is attached near the top

of the incline, then wound about the
barrel as shown. It does not take
very much muscle to get a heavy
barrel up quite a steep incline by this
method.
Soldering Aluminum.
Among the latest methods tried for
soldering aluminum is one due to a
Norwegian who cleanses the alum
inum surfaces by immersion in an
electrolytic bath and plates copper on
them, after which he has no difficulty
in soldering the coppered surfaces to
each other. Offhand, this sounds like
a complicated process, but the ease
and speed with which electroplating
can be done makes it comparatively
simple and it may be one solution of
the vexatious problem of joining
pieces of aluminum.

[SWEDISH RAPID FIRING GUN
Eleven Hundred and Twenty-Five
Shots an Hour Fired From Weap
on That Is Carried in Hand.
Ever since men began to kill each
other, which was very soon after self
ish interests began to clash, a good
share of their leisure time has been
devoted to the elevating of inventing
instruments for that killing.
It is curious that crudities still ap
pear in the weapons which the
geniuses of centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should
be opened at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfections in our most
cherished killing machine, the rifle.
Yet it is only a few years since the
smoke of black powder was done
away with and comparatively a mat
ter of days since Maxim produced
his sound-choking flame-suppressing
device. And now’ comes news from
Sweden that an inventor there has
found means, at last, to stop the
kick which has made sore shoulders
from the time the first blunderbuss
was discharged, and has constructed
a weapon that will drop men so fast
that a single marksman may dispose
of a regiment in an hour.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from a gun that 1b
carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder is a high record. If that
gun is smokeless and kickless, it is
convenient to handle and but little
trouble to operate.
The weapon has already taken rank
with the most approved and will
doubtless become a part of the arma
ment of many of the world’s armies.
FIT AUTOMOBILE TO OWNER
Nearly All Large Factories Do More
or Less Custom Work in Ad
justing Machines.
Nearly all of the large automobile
factories do more or less custom work
in fitting automobiles to their pros
pective users in very much the same
way as a clothier alters ready-made
suits or overcoats to fit purchasers.
The great difference in the length -of
arms, legs and body sometimes makes
it more comfortable for the owner of
a car if the position, distances, and
angle of the seat, footboard, and
steering wheel are made accordingly.
The framework shown in the illus
tration is the adjustable means by

Measuring a Man for an Automobile,
which one concern makes measure
ments for such cases, says the Popu
lar Mechanics. The seat can be
raised and lowered, the footboard tilts
to different angles, and the steering
wheel rod can be shortened or length
ened.

|OF THE AGE OF CHIVALRY
Fat Victim of Cupid Bashfully Ac
knowledges Real Reason for His
Act of Heroism.
The smallest boy had broken
through the ice and the fat boy was j
crawling'to bis rescue.
‘‘Come back. Fatty!" the other boys |
shrieked. “You'll bust It all in, an’
den youse’ll both be drowned!”
But the fat boy, flat on his stom
ach and spread out to his widest ex
tent, ignored these warning cries and
steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tommy’s clinging fingers.
Once the ice made a cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay.
But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer
and nearer he came, and finally his
outstretched hands caught those cling
ing fingers and drew the small boy,
little by little, onto the firmer ice and"
so to safety.
“What did youse do it fer, Fatty?”
one of the boys tearfully remonstrat
ed.
“Aw^- replied the hero, “I knew
what I lost In weight I made up in
wideness, see?”
Then his face softened.
"Besides,” he bashfully said, "I’m
sweet on Tommy’s sister!”

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
“My troubles began along in the j
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally ■
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that I could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
"I tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and Inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment !
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months’ time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them.” (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,

“But if our fathers and mothers had

HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN
The woman who “keeps house” has -
enough to do jyhen she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from mern to night
with an aehing back, house-work becomes
; a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
| way say that Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
al! tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of “blues,” and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap
pears, together with a discolored condi
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys arc weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
ous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan’s are harmless for children too.
DIDN’T THINK SHE WAS TIRED
Mr. Jinks’ Mean Insinuation When
Young Lady Dispossessed Him
of His Seat.
“That was adding Insult to Injury,”
said Representative Mann, the minor
ity leader of the house, apropos of a
political squabble. “It reminds me of
j’oung Jinks.
“Late one night young Jinks sat in
a crowded trolley car, and, when a
girl he knew got aboard and stood di
rectly in front of him, he made no
sign. His face hidden by his newspa
per, be pretended that he didn't know
the girl would like to have his seat.
“After a while she spoke.
“ ‘Good evening, Mr. Jinks.’
“ ‘Why, good evening.'
“ Tve been to the Primrose social
dance.’
“ ’lndeed.’
“Then, after a pause, she added:
“ It’s a wonder, Mr. Jinks, you !
wouldn’t offer me your seat!’ !.
“Jinks then got up. He was very i
' angry. He said, as he hooked himself
| to a strap:
“‘I thought you wouldn’t want It;
for, as you said j’ou'd been to a dance,
I knew you must have been sitting all
the evening.' ”
Felt Rather Fat.
“Mamma, I bad tbe nicest dream,”
said little Mary, age six, just after
waking in the morning.
What was it?" mamma asked.
“Why, I dreamt I was a young lady,”
the child explained.
“That felt pretty good, didn't it?”
tbe mother remarked.
“Yes." was the reply. “But I felt
rather fat."
WOMEN AND HEALTH.
Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
j face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev- j
ery woman is regularity of the bowels I 1
and digestive organs. The wear}* .
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches, ,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
Is in most every case due to consti
pation or indigestion, or both. There .
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most 1
pleasant and certainly- effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists ■
as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent ■
■ purgative waters that disturb the i ,
j whole system without affording more
than temporarj’ relief.
i Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a :
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func
tions without assistance.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
SI.OO bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to Dr. W. B
Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monti
cello, Ill.; he will gladlj’ send a trial
bottle without anj’ expense to you
whatever.

SCREAMED WITH PAIN.
A Connecticut Woman’s Awful Buffei*
Ing.
Mrs. Belina Jones. 200 Main St., An
sonia, Conn., says: “I began to have kid
ney trouble about 1898. An inflammation
of the bladder set in. I had cutting, drag
ging backaches; pain through the loins and
sides and soon got into a state of weak
ness, languor and general depression. My
limbs were so sore and tender I could
hardly bear the pressure of the bed cloth
ing. I bloated badly and my ankles swell
ed. I noticed a continual ringing in my
ears and specks flitted before my eyes. Th*
kidney secretions were unnatural and very
irregular. At times I fairly screamed with
pain. I became so weak and sick, that I
was put to bed and stayed there threa
months under doctor’s treatments. I grew
worse constantly, and my family was en
tirely discouraged. Beginning with Doan’*
Kidney Pills, I was surprised at their ef
fect. In less than a week, kidney weak>
ness and inflammation of the bladder dis
appeared. In three weeks I was up and
soon resumed my housework. I think
use of Doan s Kidney Pills saved my life.
