for everything from a heartache 10 a

variably treated with two missions, one
on each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will

place of taking the course he did

how he treated his troubles:

cause of my backache from which l

Der of years. Standing on ones feet
some days IS hours is hard on the best
of backs, but when you have pain across
the loins, with lameness and soreness,

A Cement Which Resists Acid.

In some branches Of industry a ce-
ment which is proof against the intlu-
ence Of acids is absolutely essential,
and such a substance can be prepared
by melting together one part of India
rubber with two parts Of linseed oil.
This should be gradually incorporated
form a plastic mass. This when heated
softens but very little. Though it does
not easily dry upon the surface, when
once set it is not affected at all by hy-
drochloric acid and but very little by
nitric acid. Its drying and hardening
is materially promoted by mixing with
one-fifth Of its weight Of litharge or

THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.

"There are plenty of people" said a

one. two, three years without tuning,

but a piano should be tuned every three
months That would be none too often

"As a matter of fact, a piano begins
to get out of tune again at once after
it has been tuned. How could it he
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be SO slight as
scarcely TO be perceptible TO any but
the practiced and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner but it is there. Doesn't a
clock begin TO run down as soon as ii is
wound up -Four times a year a piano
ought 10 be tuned, but only a COMPARE
lively small percentage Of people give
their pianos that attention which is
needed to keep them in their most per-
feet lOvelineSS of tone. Piano makers
and dealers Of course are looking after
the tuning of their pianos in stock
scrupulously and carefully all the time
You don't hear pianos out of tune in q
piano wareroom. They never let them
get out of tune there. They aim, in
fact. at keeping them as near perfec-
ton as they can.
1--WE are pretty sure to find in every
new piano something pleasing and at
tractive Some share at least of this
pleasing quality comes from its being
in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any
piano at its best it must be kept in

neighbors alike, tuning tonic should

MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD
Signature In an Autograph Album
and the Poets Copy of "Pindar."


The Harvard library numbers among
its treasures an autograph of Milton
and a copy of "pindar' annotated in
Millions own handwriting, with mar
ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these rarities were bequeathed TO
the university by Charles Sumner.
The "Pindar" is dated 1929 and was
doubtless used by Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
end he has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript, occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
in his notes, with references to the
pages in which their names occur.
Millions autograph is found in the
pages of an autograph album or visit
ors' book kept, according to n custom
common in the sixteenth century, 10y a
Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Car
dOyn by name, who resided in Geneva
from 1908 TO 1910, where Milton. ap-
parently, visited him. Another auto
graph in this same album among the
hundreds which it contains is that Of
Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate
Earl of Stafford. Mnton's signature is
dated Jan. 10, 1889. and is appended
to a Latin mOtto-"Travel changes ones
