at first, perhaps, in taking the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt regularly,
is a decrease in weight. 1t is
getting rid of all the unhealthy,
unnatural flesh and tissue-J

makes it so valuable in cases Of
obesity.
But after that, or, if you are
thin already, the firm, sound,
healthy flesh that you need comes
in a thoroughly natural way.
Your digestive organs are put
into perfect condition; your ap-
petite is sharpened; there's no
waste; the food that you take
nourishes you.
No matter whether you're too
stout or too thin-the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt brings you to the
proper, healthy standard, either

Smallest Electric Battery In the World

In contrast to the very large generators
of Observation-Disclosures and dynamo cleo.
trio machinery-in such common use to-
day, it may be interesting to note what is
perhaps the smallest electric battery ever
constructed, and no doubt also the small
est generator of electrical or mechanical,
energy. This battery was constructed
some years ago by one of the electricians
of the Boston Telephone company and
consisted of an ordinary glass bead,
through which two wires, one of copper
and the other of iron, were Topped and
twisted so as to prevent their coming in
contact. The wires acted as the electrodes,
and all that was necessary to cause a cur
rent to flow was to place drop OF acidu-
lated water in the bead. Certainly such
a minute battery furnished but an infin-
itesiinal current, but could be easily used
in delicate telephone-in fact, it is said
to have actually been used in signaling to
distance of nearly 500 miles.-Cassier's

KING OF THE REAR PLATFORM.
Harrison Makes Nine Speeches in a
Day in the Indiana Campaign.


Evansville Ind, Oct Eek President
Benjamin Harrison to-day again demon
strated his right to the title of thegreat-
est rear platform orator in America
Starting from Indianapolis at $40 o'clock
this morning he made eight speeches,
varying in length from two minutes to
three-quarters of an hour to audiences
ranging in size from 300 to 10000, and clos
ing the days work by addressing 5000
people in Evans hall here tonight. Gen
Harrison's versatility and his ability as
an off-hand speaker were never more
strongly displayed than they were on to-
days trip. He never repeated himself
he was never at a loss for an apt illus
tration or a pat anecdote, and his famil-
iarity with the people and the country
through which the train passed. enabled
him to round out his remarks with local
illusions which delighted his hearers as
nothing else could have done.
For the ex-president himself the Jour
ney was in the nature of a personal ova-
ton. Most of his auditors we're no doubt
staunch republicans. whose devotion to
the party would have insured their pres
encc no matter who the speaker was But
beyond all party considerations, there was
evident in the crowds that cheered the
white-haired eX-presdent a feeling of
personal loyalty and state pride that set
the people of Sullivan-a democratic
strong hold-cheering as Justify as the
rock-ribbed republicans of Greencastle
had done. The strongest proof of this feel
ing was to be found in the fact that, des-
pite the wretched, drizzling weather, the
crowds We're unprecedently large for a
state campaign, reaching, in fact the pro-
portions brought out in presidential
canvass,
