THE MODERN MANGLE.

Evening Machines With . Daily Capacity
Of Many Thousands OF Pieces.
Mangles in one form and another have
been used for hundreds Of years, but the
steam mangle of the present day is es.
sentially modern machine. Steam man.
giles are made of various sizes, with rolls
ranging in length from As inches to 100
inches. One Of the rolls is of hollow
steel and heated with steam The auxil.
larry rolls are of iron, covered with cot.
ton cloth and blankets or felting. Steam
mangles are made also with two hot
rolls. In ironing such things as sheets
and tablecloths by hand. it is customary
to iron one side only. Steam mangles
with single hot roll iron in that man.
ner. With two hot rolls the steam man.
gle irons with smooth finish on both
sides.
Mangles are used only for fat articles:
for things without buttons or buckles:
for sheets and pillow cases. tablecloths
and napkins, towels and handkerchiefs,
and SO on, Mangles of the largest size
will iron Of hotels washing, taken
just as it comes. $4,000 pieces in a day:
of small pieces, such as napkins, they
will iron four times as many pieces in q
day.
From the washing machine the things
60 to an extractor to be dried The ex-
tractor revolves at a high speed, and the
moisture is whirled out by centrifugal
action. From the extractor, Just damp
enough to work well, the things go to
the mangle Such things as sheets are
fed into the great ironing machine by
two men, each holding corner. There
is fixed table, as long as the rolls, at.
tached to the machine on the other side.
Two men receive the sheet there and
fold it. In ironing small pieces like
napkins and towels on such a machine
they would be fed in by a row of girls
standing on one side and be received by
another row of girls ON the other side.
On the largest machines there would
be six or eight girls on each side. Amer.
lean steam mansles are used not only in
this country, but they are sold in all the
countries Of Europe as well.
A great many mangles are made with
wood rolls Of polished maple. Such
mangles are sometimes operated by
power, but commonly by hand. They
are used in hotels and laundries and res.
taurants and for household work. Man.
giles with wood rolls are exported to the
various countries Of Spanish America
and to South Africa and Australia

however. when this increase should for
n time take the form Of increased facili-

fact that there is only one dock on the
Pacific coast capable Of docking our
largest ships. and only one on the At
lantlc coast. and that the latter has for
the last six or seven months been UNI
der repair and therefore Incapable OF
use. Immediate steps should lie taken
To provide three or four docks OF this
capacity On the Atlantic coast, at least
one On the Pacific coast. and a floating
dock On the gulf.
There should also be ample provision
made for powder and projectiles and
other munitions of war. and for an in

Caught in the Act.

A business man on Commercial
street has been missing his San Fran =
cisco paper for a number of mornings
and particularly on Sunday mornings,
when the sneak-thief decided to take
advantage of the uususpectiDg sub
scriber while he was enjoying his
Sunday morning nap" The sub
scriber referred to stood the thing as
long as he could, and yesterday morn-
ng concluded to ascertain who the
hief was. Concealing himself in his
place of business be waited for the
paper carrier to arrive. But few
movements elapsed after the depart
ure of the carrier, when young man
put in an appearance, removed the pa
per fro;n the door and started down
the street. The indignant subscriber
hailed the thief and compelled him to
replace the paper where he found it.
The man reluctantly did as he was
ordered much to his humiliation, and
sneaked off down the street. There
is no excuse for such :unprincipled
thieves as those who will deprive
subscriber Of his paper.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid crease
of Heart Troubles.
DO Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.

DO Not Be Alarmed, But Look for the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among
American business life, 1T is more
often the result of weak stomachs, of
poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case ia hundred
of heart trouble, Is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by that form OF poor diges-
tion, which causes gas and fermenta-
tion from half digested food; there is
a feeling OF oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure Of the
ldisteAded stomach on the. heart and
lungs; interfering with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, makes it thin and Watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is TO improve the d.
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use
afteFsmeals, OF some safe. pleasant
and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless
digestive elements, in a pleasant, con-
veDienL form.
1t is safe TO say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form OF stomach trouble, except can
Ger OF stomach.
Full sized packages OF the tablets
sold by druggists at so cents.
