What Would You Give

To be cured of catarrh? If you or your
friends have the disease, you know how
disagreeable it is. Its symptoms are
inhamed eyes, thrObbing temples, ring

of mucous. Fortunately its cure is not
question of what you will give, but
what you will take. If you will take

HEART-Some facts regarding the
rapid increase of heart failure Don't
be alarmed, but look for the cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life it is more often the result
of weak stOmachs and poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease is incur
able, but not one case in a. hundred Of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
Bile and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by branches of
the same great nerves, the sympathetic
and pneumOngaStric
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas fermentation from
half digested food; there is a feeling of
oppression and heavfness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action, hence arises
palpitatiOn and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOisOns the blood
makes it thin and mattery, which irri-
tateS the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by consulting Dr.
Wood and securing his new method of

Some Late Inventions,

Shears and scissors are to be made
with hall bearings, the washer at the
end of the connecting rivet being cut
out ON the underside to form a ball
race, which not only decreases the
wear on the rivet, but securely holds
the cutting edges together.
A handy tool for carpenters use is
nailholder, for starting nails in corners
and places where the fingers cannot
hold them easily, steel punch having
pair of jaws attached to It's face to
grasp the nail and hold 1t while the
hammer is driving it.
Pens can he adjusted at any desired
angle in new holder, which has the
pen socket mounted on ball set in
clamping head, so 1t can be moved in
the position desired and held fast by
turning a screw at the opposite end of
the holder to lock the jaws in the
head.
Ground is easily thawed for mining
operations by the use of a new ap-
paratus having stove mounted on n
sled. with boiler over the firehox the
water being heated and discharged In
the form of steam to thawing cham

The ORIGIN of Confetti

Confetti" was invented by accident.
A big printing house in Paris used to
turn out millions of almanacs yearly,
each with small hole punched in the
corner to receive metallic eyelet. An
enormous quantity of the tiny paper
circles accumulated. These were sent
to the paper makers, and would be so
disposed of still had not chance and
the smart proprietor turned them to
profit. According to the Family Doc
tor" 1t happens that two Of the work
men were having n little dispute. Sud-
denly one of them caught up handful
Of the paper circles and threw them
in the others face.
The other workmen Joined In, and in
the midst Of the engagement the pro-
prietor appeared Far from getting
angry. he told one of the men to fill
n paper bag with the circles and take
them TO his house. That night he en-
gagged seat in the gallery at the
opera, and during the dances showered
the paper down on the heads Of the
people below. The idea caught on i'm
mensely. and he invented special ma
chimes for manufacturing the confetti
One has only to walk through Paris or
Brussels during carnival to get an idea
of the quantity of these little circles
used. In Paris alone during the three
days carnival of the Boeuf Gras there
were 200 tons of the confetti used.

English Tramps

While some vagabounds remain in
the country during the winter, there Is
none the less general exodus from
the road in the autumn. In the South
the professional wayfarer's last chance
Of obtaining work in the fields is at
"hopping": in the North, Mt "tater
scratching" Thousands of vagrants
rely on one or the other industry to get
winters stock or keep, or, at least,
something with which to tide them
over the beginning of the town season.
Comparatively seldom, however, do
they reach their winter quarters with
much money.
Incredible as 1t may seem, It is vet
fact that every autumn number Of
I.ondon's wastrels tramp into Kent for
no other purpose than that Of "going
through"-of robblng-poor "hoppers";
and Migrants, Notwithstanding that
they are versed in the ways Of the
sneak thief, and hide their money
more regularly than they wash them
selves, are vlctimized as readily as
are toiling East Enders. Other tramps
squander their money before they
reach town.-Good Words.

Making Brass Instruments

The bell of brass band instrument,
which Is the big end. extending back
to the bow or first bend, is made of a
single piece of metal which was origi-
nally fiat. The pattern by which the
metal is cut Is OF the shape that n
bell would have If II were slit straight
down the side from end to end and
then fiattened out When the fat
piece of metal from which a bell Is
formed has been cut out hy such n
pattern. it is bent by hand over a
rod until the edges meet. The seam Is
brazed. and the piece Of metal now has
its trumpet shaped form, but with
many little more or less uneven places
In the thin metal.
The bell Is then placed upon wood
en- mandrel. form which fills the in
terror of the bell from end to end and
is Of the size and shape to which the
hell Is to be conformed. The inequall-
ties in the surface OF the metal are
then worked out Of 1t by hand with
wooden hammers. the bell being re-
peatedly driven down upon the man.
drel When the bell has at last been
brought In this manner substantially
to its true form II Is finished and
brought to its perfect smoothness Of
surface in n spinning machine.
