panying drawing. As there is no ne
cessity for the operator to maintain a
STOPPING position many a backache
would be saved, not to mention the
fulfillment of the practical business
mans test of the value of an innova-
tion-that of saving time. The ma
chine as shown comprises a large TO-
tary scrubber, actuated by a pair of
traction wheels at the rear of the car
riage, through the medium OF two
sprocket chains and a bevel gear.
There is also a hopping brush mount
ed in front of the traction wheels,
with a receptacle in conjunction to
catch the water after the scrubbing is
accomplished. Above the rotary
scrubber is tank for containing the
water and soap, with a valve to ad-
just the flow to the required quantity.
Arrangement is also made to adjust
the pressure of the bristles by vary
ing the height of the swiveled wheel
in front of the mop AS the hopping
brushes revolves it throws the water
into shield or casing partially sur
rounding it, discharging it thence to
the tank. The reservoir having been
filled with water of the proper tenn
perature and the parts adjusted, the
operator has nothing to do but drive
the machine back and forth across the
floor as long as there is a vestige of
dirt remaining. The inventor OF this
labor-saver is John A. Nelson, Of Sa-
lima, Kan.

Home Remedies.


The following simple remedies are
given for the benefit of those who
have formed the habit of taking nat.
ent medicines. Everybody is advised
to give these remedies fair trial:
they surely can do no good and NAV
do some harm:
To Cure Toothache-When tooth
begins to jump tie same down by
means OF stout rope, so that jumping
is impossible. If tooth continues to
ache go to some dentist who has a
pull.
10 Cure Insomnia-Shut your eyes
and count gray sheep, which you must
imagine you see jumping over a pair
Of bars. Count from sheep No. / up
to sheep No. 57,432. BY that time it
will be daylight and you will be
obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove a Wart-Try filing it
OF and if the wart does not succumb
to this use a stump puller. If this
falls try saying words over it, but
don't swear SO hard that the neigh
bors will hear you-Ohio State Jour.
nal.

need of a hitching post. great con-
'venience where driver is compelled
to make frequent stops and leave the
animal, as much valuable time may be
wasted in tying the horse at every
stop. The arrangement of this fast:
ener is such. that when the animal
starts forward the reins are wound up
on a spindle connected with one of
the wheels, thus pulling the horse
back until the tension is relieved. An
upright supporting frame is secured
to the floor of the wagon, carrying a
revolving spindle at the top. The
spindle is capped by slotted disk to
serve as fastening means for the
reins, while beneath the disk is a

A Man and His Heart

Once upon time there was a rich
old man who had a heart so weak
that It's faint beatings could hardly be
heard; yet, in the metaphor of our
time, that same heart was filled with

The lady heard of her wooer's phys
ical and financial condition, and
looked upon his suit with extreme IA
vor. The result was that they were
married.
Moral-Faint heart sometimes wins
