NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM.
Improvement Made in Electric Equip
ment on Santa Fe Cars.

Chas. Dorman- representing the Col
umbia Axle Lighting company of New
York. will leave Topeka the first of the
week He has been here during the past
three weeks showing the men on the
Santa. Fe how to equip the cars with
this system OF car lighting. He goes
from here 10 one OF the Texas roads.
The Columbian system is a wonderful
Improvement over the system which was
IN use on the Santa F'e heretofore. IN
using the old system two sets of storage
batteries had to be provided as the dyn-
amO ran so irregularly that at times
il would produce more electricity than
one set could hold While the train was
in motion the lights were fed direct
from the dynamo
In using the Columbian system all
this trouble is done away with as the
dynamo is regulated automatically and
gives out the same amount OF current
regardless OF the speed of the train The
lights are fed from the batteries instead
of from the dynamo
In the test given the new system the
officials Of the road expressed them
selves as well pleased with the showing
made It costs about $3.50 to equip 8
car with the apparatus.

His Quick Wit of Service at Chicago on

By trite little joke, sprung with
cool but effective defamation, William
Jennings Bryan at the Labor Day pic
mic arrested a stampede Of frantic men
and women in the speakers stand at
Electric park. prevented a panic and,
in the belief of all who witnessed the
episode, saved many persons from be-
ing crushed beneath the falling struc-
ture or trampled in a riot for safety,
says the Chicago Record.
The Nebraskan had just fought his
way through a crowd Of 10000 shrek
ing admirers and had taken his place in
front Of the orators platform when the
already overcrOwded floor Of the small
stand creaked, grOaned and began to
waver. A crash that could rot be
heard by the vast audience bowling in
its admiration for the Democratic can
didate for President struck terror to
the hearts of all in the frail structure
upon which he stood. A section of the
worn floor gave way, women shrieked
in terror and men tried to jump over
the railing upon the heads of the pack
ed throng at the rear Of the stand.
Policemen shouted: BE still, or the
while thing will fall!' The trembling
fabric Of weather-beaten pine swayed,
and the occupants already felt the de-
lirium of abject terror.
Hello" laughed Bryan, turning a
smiling face upon the scared people

LOCAL PRESENTATION.
Simple sagGestisas for Its Treatment
and Cure.


and Cure.
Though the sweat glands are dis
tributed very generally over the body,
local excess Of perspiration is not un-
common. Some people perspire freely
about the angle OF the jaw while eat
ing; In others, beads Of perspiration
nay be seen standing in and near the
eyebrows while the rest of the face is
quite dry, and attacks OF neuralgia are
frequently accompanied by increased
moisture over the painful area. The
parts most frequently and most un-
pleasantly affected with local sweating
are the hands and the feet The con-
dition may vary from simple moisture
to state in which the hands or face
are constantly wet, or even actually
dripping. The greatest distress is
caused by profuse sweating of the feet,
Tor this may really incapacitate the
sufferer. In extreme cases. the skin Of
the feet Is sodden and the epidermis
peels of, leaving the soles raw and
tender. In addition. there is often a
dtsagreeable odor, which is not due to
want Of cleanliness. but which is
sometimes thought to be, and SO men
tai distress is added to physical. The
treatment Of perspiring feet is dim
cult, but by no means hopeless; for
while the condition is not often cured,
1t can usually be ameliorated. Too
much warm local bathing is not advis-
able, and when the odor is not marked,
once day Is often enough to wash the
feet. Sometimes salt baths help. The
feet should be patted-not rubbed
with damp cloth, and then with dry
one several times day, the stockings
being changed at the same time and
the skin busted with fullers earth, OK
ide of zinc and magnesia, boric acid
and bismuth, Venetian tale, or some
other smooth powder The stockings
may be dipped in a solution Of boric
acid after being washed, so that they
are constantly impregnated with this
antiseptic. Sometimes better results
are reached by using zinc, bismuth, or
boric acid in the form of an ointment.
Sometimes lotions of tannin in SUI
ton, or brandy, or some other astrin-
gent will give relief II these simple
measures do not suffice, more severe
ones must be tried, but these should
be undertaken only under the physi-
clans care.-Youth's Companion.
