INVENTOR OF THE AlRBRAkE.
The Thing That Started Westinghouse on
the Road to Fortune.

The Thing That Started Westinghouse on
the Road to Fortune.
A number of years ago Pennsylvania
inventor wanted to sell Mckee Rankin,
tho actor, n largo interest in patent air
brake for railways for q small sum. The
actor did not feel like investing, even on
tho solemn assurance of tho confident in
ventor that the apparatus was greatly
needed, but he has always wished he had
advanced the sum offered, for the young
Inventor was George Westinghouse, and
the airbrako has proved one OF tho most
important and valuable inventions of tho
century. Westinghouse is like Edison in
his capacity for hard work After u day
spent in directing the great commercial
organizations of which ho is tho head he
goes to his laboratory and private shop to
conduct the experiments which it is his
delight to carry on. TO such man tho
invention of the airbrako was merely q
step in the career of fertile planning and
investigation. When his brake was we'll
started on the high road to success ho
turned to tho steam engine and brought
out practically now type in that field.
BY tho time this engine was placed ON
the market electricity was attracting the
attention of inventive minds throughout
tho country. Westinghouse viewed the
situation and decided that the then COM
mon use OF low tension, continuous cur
rents, while good for incandesccnt light
ing and power purposes Oh circuits of linn
tied extent, was unsatisfactory for longer
circuits He looked forward into the fu-
turc of electrical distribution OF power and
saw that high tension alternating cur
rents would prove the most important in
few years. So he bought up the leading
foreign and domestic patent in this branch
of electrical development, then neglected,
and went to work improving and perfect
ing his apparatus. Transcript.

Similarly, different feeling for word may
be brought out; quit, meaning stop, is
said to be In good use in west central Illi-

a child's word OF used in certain restricted
senses, for example, "to quit work.;

Teachers, ministers and physicians go

How a Doctor Cures uiccourhs.

DIR. j. Frank Lydston is inclined to
make joke of the story that II man was
cured of hiccough by lemonade. 1t soems
n certain Judge j. ID. Rose of Curryville
Mo-, was dying of hiccough. W. II. Sis
trunk, grocer of Louisville, tolegraphcd
the judge to sip lemonade mt regular in
torvals, with tho result that he soon re-
covered, although he had been given up
by thrco doctors.
Tho only plausible explanation, said
DR.. Lydston, is the shock tho man got
on receiving such message from the state
of kentucky. Ho perhaps got we'll to get
rid of taking lemonade.
There is no scientific explanation of
tho Cause or euro for hiccough," went on
the doctor. 1--WE say it is violent and
irregular contraction of tho diaphragm.
But it often comes on without apparent
cause and goes as mystcriously.
Il always cure myself of hiccough by
holding tho ends of my two index fingers
as close as l can without allowing them to
touch In that way l concentrate my
mind SO closely on tho fingers forget the
hiccough. 1t may DO tho surprise at re-
ceiving telegram Oh such a subject from
ono unknown helped to dispel the muscu-
lar paroxysm, or it might be moro coin
oidenco that the hiccough stopped whom
tho man began drinking tho lemonade.
Or he may have got it along tho line of
mental suggestion. "-Chicago Tribune.

N Roanoke Merchants Novel Plan to
Secure New IdeAs.

We used to argue the question "Does Adver
Using Pays" That day has passed. The mill
lions Of money spent, and tho numbers OF indi-
viduals and corporations to-day established as
success, settle the question beyond all dispute
Business men everywhere conccdc the fact and
feel the want. Tho question now is How to
Make Advertising Pay?"-"Thc Science of
Advertising, or How to Get the Greatest Return
for tho Money Spent" The various novelties
mcchanisme, devices and drawings, all como In
to prove that culture, genius. wit and ingenuity,
have all entered the field is an answer to the great
dissidcratum. While oil these have just claims,
as in other things go in this. the newspaper comes
to the front WELDING and forging it's overwhelm-
ing force-and all must acknowledge its superior
advantas cs. Is the science Of advertising an in
viting field? Does it offer inducements? AS to
the field itself, wo say 1t is wide ana
pleasant one; whore man or woman, boy or girl,
young or old rich or poor may meet upon COM
mon level, where wit humor, culture, genius,
ekill, art, drawing, caricaturc, all may find en-
ploymcnt. Does 1t pay! The millions paid for
this WORK annually attest the truth. There isn't
paper, pt riodical, or publishing house which
hasn't a well paid man for this work. There
isn't business of any proportion that hasn't, or
is not looking for person who can acceptably do
this work. There isn'ta retail store to day which
does not have or require such an one In order to
do successful business.
The man or woman, boy or girl. who can make
an advertisement yield the maximum return OF
profit, has a skill that to HIM or her is valuable.
One of most enterprising houses THE
ROANOKE SHOE Co., the spot cash money eavers,
knowing and acknowledging the Importance Of
advertising and the necessity OF getting the
greatest returns for money spent in that way and
noted for having striking, telling advertise
ments, and to encourage the rising generation
by the development OF any talent they may have,
suggests and offers to pay $40 IN gold for the
Best Advertisement written or gotten up by
any pupil (whte or coloIcd) in Roanoke county
or city. This Ia q field OF usefulness spreading
out to young men and women and all good citi
zens should lend their influence to encourage de.
velopment along this line. Not only Will 1t stim-
Mate and encourage development among those
more natur ally given to this particular skill but
is an incentive TO attend school and renew an in
terest in each other. Let every teacher urge Just
as many OF his or her pupils to enter the contest
as possible and try to inspire new life OF in
tcrest and development into the CHILDREN. The
prize is worth the winning and the EFFORT worth
many times the prize. This is matter OF pub
lie good-a ball thrown in the right direction.
Real advertising is telling the right truth at the
proper time
