AMERICAN TOOLS.
Why They Arc Recognized as Superior
to Those of Other Countries.

w VI OtucT CuuntflCBs
The progress OF n nation can be
very well followed by noting the char
acter OF the tools required in prosecut-
ing the manual labor. Tho crudest
agricultural methods are coupled with
primitive plows and other instruments
OF the husbandman. There is an old
snying that good workman requires
but few tools, and the most elaborate
kit collected by modern enthusiastic
carpenter when beginning his trade
may DO no indication OF tho workman's
skill but on the other hand, tho
workman who has added to his stock
OF implements now though simple aids
Is apt to DO the one who can do the
best work tho most rapidly.
The United States is now recognized
as particularly strong In the machine
tool industry, says the Engineering
Magazine, not only in regard to tho
higher class OF laths planers and
boring machines but in all tho minor
hand TOOLS measuring devices and
graduated scales, and In tho many
productions that were but few years
ngo to be had only from importers,
poor in quality md design.
The fundamental principles that
underlie tho theory Of construction Of
machine tools have been studied by
the American engineers. melted by
tho necessity OF doing good work in
large quantities through tho instru.
mentality OF only moderately skilled
workmcn whose wages aro high.
1t would be invidious to point to
any one man or sot OF men rs presuu.,
ably the originators OF what Is thoo-
retically good in our application OF
the laws OF physics to our embodimen.
OF these laws In labor-saving ma
chinery, nor will space permit tho
explanation OF how correct principles
introduced little by little have been
accepted by all. and thus in time
become characteristic OF our designs.
That our machine tool makers have
produced labor-saving machines capa-
bio OF doing tho best work with less
skill on the part OF tho operatives Is
acknowledged by the acceptance OF
such machinery us models in other
countries where, in some cases. still
greater improvement has been made
while in other cases tho best features
have been lost through the failure OF
tho copyist TO grasp the theory Of tho
conception and to understand tho
motive and aim OF the originator.

woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts q stop to it. It's
remedy for all the delicate de-
rangcmcnts and disorders that make
hor snfrar, and qure for all the dis.
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's n legitimate medi-
cine, that corrects and cures; a
tonic that invigoratcs and builds
up; a nervire that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displaccments, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to cure ?
That's true. But they don't claim
TO do this: Il tho Favorito Pre-
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recon-
mended, tho money paid for it is
refunded.
Judge for yourself which is likely
TO bo the better medicine.
And think whether something else
offered by the dealer is likely TO be
just rs good"
You pay only for the good you get.
On these terms it's the cheapest.
